For the last couple of weeks ive been struggling bad with energy levels, i pretty much feel exhausted all the time and need to go to bed a couple hours after i wake up even when i get a good nights sleep. Now when i got my blood test back my iron levels were 9L with normal range being 11.6-31.3, could this be causing my lack of energy?

Abs, traps, delts are definitely a lot bigger. My thickness has gone through the roof as well. I haven't trained in my razorback singlet in a while because i feel uncomfortable wearing it with people there but i went late tonight and for the first time this cycle i could actually say "**** im getting pretty big", which is usually rare cause im the harshest critic on myself.

As for sides, only real noticeable side is the tren sweat, not as bad as last cycle but instead of my body sweating a lot ive noticed my hair is just drenched even if i nap for an hour only.

Gonna go check my bloodpressure and all that jazz this week. Donating blood next week.

This cycle has definitely kept my head kinda straight, as ive been really stressed after losing my job

[Buster Brown]

Nice log so far, will be checking in.

Notice ive been putting on a tiny bit of fat which is ok because at the moment im just eating whatever i want as long as i reach my protein / cal targets. Will start dieting in 2 and half weeks though when i start taking my stana.

[spiralkut]

Food

300g Chicken W 175 G Veg
1 shake W 1 cup oats, 1 banana, 2 TBS peanut butter, 30g protein
1 shake 30g protein

Thats all the food i had today ill explain why at the bottom.

Rope for middle back - 160lbs * 15


OK reason for food and only doing 1 body part.

The side effects have definitely gone up another gear this week especially for some in the last couple days. These include, feeling hot at night when trying to sleep, feeling thirsty all the time (tonights session i drank 2.5L water usually only drink 1.25L), Feeling out of energy (this would just be from the not being able to sleep part), but the worst 1 feeling extremely bloated all the time.

Now the feeling hot feeling thirsty etc is like yeah whatever they are sides your gonna get them ill get over it, but this bloated thing is clearly getting in the way of my training and my food consumption throughout the day, which in turn getting in the way of my progress. This i can't handle.

I felt all these sides on my last tren cycle except the bloating part, so im putting it down to either my dosage of 350MG last time was not enough to get this side effect and 500mg is, or its simply not the steroids doing this.

To combat these sides im gonna go to the shops tomorrow and load up on mersyndol to help me sleep, for the bloating I've read that drinking bi-carb soda can help release any gas buildup.

The bloating is a weird 1, I in now way look bloated but definitely feel it. After todays Chicken and veg when i woke up i felt as though i had just eaten a full meal 3-4 hours later, so yeah i dunno gonna go google it now to see what i find.

Apart from that all is good and loving it. Blood Pressure gets checked tomorrow so pretty interested to see how that's travelling along.

[spiralkut]

Update fixed bloating with de-gas tablets, BP is 150/82

[Fllifter]

Update fixed bloating with de-gas tablets, BP is 150/82

[spiralkut]

Changed my routine, now training quads and hams seperate days as I feel my hams are lacking so going to up the exercises on them and train them while fresh.

[Java Man]

Your bp isn't out of line for what youre running IMO. It won't hurt to try to bring it down a little but I don't know how you'd do that without beta blockers. Natural foods can't bring the systolic down 30 mmHg. your diastolic is ok.

I take low dose beta blockers when on and off cycle. Increase a little when on. Keeps me @ <140/90. That's the beginning of pre-HT but when running several aas compounds I can live with that.

[spiralkut]

Just get them from chemist?
Forgot to add started clen last Monday @ 40mcg
will up to 80mcg once I start my diet.

Got to say wish I split my hams and quads along time ago, that was easily the best and hardest hamy session ive ever had.

Really happy with my triceps session, my weights went up by 30lbs on each of the extension exercises. Weather its from a strength increase or its because I only did them after hamstrings im not sure.

Had the best Hammys session ive ever had today. Weight has also gone up i was 108.2 this afternoon tomorrow is the last day before i start my diet so ill either upload some pre-diet pics tomorrow night. Pretty happy with the size ive put on but i really wanted to hit that 110 mark.

[spiralkut]

Alright last day before the diet and ive made sure i got all my cravings out of my system. Eaten Maccas 3 times in the last 2 days with a kebab and pizza.

These are my pics i took today. Biggest change im hoping from this diet is probably for my back and shoulders to be defined, couldn't really give a shit about abs as im never topless.

[spiralkut]

2 pics that wouldn't upload yesterday

[spiralkut]

So 1 week through my diet, lost 6kg of water and my blood pressure is down to 120. Going to up my carbs this week a little though i only went to the gym 3 times this week was just way too tired all the time, dunno how the guys that compete do it for 4 weeks while working full time and going to the gym.

[AC1990]

stress can do a lot of things. so I would say yes

[spiralkut]

just over half way through my diet, have lost 8kg now. My goal was 5kg but changed that to 10kg or higher as i really wanna see how far i can push myself.

As for how i feel. The actual eating part of the diet is pretty easy the main problem i had was withdrawal symptoms from sugar (apparently i was addicted) without even knowing that entitled me to have migraines everyday for the first 2 weeks within 2 hours of waking up. Ive countered that by drinking a bottle of V8 juice every day and using the natural sugars from the pineapple, pear, orange etc.

In terms of how my body has changed, 2 days ago ive noticed my veins coming through in my shoulders, chest and quads without having to tense. If im doing bicep curls their is just veins sticking out everywhere in my shoulders, chest, neck area. My abs are also looking alot better.

My diet is still the same Chicken, Veg, Salad - Cheat meals Subway, Kellogs Muesli Flakes.

[SkinnyManJuice]

Abs look good for not caring

[spiralkut]

yeah always had abs cause i was always skinny.

[spiralkut]

So update now, got to the 10kg mark but I've decided to keep going for another couple weeks as i said last time just wanna see how far i can push myself and im really not missing junk food that much at all.

Attached are some pics and that i took this week. Got videos but not going to post them as i cant shade out my face.
