First Cycle/Training Log KINGSOLVER22

[SPEKTOR-AAA]

Hey guys-

I wanted to share with you my journey through my first cycle after being patient for the last 6 years of weight training. Ive trained for awhile now and am pretty stong. Im more athletically built with a strong core. Im not ripped with an 8 pack although this is actually my goal, lol.

24 years old
195 pounds
13-14% bodyfat

I will be posting pictures on my youtube page since that is the easiest way for me to do it. For those who care to follow just type in ( kingsolver22) in the search bar and my videos will come up. I work out with thegladiator1987 his vids are there too. I will title them accordingly.

My cycle is going to be a Test/Beastdrol cycle and will be my FIRST. My goal is to keep 10 pounds of muscle with a lower bodyfat %.

Once again this is just for anyone who has contemplated waiting on doing a cycle until they reach maximum potential. I felt I have and want to share my first cycle with all of you. Thanks and enjoy. A before video will be up tonight on my youtube page so you can all see what I look like as of now. Ill also post my workout routine and weights lifted everyday.

Todays workout felt good. I have bruised ribs so my workouts are definately uncomfortable. Deadlifts went great, felt light I do those on a 5x5 schedule. Chinups were tuff really hurts the ribs. Bicep workouts felt good, I have never really worked on biceps directly so this is a first for me. I will be starting my cycle hopefully by Friday, if not definately next week.

Today felt good, kinked my neck on Barbell military other then that went great. I will be doubling up Calves on shoulder and leg day. My cable shoulder exercises are just more of a isolation type workout with less emphasis on "how much weight" and more emphasis on control and form. Also strengthens my rotator. No protein shake Ill have one at bedtime, but I did eat RIBS lol, and a big serving of veggies and brown whole rice after the workout.

Its been 6 months since I have really focused on legs. I had a knee injury. Felt okay, but wanted to leave it at just squats for this week. Typically i will do Squat, Leg Press, Lunges, Calves.

Decline Crunches
50 for 3 sets

Hanging Leg Lifts
10 for 3 sets

Today wasnt as good as I wanted. Squats felt really heavy, legs felt okay. Rib was bothering me and my intensity sucked. Ill definately have my leg day on schedule next week for today it is what it is. NOT on cycle yet FYI.

I will also be substituting skullcrushers into my routine as of next week.

Getting there bro, maybe 215 by the end of all this and maybe stay at 210 when its all said and done. Thats my goals anyways. Like you said if I can be 210 and single digit BF% ill be seriously happy.

 

[ExtraMile]
