Not bloated
Looking damn lean
I was hoping I’d bulk up some but I’m about week 3 and it’s too early for me to know how this will go.
Nice rest day, kept carbs less than half for the day, tomorrow I start eating again.
On days that I eat more carbs I feel more empty or light the next morning and not full, kinda strange feeling.
Here are todays meals

Gotta love some sweet potato

I like the ground turkey idea I might try that
bro good that you're getting red meat I like it
APPROVED LOG
I sure did, fork tender medium.
I grilled them with olive oil lightly brushed on them, they are really good.
Amazing update dude......
More cardio and better food and I feel awesome.
N2guard daily, will be taking both on and off cycle going forward, small price to pay to Mai town better health.
Makes all the difference and thank you personally for suggesting eq some time back over teen. I’d like to work hard in this current space before I even consider a full tren cycle.
Yes check my log running npp test eq
Your log is awesome, back workouts are amazing.
Now I want to add no, gotta wait until next time.
When did you notice the eq? I feel like I notice more stamina but then again I’m doing cardio, so maybe both at this point. You look lean , very nice work.
Great way to look at it
Pretty good chest, not sure why incline is getting stronger than flat though.
Meals pretty good, carb hungry today for some reason. More spinach tomorrow, my favorite fiber.
Weights: felt pretty good, maybe had an extra set or two but I had it done.
Tomorrow is legs, I'm off to bed soon after a fruit shake. Have a great night

Do any of you guys take deload weeks during cycle? Im on a 4 week meso with a planned 4 th week deload, bad idea on cycle and best to use the pads to blaze though all 12+ weeks? I built out my next program of 6 weeks already and want to know how to bridge the deload week to the new program.
I never plan a deload. I only deload when my body tells me too.
It's not - yet - 35lbs more on flat
Mobster, so what happens if my upper become stronger than lower? Disproportionate development?
bro i don't deload ever
Oh you know your body better than anybody
the problem on cycle is that steroids can increase the chance of injury
APPROVED LOG
Thanks guys, in the past I just burn myself out, poor diet, too much volume etc. I think I’m good to push on for another program of six weeks. Will deload if I start feeling burned out physically, maybe a week 9 reload then hammer to the finish, currently slated at 12 week cycle. But I keep reading 14-16, but eq keeps going for 2 weeks after last dosage.
Todays leg session completed, upper back cramp between shoulders won't go away though.
Here are todays meals:
Todays weights which felt pretty good, squats to parallel on a wedge, felt about right.
I was gassed by the time I hit the sumos. about 1:03 to complete it all, the heavier squats I wait 2-3 minutes before lifting again, too long or just right on that?
Tomorrow is a water fast day and I actually look forward to these days for two reason, one my body cleanses and feels great on Thursday and the second reason I feel very calm by 12pm with no food, just some black coffee and lots of lemon water. By far one of the best things I have learned since being a member of this community.
I plan to break fast Thursday with eggs, avocado and some oatmeal but will start things off with some fruit and watermelon.
Have a great night guys

You’re doing great with the food
What about weights?
I can do the volume, diet is everything, strength, recovery, stamina diet is key, more so than I ever knew. Cardio has improved everything across the board for me, its amazing.
Deloads are definitely important. It is just a part of the bigger picture of "listening and understanding your body".
Thanks man, I want to keep that strength growing with front squats. The front squat is making my regular squat more controllable and powerful.
The split squat is amongst my favorite but difficult still, just need more time on it.
You sure you haven't tweaked the nerve bundle there? I have in the pass
two to three minutes is fine
I've seen some guys wait even four or five minutes
I've seen some guys wait even four or five minutes
it's a good idea to let your muscles and soft tissues rest for a couple minutes between sets
especially if you're going heavy

bro i take sometimes 20 seconds
but I'm crazy you know that

No nerve damage, I lift to the amount that I can maximally move to failure with strict form. Foam roll vastis medialius, quads calves to break up knots and adhesions. Front squats have made me stronger, I’m hoping to be at 135+ down the road, you can’t cheat with these, either you squat straight down with erect spine or you can’t do it properly. The hayfields are on the drawing board for down the road those look intense.

Last year when I joined I thought I was Ronnie Coleman, 6x a week, egg whites and shakes only, crap diet oh and no rest between sets, I gained very little and deservedly so.
I have found 2-3 minutes between the heavier squats and some quad stretching in between has been helpful.
Man I love this forum for confirmation and lots of correction as I learn more about my body and what works for it, great community.
Thanks for the great feedback
I had some weird anxiety a week back for a few days water fast removed that, I think it was from the eq, nothing intense just noticeable, back to normal now.
I look forward to the fast, my body feels really good every time I do this. Post cycle id like to try twice a week or a two day water fast every other week.
The weights are good but I think you u could do a little more and start more progressive overload
Progressive overload on heavy days correct?
Maintaining the lighter high rep days as endurance and strength days correct?
Something like 235 bench set 1, 240 set 2, 245 set 3 with reps dropping obviously.
I think I understand the concept but not sure how to implement it, any links or articles I could follow?
I would just keep increasing the weight each week. If u follow my log can see how much I have increased in the last 12 weeks. Some weeks I increase reps from 8-10 and other weeks I might increase the weight by as much as 30 lbs. Usually I increase 3-5% each week.
So it’s kinda like mine on the heavy days and I’m more hypertrophic focused on my Thursday and Friday.
I bump weights on average 5lbs a week where I can if my body feels good. I think I need to bump weight more for heavy sets, then I will be overloaded each week for heavy, for higher rep days would weight need to increase or stay about the same?

tricep rope push downs PUSH it
Hi repping what?
I’ll need to find a playground, I have a pull up bar in the garage.
When I arrive at 225 that would be flat bench, a goal, not quite there slow and steady is my pace. I’m getting close to 200 though.
