Cycle
weeks 1 thru 7 600 mg test e
Weeks 7 thru 14 800 mg test e
weeks 14 thru 20 1000 mg test e or keep at 800 (will see how sides are)
weeks 1 thru 19 600 mg EQ
weeks 3 thru 20 AI does based on sides

Was going to run d bol and deca mixed in the cycle but I am trying to do the right thing and add a compound at a time to see the effects.





I will start keeping track with legs starting tom Jan 23. Why wait so long to start my log? I have a wife and three kids. So I am very busy. I also work 10 hrs a day min roofing or building houses. So my time is very limited. With such long esters it should not matter. My nips started to get a little sensative today so I will start my AI.

I thought I was getting the flu. My stomach was aching all the time. Come to find out it goes away when I eat. For awile.... Not really digging the fact that after a half hour or so my stomach hurts so bad from hunger pains I feel sick. lol To bad I have to work, or I could really put on some weight@!

Sun Feb 12 start of week 6 . Weight started going back up View attachment 40211 I had to increase my carbs seems to be working. I feel much fuller and stronger. I seem to be having a few anger issues, didnt happen at all my last cycle. Could just be other factors or maybe a little anxiety from the EQ not sure. Nothing out of control just noticeable.

 

[Deja Vu]

Did lgs today. 2/15/12 really fcuked up my back doing squats. I can't even stay standing for very long. I;m going to try to move squats to third exercise to lighten the load on my back, try to pre exaust my legs. That or I can try the smith machine, which I dont want to do.


squats
225 x 10
275 x 8 This is where my back reall gave out. I stayed and did most of my workout but it was r, I could barely pick a 45 lb plate.

Leg press
14 plates x 15
16 plates x 15
18 plates x 15
20 plates x 15

Leg ext/ leg curl supersets

90 x 18
100 x17
110 x17
120 x 17

stading calf raise

140 x 20
160 x 20


Hurting my back really scared me. Never been hurt before, I want to be able to lift the rest of my life. So I will do much higher reps on squats and do them third or so in my workout.

Looking good man! You can try warming up your lower back first before squatting, head over to the leg extension as first exercise after and then go squatting.
No harm in squatting in smith btw! But thats a matter of opinion I guess.
I'd also run calves again on another day, can easily do it twice a week.

Keep it up!

I think pre exaust will really help take a load off my back. Been going on sundays while my wife does cardio. And doing standing calf raises, calf raises on the leg press, and calf raises with a bar across my knees sitting.
I have the calves of an 8 yr old boy! I really need to work them more.
