Felt great in the gym today, definately noticing some strength gains, but more then anything, intensity and stamina are through the roof. stepped on the scale again today weighing in at 198, started at 185... thats a total increase of 13 pounds in 15 days...granted most likely at least half is attributed to water, either way, feelin pretty solid... all my muscles feel fuller and harder already... just gotta keep hittin er hard! get the most i can outta this run.

are your weights in kilos or lbs?

[GitErDun]

are your weights in kilos or lbs?

They are in lbs but kilos would be nice! My lifts are all emphasized on perfect form. I could easily throw another 20-30 pounds on to most of my major lifts right now, but what i do is working for me, and the way i see it, form is more inportant than stacking the bar and lifting sloppily. I prefer to isolate the muscle group(s) for which an exercise is intended to work, and focus specifically on them. Sloppy lifting leads to minimal gains, and even more likely, injury, which will put you out of commision for who knows how long. But that being said to each his own.

[GitErDun]

DAY 17
Pathetic day today in the gym today, lack of sleep, and deffinately some soreness in shoulders and lats and arms from earlier in the week added to a terrible chest workout today. Non the less ill post it up. I might consider taking a day off tomorow for rest and recovery, but ill decide tomorow.

I also seem to be having a hard time targeting my chest as of late, my arms seem to be doing all the work, ive tried widening my grip, closing my grip, all kinds of shit, but it aint workin... starting to irritate me, if anyones got any suggestions maybe a diff. variation of exercises to try for a few weeks holler this way.

[GitErDun]

Water Retention! whats up guys, need a little help here. I hadnt even noticed, but i stopped by the parents for dinner tonight, first time theve seen me since i started the cycle, and my moms said im lookin really puffy, actually she said i looked twice the size as i did last time she saw me. Lookin at myself in the mirror i couldnt even tell, but now that she mentioned it, i know its true. My original plan was to run adex from beggining to end, but quite a few people suggested not to use an ai untill bloat became an issue, which now it appears to be. I wanna start it tonight, question is, how much should i take, for how long, and how long does its affects on bloat take hold???? Also, should i continue to run the dbol , or drop it at this point, im about 3 weeks in now???

thanks bros!!!

[GitErDun]

got my answer, gonna start adex tonight, 0.5 mg for a few days, followed by .25mg for the remainder of cycle.... gonna keep runnin the dbol considering theres only about a week left. thanks to BIG and and MULCIBER for the info.

Yeah bro I know it sucks to hear but War is right. You should have waited a long while before you started juicing. I firmly believe you should be able to get 225 for 10-15 reps for anyone that wants to juice. Anything less is just laziness. Think about... You have kids coming out of high school that are SCARED (I know a few too) of steroids that are doing 225 for like 10-15 reps. My advise to you would be after the cycle and PCT is to try to get your strength and and diet on point. At least get to a collegiate level of strength in all your basics for your height and weight IMO. Cycles IMO should only be utilized by the 100% dedicated and those that have maxed out their potential

Duely noted, i appreciate your input, but i made this decision. Your opinion, is just that, yours. I dont mean to come off like an ass, but i knew what i was getting into, i made sure i had all my bases covered, i chose to juice, and im going to make the most of it. Perhaps waiting untill i reached my natural limit would have been the best way to do things, but there is always more then one way to skin a cat... I for one can name a dozen people of the top of my head that chose to juice before reaching their natural limits. That is not by any means a justification, but rather a fact. To each his own, as long as you do things correctly, safely, and are well edjucated, thats the most important thing.

[Reed]

Your right my opinion was trying to instill work ethic in people, thats really the most important thing. Most kids I know do these cycles but yet still go out drink and party heavy on the weekend and they wonder way they don't have a quality physique. Maybe its a lack of dedication, proper nutrition and training. Which if you don't have those together than steroids won't do much and will be a waste of your money and health. We live in an age of instant gratification and laziness. Nobody wants to work hard and seriously focus themselves. People can go on and on about how dedicated they think they are and how hardcore they train but its truly show in the body of work thats put forth. And plus I thought you would have been a lot further than this if you had been training for six years. I'm not trying to jump on your ass just kicking the real deal to you. Good luck in your endeavor and if you really need any help in your training routine or diet just let me know.

I couldnt agree with you more! And i really appreciate the offer, i may be taking you up on that in the future. I myself partied, and drank my ass off for years, but those are behind me now. I plan on dedicating myself to this entirely. I was not even trying to disagree with your initial post at all, rather just try to express my logic as to why i chose to do this, as misinformed as it may seem. I have always been the type of person to try and rationalize everything i do to some extent, probubly to myself more then anyone, its just my nature, but as far as this goes, im making a whole hearted effort to be as dedicated as possible. I know you know what your talking about, and i respect your opinion, apologies if i came off like a smart ass.

[thetank]

i wont shake a finger, you know you could have done more before cycling..but anyways, man..why are you working with such high reps? seriously change your routine around. pyramid up to a 4-6 or 6-8 rep set and fail on it. from reading your log it looks more like a casual soccer dads work out not a guy on cycle. bump up your weights, lower your reps, and i should be seeing "failure" at the end of alot more of your sets.

[WARMachine]

^^^ Vaild point... Youre looking to increase strength and blow up.. High weight, lower reps...

Incline DB press... Incline flyes... Cable crossovers, and more heavier weight for benches....

That will F*** your chest up in no time.
