19 week progress pics

[abbot138]

First pic is from March 15, second two were taken yesterday (July 27). Sorry for the shiiitty pic quality, my digi camera sucks so I used my phone.....Before pics Im at 173 about 12.5%BF, after Im at 179 about 7%. Didnt quite get to where I wanted to be with this cut, but I got close.....Still a long way to go, but Im finally on the right track....Now its time to grow. Special thanks to Nark and Pinnacle for diet help, and to my man Duk for moral support, lol.

[passthetest]

good job... what did you run/how long?

[abbot138]

TRT patient, so Im always on 200mg Cyp/week. Bulked for 7 weeks, 6 of these using injectable winny (100mg eod), yes I said I bulked with winny And then been cutting for the past 12, the last 6 of those I ran clen, T3 and winny tabs (75mg/ed). And yeah, my liver is doing fine, just had blood work done last week. And I still have a big old Italian afro, lol. TONS of Liv52, NAC, and Milk Thistle, and nizoral 2% for my wig.....was ALLLLL about diet tho.

Thanks brotha, its funny you posted, I was thinking you and I have similar muscle structure, your much more vascular than I am. But as far as having the longer pec muscles and trap development.

[NS]

very good work, very impressive

[thetank]

[stpete]

Solid bro, very nice.

[TJM7275]

Bulk slowly bro.. no need to hold water....choo know what I'm saying

[GT2]

Dude you're looking shredded and in great shape, congrats!
A little more attention to the chest and you would look THAT much better, just my 2 cents bro.

[abbot138]

Yup, your 100% right. Ive always had problems with side and lower pec area, I have oddly shaped chest muscles to begin with and it also seems to be the last place I burn fat. Its all good, lots of decline and dips, it'll get there....Thanks for the compliment and constructive criticism, much appreciated!

[abbot138]

Yessir, you know it. I use LBM for all my ratios cutting or bulking. I will probably start somewhere around 3700. I bulk pretty easily due to the TRT, so I might not even need any other aas to hit my goals. Gonna max myself out with just the TRT cyp dose before doing anything. Whatever happens, Im not going above 13-14% BF. I have a treadmill at home, so I can pretty much control my weight and BF when needed, up or down.

fck!!! you look sick bro. fcking sick!! your traps look like bowling balls sticking out your neck. great job man. a huge difference. so much more mass and a shitload leaner. great job. im still working on my new diet. you know ill be hitting you up for advice.

[abbot138]

Anytime brotha....and thanks man. Its crazy I look at my old pic, and I know that at that time I thought I was in good shape, now I look at it and its pathetic. And Im sure that as I progress in my development I will eventually feel the same way about these pics. Nice to see hard work pay off. Let me know when your ready to crack down on diet....Ill be bulking right along with ya.

Dude is that ur normal dosage - im on TRT and my dose is sus100 every 2 weeks.

[abbot138]

Yeah, it only puts my test level at about 850 too. Im guessing I was born with abnormally low test levels and just never knew it....Did 2 cycles long time ago, with decent PCT, and Im sure they contriubuted to my low levels, but they werent shiiittty to the point that they alone caused my levels to be below normal (I was at about 200 before TRT).

[Skully44420]

damn bro nice gains!!...you are fvckin ripped for sure...good job man

[ottomaddox]

Are you using an AI with your TRT program?

[bigt10]

dude your jacked, 12.5 % i would think not.

what did you measure your BF% with that seems about right?????

Sorry whats your trt does again.

age, height and how long have you trained for?

lol how long have u been on hrt in your before pic you dont look like a guy with low T levels :P did you go on it for that or did u mess up a cycle etc?

Just curious but amazing work dude.

excuse me sorry about my previous post didnt get this part.

how many mg a week are you using?

and i guess on hrt you dont need to even do pct right?

just again how old are you and how long you been training. what did u do for bf % tests i would say both are right on the money!

[warchild]

great job bro. how old are you?

[FireGuy]

That is a huge change Abbot and you looked pretty damn good to begin with. If your wheels and back are up to par with the the pics you have posted you better be getting your feet wet at a local level show soon.

[sam_sneed]

Great improvements there abbot in a short amount of time. Props!

You look MUCH MUCH thicker now especially shoulders/traps.

Actually I use a formula, which I know most people hate and yeah its not 100% accurate, but the trainers at my gym are retarded and cant do a caliper test so its the best I have right now, here is the link http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-f...at-formula.php ....200mg Cyp a week for TRT, no AI, get bloodwork done every 10 weeks, Estrogen levels are perfect, test levels are perfect, no need for PCT. I also take HCG the 2 days prior to my test injection to keep my balls from shrinking and to keep whatever natural test i have left flowing....Training for 5 years, but only 3 of those did I even have half a clue, and I've really made more progress in the past year then the previous 4 combined. 5'10", 179lb, 27 years old, which I know is real early to start TRT, but what can you do, I needed it. Its depressing to think that Im going to be taking a shot a week for the next 40-50 years or whatever, but it beats being tired, depressed, having no sex drive, and not making any gains in the gym.

Legs are thin right now bc Im cutting but excellent derfinition (prob only about 23 inches at the moment). I know I need to put some size on them before competing, which is why Im doing a long bulk before I prep for competing next Spring. Back looks excellent. Reason for no pics of either is that I am a hairy SOB (Greek and Italian) and I just wasnt in the mood to do a full body shave. Plus I got no GF at the moment, and no one to shave my back (poor me) and waxing makes me break out like mofo...So theres explaining that. But yeah Im going for it man, big bulk here, going no higher than 13%BF and then its contest prep time. Pretty excited. Im gonna hire Nark to do some 3 month out contest prep coaching....Thanks for the high sodium tip man, It def gave me a harder look, not to mention made my food taste better Where do you keep your sodium at when you arent in contest prep mode?

ill shave your back for ya when i come down next weekend. lol. just dont go getting all attached to me. i got enough bitches blowing my phone up. haha

high sodium huh? damn im so far behind on diet info. its killin me. i gotta get cracking and do some research.

[abbot138]

Thanks all for the kind words. Nice to see the hard work and discipline paying off. Definatley not done yet though. Much much more work to be done.

Thats so fvckin funny you said that, im shaving this morning and I look at my back and Im like, God damn I gotta find someone to shave this shiiit before Duk gets down here, or else you wont have to worry about looking small bc my shirt will stay on the whole fvckin weekend, lol....I cant find a girl that I can tolerate long enough to reach the point in the realtionship where I can say, "hey baby, you wanna shave my back for me." LOL! Yeah, the high sodium is kind of controversial, I know afew peeps on here do it. As long as water intake is high, up around 2 gallons or more a day, and you dont have high blood pressure or a history of it in your family, you'll be fine. You do bloat a bit for 2-3 days,, but after your body adjust to it, it will give you a harder look. That ones compleiments of Fireguy

damn you a ****ing diced man, great work
