Today is an off day so will use the chance to update . I eat around 3800-4000 kcal and growing fast . I already put some size on chest , shoulders and arms even though this is only the beginning of the cycle. Probably irrelevant with anabolics , but i am growing really fast.The scale is moving up as well , unfortunately my waist size is also getting bigger.I guess you cannot have it all in life

I have doomed waist genetics about fat metabolism the slightest fat that my metabolism decides to store is going to the abdominal and waist area. I skipped lots of cardio this week so i need to get back on track with cardio. Still i go hard every training and if i do not feel like going hard , i take preworkout when neccessary to keep me going . At the end of the training energy must be drained and targeted muscles must be sore . This is how i know i got a good work out done .
