I'm on Vacation in the mountains eating nothing but crap & you're posting thjs...... make me feel like a slob.
First time with dbol, I was expecting more bloat for sure. Definitely notice it when my diet gets sloppy. I’m only running 20 mgs PWO, wonder if I’d bloat more at 40?
Was planning on upping it after week 2, but with the stomach issues I’ve decided to stay at 20.
Thoughts on strength/size increase from 20 to 40?
The difference i seen from 25mg to 50 mg was very noticeable. It was a surge almost. More mentally than anything, i just couldnt get rid of the bloat and water tho. I have been off it a couple weeks now and dropped 7 lbs sadly. Blood pressure and heart beat is on point tho. Upping the dose would be a good idea i think just to see how you respond to it, its definitely a badass drug, im not exactly sure how harsh this drug actually is. After about 4 weeks in i get side pain in my abdomen near my liver. I usually drop it at this point immediately. I was on several vitamins and 4000mg daily of NAC
Interesting, I’ll give it a shot next week. Have to travel this week for work so my diet will suffer and man it seems to know when my sodium intake goes up. My liver values always Are always high so I’ll just see if I can go off of feel as well. Appreciate it brother!
Need to up my support supplements as well.
I’m not. Because of the radiation, I couldn’t take anything with antioxidants in it (radiation works on oxidation).
I should be in the clear now though in resuming some antioxidants into my diet/supplement routine.
NAC will be on the list and will bring in up Wednesday at my doctors appointment
Week 6 pics.
The deca has finally arrived in my system.
My strength is definitely up. For #’s sake (always a good indicator for me) hitting 315
for 12 easily on bench, did 365 for 8 and 385 for 6. Will move to the 400’s next week. (I just use that exercise as a litmus test)
Have stalled out on growth though because I just can’t get the calories in. The downside of my timing is my stomach and appetite have shrunk considerably since my therapy. I know the MK 677 is helping though because I feel my blood sugar smoked when I first wake up. It’s tough sledding after that though and I’ve stalled as a result. Just not hungry and I fill up so easily. When I push it I get sick and my rear end pays the price. In hindsight I should’ve waited a few more months. Almost half way home though.
Still have the Dbol on board at 20 mgs but considering abandoning ship (getting some E2 induced edema and it goofs up my gut) maybe switching to Var at 50 mgs ed?
The Dbol hasn’t done too much for me other than a nice pre work out, id up the dose but am worried about the GI side effects and am already struggling in the food department.
Definitely have recomped though and have put on some muscle and stayed fairly lean. Overall happy with my physique considering the hell my body had been through in the last 6 months.
Weight on Friday was 255#
Am open to suggestions and critiques.
Would like to put on another 10# and stay lean.
Also would love to have an an afro and drive a Ferrari ;)

I do this because I’m proud of her, not to objectify her. She’s the hardest working person I know, why not celebrate her to you savages ;)
Not sure she’ll be thrilled with this decision if she finds out so keep your traps shut, lol.
Well no one will care about MY progress anymore, lol

I gotta say man, you got it all buddy. Enjoy every second of it.
Yes, we have all lost interest in you! LOL
Just kidding. It is rare to see a fit couple nowadays. You guys make most people in their 20’s envious.

That's awesome!
S&D, I think I speak for everyone when I say that you are relationship goals. There’s so much good surrounding you and I couldn’t be happier for you. I’m excited to follow along as you continue to crush the game of life.
I hope you know how much I appreciate you guys. This year took a lot from me (I know it took a lot from all of us) cancer and it’s treatments rocked my world, made me lose sight of myself and made me focus on what was taken instead being thankful for what I have.
I’ve said it before but this place was a respite for me. Also a great reminder of focusing on what I have and the strides I’m making as opposed to what I lost and the ground I have to make up.
Just appreciate you all...no better place to find motivation.
Fuck yeah! That’s awesome, you look amazing & who ever is with you does too
So nice to see some good this fucking asinine year.
Making me feel like a slacker - I def needed that. . . Keep going man!
Best of luck!
What do you know...getting in your calories makes you gain weight. Crazy ;)

Makes me sad looking at these pics. A lot of emotion man, still not at terms with it all. But you know what, feeling physically strong has helped me feel mentally strong. Repped 405# a couple of times on bench today...ya, I know the deca is kicking in but man, 3 months ago I never thought I’d be here again. Lightened up on my dosages and gonna cut it off in about 6 weeks, but I think I’m going to keep a lot of this. It’s been fun so far and damn it feels good to move some weight again, my soul needed it.
Week 7 ends tomorrow...

How much cardio are you doing? Staying lean and still gaining thats something to be proud of man looking nasty
Didn’t re-read the whole thread - But, I’ll take it as you’re going to a gym, right?
I’m about to just say fuck it & go back myself
Yes, back in the gym. My WBC is in the low end of normal so feel decent about my body’s ability to stave off an infection. I wear my mask, wipe down all equipment before and after and use hand sanitizer. I’m lucky too that my gym in never crowded (knock on wood) and feel like I always have plenty of space when I’m working out.
That and my “fuck you cancer” mentality. It’s taken enough, I’m fighting back lol
Oh, I’m fully released - it’s rolling up on 4 months
And, I feel great aside from the feeling of dragging my head behind me - that’s pulsatile tinnitus feel is oh so nice :icon_roll
But, I’m no competition for a cancer patient - well, shit - I sorta am. Fuck this race & this year
I been doing full workouts at home as soon as the 3 months hit < that’s when my neurosurgeon said I can load full weight - although he did say - maybe, not your full weight right away
Back on topic
Seeing people do well really does make me feel better nower days - I’ve seen & hear so much negative - it’s gotten old

Good work brother.. Reading things like this are what helps me to not make excuses and to get up and get after it. In the end its always me vs me, and you vs you. We are our own competition, we compete with ourselves from yesterday, 2 weeks ago, 2 years ago etc.

Couldn’t agree more. In the end this place should be a source of inspiration and a way for us to help each other out. We draw from each other. Sometimes we’re the faucet and sometimes we’re the drain. It’s a give and take in my opinion.
I certainly draw so much inspiration from the members here and hope that others are inspired by my story.
Checking in.
Weight is stuck right at 260. Strength is definitely up and crushing some weight but fuck I’m over food, especially eating super clean. Battling some minor injury stuff and took a couple days this week to de load and eat some garbage. Feeling human again and ready to get back it on Sunday. Chest is rounding out a bit and getting striations in my delts.
Holding some water in my mid section for sure. Dropped the Dbol and hoping it helps with my appetite, can’t say I was in love with it like I had hoped

Small.
Actually, you only outweigh me by 2 x 35lb plates...
46, two small kids, full time job where I have to travel.
It hasn’t been easy...
Have to meet with a gastroenterologist on Wednesday and get another scope, hopefully everything is ok. I’m slightly nervous but trying to stay positive. Appreciate it fellas, I know both Tarmy and Flexin are killing it...excited to follow you both.
My HCT had held in the low 50’s and is within range, I’ll probably donate next week regardless.
I am having major hand numbness with the MK, it’s almost out of control. Not sure how to mitigate it and know that it comes with the territory. My sleep had never been deeper at night and I’m dreaming like a champ...
