Hello. Yea, I stayed outta here for a while cause I didn't want to get caught in the crossfire. Things are going very well. I've been missing a lot of workouts just due to the nature of what's going on over here. However, I am still seeing gains. I'm down to very solid 225lbs right now and probably a 36" waist. Coming in to country I was around 240+ with a 40-42 inch waiste. I was already cutting down when I started this cycle but have can say that the cycle really pushed me to the next level. I was probably at a bench max of around 285 when I started and am easily at 315 right now (probably more if I went for it). I am putting together an in depth work out summary that shows the sets and reps I started with and where I am at now. I did 5 sets of 5 yesterday and ended with 275 for 5. I kept going up and I was surprised as I was successful with every set. I think I have a little over 2 weeks left on this cycle and am going to do my best to stay on my routine. If I was back home and on this, I have no doubt my gains would be huge. running the AD for 12 weeks has been the key factor in cutting the fat IMO. The appetie suppression and the aversion to bad food has helped. I think I'm at a plateu right now with the weight loss though, I've been at 224-225 for a couple weeks now. My abs are flat and the 6 pack is almost where I want it (just have the small ring on the lowers I want to cut) and I feel much better about my vacation to the beach in SEP. I look good and feel really good. Going to hit the PCT for at leat 4 weeks then run another cycle. Still debating how I'm going to set it all up with my vaction and then trip home from afghan not too long after.
I really want to Run the AL combo, but now I don't know what I want to stack it with. I love what the Mass has done for me and love the appetite bennies from Drive. I also have a bottle of Hard just sitting in my room un opened. Too many choices.
