PCT Day 19 - Chest & Triceps I was a bit under the weather the past 2 days. Rested up while nursing a headache and didn't stick to my diet at all - stuck with the PCT pills though. I weighed myself at the gym today and was around 191, down about 10 pounds since the cycle ended. Eh, not too...

thanks for the compliments cobra and brown. I think the results could have been much better if it wasn't for my damn cravings! And whoever's giving me extra karma, too, thanks! I noticed the karma went up a few thousand points, is there a way to check who gave it, so I can give some back...

Here's a 'better' comparison. The before pic here and from above were taken a few minutes apart, but the differences between the before and after here are much more noticeable and dramatic, imo!

PCT Day 15 - Rest Getting busier and busier at work as I anticipated a few weeks ago, no time for the gym today. Diet was horrible and included Pizza Hut and McDonalds. Next week and for the following month or so is going to be crazy hectic at work, gonna just have to take it day-by-day. I...

I took pics right at the end of the cycle, and honestly, they look almost identical to my before pics from Day 1. I think I look bigger in my before pics actually. It was kind of discouraging. I am 20 pounds heavier, and I think about the same body fat (15~17% - top 4 abs are still visible)...

PCT Day 14 - Shoulders Back on track with the diet. Had a few things today I wouldn't normally eat, but overall stuck with the plan. Blasted my shoulders at the gym. Before the cycle, the most I ever Dumbbell pressed was 80 pounds (each hand) for 3 sets of 6 reps. I put up 90's today! felt...

PCT Day 13 - Rest I tried to stay on track with my diet on this off day, but failed! I always start off the day with my diet in check, if I know I'm gonna train later on in the day, I'm extra motivated to eat clean. However, when I take off days from the gym, my diet goes out the window...

PCT Day 12 - Back & Biceps My buddy at the gym showed me a new technique for lat pulldowns to really target the lats for that 'wide' look. Instead of having a wider grip and leaning back while doing the exercise, use a bit narrower grip, don't arch the back, and bring the elbows almost inward...

PCT Day 11 - Chest, Delts The extra strength from Beastdrol and Helladrol is definitely gone, I don't think I will be able to increase on bench as easily anymore without increasing my calories, which I do not want to do - don't want to get any bigger or gain anymore weight. The big question...

PCT Day 10 - Cardio and Abs Biked to the gym and back home. At the gym did abs, only. Felt great, and my abs are still feeling sore right now (the following day) I haven't felt this sore in my abs in years, I definitely need to start incorporating an ab only day into my routine. Decline...

PCT Day 7 & 8 - Rest Been resting and took the past 2 days off from the gym, stuck with my diet for the most part, had a few cheats consisting mainly of extra carbs I wouldn't normally have. My weight has stayed the same, right around 195-198, but I think I'm getting a little more chub around...

PCT Day 6 - Chest, Shoulders, Triceps HORRIBLE day at the gym. Why did I do Chest again?! I should have rested since I'm not 'on' anymore. My chest wasn't sore or anything, but my upper back was a bit tight. 2 days ago I benched 285 for 5x5. Today I was overly ambitious and went for 295 -...

lol, what's the difference between needto's better protein bars and George Spellwin's Raw Protein Bars? They seem painfully similar...except one you can buy on amazon and the other at ntbm?

PCT - Day 5: Back So I guess these Barbell Rows I've been doing for the past few weeks with my back parallel to the floor are called Pendlay Rows and when your back is at a 45 degree angle, those or called Yates Rows. Anyways, was at the gym today and decided to them on a deficit, and I just...
