    New routine will go as follows:
    Day 1: Shoulders, Traps, Bi's, Abs (maybe 30 min cardio)
    Day2: Legs
    Day 3: cardio 45 min. fasted in the a.m. (low intensity)
    Day4: Chest, Tri's, Abs
    Day 5: Back, 30 min. cardio
    Day 6: cardio 45 min. fasted in the a.m. (low intensity)
    Repeat
    I feel like my shoulders need a little bit more recovery time and hope this routine will have the necessary adjustments to make that happen.
    Did shoulders yesterday:
    Seated dbl. presses: 80x10 (1 min rest) 90x10 (1 min rest) 100x5 (those 100's are horrible to get in postition, probably wasted 2 reps worth of energy)
    Standing Milt: 3 working sets, last set drop set
    Seated laterals: 2 working sets with forced reps and negatives, 1 set of cable laterals beyond failure with negatives
    Rear delt raises: same as above
    Shrugs: 1 warm-up, 3 working sets, last set double drop set

    Today is a rest day besides my 45 min fasted cardio so I figured it would be a great time to share a little story. My brother and I are doing the same cycle and its funny that we respond very differently to aas. He is sensitive to alot of things that I am not and he has recently developed gyno. We were prepared in that I grabbed some Letro during cycle planning "just in case". I guess the moral of my story is that you need to be prepared for such things when cycling and expect the unexpected because you never know! He has done many cycles that include some hefty dosages and knows his body pretty well so this came as a big suprise to him. Chest and Tri's tomorrow.

    Weighed in at 205 this a.m. Decided to scrap the idea of carb cycling for my bulk. The days that I am supposed to take in an additional 1000 calories are just too much for me and I will just stick with an accurate 500 over tdee. Did back yesterday:
    Weighted chins: bodyweight x 12, 20 x 10, 30 x 7 (1 min rest)
    Bent over rows: 225x10, 250x8, 275x8(1 min rest)
    Close grip pulldowns: 3 working sets (1 min rest, don't remember poundages)
    One arm dumbell rows: 90X8, 100x8, 100x6 (1 min rest)
    Close to Tbol time!!!!!!
    Stiff arm pulldown to front: 3 working sets (1 min rest)
    Traps:
    Shrugs supersetted with dbl shrugs: 4 working sets, last set triple drop set. All sets try to hold weight for 2 count.

    Starting to experience a bit of fatigue despite changing things around a bit. I am in week 8 right now of my planned 12 week cycle. I was originally going to start Tbol in week 11 but will run it week 9 right up until Pct.

    Did legs yesterday and it appears that the every other day training regime has worked this week. I will be starting Tbol saturday. I think I will start with 30 mgs. a day for the first week and adjust accordingly. I had kind of a lazy week and my reasoning was to rest up to try and finish the rest of the cycle balls to the wall. I have found HIT style training very addictive but draining as well. Whenever I do straight sets I feel lazy like I should be doing more. All in all this has been a great cycle and have gone from 187 lbs. to 204 lbs.

    Into week 9 and weighing 208, up 21 pounds from the start of cycle. I was going to cap it off at 10 weeks but now that I have scaled my training volume back a bit, I feel I am recovering ok and will continue with the planned 12 weeks. I like the Tbol at 50 mgs. a day, seems to be allowing me better workouts which is all I can ask for.
    Crushed back last night along with abs and rear delts.

    Into week 10 and cardio is tough! Did a 3.5 mile run on the road (first time in a while, usually do cardio indoors) and the leg pumps were insane, had to take a few breaks and walk which was pretty disappointing. I got through the run but it wasn't pretty. In some ways I can't wait to get off cycle so my cardio can start to return to normal.

    Now that the power is back and I am starting week 11, I will be training in a solid HIT style manner just as I did at the beginning of the cycle as a sort of last hurrah attempt at the cycle. When I can, I will be splitting up my muscle groups into two workouts per day (this will only be practical half of the week) when possible to try and give each muscle group enough attention. Will be starting a course of HGH beginning on the first day of PCT.

    Here is a week 11 photo. Up 21 pounds. I can't wait to shed a little flub-a-dub that I think has come on later in the cycle. This is mostly due to doing half the amount of cardio that I planned on. This is common for me due to the massive thigh pumps and shin problems I get on-cycle.

    Thanks for the kind words bro. The fat calipers haven't really budged and I have really tried to keep my bulk as clean as possible (holidays/birthdays have been the exception) which I think has helped. I am very curious to see how the numbers are going to play out after Pct.

    Now that I am getting to wrap up the cycle so to speak, I have made a few a few determinations. I love tren E in the range of 350 mgs. while using Tes E @ 350 mgs. Great cycle (for me anyway) with minimum sides. I will be running the cycle for 12 weeks and the only reason I didn't cut it at 10 was because I wanted to use the gear up and not have any open vials hanging around (not that it's a big deal, just the way I am). I don't think it is absolutely imperative Tren E is run for 12 weeks as I haven't made any real gains past week 8. Next time I will plan it for 10 weeks and call it a day.

    Flat Bench: 135x12, 225x8, 275x8, 315x4 with negative, 300x7 rest pause 1 more rep, 275x10 drop 225x12 with 1 neg.
    Incline barbell: 225x9,1 min rest 225x7, 1 min rest 205x10
    Incline flyes; 3 sets 50x8-12 (1 min rest all sets to failure)

    Triceps:
    Nose breakers: 3 working sets (1 min rest)
    Seated tricep extensions with Ez bar: 3 working sets (1 min rest)
    Rope pushdowns: 3 working sets to failure ( 1 min rest)

    Here are a few pictures in my final week on this cycle. My wife and I still haven't mastered taking pictures but you get the idea. I will be starting my first HGH cycle which will start a week before Pct and continue for 6 months. I would like to give a thousand thank you's to Marcus 300 and St.Pete who both helped me throughout the entire cycle and always answered my never ending questions. I thank everyone for reading and commenting on my cycle results and hope it may have even helped some of you. Thanks again guys, see you in the summer for the next round!

    Thanks bro, Haven't heard from you in a while, hope all is well. Getting ready to jump on HGH. I will be starting it during Pct and running it for 6-8 months. Loved this cycle, hate to get off of it. Felt like my birthday everyday.

    Thanks bro, I have to say training HIT style really brought alot of lagging bodyparts up to snuff. I think adding HIT style training was just as important as the cycle itself to achieve results.
