Second cycle with PICS

[Alex Rodriguez]

yea maybe, however my last cycle i used lower volume and still gained very well

ive been uping my volume slowly according to how i recover atm

atm my volume looks like this

chest 9 sets
lats 4 sets
inner back 4 sets
traps 3 sets
calves 3 sets
legs 7 compund sets, 4 isolation sets
front shoulder 4 sets
middle delt 3 sets
rear delt 3 sets
tricep 7 sets (might bump this up to 8)

biceps ANYTHING, 9 sets atm since i just cant seem to get them growing

im pretty happy with my volume atm

only bodyparts im strugging with atm is 'inner back' since my biceps tend to give way before it does

rear delts coming along slowly,

triceps again slowly

everything else is great, so i dont really wanna change the volume since its working well for them

as i said biceps are the major issue atm, since der screwing up my inner back workouts

true true u r gaining good but i have a gut feeling if ur on cycle, u could handle 100-120 set per week especially since ur body already probably has a very good recovery period naturally since ur very strong, and especially since ur on cycle u do that, and u could very easily experience some truly magical freakish gains, like be benching 460 at the end of the cycle i think the whole hoopla belief that over "overtraining is real easy to do" is a lil out of control

[bigmark91]

yes, i dropped the tren and raised my test to 800mg weekly

ive increased my calories today sinc eleg day i beleiev is the hardest so im going to need alot of calories,

as for recovery, my bodys is recovering GREAT, only thing im dissapointed about atm is my back isnt recovering the best from 2 days ago workout, its still SORE as HELL

hoping this extra day of calories will help it out

as for my biceps, they feel almost good as new from yesterdays 10 set workout, which is amazing

looking forward to training shoulders and tricep tomorow

yeah iw ent up here in syd. Fuk it was good on pingas the whole day. Whats ur PCT for this like?? U runnin an AI or HCG?

heard their were alot of sniffer dogs in sydney? we got lucky and their wasnt any, so we flew the whole day


my PCT is just nolvadex , 4 weeks like my first cycle

naaa im not running any AI atm, so im bloated like crazy

no HCG either since my first cycle i found my testies dropped back down within the first week

i wont be doing PCT though till about week 15 or 16, after my 10 week cycle im gonna bridge on 250mg test for 5 weeks so i can enjoy the summer more and not have to deal with PCT, plus my misses gets back from overseas then and i wanna enjoy sometime with her and not have erection problems becuase of PCT,

plan on doing PCT when i go back to uni in febuary

[stevey_6t9]

yeh tons of dogs. just hid em in a water balloon in our mouths. Your pretty crazy with your bridging, I wudnt have the balls. U mite need somefin else more then nolva for PCT.

yeah its a good idea. n if u get caught u can just swallow them. supposely they dont digest in your stomach so u wont die if u got heeps. Im suprised you melbournian underbelly people didnt know about that lol.

lol nps mate, frontloading is just doubling ur dosage sdo theirs no wait time for ur testerone to kick in

however i didnt frontload properly, and their has been about a 3 week delay for the test to kick in, which still isnt bad, and i increased the test dosage from 400mg to 800mg at end of week 2, so ive still got 2-3 more weeks before the test peaks

im following this post

Great log. Your shoulders are looking massive.

If you are having bloating issues, 50 mg per day of winstrol will take care of that problem, I think it would be a great addition to your cycle, especially since you dropped the tren.

thanks mate, i was thinking of extening my cycle from 12 to 14 weeks and adding in winstrol in the last 4 weeks to give me a better appearance

but ill see how i go, atm this cycle is still planned for 12 weeks
