Fair comment from one perspective.
Firstly those are my photo's, why would I waste time faking something, for what?? To fool myself? I've got better things to do with my time.
I've never had a problem with bodyfat or gaining weight with beer. Mate....I should look like an elephant now but I've always had around 11% bodyfat (measured at a gym 20 years ago but it still looks the same to me now. If anyone has a good eye and can tell from the photo's I'd love to hear what they think my BF% is 9-13%?
As for training properly.... NO problem. I go hard and go for it! I rarely feel weak after my first set.
Estrogen levels.... well I'm not sure what will happen when I add test to my next cycle. I can only record the results of my D'bol cycle and the PCT.
Short changing myself - For sure! 100% I know I could do much better if I didn't drink but I hardly think I'm denying the world of the next Lee Haney or Jay Cutler.
This is the life I've chosen and made for myself and I wake up every day thinking how lucky I am. I like my beer and I'm not an asshole or a wife beater. I'm a happy dude enjoying a fantastic life and lifestyle.
It's 6.30pm here in Thailand and I've had 9 beers (Beer chang 6.4%). Do I sound or am I typing like a drunken idiot? I drink slow and steady from 12 noon. Not some binge drinking Ahole who would drink what I do in 3 hours and start a fight. I also drink almost the same amount of water as I do beer (when i've stopped drinking the beer so I pee a lot but would you also think I was lying if I told you that I've not worked my abs for 6 weeks. Its true! ( Starting up again tomorrow).
That said (phew...feel better now). I do plan to go beer free on my next cycle because I'm really entering unchartered territory. And I realise the danger of mixing 17aa's with alcohol. Whatever... I'll post my 2nd Cycle log so it's out there for reference purposes.
Perfectbeast. Man your photo is awesome and I'm a long way from looking like you. If it takes me a few years longer because I like my beer then so be it.
So perfectbeast, let's shake hands and make up right here, right now. We're all working to the same goal. To look fkin awesome.
In the words of the great Bob Dylan "Keep on keepin on"
