Summer Cutting Cycle along with Melanotan 11 w/pics

[PistolPete33]

Ok, so I'm posting an accountability log for my summer cutting cycle that I just started on Tuesday May 26th. This is not a beginner cycle so please if you're new don't copy what I'm doing. My stats are 39 years old 5' 6.5" tall and 198lbs. Guessing around 12% body fat right now. Lifting for several years and been on TRT for 2.5 years along with several cycles under my belt. I've yo-yoed a bit over the past several years between gaining muscle and trying to get smaller etc. and I don't want to be a huge monster so I'm pretty happy with the size I currently carry. I have a few injuries that hold me back quite a bit such as a herniated disc in my neck that restricts how much I can bench press, a fake hip, and my other hip having less than 2 years of life left on it before it needs to be replaced. My legs are smaller than I would want but because of the hip issues I can only squat 300lbs. and leg press about 700lbs.

Anyways, my goal is to drop down below 10% body fat and hopefully get closer to 8%. I carry most of my fat in my lower abs so I'm sure I will need to really diet down to get rid of this fat. Not looking to gain much size from this cycle but if I could keep at around 190-195lbs and 8% bodyfat I would be super thrilled.

Here is my cycle:

Weeks 1-2: 100mg/Test Prop EOD(400mg per week) 25mg/NPP EOD (100mg week- to help with joint pain from Winny) 100mg/Masteron Prop EOD (400mg/week) HCG 3 times per week, 1/2mg Anastrole Every Day (very prone to high conversion of E2, 10mg Nolva ED, 50mg Ralox (More gyno control)

Weeks 3-9 or 10: Same as above except adding 50mg Tren Ace EOD (200mg per week- this has been my sweet spot because I get super angry and anxious on higher doses)

Weeks 4-8 or 9: Adding in 40-50mg per day of Winny

No PCT needed because I will just go back to my TRT at the end of my cycle. I will prob. continue running the Prop after the Tren for 2 weeks depending on how I feel about pinning every single day for the next 2.5 months.


I've attached my current pics as a starting point. Diet is in check and training 5 days per week.

Split:

Day 1: Chest and abs
Day 2: bis and tris
Day 3: Legs and abs
Day 4: back
Day 5: shoulders and abs

[PistolPete33]

Forgot to mention that I will also be using Prami at night when I start running Tren to keep Prolactin in check and also started pinning .5mcg of Melanotan 11 starting last week. I will get dark as hell with this like I did last summer.

Look good now but you will look beast sub 10%. Good Luck

Thanks, I'm excited to see the changes

[davidtheman100]

Looks like you have similar structure and strong points that Jose Raymond has that is who immediately came into my head when i looked at your physique...You're looking good man i'll be following along and seeing you transform into an even better beast

This was very useful information for me as I do experience short temper before test-e levels even out when I am cycling and I wanted to add tren on my next run but will need to be extremely cautious. I would love for you to document, from your very subjective perspective, how your mood is once tren kicks in.

So, I'm one week in starting today and so far no issues. My Gyno has not yet returned and I'm faithfully taking the Nolva and Ralox along with Anastrole to keep things in check. It took me several months to get rid of that so I don't want to go thru that again. I'm still leaning out and dropping bodyfat. You can now see my abs thru my shirt when I'm working out which is pretty cool. Strength is starting to go up. I did 700lbs on the leg press today which for me is good since I have a fake hip and the other one on its way out. Vascularity is pretty insane as I have veins popping out EVERYWHERE. My wife thinks it's so gross but tough for her. haha

I'm feeling good and no anxiety as of yet to report. Horny like crazy which is to be expected these first few weeks. Other than that nothing much else to report. I will post updated pictures next week to track my progress. I took some this week already for my own comparison and can def. see fat going away.

[PistolPete33]

Here is an updated photo from today. One week in and fat is already disappearing.

[Renagd1973]

Hi there I'm just a new guy here but I'm very impressed and this is what I want to look like. I don't have a lot of me time between work then commuting home then picking up kids then dinner then bed and back to work at 330 in the morning. So as you can see not much me time to improve my health. I will be following you and hope to learn a lot from you.

[PistolPete33]

Thanks, I appreciate it. It's been a long road of ups and downs but things are falling into place. Make the commitment to yourself and find the 4 hours per week to get to the gym and train. It truly is a short amount of time for your health. By doing this I truly believe you become a better parent and husband. Figure out what you want to look like and train, eat, and supplement to achieve those goals.

[PistolPete33]

Because of a business trip I was only able to hit the gym 4 days this week. I've been training 5 days/week but not a big deal. This will give me 3 days rest which will be good for me. On the business trip I've been really good. Still eating healthy as we've been really lucky with great chicken and carved steak etc. Diet has been very good and seeing small changes almost daily now. Next week I'm going to add the Winny in so I will see how I do with that compound.

[tarmyg]

Looking great, keep up the good work.

Do you have fat gathering on your lower back? Asking because that is the first place I get it and last place to go

[bartman314]

go, pp, go!

nurse those hips, bro.

[bartman314]

hey... what do you know. just realized i'm a productive member. :-)

[PistolPete33]

No, the only place I have it now is lower abs and obliques. Going to up cardio and see if that gets rid of it

[PistolPete33]

So, yesterday I had a big F-Up which wasn't cool. I was getting ready to take my Liquid Nolva and Ralox and ended up taking .80mg of Prami at around 2pm. I thought I was going to pay big-time as I never took such a high dose esp. during the day. I was praying I wouldn't start puking and dry heaving but thank god I didn't. It did make me crazy ass tired though and almost like I was hit with a tranquilizer dart.

I was also able to sit by the pool for an hour or so over the past 2 days and my tan is coming in really nice. Already starting to darken up from the MT2 which is awesome. By the beginning of July I will be DARK.

My workout tonight was pretty solid. Strength is slowly starting to climb which I was expecting and I'm expecting to see some good strength gains within the next week or so. I hit bis, tris, and abs and the pumps I had were almost unbearable. Not really a test that things are working but something to report. I ate a bit crappy today while I was camping and drank 2 sodas. Not the end of the world as I've been mostly eating very clean.

Being back from my business trip and camping will allow me to stay even more on track.

Hey dude, just wondering does the melonotan make you nauseous like pt-141?

[PistolPete33]

Hey dude, just wondering does the melonotan make you nauseous like pt-141?

It def. can but for me it doesn't. Just taper your dosage to get used to it. Luckily for me I have a pretty strong stomach and I never throw up EVER!!!! MT2 is awesome stuff. I took it last summer and I was darker than most hispanics.

That's insane. My wife is a tanning addict. I am concerned about skin cancers down the road ?

Great post PP and thank you for the updates. I just want to ask a few questions.. Did you have a diet plan in place prior to starting this cycle and if so what did it look like? How long was it since you last cycled prior to starting this one? What cardio have you been doing and for how long/how many days?

You are looking good by the way man, keep up the good work and good luck...

PP, does Tren really act that fast?? Shit, just ordered some deca but I'd planned on picking up some ace too... For after the deca... On a cutter(kinda - if I eat clean bf should fall w/it while gaining too)...

Look very good(can't wait till that Tren is in wk 6 lol... You'll be strong and ripped perfect LOL

I do have a diet in place. It's quite simple actually. This is "typically" what I eat on an average day. Sometimes my training is at different times so my preworkout meal times vary.

Meal 1: Oatmeal, whey shake
Meal 2: *usually pre-workout and an hour so after first meal- Whole grain peanut butter sandwich (works for me but others prob. think it sucks but Peanut Butter is a great source of fat and protein) Banana, apple and preworkout drink *Hemovol, Stimul8, and creatine
Meal 3: Post workout whey shake
Meal 4: Lunch *usually 20min or so after post workout shake- Entire Rotisserie chicken without the skin, sweat potato or brown rice and veggies
Meal 5: Before work dinner (typically around 3:30) usually steak and or brown rice or sweat potato or grilled chicken
Meal 6: After work meal which is usually pretty light. This meal varies all the time.

My last cycle was over the winter as I try to do 2 blasts per year while also on TRT the remainder of the year. Cardio has been super light at only 10min at the end of my workouts.

[PistolPete33]

I'll post some new pics up in a little while. Progress has been just OK. I know it's still super early in this blast but I'm going to make a few tweaks. I need to increase my cardio. I bought an eliptical machine so I just need to put that together. I will try hitting that fasted in the morning for 20 min or so. I'm still hitting the gym 5 days per week and my workouts are getting a bit longer. I drink a BCAA drink during my workouts but not sure if it really helps but since my workouts are typically an hour and 20min or so (off cycle I'm in and out under 1 hour) I figure it can't hurt.

Strength this week has been the same but veins are popping nicely. I had a small monkey wrench thrown into the mix as I noticed my Stealth Masteron Prop is actually Primobolon. I've been using another brand Masteron Prop and I have enough for another 5 or so weeks. I reached out to my supplier to see if they will send me the right product. I will post another thread about Primo as it's very similar to Masteron but with a longer ester.

[PistolPete33]

OK, here are a few pics from today. Not great quality but it gets the point across. Also, I wanted to note that no issues so far with being on Tren as far as moodiness goes. I've been on Zoloft for 2 months now and it seems to be either counter-balancing the Tren, the Tren hasn't truly kicked in yet, or that I'm just being smart at 200mg/week. Either way I'm happy about this.

[PistolPete33]

So, i've been on the Tren Ace for about 2 weeks now and not having any issues emotionally and not angry at all. It's either too soon to tell, the Zoloft is counter-acting it and doing its job, and/or I just know that 200mg/week is the sweet spot for me. I will monitor this VERY closely and I "may" bump the Tren up a TINY bit next week for the next 2 weeks and see how I react. I know at 400mg/week I've gotten pretty nasty but I'm curious how I will be at 250-300mg/week.

Also, no issues with my Gyno returning which obviously is VERY important. I also got the issue with my Masteron and Primo sorted out with my source and they just reshipped the Masteron so looks like I get an extra stash of Primo that I can use for next summer.

I've also been eating super clean this week and seeing some changes. I'm getting compliments from tons of people at my gym and at my business.

[jolter604]

Man sounds good Pete, good luck on the 400 mg I will be back to see you're progress.

[PistolPete33]

So far the only negative sides I've been having are the night sweats. Been sleeping so hard but I think that is due to the Prami. Not getting any nausea from it and I've been slowly increasing dosage every few nights.

Still no Gyno flare up which is super important. Adding the Nolva on cycle I think has been key. I also decided to bump up my Tren for the next few weeks and see how I handle it. I only went up to 300mg/week but I'm confident I will be fine. As of right now I feel amazing both mentally and physically. I worked out 7 days straight and it felt awesome. Taking 2 days off and getting back to things tomorrow. The fat is really starting to melt away and I'm getting compliments every where I go. At the gym people are stopping me every workout asking what I've been doing for routine and diet

My abs are really popping and I sometimes wear compression shirts to the gym and I've had several women comment how I have great abs and that they can see thru my shirt. This will be my most productive cycle thus far

[PistolPete33]

I wanted to update this post again with some new pics. So far everything has been going great. No moodiness or anything to report. Fat is def. going away and everything seems to be coming together nicely.


Here are the new pics from today:

[PistolPete33]

I woke up a little moody today but feel fine now. So far with the Tren I've been totally fine and not anxious or angry at all. It's usually around week 3 that I start becoming an angry bitch but so far so good. Training has been good even though I'm prob. doing too much. Been training 5-6 days per week lifting and 2-3 days per week doing BJJ. I'm only doing cardio during BJJ.

Anyways, I'm seeing changes almost daily at this point. Yesterday I started taking the Winny and so far no negative sides. I upped my NAC for Liver support and will monitor how my joints feel and if they get too sore I will stop taking it.

Other than that everything has been great so far besides the fact that my libido is completely out of control and all I do during the day is look at porn. haha

[tarmyg]

At what point did you see significant strength increases with Tren?

[PistolPete33]

I actually haven't yet to be totally honest. I think though because I'm in a calorie deficit my strength hasn't much improved

[PistolPete33]

So, I wanted to update this since I haven't in a few days. Since upping my Tren to 300mg/week I've still felt perfectly fine. The Zoloft is obviously keeping me level headed which I'm happy about. Debating about bumping up to 400mg. next week and ride it out till the end.

I've been training BJJ again which has been tough. Working out twice per day is tough for sure but I love Jiu Jitsu so I'm going to continue with it. Being on Tren is def. impacting my cardio in a negative way which totally makes training more difficult. Lifting has been consistent as well and overall I feel mostly good.

I've been on the Whinny now for about a week and today is the first day I've noticed any joint discomfort. I'm thinking it could just be that I'm training so much now and just not giving my body enough rest. When my summer cut is done I will focus more on Jiu Jitsu and less on the gym. I will need to find a balance but right now my goals are already set in stone so I'm not going off track.

[PistolPete33]

So, these past 2 days haven't been good at all. My left hip is absolutely killing me to the point in not going to train today at all. I'm not sure if it is the Winny or just my last glute injection of test Prop. I'm hoping I just injected high and that's what the issue is. If not then I will prob stop taking the Winny in a few days if it doesn't clear up. I'm still taking NPP and besides this issue things have been good

[Mr.BB]

Where exactly does it hurt in your hip and what movements?

[PistolPete33]

Where exactly does it hurt in your hip and what movements?

It's better today but the pain was just all over the entire area. Like a constant toothache pain. I'm thinking I prob aggravated it doing Jiu Jitsu

[PistolPete33]

Everything is coming along really well. Leaning out quite a bit and I think I look great right now. I'm getting tons of compliments from people and the ladies are def. looking in my direction whenever I'm at the pool. Lifts are about the same as far as strength goes which I'm kind of shocked with but I'm sure it's because I'm eating way less.

I'm darkening up as well which is good and I'm on vacation next week so I will be REALLY dark from sitting out. I will post some pics on Thursday of my progress.

[PistolPete33]

Here are some updated pictures from today. I've lost a lot of fat and def. leaned out quite a bit. I'm excited to see how things change over the next 5 or so weeks.
