[MASSIVEMONSTER]

Mak,
How come you have chosen to drop down in size? Any particular reason?

What was your top weight?

Mak,

I'm not competing anymore. The look I have now is highly marketable, whereas a bigger, freakier look is not. In order to do fitness modeling you need to be lean and tight with a good muscle, but not freaky muscle. That's what I wanted to accomplish, so that's why I dropped down. I was up to 260 lbs. during my last bulking cycle before my last show. I don't need to bulk anymore, so I'll just stay lean and add a little muscle here and there as I see I need it.

mak you look awesome man but you know that!!

when you say start the t3 when you metabolism has slowed do you mean it has slowed due to dieting so then you can hit up the t3?

did you taper off the clen as well?

did you need use any b12 with the t3 and clen dose?

Right. Your metabolism will slow down due to dieting. This usually happens around the 4th week. That's when you add T3 to continue burning the same amount of calories. I taper up on clen, but not down. It's not necessary. I didn't use any B 12.

I like your cycle bro, but 2mg/day is heavy. Do you not respond well to Adex? Or are you very gyno prone?

I don't have a problem with gyno. The reason for 2 mgs/day is because it was a short cycle and I needed to be able to assess changes quickly. When you're holding water, it's hard to see exactly what's going on. So I got rid of the water and then I could gauge my progress and make changes as I saw fit.

Here's my cycle and diet that I used for my photo shoot. I can't post it in the original thread due to board rules. It's in the gallery. Here's the link to it: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=451418

My cycle was as follows:

My cycle for this shoot was:

Weeks 1-9: duo test from UG Vet(prop and cyp blend) 750 mgs/wk

Weeks 1-9: EQ 1 G/wk

Weeks 2-7: Tren 470 mgs/wk, Weeks 8-9: Tren 700 mgs/wk

Weeks 2-5: Winstrol 470 mgs/wk, Weeks 6-9: Winstrol 700 mgs/wk

Weeks 5-7: Proviron 50 mgs/day, Weeks 8-9: 100 mgs/day

Weeks 1-7: Clen 140 mcgs/day

Weeks 1-9: T3 ramped up to 75 mcgs/day

Weeks 1-9: Arimidex 2 mgs/day

Weeks 1-9: Nolvadex 25 mgs/day

I'm going to post the diet that I started off with. Keep in mind that my diet changes as I go along. The body is dynamic and so the diet must follow.

Training days:

Meal 1-3/4 C. old fashioned oatmeal, 50 g of whey
Train and cardio
Meal 2-1/2 C. old fashioned oatmeal, 30 g of dextrose, 50 g of whey, 20 g of creatine, 600 mgs ALA. (You can replace the oatmeal and dextrose for 2 packs of sugar oatmeal, but I had a lot of dextrose that I got for free so I used that instead)
Meal 3-8 oz. chicken, 4 oz. yam, 1 T. natural peanut butter
Meal 4-Same as 3
Meal 5-8 oz. eye of round, 2 T. natural peanut butter
Second session of cardio...
Meal 6-8 oz. eye of round, 25 g of whey, 1 T. Flax oil, brocoli

Off Days:
Cardio
Meal 1-1/2 C. old fashioned oatmeal, 50 g of whey, 1 T. Flax oil
Meal 2-8 oz. chicken, 4 oz. yam, 1 T. natural peanut butter
Meal 3-Same as 2
Meal 4-Same as 2
Meal 5-8 oz. eye of round, 25 g of whey, 1 T. flax oil, brocoli
Second session of cardio
Meal 6-Same as 5

As time went along I dropped my carbs down until the only carbs I had were pre and post training. My calories were 2800. I don't have the exact figures in front of me, but I believe my protein was 325 grams, carbs about 170 grams, and fat was 63 grams for training days.

For non training the calories were the same as was protein, but the carbs were 120 grams, and fat was 79 grams.

That's the basic plan brothas! Enjoy! Keep in mind that diets have to be tailored to the individual. Just because this worked for me doesn't mean it will work for you. That's my disclaimer...

Looks great!
