Weekly update time!
Body weight today was 89.7kg which was a big 1kg jump overnight....definately looking watery today. Average weekly weight actually dropped from 88.4 to 88.2 despite upping cals, in fact for my first few days hovering around 4k cals I dropped weight every single day which lead to me upping my cals to about 4150 on training days. I will hold at around this number for atleast the next week and see what happens.
Training has been going very well, have had a little discomfort in my lower back but nothing too concerning, just have to be careful and play it safe which is exactly what I did last night - I got all the way through my RDL warm up and decided it just didn't feel right and I couldn't hit the right groove so skipped my work set and moved on to the next exercise. 2 years ago I would've pushed through, done the set, upset my back some more which would've lead to weeks of disrupted training....definately a bit wiser in my old age.
Cardio and steps have still been on point, I believe they are key to feeling good and being healthy especially in a gaining phase where food and PEDS are high and bodyweight is constantly increasing, I feel so good now compared to previous bulks that I'm sure I can push this for another couple months and get some really solid progress.
Anyway here's a few post work out pics from during the week.

Water was today, pics from mid week.
I'm just being picky and self critical anyway haha
Back is looking great bro 
Cheers dude!Back is looking great bro
Walking away from the RDL work set when the groove felt off, rather than forcing it like two years ago, will keep this gaining phase rolling legend.
Cheers mate
Alright, weekly update time.
So looking at my logs I'm 17 weeks post show now and effectively been in a caloric surplus that entire time - 7 weeks cruising and now 10 weeks on cycle, everything is still going well so hoping I can get another 10 weeks or so before having to back off. That will make this my longest and I'm sure most successful gaining phase yet.
Weight this morning was 91.2kg up from 89.7 last week which is a massive increase! My weight has fluctuated up and down quite significantly this week so not sure how much credence to put into today's weigh in. I was toying with the idea of dropping calories a touch to slow things down a little but decided against it, I'm back at work next week so will have my daily expenditure pick up a bit which will slow things down anyway.
Gym, cardio, sleep and diet have all been on point and of course the @Buck Pharmaceuticals are doing there thing as youd expect.

Seventeen weeks in a surplus with everything still running well is shaping up as your best gaining phase yet bro.
Sliced! Look at the separation on the arms phew!
Those rear delts are popping bro!
Cheers alcatraz, slowly getting smoother but hey that's what happens
Thanks grumpy
Yeah mate, it's been a dream run, if I can hit 25 or even 30 weeks ill be absolutely stoked!
Thanks upcomer
Thanks mate. I don't give them very much direct work at all. The couple of sets a week they do get are very controlled and intense though.
Cheers mate. They do seem to respond well on me.
You so sliced legend
Alright, weekly update time.
Fasted weight this morning was 90.4kg which is down from 91.2kg last check in. Weekly average is 90.2kg, up from 90.1 last week. Definitely looking a touch tighter and drier this week. Calf and bi measurements up slightly, waist meaurement unchanged. I was thinking I was going to hold calories static this week but after looking at this data I'm thinking I need a bump, so going to add an additional 50g carbs or so taking me to 4400 kcals on training days. New training day diet as follows.

Just realised diet is posted in backwards order haha...oh well.
Training has been going well with slow but steady progress, only issue has been some knee soreness which has lead me to tweak my program slightly.
@Buck Pharmaceuticals gear continuing to do its thing as you'd expect.
All in all everything still going very well.

6 meals (7 if you count an intra shake) and 4400 glorious carb filled calories
"Glorious carb filled calories"
Looks like the calories are going where they need to go!
In my mouth??"Glorious carb filled calories"
Nah they seem to be settling into all the right places for the most part.
impressive legend
Cheers mateGot the superman build going on. Well done brotherdiced as bro
Thanks mate. I enjoy each and every one of them!
OK weekly check in time
Fasted weight - Weight is 91.8kg . Weekly average is 91.1kg, up from 90.2 last week so pretty big jump. Definately pretty watery last few days. Bi, thigh and waist measurements slightly up. Seems to be a common occurrence everytime i bump cals, big jump in weight and i smooth out, over next week or 2 weight stalls and I dry out a touch. Obviously I'll hold cals here for a week or 2 minimum (4400ish training days).
Training still going well as you would expect with all the food and top tier pharmaceutical assistance (thanks @Buck Pharmaceuticals ). Knees have reacted well to the tweaks in my leg training so looks like I caught that just in time, was dreading having to deal with more injuries.
Still hoping to push this phase till the end of year if not a touch further, original goal was to hit some where around 95kg by Xmas which I should be able to do pretty easily, just need to make sure it's quality weight so might be slightly less aggressive with calorie bumps going forward.
Anyway heres a couple pics.

This. This is the type of goal I would aim for if I did bodybuilding. Smashing it
Thanks mate....appreciate the feedback!
Goals bro goals. Insane rig
Cheers mate....yeah got to have some goals, otherwise how you gonna achieve anything??Goals bro goals. Insane rig
LFG sliced abs legend you hard AF
@Grumpy1 @abolone @koba @gar71 @BSS @Scuffer @Oths @ChewedSleek @Allupfromhere
Progressing well. Still lean and continuing to grow!
Knees responding to the leg training tweaks while the food sits at 4400 is a good combination brother.
Thanks mate
Cheers grumpy
Thanks dude....yeah it's going pretty well
It sure is! I'm a pretty happy man at the moment
Brooo
that’s unreal, should be so proud 
the dedication and symmetry and density is unreal 
Thanks @UnclePoon, I appreciate that mate.Brooo
Alright it's that time of the week again....update time!
So first off this past week I dialled down my intensity and volume just a touch, you could maybe call it a mild deload perhaps? Essentially I took nothing past failure this week, no rest pause or lengthened partials after failure which are my normal go tos. I'm definately feeling a bit fresher now and was still able to progress in the gym so a definate win.
Diet, training, cardio, steps etc we're all on point. Digestion is good and I'm patiently awaiting my next calorie bump. My weight flat lined in the 92kg range for majority of week before jumping pretty quickly the last couple days, weight this morning was 94kg up from 91.8 last week. Obviously some big shifts in water taking place (and some fat accrual and hopefully muscle) but needless to say I'll hold calories steady for another week or two. All measurements were up this week unfortunately including my waist. All in all still pretty happy with how it's all going.
Big shout out to my man @Buck Pharmaceuticals , definately wouldn't be getting these kinds of gains with out his support if you know what I mean.

Nah change the name to Mr Superman, look at the fucken pecs on you bro needs that big S on it haha
Same weight but drastic changes, can tell you’ve been crafting this body very well - well done brother
Haha cheers mate (@UnclePoon) . Won't lie though, had a chest pump going....they don't always look like that!
Insane abs brother, and crazy veins on the biceps, really amazing stuff. Congrats on the consistent body growth btw, that's a clean bulk !
Thanks mate. I'm pretty lucky in that my abs is one of the last places I store fat so I feel like I look leaner in pics than I really am, my thighs on the other hand lose separation pretty quickly. All in all very happy with progress over last few months and hoping to push it some more before having to hold and then cut.
Night and day difference brother! Great progress made between those shots
Nothing past failure for a week and you still progressed, nice way to freshen up
Thanks mate, didn't actually realised I had progressed that much untill looking at those pics. Wish I took more pics back in the day.
Thanks dude. I used to be very self conscious about taking pics of my self and thought it was very vain....wish I took more pics to track my progress
Thanks mate
Me too, bro. I also just hated looking at myself in the mirror at the time, so it was difficult to take any pics.
Nothing wrong with being Vain if you use that healthily for yourself, I absolutely have always loved myself (for the most part) at all stages of my life, I'm no where near as diced or lean as anyone on this forum and I can't not look at a reflection of myself everywhere I go haha, but my ego belongs to me and me alone in that sense - I hope where you're at now bro You're at a similar place - You're fucken jacked bro
OK weekly update time.
Fasted weight today 94.8kg up from 94kg last week, weekly average is 93.4kg up from 92.75kg last week so pretty big jump again, I was expecting the weight gain to slow down a touch, no biggie though, will simply continue to hold cals where they are (4400 training days).
Training was very good this week with some of the best progression I've had all cycle which I put down to 2 factors
-improved sleep. Now getting 7 hours most nights with 5 to 6 of those hours being completely unbroken
-being better recovered. I've dialled back my intensifiers a touch and dropped my Monday HIIT cardio session. I was probably pushing things a touch too hard.
Later this morning I'll getting bloods pulled, it's been about 7 or 8 weeks I think since last ped bump so curious to see what's happening, have been feeling really good though so will have to remember the test, deca, eq ratio im using for future blasts. On that I did make a little adjustment to my gh dosing, was previously doing 4ius daily, now doing 6iu training days and 2iu on off days.
Thanks as always to @Buck Pharmaceuticals for supplying the good stuff!
Anyway as always...a couple pics

what’s the reasoning behind higher HGH on training days, then dropping on non-training days?
Haha, thanks mate, I'm a bit old to know who that is but I'm guessing it's a diagonally z thing?? I'll have to do some research. Appreciate the compliment.I been sitting here for the last week thinking " who does Mr- Cable remind me of"
You got the Tien Build
View attachment 193399
Nothing scientific behind it really, had just heard about people doing similar, or 5 days on, 2 off etc. Ideally I would do 6 every day (or more) but i ration it for cost saving reasons. My assumption (and this could be totally wrong) is that I'll get more bang for my buck by upping dose on training days and getting more IGF1 conversion when it can be better put to use. Again I have nothing to back this theory up but thought I'd try it out for a bit.
Thanks grumpy. I've been working the abs hard and heavy lately so looking forward to eventually dieting down and checking them out, they've definately thickened up a little.
Thanks mate. Certainly can't complain about how things are going.
hahaha you guessed right brother - Tien is a beast it's a compliment
Yeah goals right there bro
Cheers mateYeah goals right there bro
About to go watch some dragon ball z now mate....let's see what this Tien is all about hahahahaha you guessed right brother - Tien is a beast it's a compliment
Seven hours of mostly unbroken sleep and suddenly it's the best week of the cycle, funny that
