My grow season log - first bulk in years

[Livinlean]

Whenever I get sick on cycle I start thinking like that, but it's always just a cold or whatever....

Love Anadrol , never ran more than 75mg.

Hope you feel better soon!

Are you recovered? What's progress like?

I got hit with the nastiest flu ever - first time with a flu/cold in years. Sprinkle on an ear infection to boot. I'm down 25 lbs since Valentine's day. Appetite is zero.

I ended up coming down with a stomach flu. Felt very similar to food poisoning. I swear, the orals made my digestive tract weaker or something... or at least it felt that way.

I lost 15lbs in 5 days. Went from 225 down to 211 and now I'm at 217. A lot healthier at this weight and can actually move around. I started fasted cardio, nothing crazy, just 25 minutes 5 times a week. I'm still filling out the same shirts so it really just seems like I lost the added bloat. Strength is still progressing up even after dropping lantus and anadrol. I am still keeping humalog pre workout but only at 5iu.

It also turns out that my shoulder was worse than expected. I had multiple injuries on my right side that were masking my partially torn rotator, supraspinatus (dont know if i spelt that right lol). So now I am just starting to incorporate shoulder days but on those days I just do active rehab work in hopes of soon being able to do a proper workout.

The BPC157 didn't seem to make a huge difference. I am now running 1mg in the AM to see what a bigger dose would do. I may entertain the thought of trying this again but next time with BPC and TB500 if I don't heal properly here.

Man thats a crazy amount of weight to drop in that 2 week span. Hope you're feeling better

Back to about 90%. Appetite just going to take some time to come back slowly over the next week or so.

Ordering from Inno this week to try our Monster Plex.

[Livinlean]

Current AM weight: 209lbs.

So 9 days ago I was 217, since then I started fasted cardio at 25 mins, upped it to 30 mins this week.

My goal while I rehab this shoulder is to get some insulin sensitivity back. I've dropped my anadrol and humalog altogether. I dropped humalog because it wouldn't make sense to run it while trying to get sensitivity back. As for anadrol, id rather save it for when I have my cycle going at 100%.

Also added EQ at 600mg this Monday, I intended to add this at the start but held off as I wasn't sure how I felt about shooting a combined 10cc's a week but its not too bad. Also added 20mg anavar just for healing purposes.

Diet has changed as well. Hovering at the 4100 calorie mark and I am tightening up very nicely. Staying at 5k calories for an extended period really helped with this part. Diet below.


Meal 1
3 eggs
4 oz chicken
2 slices white bread
1 avocado

Meal 2 (poke bowl)
6oz tuna ahi
150g white rice
1/2 cup edamame
Corn, carrots, cucumber, pickled ginger, imitation crab
1/2 avocado
1 tbsp spicy mayo

Meal 3
8oz chicken
150g white rice
1/2 cup beans
2 tbsp chipotle mayo

Owning a restaurant and meal prep company definitely allows me to be spoiled when it comes to my diet lol.

Please keep us updated on the monster-plex! Im having issues with orals zapping my hunger so I would consider trying it out if you don't face any appetite suppression related issues

Never believed in roid rage . Turned into a raging lunatic while I was in the gym.

I can't even explain the androgen load on this concoction. Won't know about appetite suppression until a few more days.

[Windex]

No appetite change but I'm also on 75mg of THC / day plus 25mg MK677.

[Windex]

Still no appetite change from the Monster Plex but I did go back to splitting MK677 into AM and PM and have notified a big surge in my appetite

Sent you a PM to inbox.

[Livinlean]

Just realized I forgot to post this but just over 2 weeks ago I stopped all upper body training altogether to help my shoulder heal. At that time I also decided to decrease my calories since I was switching to training 3 days a week which consisted of strictly legs.

Yesterday was my first day back hitting upper body and I chose to do back, today was chest. My supraspinatus felt fine although I still don't think I could do an over head press nor do I intend to attempt it too soon (unless I do a really light weight). The odd thing was that my front delt felt very weak but I felt it more so in the area of my bicep tendons. Sent over a text to my physiotherapist and he had a rehab routine over to me shortly and it seemed to help. Seems like I am at the point of now working through the pain to an extent.

My gear has stayed the same through this corona virus thing as I do have pretty much a full gym set up at home. 1000mg test, 1000mg deca , 600mg EQ. I decided not to lower my dose because it was just about to fully start kicking in and since I have equipment at my disposal, why bother.

My goal here is to do sets of 10 on each exercise and go as heavy as possible. I got to 225 bench for 10 with slow controlled negatives. 105 dumbbells for 8 slow controlled. Nothing crazy in terms of weight but a great step in the right direction. Feeling super motivated now to get everything back on track.

[Livinlean]

As stated above, I changed my diet to lower the calories due to less output.

I made choices like removing my tuna ahi bowl because 1) its not cheap 2) it was a great protein to freeze with this corona virus going around. The fact that I can thaw and eat is great so I froze about 8lbs and will order more once my deep freeze comes in.

New diet puts me at just under 3200 cals. 234 carb, 124 fat, 274 protein. Once my body starts craving more food, I will sub out my shake for a real meal. Once I need even more food after that, I will add a shake to start my day since I can conveniently make that before leaving my home for the day.

Choosing to hold off on intra workout drinks for now. I really only like them while using insulin .

Meal 1
3 eggs
4 oz chicken
2 slices cobs high fibre white bread
1 avocado

Meal 2
8oz chicken
150g white rice
1/2 cup beans
2 tbsp chipotle mayo
2 tbsp sour cream

Meal 3 (pre workout shake)
1.5 scoops isolate
1/2 banana
2 tbsp natural PB

Meal 4
8oz chicken thighs
150g white rice
1 tbsp coconut oil

Meal 5
8oz lean ground beef
8oz sweet potato

I stopped on Day 6 due to the gym closures. Saving the rest for when gym reopens. I had no change in appetite however between THC/CBD, Injectable B12, and MK677 my appetite is always high.

[Livinlean]

The new diet coupled with training regularly has me leaning out really nicely. I am down to 208 morning weight.

I just got my slingshot in the mail today just in time for bench press. I thought the stress relief off my shoulder would be helpful.

I am down 5lbs in about a week but filling out my shirts just fine. At this rate, I will be back on insulin and some sort of oral in about a week. I don't have a goal weight before doing this, more so about what I look like in the mirror. Increasing insulin sensitivity is the goal as stated earlier so I am looking at my fat deposits. Almost have my full 6 pack in however I am still holding a tiny bit of lower back fat. Looking like 10 weeks out right now so I will wait until I am about 8 week out shape and get the ball rolling.

I wont bother posting my lifts right now. I am logging them but I am doing a 4 second negative, no hold, 1 second explosion and 2 second flex to ensure proper engagement of all muscle during this "rehab" phase. Things are going really well and I am excited about the strength I have already regained in my shoulder... I can shoulder press 55s again but the only trick is I can not go full range of motion otherwise I get a pinching pain in my rotator so I need to go just below 90 so that I get no pain. It'll take time to work through this but that is to be expected.

Hopefully that shoulder is back in business quickly

Yes, 70mg 3X per day. Only for 10 days though

[i_SLAM_cougars]

Assuming your Tren base is dosed at 70mg/ml?

Mines dosed at 50, and the most I ever did at one time as 200mg just as an experiment. I’m pretty sure my blood ran cold for the next 6 hours.

This should be a fun 10 days. Lucky you live in the cold. You try doing like that here in July when it’s 90 degrees and your body starts excreting sweat with the consistency of bacon grease. It’s... different.

[Livinlean]

Morning weight: 209lbs

Yesterday I decided I would transition to a lean bulk. I added an intra shake of 50g carbs (2 scoops clusterbomb by redcon). Today I will also add 2 scoops of isolate protein post workout followed by my regular meal. These two additions bring my calories to 3617 with 288 carb, 126 fat and 326 protein.

Also added in 50mg anadrol taken pre workout as well as 7-10iu humalog pre workout.

Shoulder rebab is going great. I am able to do a lot of movements that I could not before. I can dumbbell shoulder press 45s, anything heavier gives me a pinching feeling but I seem to be able to do 5lbs more each day. I can also lateral raise without any pain. I'm not sure if the addition of anavar had any effect, it seems too soon as I've only added it 3 weeks ago and at 20mg but whatever it is, im happy to finally be able to lift like normal. Now it's time to regain my strength.

Yuck does not sound fun. I'm half african and hate the heat. If I got the Tren sweats everyone talks about I'd toss it. Instead I get night tremors and my resting heart rate / pulse goes bananas.

Dosed at 100mg/mL, brewed with Lidocaine so no pip. I'm considering repeating 50mg 3x as that's what I did before. Still lots of time to decide. I like the idea of a big dose, no ester, and prime the body for growth.

I seem to have found my happy place at 400mg per week. No side effects/good results. Sometimes I add in another 50mg or so, but it’s in base form pre workout. I sweat more during workouts, but that’s about it

I forget where I heard it - maybe on this board or on a podcast but a great quote "You don't choose the gear, it chooses you."

Me: 1gram Tren no problems. Winstrol ? Forget it. Test at anything barely above HRT - body gives me the middle finger.

Yes sir, it is syn dosed at 10mg per tab so I take 2 tabs. Plan on running it for another 4-6 weeks or so. I'm not sure if its making a difference but i'm not willing to go off and find out that it was.

That cycle looks wicked man!

I think I will be playing around with EQ as well. Im at 600 but intend on increasing that when I lower or drop my deca but I need to go through this log and jot down start dates for my compounds so I can come up with a plan. My next potential pro qualifier got moved from July to Aug so that gives me 16.5 or so weeks. I get lean fairly fast so I'm thinking I have about 5-7 weeks of bulking ahead of me here as long as I can keep it tight (visible abs)

Just ordered myself some injectable dbol and superdrol. The next one I will be trying is that monsterplex you posted... Seems interesting for sure.

[Livinlean]

So at this point I have been on:
EQ for 5 weeks
Test and deca for 10 weeks

I won't be tampering with these dosages. Instead I will run this for another 6.5 weeks which will take me to 10 weeks out. At that point I will drop the deca and wait two weeks before adding in tren A. That's if this show actually happens but I'm thinking I will have a pretty good idea at around the 10 week out mark of whether a show is a possibility or not... Right now I highly doubt it but I also don't want to regret not being able to do it because I'm "too fat".

This is keeping me in check for my bulk as well. We all know its easier to pack on quality muscle when insulin sensitivity is in check and considering I will still be consuming a minimum of 3800 calories (and ramping up), I'll be in a pretty good spot to pack on lean tissue.

I will post my updated diet later including my humalog plan which I started 3-4 days ago.

[Livinlean]

Current diet:
Meal 1
3 duck eggs
250g potato
2 scoops vegan protein in a veggie smoothie with spinach, red peppers, carrots and cucumbers

Meal 2
8oz chicken
150g white rice
1/2 cup beans
2 tbsp chipotle mayo
2 tbsp sour cream

Meal 3 (pre workout shake)
1.5 scoops isolate
1/2 banana
2 tbsp natural PB

60mins pre workout 3.5iu pharm HGH
15mins pre workout 10iu humalog

Intra workout shake:
1 cup pomegranate
2 scoops carb powder (cluster bomb)
5g Leucine, 5g creatine, 10g glutamine

Meal 5 (post workout shake)
2 cups egg whites
1 cup blueberries
30g carbs from oats or cream of rice

Meal 5
8oz chicken thighs
150g white rice
2 cups mixed veggies (bok choy, broccoli, cauliflower)

Meal 6
8oz lean ground beef
8oz sweet potato

4190 cals, 390 carb, 120 fat, 379 protein

This is my base diet but depending on the day, I am still hungry. As long as my abs stay in check I won't be shying away from snacks but I won't substitute one of these meals for sweets or cheats. The exception would be Saturday nights when I replace my beef meal with burgers or whatever cheat meal Im craving that week. I'll start posting my AM weigh ins here again as well as everything is once again on point and my body is near fully recovered. Also need to get some progress pictures taken but damn I'm a hairy beast right now lol

Cool log, following

[Livinlean]

AM weigh in: 209LB.

Even tho everyone around me tells me I'm getting bigger and thinks I'm doing a proper bulk, my weight stays the same all while looking leaner in the mirror. This pharm grade GH seems to be working wonders. I also think the fact that I am training upper body again may play a role in everyone thinking i'm bulking, I must have been deflated to some extent with that 3-4 weeks period I took off from upper body training.

Got in a pretty good back workout yesterday. Been really focusing on my form for pull ups and I feel a lot more lat engagement. I was never huge on assisted pull ups but I use them for a warm up before going body weight and it really helps me engage. Lats are my weak point currently as that is the feedback I received from the judges... I need wider lats alongside deeper abs.

Just finished up 30 minutes of fasted cardio on my rowing machine which is placed infront of my tv. Man was it tough for the first half, my back was so stiff... I haven't been sore like this in ages.

Initially I had my GH dose pre fasted cardio to help with fat loss. I have now switched it to pre workout to help pack on some more size. At some point If I can get my hands on more supply I will split the dose and take it before fasted cardio and again before my workout but considering I have enough to run 3.5iu per day, I will keep the dose to once daily for now until I can get closer to 4.5-5IU.

Welcome to the forum man! I just realized your first post was on this thread lol

[Ferenor]

Thank you. My road is a bit longer but I guess "we are all gonna make it brah" hahah

[Livinlean]

Am weigh in: 206.6lb.

Last night I ran out of beef so I subbed that meal out for 2 burgers, fries and soda. Somehow I'm down from my weigh in a couple days ago. I wasn't expecting or planning to drop weight with a 4200 calorie diet but with fasted cardio in place, I'm getting leaner while staying full and round. Too early to increase calories plus I usually cheat on Friday, Sat and Sunday nights anyways... At least 2 out of 3 of those dinners will be take out so if I make changes, it will be early next week.

Attaching a picture I took a couple days ago post workout. Haven't had the chance to trim and get full progress pics done but I plan on doing so within the next week here so I can better gauge my progress.
