Am weigh in: 218lbs.

Bloat is completely gone and im seeing way more of my abs than I expected on a 5000 cal diet. I have a full 6 pack from front view, not so much from side but I'm not trying to be ripped by any means. My mobility and flexibility is just about the same as when I am in the 205 range other than my right chest. I believe my right shoulder/rotator cuff injury is causing a severe lack of ROM in my chest. I have physio scheduled for next Monday to help things get resolved and in the meantime I am sticking to machine presses for the most part for chest (can't do flyes without pain) until this injury subsides.

I have now started my cruise. I will be using pharm grade test alongside pharm grade HGH. I was given both for free and I have enough on hand for my cruise portion. Not running anything crazy and am starting my HGH at 2iu but will increase to 3iu after a week or so.

Current cruise dosages:
Pharm Test E 50mg pre workout 5x week = 250mg weekly
Pharm HGH 2iu AM

After my cruise I will do a mass gaining/strength phase to kick off my contest prep as I try to pack on some more size before starting the cutting portion. In the meantime the goal is to maintain somewhere near my current weight (hopefully gain) while continuing with cardio and getting leaner/tighter to help with insulin resistance as I do intend to dose my slin quite high to start my blast in 4-6 weeks here.
