Andy's first bulking cycle

[letsrun4it]

Weighed in at 203 today... I gotta say that my diet isnt what it could be. When I try to eat clean i get about 2000 calories and thats just not going to cut it. My plan is to bulk til week 8 and then diet with winny...then probably run clen during pct.

Because of back problems I don't max deadlift I just do it for reps, nor do I squat at all. For legs I mostly use the leg press and I don't max on that either. I pretty much don't max power cleans either I just do reps. I use my bench press as my gauge of strength because frankly its the easiest to do for my body.

Today I was repping 205 and did it 8 times so I thought I might be ready for 255 so I loaded it on and it took about 15 seconds but the bar went up so woohoo. On friday I'll try 260 and hopefully I get that.

My last back workout left me with a back pump that was just crazy so hopefully tomorrow goes a little smoother.

Ok so the whole world knows I'm on steroids apparantly. I've gained a ton of weight, my bench has "magically" gone up 20 pounds in the last 3 weeks. All the kids I coach are like "____ says you're on steroids" I certainly have never told any of the kids anything they just are assuming. This will get real interesting if the other coaches start asking. Of course I'll always say no but how else does one add such obvious amounts of size in a couple of weeks.

It's awesome to read your journal. Your progress is phenomenal. I suggest making sure you get the calories you need. If need be, carry a jar of peanut butter with you at all times and just scoop it when you feel even a little bit hungry.

As far as the people speculating go... Most know nothing about the body building world. Tell them you bought a bottle of prohormones (or that you just started creatine) and it's been working great for you. Also tell them that you've been eating like a horse lately.

Ok its friday which means chest day (I also hit it mondays) and that is how I measure my progress like I've explained before and today I maxed 265 so another 10 pounds! I don't know if its the amount of food I'm eating, the anavar, the test, or what. It's a great combo though cause I'm getting hella strong.

I am sporting a bit of a cold today which sucks because its REALLY hard to eat when you don't feel well. I will keep pluggin away but my body might have to settle for 3500 calories today, no 6000 like I've been aiming for.

The one area I'm definitely slacking in is the water, I don't know what happened I was so good about it for awhile and then one day I realized I hadn't drank water in like 3 days outside of my pills and with meals.

OK so after a few days of bouncing between 202-203 I cranked up my eating hardcore and this morning I finally busted through and weighed in at 204.6 I went back to an old staple of mine, spanish rice, for a way to get a ton of calories. Eating 1 pound a day for ground beef wont help my already high blood pressure probably but what can I do?

After 4 weeks + 2 days I'm +27 pounds (lots of water of course). Today I benched 275 for the first time, woohoo! Like I explained before its the only compound lift I max on but I also noticed on saturday how my reps at deadlift are getting much easier so I am moving higher in weight there as well.

March 11 I benched 240, March 27 I benched 275
Anavar + Test is the bomb diggity

I have stopped with the anavar, I'm going to save the rest for the end. I'm planning on ending my cycle with Var + Winny going right up to pct with those two.

Just wanted to update the weight is now at 206 pounds.

EDIT: Today its 208. I will update later if I bench 280.

280!

I'm on my way to 300. Like posted above I was 208 this morning. The gut around my middle which was non existant before starting is getting to be quite something. I really don't mind I'm confident with some winny and clen later on along with a reduced calorie diet I'll be able to get hard and lean.

After my 280 I did a couple noteworthy sets before everything fell apart.

10x205
11x215

I wouldn't have been doing such high reps but I underestimated how many I could do. Next time I'll do sets at 220-225.
