MSF's 2012 Summer Cut

[MrSaturatedFat]

Lets take a look at what I'm carrying in the gym bag.

My really really old belt my Father gave me, he told me its way older than me lol (27yrs)

some Inzer knee wraps, wrist wraps, wrist straps, sweat bands for my wrists, my old forearm thing I haven't used in probably 3 years lol. And an extra pair of headphones.

_______________________________________________________

I think its a basic setup. But I've trained by myself for years now so I dont know what other people carry. Simple is better I think.

Tuesday morning fasted LARD walk today around the neighborhood (45mins)

About 7 hours later I decided to hit the bag. 8 rounds, 3 mins each. I got some more pumps in my arms, all good signs of the Var I hope.

_______________________________________

I went out to trivia last night w/ friends at a pizza cafe. This was probably the toughest time I've had during the cut. I think it was mostly the smell.. but watching everyone dig in with no concern for calories/carbs/etc helped me through it lol. I think in the game that we're in, we all take a bit of pride in our self control and discipline, I know I do. So not giving in to the food last night helped remind me of my goals. I know I'll need a cheat sometime soon, but I just wanted to look back at this point and remember where my mind was.

Way to stay strong. It's the price we pay but in the end, they all want what we have. Reward yourself though. You deserve it.

Nothing tastes as good as being shredded feels.

[-Had a few days I missed there. Everything still went great, I had a few dates, but I still ate clean. Chicken salad and shit, nothing bad.-]

Another update on the BP. I'm glad tren isn't raising it up. I'm already thinking about running 600mg of Tren E next go around.

Today is an off day, but yesterday was one of the best squat sessions I've ever had.

Squats

95 x 10
135 x 10
185 x 10
225 x 10
275 x 6
315 x 10 (Shattered my old 315 PR by 5 reps)
340 x 5 (da fuck did I just do!?)

For me, this was a gigantic leap forward in strength. Never have I gotten this strong, this fast, and on a calorie deficit. People always talk about how god-like Tren is, well I can certainly attest to that now lol.

If you've never taken tren, and are reading this hoping maybe to get a better idea. This is my best advise so far, 39 days into it: Tren will get you extremely fucking strong... you will notice from training session to training session. Not only that, you will also loose body fat. Now granted, I am actively trying to loose fat, but this is the leanest, biggest, and strongest I've been in my life. DONT skip out on blood work. Tren has my lipids the worst I've ever seen them, and I wasn't on any orals. Kinda makes me regret putting Var in, but I want to see what my body can take.

Start low, and work your way up. The only negative side effects I've experienced are night sweats. Obtain caber or prami before you start. My prolactin did not get way out of range, I did not experience any hyperprolactinemia side effects, but I cannot say you wont. So better to be safe than sorry. And just your day to day life all seem to get better. You just feel awesome throughout the entire day. My quality of life has gone way up since starting the cycle.

This is definitely an amazing, powerful compound. Take it very seriously.

________________________________________________________

Anyway, lol, the rest of my session consisted of seated leg curls, and hip abductor work. 5 sets of each. I wanted to only do 3 movements, because I just got my new Title Gloves in the mail.

and wanted to have a good heavy bag session with 'em. So I went 8 rounds, 3 mins each, 1 min off.

This Wednesday will be my week 7 mark. I love getting so damn strong, but I know I will need to kick up the cardio with only 3 weeks left of Tren.

 

[msumuscle]

How's your weiner workin?

 

[MrSaturatedFat]

PROGRESS PICS!

I just got home from work and decided to take some pics. Yesterday was a no carb day, so can I use the 'flat' excuse? lolol For real though, I feel amazing looking at these pics. I have never looked like this in my entire life. Already this has been truly amazing experience, and I still have 30 days to go for my 10 week mark. I might even go 12 weeks.

Anyway, Its Sunday.. my gym is closed, my ass is still sore from squats, and its raining, lol. So I'm just gonna hit the heavy bag today. Also, 2nd dose of Caber was this morning. 2 more doses before I run more blood work.

How's your weiner workin?

hey man lol, Yeah absolutely no problems. Libido was sky high at the beginning of the cycle when Test was higher than Tren. Then I'd say a week or 2 after raising the Tren libido was back to normal. My guess is because my Prolactin tripled in that time. But I've got 2 doses of caber on the way, so I'll pay more attention and see if it makes a difference. No problems getting hard though.

 

[RockShawn]

DUDE!! awesome progress. That's an awesome 40 days right there. You are kickin ass and it shows. Great log, you really should be proud of yourself.

You've been a big help through all this... even though your prepping for a show you still find time to post comments and keep me on track.

Thanks Shawn.

Thanks Shawn.

I'm telling you bro, This stuff motivates me more than anything. I love seeing guys do what they set out to. Achieve those goals and stay dedicated. It keeps me doing the same. It's all accountability and if I didn't have it, I'd be screwed.

 

[Goldenera]

Great progress bro! U are looking great!

So is all you do for shoulders seated military press? Shoulders look great if that all u do.

 

[Miss Springsteen]

Wow your progress is amazing! Nice shoulders! Great job MSF, keep killing it!

Haha TMI? I just ask because I'm using the same dose of tren you are but my tren's lower and my libido's in the shitter!

 

[MrSaturatedFat]

Thanks man. I don't just do seated presses, but they are and have been a major staple in my shoulder routine. I'll usually start with them so I can go heavy, but I do plenty of other assistance shoulder work.

front/side/rear dumbbell raises (seated and standing)
seated/standing shurgs
EZ curl bar front raises
rear pec deck
cable flys
hammer strength military press

I dont do all these in 1 workout. I pick 3 maybe 4 and just go hard on them, with very high intensity. I think thats key, rather than doing 8 different shoulder exercises in 1 workout.

Wow your progress is amazing! Nice shoulders! Great job MSF, keep killing it!

Thanks Miss Springsteen. I think my shoulders are my best part. Although I wish it was my chest lol. I'm still pretty excited seeing this progress happen. This must be what you feel like too. Pretty cool huh? My friends and coworkers cant relate to stuff like this. That's why I genuinely enjoy interacting on here with people who have the same mind set. Thank you for following.

Haha TMI? I just ask because I'm using the same dose of tren you are but my tren's lower and my libido's in the shitter!

Damn that sucks bro. You might be sensitive to Trens prolactin interaction. Whats your test/tren ratio? If your taking caber I know that helps because I've read plenty of places that say low prolactin in men leads to a higher sex drive. Buy hey, you're still getting results, right?

 

[msumuscle]

75/50 tren/test ED I'm using .5 mg Caber 2x/wk. Definitely getting crazy strength gains, I expected a little more size but I guess that's because I'm eating just under maintenance so I'm not putting on as much size.

 

[MrSaturatedFat]

damnnnnn I love this stuff! lol. Yesterday was off day, so I had a very low carb day. Only sources were almonds and broccoli. No carbs this morning for breakfast either. Today was back day and I'm still moving weight.

Seated cable rows

170 x 12
180 x 12
190 x 10

Hammer strength under hand lat pull downs

70 (each side) x 15
80 x 12
90 x 12

Dumbbell rows

80 x 12
100 x 12
130 x 10
140 x 10
160 x 8 (PR)

Dust was flying everywhere moving those 160's around lol. I go to an older gym and those don't get touched very much. Felt fucking awesome moving 'em though. Makes me want to bulk on test/tren so bad lol, but I'm already more than half way through this cut, so I need to lock down cardio. I'll be hitting the bag later this afternoon, or walking around the park (45mins)

It really is amazing watching myself get leaner and stronger almost by the day. Lock that diet in though guys (and girls, miss springsteen) And go after it!! Feels like a fucking freight train on fire!

 

[RockShawn]

Great job bro! You're doing awesome. 160 db rows for 8. Fantastic!!

 

[MrSaturatedFat]

Just an all cardio day. I did a 45 mins fasted walk this morning, and in about 2 hours I'll go a few rounds on the heavy bag. I looked at my calendar and saw July was pretty close lol.

I would like to share with you a little routine I've been doing for the past 7 weeks. How I prep my broccoli for 3 days. My buddy always buys frozen, and feels like he has lot of time to eat it, because its frozen, but ends up not eating that much at all. I think buying fresh is better because it forces me to each it quick before it goes bad.

Depending on the size, I usually pick about 10-12 heads and chop them all up

This is the most important part. As soon as your broccoli is done, you have to cool it down immediately. This keeps the color nice and dark green, and keeps it from turning that brownish yellow color. I learned this tip from Evan Centopani in his youtube vids, and it works great.

Each container lasts me 1 day. I found 3 days worth of fresh broccoli is perfect. I stretch it to 4 days if I have to, but I don't like it.

I know this seems pretty plain and boring, but its what I do. Besides, I gotta keep this journal fresh! lol

 

[RockShawn]

I'm gonna try that out. Been buying frozen myself. I would rather do fresh though. How are you heating it?

 

[MrSaturatedFat]

I just put it right on the plate next to the chicken. It stays a little more moist if you put a paper towel over it in the microwave. But either way doesn't bother me, the broccoli will get pretty hot though cause the chicken takes longer to heat up.

 

[MrSaturatedFat]

I think it's safe to say my BP is, and will remain stable throughout the rest of the cycle, which is only 4 more weeks maybe (only 2 on tren) This is great news after reading that thread about some guys having trouble with BP on cycle.

I'm really gonna try and kick up the cardio for the next 3 or 4 weeks. I'm not sure when Ill recheck my body fat, I'll see how this goes. I started this morning with 20 mins HIIT, followed by 25 mins LIT. I'll probably hit the heavy bag later this evening too. Its gonna be hard not to move those weights around, but Its only for a few weeks, and I really want to burn more fat.

 

[MrSaturatedFat]

Day off today. I can tell I needed it, I felt very fatigued all day... might be the low carb, but hopefully the day off helps. I had my last meal at 5pm tonight and will be fasting. I have my blood work appointment tomorrow morning @ 7:30am. I haven't touched a weight in 3 days, so hopefully my numbers will be more accurate. We'll see how I look 8 weeks in this cycle, and 4 weeks into 90mg Var ED.

Also, a change in my adex source. We'll see if I'm bunk 2 for 2 lol.

Stay tuned for updated blood work.

 

[RockShawn]

Rest is good bro. Don't be afraid to take some time off the gym and listen to your body!!

 

[MrSaturatedFat]

BLOOD WORK! 8 weeks in.

I had to edit the crap outta both reports so we can get a good side by side. Sorry for the size.

Lets see, where to start...

-ALT AST back to normal ranges? did not expect that lol. Very happy though, maybe upping my fish oil/milk thistle/Liv.52 did help out.

-Cholesterol, HDL and LDL all within a 4 point difference combined! Is this where I top out on these compounds/dosage? that's not much movement at all in 4 weeks time. I just wish that LDL wasn't so damn high lol.

-Well what can I say about my E2... fuuuuuuuuck lol. I'm 2 sponsors in, both obviously bunk. Once I found out my 1st adex was crap(@ 4 weeks in), I switched, and my protocol was 2mg adex ED for 13 days, then 1mg adex ED 'till this blood draw. I would think that much adex would do something, but not even a dent :/ I have 1 more sponsors adex so I'll be on that for the remainder of the cycle.

-Prolactin went nuts! lol. My protocol was .5mg Caber 1x/week. I only had 3 doses in before this blood draw! Very happy with that. I think I'll cut that dose down even lower to .25mg 1x/week. Save some of this expensive shit!

-FSH, LH, same ol' same ol'

-Testosterone; I was given some advise from panteracfh to pin 150mg Test P before my blood draw, so that's what I did (25 1/2 hrs after pin). I know there's no protocol for prop, but I'm happy with >1500.

 

[MrSaturatedFat]

I think those adds on the side shrink my pic even more. here it is again, hopefully its bigger

 

[RockShawn]

I think you should hit some letro to kill that e2. And switch to a-sin. My US pharma adex hasn't been very effective either. Are you on Tagamet or Avodart?

damn man I've never heard of either of those lol. Tell me what you think of this... my E2 is very high yes.. but I have 0 tenderness in my nipples, does this mean I'm not very gyno prone? I still think E2 that high does need treatment asap though.

With added test you will have more aromatization. Which in turn means more estrogen. Your body wants a balance. The two things I mentioned above can cause more aromatization. Adex right now is sketchy no matter where you get it. I'll pm you some more info.

 

[panteracfh]

Glad to see your lipids didn't get any worse with the var buddy. How do your arms not explode with 75mg tren + 90mg var ED! lol I'm only taking 60mg Var w/ trt test dose, tried throwing in 50mg tren EOD and the pumps were painful pretty much right away.

Awesome progress, very well laid out log and impressive dedication. Close this cycle out strong brotha!

 

[flynike]

Looks exactly like my fridge !! I just dont cook my broccoli , I eat it raw
