Holy fuck! You got that grizzly action going on... Damn, talking about having some great biceps. You're holding in some water and still the peak is showing. Fucking great job!

Hey guys. I went home a little before eight last night to get some sleep.
Kronk, thanks a lot for posting the pics again for the non-plats. That was mighty cool of you.
I'll try to give some answers (for what they're worth) to the questions that were posted.
First of all, I am indeed as tall as I say I am. You can see the end of a trap bar leaning against the wall and some 45's stacked on the floor in one of the bulking pics. That should give you some reference. Before the edges were cut off you could also see my Impex olympic bench. In those pics, my arms are 21", forearms 16 1/4"and thighs are 30 1/4", so that may be why I don't look all that tall. People expect more of a lanky, "tall" look to somebody over six feet. I've spent the last 6+ years working out so I wouldn't have that look. 
Before I started that nine week test/deca/d-bol cycle, I already weighed 283 and I had done a clean 415 bench at 265 lbs. I stopped maxing after that because of shoulders and recurring tweaks in my pecs. I never wanted to use juice to build everything I have. I'm not knocking that approach, but that's just not me. Finally, when I reached a point where I was big enough that I felt I didn't have a lot more to prove, I did the run to see what it was like. The gains were OK, but the post-cycle blues and loss of sex drive sucked, even though I knew what to expect. It's rare that someone gets the chance to be pretty fucking big without messing with their pituitary gland, so I figured I should appreciate that and not push my luck.
Once I came off the cycle, I let my body stabilize for over a month before I started cutting. I was 285 when I started the diet, but it was a more muscular and stronger weight then when I was at 283. I had 100 tabs of clen, but after using fifty of them I got rid of the rest. They didn't seem to be making much of a difference and they made me super irritable. I did use a ton of Vivarin, ECA, Ripped Fuel, Hydroxycut, and Thermogen II. I consumed 300+ gms of protein a day, mostly in the form of egg whites, non-fat cottage cheese, chicken breasts, fish, lean beef, and tuna. After a couple of weeks, I had dropped my carbs down to between 120 and 200 grams a day. Most of that was from rice and oatmeal, with some simple sugars after my workouts. I was also consuming 2+ gallons of water a day. Every four or five days, my metabolism would become so slow that I would get the deep chills in 75 degree weather. When that happened, I'd pig out on whatever the hell I wanted for two days, and sometimes have an intermediate third day. As far as cardio, I mainly used the Precor elliptical trainer set on medium resistance, and I worked my way up to between 45 and 80 minutes a day, four or five times a week. I dropped my poundage that I used with the weights and brought the rep scheme up to between eight and twelve to avoid injury. I also dropped the overall number of sets. I did a lot of incline dumbell press and cable flyes to preserve my upper chest, leg extensions to keep some sweep in my quads, and lots of very high shoulder laterals a couple of times a week to keep my caps and prevent my traps from withering away. I was still doing other exercises, of course, but these are areas that had atrophied quickly when I'd dieted in the past, so I paid special attention to them.
It took me exactly six weeks to get from 285 to 252. I held it for awhile, but now that it's getting cooler again, I'm bulking up some and doing more strength training. I weight 262 right now, with some added muscle and some added fat as well. I'm quite a bit stronger over all, but not as pumped and polished as in the second pics. Spring will come, however, and I'm sure the cutting bug will bite me again like it does every year.
