Posted by: katt

You're going to have somewhat of a weight reduction, you know.. how are you feeling being off the Halodrol? Our last order of Anavar never arrived.....

burned... I think it must have gotten confiscated somewhere along the line.. that's the first time it's happened to us..

Posted by: Brutus_G

Gonna run for 3 miles and walk 1.

Ok two weeks left till i can cut. Im not gonna run ECA because i always gain back what i lost and get depressed. Im gonna stay away from PHs for a while they are ineffective and underdosed. I gained a whooping 5 pounds of muscle since my first PH cycle a gain of 5 pounds over this time frame is sad. If i do run something again its gonna be a cycle of test or superdrol. My plan for the cut is to up lower carbs in a carb cycle fashion.

Well still its never enough brother Jh thats one thing about AAS and PH they can cause depression and such thats my worst side effect. I'm very up and down so dont mind me when i say such things I'm just feeling like shit and it'll go away.

Its just a belief i have no carbs in the last two meals reduces fat storage. I use the wheat kind id avoid corn also be careful to avoid those with soy and trans fat/hydrogenated oils. My cut is gonna start in 2 weeks from this Friday.

Posted by: the other half

keep it cool, and good luck with the next two weeks till your cut.
i would be eating like it is going out of style, but you are smarter than that.

PCT (post cycle therapy)- The use of drugs to increase low testosterone levels brought on by prolonged use of AAS or PHs. These drugs usually block estrogen and increase LH which signals the balls to produce more test. It usually lasts 3-5 weeks and it often sucks since your lifts go down and you lose some muscle.

Albuterol- A stimulant used by bodybuilders mostly to increase metabolism and for fat burning. It often raises the metabolism by 10% and gives you a load of energy. A decrease in hunger often follows intake. Albuterol makes you get stronger by activating the CNS and causes a small anabolic effect with some added muscle. This drug is often confused as a steroid. It legit use is as asthma medication

I guess it just depends how long it takes to get to 185???? I wouldn't think it would be 6-8- weeks though... I agree with Goob,, are you a little concerned about it?

Ok here's my stats of current weight 180.4 bf%=9 lean mass is 164.16 a new all time high! Ive been eating like crazy but didnt gain 1 pound in 2 weeks...oh well ill up the cals again.

Goals-for myself
*get to 185

*never ever give up
*stay happy and positive

yesterdays workout- chest and triceps-

dips
40X7 PR! up 1 rep and 2.5 pounds
40X6
40X4+3 negatives bad idea so early on

incline bench wide grip
185X2 i couldve gotten 4 but i wanted to be in the 8-6 rep range
165X7
165X6
165X5 this is bad 185X8 shouldve have been doable i think the negative dips hurt me oh well.

DB over head extensions
80X8 pr
80X7
80X7

tricep Decline bench DB extensions
25X12 pr
25X11
25X11

OK this was that good shit! I'm reducing volume on my chest and back to allow my arms some extra volume with the idea being they'll catch up. So currently I'm emphasizing arms, shoulders, and traps everything else will grow some but not at the rate of those muscle. Any tips or advice on what i need to improve will be greatly appreciated.

you are NUTS doing the dips first in your workout.

Your weights are amazing these days.

Do you not find that running 5 days takes some of your workout energy away, and wrecks your legs?

Posted by: DOMS

Great job on the PR, Brutus! I need to get my ass moving.

Posted by: the other half

i tried to explode my forearms today also. i tried the rev curl with bb, but i felt it to much in my elbow(pain), so that was the end of the story.

when you do those, do you wrap your thumb around or do you keep it on top with your fingers?
