May 2010

Pics taken after almost year during which due to unfortunate circumstances my training and eating were poor in patches. I did the best I could considering the resources at my disposal (or lack of resources especially healthy and protein rich food) and leaned up at the end. Also took over a year off cycling.

I'm having issues attaching files, my storage space on ar-r might be full....

Skins getting real thin, legs are nice and vascular, good job.

**bjpennnn** · 01-19-2011, 09:04 PM

looken great man damn. The skin gets thinner with dieting correct?

**terraj** · 01-19-2011, 09:06 PM

awesome progress mate!

**mick86** · 01-20-2011, 10:32 AM

Thanks guys, unsure whats changed with my skin. I did take moduretic at 1 stage and that certainly dried me out, also recently I started running Letro to prevent and reverse early stage gyno. Not so surprisingly that to has given me a very dry look. Lastly I've been using Melanotan 2 but that's actually said to thicken the skin... lol

bulk cycle 5 (7 weeks)
t-bol 50mg pd 2 weeks
test p 525mg pw
deca 420mg pw
eq (questionable quality from a questionable source) 420mg pw
slin 15-25iu pd
PCT - Nolva, A-dex,
(HCG ran trough out 200 to 250 iu twice a week)

10 week break
just used
ghrp-6
cjc-1925
slin (occasionally)

bulk cycle 6 (6.5 weeks)
t-bol 50mg pd 2 weeks
test p 600mg pw
tren a 315mg to 385 pw (played with dose, norm try to keep things stable)
slin 15-25iu pd
(HCG ran trough out 200 to 250 iu twice a week)
(ran a-dex throughout)

peptides
ghrp-6
cjc-1925

then straight into dieting (6 weeks extended to 10ish due to gyno treatment)
test p 350mg pw
clen 80 - 140mcg pd
t3 - tapered up to 100mcg pd
anavar - 50mg some days
yohimvbine - (just at the end) 40mg pd

PCT - Nolva, A-dex,

(ran a-dex throughout switching to letro after gyno symptoms)

i aim for equal time off as on

usually gain 9-13kg in 6-7 weeks, i prime leading u to bulking. My results diminish in weeks beyond 6 or 7 so I typically stop the cycle when the gains slow.

**Tigershark** · 01-26-2011, 10:52 PM

Looking good. Trying to thicken up my wheels myself. You are doing awesome.

**parky123** · 01-30-2011, 05:43 PM

BEFORE

AFTER

HOLY SHIT !!!
i need diets and all the info you can on what you did... AMAZING !!!

**mperk** · 02-04-2011, 04:18 PM

Great info on the bulking cycle MIck - thanks.. must be the slin that makes it golden for you - what do you think? otherwise seems like a pretty average cycle. Great the way your body responds to it! props for the hard work!

**mick86** · 02-06-2011, 09:06 AM

No doubt the slin helps, but test and tren alone do wonders, i think the peptides also played a role this time round, at least in terms of joint health and lower bf% but suspect also in over all muscularity and the improvements in my chest/hamstrings. I hope that my my honest cycle descriptions are of some use to others

Mick, there's lots of variables from diet to genetics to training and gear, I really appreciate seeing how you fared and what results you got! Lots to learn there. Thanks, bro.

**warren916** · 02-16-2011, 01:45 AM

Wow mick you look great man! I even noticed your thinning hair problem seemed to cease after that cycle! What is your secret to keeping a head full of hair after going thru the stint of losing some?

On cycle:

Finasteride 1.25mg pd
Nizoral Shampoo
Spiro
Minoxidil with topical finasteride

Off cycle:

Finasteride 1mg pd
Minoxidil with retatonic acid

It's improved a fair deal and doesn't seem to be worsening these days, even while on cycle

**mick86** · 03-01-2011, 12:12 PM

Some rough early pics from my comp

Approx 83kg

1st Comp

Came 3rd out of 16 though did so suffering from pretty serious dehydration and or lack of oxygen. Had to actually go off stage at one point to drink some water in order to avoid passing out.
