So today someone came up to me at practice (a parent who helps out with the discus) and said "So what's this about you benching 290, how'd that happen?" WTF does he expect me to say...

Obviously my answer was "I've gotten real serious with my training and I'm eating a lot" but he is a former power lifter I don't think he's buying it. Still, its like what answer do you want "500mg Test Cyp man, its fucking awesome"

I laughed when I read this...I can just imagine the look on the guys face if you were to actually say that. Congrats man on the insane gains, hopefully you can keep alot of it.

After some issues with blood pressure from bloat I've decided to take a few weeks while on test to go low carb and cut up a little bit. Then I'll finish off the cycle with a clean diet. I had no problem growing and then all of a sudden my body just stopped and didn't feel very good and I think it was telling me I was too heavy.

So today starts 3 weeks of cutting, hopefully to get down to 195 or so. Morning cardio of stepmill before I eat anything, then I'll stick to low carb foods all day. I lose weight really easily I just hope I don't lose too much muscle.

So yea new plan is

Week 7-12 500mg Test Cyp (the same)
Week 9-14 50mg ED Winny injectable

and perhaps
Week 9-14 100mg EOD Masteron

The diet will be weeks 7,8,9 and I'll then eat CLEAN but plenty of carbs starting week 10 and grow for a little bit after that.

For me I consider the end game to be 200 pounds around 8% and I have a long way to go towards that goal, I can't do it all in 1 cycle.

Today was chest day and I did the hardest workout I've ever done:

5@185 w/chains
5@205 w/chains
3@225 w/chains
1@245 w/chains
3@225 w/chains
5@205 w/chains
5@185 w/chains

5@205
5@225
3@245
1@265
3@245
5@225
5@205

10@135 w/chains
8@155 w/chains
6@175 w/chains
4@195 w/chains
2@215 w/chains
4@195 w/chains
6@175 w/chains

By my quick count thats 21 sets today, all on the flat bench....now thats a workout.

I'm considering next time doing a similar workout on the incline (less weight obviously). Took about 80 minutes but could probably have been done in an hour there were 3 of us and so it took more time.

I'm at 206.8 pounds right now, I feel SOOO much better. My strength is where it was when I was 217 so I'm pretty happy that I was able to get 10 pounds off (mostly water but still) and maintain my strength.

Ag-guys sent me a free bottle of clen in my last order so I'm using that right now and it's pretty good stuff. I am only a few days in but I feel it working for sure. It's a significantly better feeling than xenadrine which leaves me dizzy.

I have finalized how I'm going to end my cycle and here is how it looks:

Week 9 Test Cyp
Weeks 10-14 Test Suspension
Weeks 10-14 Winny Depot
Week 14 1000iu HCG every day for last 10 days of cycle
Week 15-20 AIFM
Week 15-17 Clomid

I'm pretty sure I can put the test/suspension into the same injection every day so that should work out fine.

Winny/Suspension should give me some nice strength gains to finish up.

Well heres the update:

I'm down to 204 pounds as of this morning, thats 13 pounds from my max weight. I look a ton better because I'm not all bloated and today I had a bit of a breakthrough. I did 12 reps at 225 which the most I've done.

When I was 217 I did 11 reps and now I'm 204 doing 12, I'd say things are going well.

I'm having a little problem with the suspension but tomorrow I've got some 21g and 22g needles coming so hopefully that takes care of the problem.

Have you tried the Instone protein pudding? I had 72 chocolate ones last order and they really are pretty bad...although totally edible. This time I got the vanilla and they are ALMOST good.

I'm hoping now to finish this last month of my cycle weighing 200 pounds and putting up 305 on the bench, I don't think thats totally unreasonable.
