Mattrag's summer cut log

[mattrag]

So guys I have decided to cut (well I seem to always be trying to...) with some help this time. This is not my first cycle... nor a beginner's cycle but it should be great! haha

Stats
5'10"
215lbs
BF around 15%

Cycle

AndroHard v2 (I got a lot of this when version 3 was released so I have a lot)
6/8/10/10/10/10/12/12/12

Ultra drol
12/16/16/20/24/0/0/0 (I have two bottles, will go up if I dont see much gains in the first few weeks)

Trenazone
0/0/0/1.5/1.5/1.5/2/2 (I have two bottles so I might just go till it runs out. I hear 2ml is the sweet spot for most running it so I hope with the UD in there I dont need to go any higher. But If I do whatever... I dont like NOT finishing bottles... unless I have a lot in my stash)

DHEA/Preg Patches
1 everyday

Powerfull
3 Every night

Need2slin
3 on burn days 4 on build days

LCLT
500mgs between meals and pre cardio/workout

BCAAs
~ 30g a day

EAAs (used if training fasted)
3g

Taurine
6g a day (2g doses spread throughout the day usually have them morning, and before both my meals)

TUCDA
250mgs a day (Dosed at night)

TTA
1.5g a day


Plus a whole lotta other health stuff.

I follow HST training. Everything is supersetted cept squats and deads.
Diet is IF
1500 burn days
2200-3000 build days. (usually friday I will do a really big post workout meal, wednesday I keep it a bit less. Sat and sunday are my "Play" days where I try to do some cross fit or something, calories will usually be on the higher side as these are the days I spend with my wife so I cant be TOO picky. Though being completely gluten intolerant definitely helps me avoid having to eat cakes etc.)

Started this 10 days ago but decided I wanted more input so here is my log
Any opinions, suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Nice to have you along!


Small update:

Definitely feeling the enhanced thermogenesis. Last night I got up in the middle of the night in sweat. And just talked to the others at work and they said it was cold last night....


Did a quick morning workout of high sumo pulls/pull ups 5x135/10xbw 3 sets, 6:30.

Just to get the blood flowing in the morning.

Day 16...
Got sme bad news bros... Think I'm gonna have to cut my cycle short. Been having some weird tan/redish spots come up on my midsection and around my chest. Looked it up online and it ranges from yeast - cancer. So I'm just gonna abort and do a mild pct. (probably run low dose torem, formastanzol and some daa with prg control) still looking to lean out.
Any suggestions on what to run in pct? Just throwing it out there hehe.

 

[mattrag]

Day 17 (PCT day 2)

Yesterday
60mgs of Torem
.2mgs of Arimidex]
10 pumps of formastanzol (5 pumps AM, 5 pumps PM)
4 caps AnaBeta
2 caps Forged Steel
4 caps PCT (AI product)

no workout, but I am going to dose arimi EOD, torem 60mgs this week, then 30mgs next week. I will see how my estrogen fluctuates via any sides. (Nipples hurting, bloated looking, joint pain... well lack there of joint pain)

Im moving my training cycle into the 5s and keeping it between 4-6 reps. Going to bump up the weight. I dont care about the size now... as I feel I can look good so long as i dont drop too far below the 90kg mark... 2 years ago I was 82kgs and about 1% bf less than I am now.... So if I can get to say 88kgs and look like that I will be VERY pleased.

[rustilldown]

Hey I found it buddy!! Your workouts look good ! So did your redness go away ? How have you recovered ? What do you think the cause was/is?

 

[mattrag]

Hey I found it buddy!! Your workouts look good ! So did your redness go away ? How have you recovered ? What do you think the cause was/is?

Weird it stopped BUT I still get itchy. Like before the sweat comes when lifting I get itchy, then it stops... so I'm assuming it's okay. It comes and goes... Redness as well. Though I have been a hermit so it could be the sun as I was playing tennis like a madman when it was getting really red.

Pretty much gonna see how things go from here on out. I am already out of my little PCT (off the serm) and tapering off my AI. If all goes well by June 11th I can run a short cycle if I want. Might just do something weak though as I don't want to have too much of a fluctuation in weight. Just want more recomp. I'm thinking Epi or Hella. I grow really fast so if I jump on UDrol I might explode... lol.

 

[rustilldown]

Yeah well I don't know what could be the cause of that redness so keep an eye on it hopefully it's just the sun/ sweat irritating your skin or somethin simple. Let me know if you run hella, I'd be very interested to follow I think it will be my next adventure too.

Oh I will. Trying to get as lean as possible though first. Using some goodies. Currently, I am running Albuterol (Gonna for 15 days then break for 15), Ostarine (25mg ED). Gonna do a short PCT when my mom visits for 2 weeks, then probably decide if I am going to run something. I might just run Trenzaone... I have it.... Ever run it?

No I haven't I have only read a little about it not too educated on the product, how are you liking the Ostarine? No hand numbness eh!? And is albuterol working well I'm curious of this product too ! Run hella! And I'll follow along and run it after

Numbness? Hmm. Nope. I think albuterol is great. Definitely feel the increased endurance in cardio/tennis sessions. And in doing some of my crossfit WO.
Very tempting to run hella/tren stacked... I may have to pick up an AI though just in case.... lol.

Good workout day. Deads felt REALLY heavy. Oddly this is my first deadlift workout of this meso cycle so I hope I recover by next week lol.

 

[mattrag]

I'm 3kgs down. Looking pretty lean now. Definitely lost some fat around the chest area. (usually first to go for me)
Strength is going up and so is cardio. So I'm doing pretty well on albuterol and anabeta haha.

Added supps.

bridge 4caps a day
TT33 2caps before bed.
So now I'm running...

Lean xtreme
Exemestane (6.25mg ED)
Super cissus
EFA
AnaBeta ((oringinal)
Coleus forskolin (500mg)
TTA (1.5g)
Albuterol 4mg x2
Ursolic acid 800mg ED
(dropped forma)


In regards to my training. I have decided to do more cardio, body weight type things. My training will remain the same with the 5/3/1 though just I won't be doing a whole lot of volume. Many of the "volume" you will see on my log will be skill work. Working on getting my squat more geared towards and Oly squat, so I can practice front squating and then I will just use front squats and deads to train heavy. Perhaps I will do a back squat cycle here and there but mainly front squat as my front squat is SEVERELY lacking.

 

[RickRock13]

Sounds like you are making good progress Matt. Doing any progress pics soon?

 

[rustilldown]

Mattrag is going to be a beast.


Ride it like you stole it!!
