Day 4

Trained chest, bis, tris today. Gym was pretty much empty so got a free personal training session from one of the guys who works there. He absolutely killed me on the dips.

Recovery seems to have improved a bit but nothing significant to report yet.

I ran one cycle at 8-12mg. I think 16 might be alittle high man. G'luck with the cycle though. You're goals like VERY acheivable.






New goal for 2005, 190lbs @ 7% bf

Not trying to sound the pessimist here, but based on your targets, you want to drop 5lbs of fat while adding 7lbs of LBM. I'm not sure i see you dropping the fat on over 3000kcals over three weeks.

But good luck in trying all the same. This'll work more as a recomp which is a good thing.

3000 cals is about maintanence for me do you think it would be worth aiming for a bit lower than that?

Your maintenance level is 17kcals/lb BW?

Jesus H. Christ on a moped driving through Brixton in a KKK outfit. You must have some badass partitioning. You musta really let yourself slip to get up to 14-15%!

If that is true what you say, then just ignore me and go for it.

You won't add 7lbs of LBM, but you'll hit your target weight. The goal looks realistic to me.

Beer, pizza and xmas is what helped to get me to 14-15%

He wants to hit the target weight, but also reduce his bodyfat by 3-4%. That is what is not realistic in three weeks. At least not on MDien.

I don't know much about Scumderland really, other than they're all tramps.

There are about 7-8 really bad parts of Newcastle. I live in and around 4 of them.

I'm saying he'll drop the fat, and hit the target weight (but with mostly water). It's up to him wether or not he builds the muscle.

Scumderland - You must be a newcastle fan

Be interesting so see if Bellamy is still on your books by the end of the day. I hear he just turned down the offer from the Brummies

Day 7

After feeling pretty good yesterday things kind of went down hill last night woke up feeling rough as hell this morning. I feel the likely hood of me chucking today is fairly high. I don't think the Mdien has anything to do with it but i do not feel well at all

If you have alot of drainage, sinus pressure and an iffy stomache.. that's a common symptom with MD and M1-t. Lower the dosage.

Yeah stomach is iffy, and i got a nice headache no sinus problems tho

Ill see how i feel by the end of the day if im still rough il drop it to 8mg. It seems a bit pointless being on cycle if i cant eat anything

With MD and M1t, I don't see any positive results until at least 18 days into the cycle. But the neusia and sinus effects hit me within the first day.

So that's another reason i'm on my last cycle. A cycle to me, means at least a month of feeling like I have the flu. And I still force myself to eat 4000cals

I'd rather have fun
