Benoit23's First Ever Injectable Cycle

[benoit23]

Hey guys,

I started this over on our DLC forum and thought I would share it with everyone over here as well. I really like the knowldge on this board and would love everyones input. So I'll post up what I have so far.

My Stats
25 y.o.
6ft
155ish lbs
8ish% bf (was around 5% just a few short weeks ago post my competition, but I have been completely off my diet for the last 3 weeks and just been eating like shit ... abs are almost completely gone now cuz im so bloated and watery, but its been worth it ... needed that break after sticking to a diet perfectly for 8 month ... figured it was okay since I planned on bulking anyway and need to get used to looking at myself in the mirror without my abs ... or so RSP keeps telling me http://dionysuslabs.co/community/images/smilies/tongue.png)

My goal
My plan is to try and gain around 30lbs and settle in at 185-180 after its all said and done. For being a first cycle, I have been told this is not a stretch and should be possible if I eat enough to grow, which I certainly plan on doing.

My diet
Below is an example of what my typical days numbers should come to about. I plan on eating the same thing each day because that allows me to really track my numbers and is just simpler for me and how I like to do it. I will be eating about 600+ calories over maintenance and obviously adjusting this as time goes and I start to gain weight. These numbers are made up from all clean foods that include: chicken, steak, egg white, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, quinoa, rice cakes, green beans, apples, natural pb/almond butter, and a protein/CHO shake for my pre/intra workout drink (as well as some sweet tarts pre workout to gives the carbs in my drink something to attach to shuttle into the muscles)

Calories: 3299
Fats: 66.75
Protein: 308.75
Carbs: 371.5

My training
I will be following this plan pretty much to a T as it will be perfect to compliment a lean mass building diet: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/growth-spurt-30-pounds-muscle-in-one-year.html

My Cycle:
I will be running a blast and Cruise, followed by a second blast then extended PCT ... That's the long plan and everything is built our and pruchased adn ready to go all the ay up to the second blast (obviously will plan that out when the time comes and I decide what my goal is at that point). Cant give enough thanks to RSP for working with me over the last few months to really educate me and build a perfect cycle that is both good for my goals and also includes everything necessary to have a safe run! I wanted to make sure I did hours and hours and hours of research before ever running a cycle, so you can be assured a lot of thought was put into this and I fully trust RSP plan... will owe this guy a lot when I am a FREAK in a few months http://dionysuslabs.co/community/images/smilies/wink.png

Here it is...

Weeks 1-12: DioTest C - 600mg (split doses mon am/thurs pm), will see how everything is going week 6 and likely bump up to 800mg for weeks 7-12
Weeks 1-4: Nanodrol - 1ml ed (liquid oral PH to kickstart cycle - did not want to venture into d bol at this time for a first cycle), UDCA
Weeks 8-14: Winny (GP orals) - 40mg ed (split doses am/before workout)
Weeks 13-20: DioTest C - 200mg (split doses mon am/thurs pm)
Weeks 3-20: HCG 500ius (split doses mon am/thurs pm)
Weeks 1-20: Aromasin 6.25mg ed (will assess and change as needed), Advanced Cycle Support (higher dosage when on orals - 3 caps, 2 cap a day when just on test), multi, fish oils, Flex Rx Joint support, and lastly HGH (grey tops, same as RSP is using in his run) - starting at 2ius for first 4 weeks then will slowly bump up as sides are manageable
Weeks 21 and beyond: TBD - thinkin may include some EQ tho http://dionysuslabs.co/community/images/smilies/smile.png
Eventual PCT pst second blast: Nolva @ 20 and clomid @ 50 for 6 weeks

To update this, I pinned my second pin yesterday (left ass cheek this time) once again had ZERO pain, slight fullness right after pin for about an hour but absolutely zero pain ever. Will pin right glut thursday again then moving to delts next week, hoping for no PIP again, not expecting any. That 1" needle is going to look HUGE going into my delt haha!

11/17 - 11/30 - hgh 2ius Monday - Friday, weekends off

11/27 - 300mg DioTest C right glute, 1ml nanodrol (split doses am/pm)

11/28 - 11/30 - 1ml nanodrol (split doses am/pm)

12/1 - weighed 165.6, 300mg DioTest C left glute, 1ml nanodrol (split doses am/pm), HGH bumped to 3ius, and all support supps (ACS, UDCA, fish oils, Vitamin C/D, Multi, Super Enzymes, fiber, etc) - those will be a daily thing so wont be listing that each day

12/2 (today) - weighed 169.8, 1ml nanodrol (split doses am/pm), HGH 3ius

Guessing my weight will be fluctuating around for awhile this first week with added water and stuff.

Not sure if I will keep updating my workouts or not, may help to see my progress, here is yesterdays Chest/Calves/Cardio:

Standing Calf Raises: 225 x 30, 315 x 15 + 2 forced reps (FR), 315 x 15 + 2 forced reps + 5 partials
Seated Calf Raises: 215 x 30, 305 x 15 + 2 FR, 305 x 15 + 23 FR, 305 x 15 + 2 FR + 5 partials
Leg Press Calf Raises:300 x 30, 415 x 15 + 2 FR, 415 x 15 + 2 FR + 5 partials

Flat DB Bench Press: 50 x 20, 75 x 8 + 2 FR, 75 x 8 + 2 FR, 75 x 8 + 2 FR
Incline DB Bench Press: 45 x 16, 65 x 8 + 2 FR, 65 x 8 + 2 FR
Peck Deck Flyes (FST7 style) - 7 sets at 160 x 10 with 30 seconds intense stretch between each
Weighted Dips: Body Weight x 15, 20lb db between legs x 8 + 5 Body Weight, 20lb db between legs x 8 + 5 Body Weight, 20lb db between legs x 8 + 5 Body Weight

Workout felt really good! The FRs are when I get to failure then have my partner (recruited a new guy will see how this goes, havent had a partner in forever but need one for this heavier lifting style) assist very minimally for 2 more reps.

I realize that those numbers are very huge for my chest flat/incline press, but for just coming off a crazy cut in my contest prep and losing a GOOD amount of muscle doing so, I'm failry happy with them - know they're not much for a lot of you beats on here haha but hopefully they will improve.

Legs later tonight. I will also try to remember to take my measurements, so I have that for comparison afterwards.

Peace Brothers!

[benoit23]

So that's all I have so far, it's early, but I will try to update as much as possible. Thanks guys and again I hope to have some people following along and providing input!

[Thirsty]

Looks great Brother! Looking forward to following along!

[benoit23]

Thanks, Thirsty!

I'm not as horrified by high doses of gear as most but I'm of the thinking that the longer you've been on and more gear u have run the more your body is able to actually use large amounts effectively.
I don't know if going up to 800 mg test c is a great idea but I'm still not convinced either way . I'm talking about brothers who don't have at least a few cycles under their belt .

I'll be following this closely Benoit . Welcome to the side with the fancy BLACK hats bro [emoji109]
Bro go check out the documentary "Under Construction" it's by far the most honest / brutal documentary ever made on AAS and using heavy doses . Let me know what u think. I "think" I'm able to send u guys a link because I actually was given a free viewing of this .

[benoit23]

I'll definitely loo kthat up and give it a view Roo. I need to watch generation iron or whatever is the one thats supposedly like the new age pumping iron ... love that movie. Glad you will be following along and I will do my best to keep this updated daily. Love any and all feedback. As i said, I did an insane amount of research setting this up and it took me a long while to decide on everything and try to set it up as safely as possible, but always welcome different viewpoints even if not to agree, just to learn. So were you saying you think it will be unnnecesary to bump it up, or you agreed with bumping it up higher? Sorry just wanted to clarify as I was a bit confused.

Later brother!

[Rooroo]

I originally edited my post because I forgot to add something and ended up adding the " I'm taking about brothers who don't have at least a few cycles under their belt " in the wrong spot so I could definitely see how u were confused !! Lmao !! I think I fixed it :)

Basically my point is I don't know if a new user of AAS or just synthetic testosterone in general is able to use 800 mg of test and the benefits outweigh the negatives . I'm just not sure about it and wish we had some serious research to look to .
I think the biggest thing I worry about for u is that taking smaller doses after running gear that high is going to be disappointing to say the least . You can always take more but once you take a certain amount taking less isn't an option anymore if your looking to grow serious muscle .
I don't say that with 100% certainty but I think it makes some sense .
The first cycle I ever did was Test cyp at 200 mg a week for 8 weeks . That dose sounds too low to grow !! But bet your ass grow I did ! The first time u add extra test to your body it's party time .
Are u ready to go to a gram on cycle # 2 . Just something to think about . Enjoy this cycle because there will never be a first one again .

[kubes]

Looks good brother. I will be following along. You might bump that aromasin to 12.5mg Ed. Enjoy the cycle

[benoit23]

Thanks too I appreciate the feedback! For the time being I will stick with 600mg and may not even end up bumping it up, we will see. I had help from a very trusted friend on this so I'm flying with him and his set up for this run and going to give it my all. I. Eating like a monster for the first time ever as I know I only have one first cycle and I want to absolutely destroy it. Appreciate the advice and I hope you keep following. Love the brothers here.

Kubes, I'll def be monitoring that E2 and if needed bump it up. Appreciate you following brother feel free to chime in whenever.

[Aton]

I think Beni will do great. Would like to here the progress.

[benoit23]

Update:

12/2 workout: Legs (quads/hams)

Hammies:
Stiff-Legged Deadlifts: 135 x 10 (4 sets) **I go light on these just to warm up hammies - i dont fuck with heavy oin any kind of deadlift anymore screws up my back no matter what**
Leg Curls (Seated): 90 x 20, 120 x 10 + 2 FR, 110 x 10 + 2 FR + 5 partials
Leg Curls (Lying): 80 x 15, 110 x 10 + 2 FR, 100 x 10 +2 FR + 3 partials
Abductor Machine: 100 x 20, 140 x 10 + 2 FR, 140 x 10 + 2 FR + 5 partials

Quads:
Leg Extensions (toes pointing in): 75 x 25, 120 x 10 + 2 FR, 120 x 10 + 2 FR + 5 partials **held at top for 5 sec pause on each rep at full extension - burnin those tear drops**
Squats (smith mahcine - shoulder width feet): 135 x 16, 225 x 10, 225 x 10, 225 x 10, 225 x 10 **really focused on form - went nice and slow and deep just how she likes it**
Leg Press (shoulder width feet and fst7 style - stretching for 30 secs between each set): 250 x 12 for 5 sets **wanted to get to 7 but by this point I was about to puke, after all those leg exercises, finishing with an FST7 style set is BRUTAL, but hurts so good**
Addcutor Machine: 100 x 20, 140 x 10 + 2 FR, 140 x 10 + 2 FR + 5 partials

Safe to say I was crawling out of the gym after this lift! I know some of the exercises (squats, leg press, etc) the weight is not super heavy, but I promise my form was very strict and I was really focusing on the stretch and contraction. Thats something I am going to force myself to really execute on each lift. I kind of see this first cycle as my "New beginning" and I know the past several months my form has been sloppy and I've just been throwing around the weights. This go round, I will be lifting as heavy as possible in order to grow, but also making sure I have strict form and really focus on the muscle working in each lift. So far it has felt great and i think this will do wonders throughout! PS: if you were wondering about my lifting partner, cant remember if i mentioned him or not in my first post, but he works tuesdays, which i probably a good thing becasue he would have DIED during this legs day (he's supposed to do it today on his own - today is my rest day/cardio) we will see hows hes feeling. He outweighs me by about 20 lbs, yet lifts half what I do, not accostomed to the gym so hes kinda my project during this run - needed the spotter tho!

So anyways that was yesterday. Went bowling for my roommates bday after and made sure to get in all my meals. I realized 1 tbsp of pb with oats in the morning justisnt enough so that got bumped to 2, so my cals are prolly sitting close to 3500 a day now.

12/3: 1ml nanodrol (split doses am/pm), HGH 3ius

Weighed in at:172.2 thats up about 7-8 lbs in 5 days so far running the Nanodrol and 2 test c injections so far (totaling 600mg) ...

What do you guys think about that? Seems like a lot of weight to me, but guess thats a good thing right? I'm tryin to put on size and I'm sure this first week is a LOTY of water, but just wanted to hear some opinions as this is my first run. I think RSP mentioned in the first 2 weeks he wouldnt be surprised to see me put on 10-15 lbs just from this nanodrol. Just fyi for anyone who doesnt know, Nanodrol is similar to the PH "MSTEN" but it is nanoparticles and liquid oral so it kicks in much faster and stronger, expecting it to really start showing in my lifts by next week.

Today is an active rest day so will just be going to do 30 min LISS cardio (4.2 walk on tread) then having this chick over to chill (introducing her to Game of Thrones, watching all the episodes over again with her becasue IT IS THAT GOOD!) ... will get in some bonus cardio as well!

Thanks for reading bros! Let me know what you think, do you like me updating this in such detail? I don't want to be boring you guys, but for my first run feel like this may be really good to look back on!

Later

[kubes]

That's a lot of weight gain friend. I would have to think that much gain is a lot of water. 1-2 lbs each week is pretty good

[benoit23]

Yeah definitely a lot of water I'm sure, thats to be expected this first week tho right?

[kubes]

Yeah definitely a lot of water I'm sure, thats to be expected this first week tho right?

No not that much. How clean is your nutrition? How are your clothes fitting are you noticing a difference around the waist?

[benoit23]

It's perfectly clean all clean foods: around 3400 cals, 75g fat, 317g protein, 383g carbs each day ... waist is still the same ... chest is feeling bigger and arms too, abs are obviously feeling a little bloated and bigger, but nothin too crazy ... I'll keep moitoring it this week ( I shouldn't weigh each day becasue my weight has been kown to fluctuate like crazy always has) ... will see where I'm at sunday and may have to adjust cals down some if I feel im gaining too fast.

[kubes]

Yes weigh in once each week. How about greens? They help strip water off you. Are you eating greens with at least a couple meals Ed?

[benoit23]

yeah i eat about 5-6 oz of greens beans with lunch and dinner ... if i had to guess I'm around 5-600 over maintenance ... i usually weigh in every day then avg 5 days at a time then compare those averages ... i always weight at the exact same time/state too just to be clear so thats constant

[kubes]

Looks good brother

Theres my exact meal plan currently just to give more info ... ignore the fiber and sodium those arent correct lol

[kubes]

Looks good brother. How much cardio are you doing?

[benoit23]

Not a whole ton since im on a bulk but about 3-4 days a week of 30 min LISS either fasted in morning or post workout ... mostly just doing it for the health benefits but figured it may help to keep the gains a little more lean

That's good to help keep the fat off. I like to do 30-40 minutes right after I am done lifting keeping my heart rate below 130 the fat burning zone

[benoit23]

You think it would be beneficial to just go ahead and add it in each day then 7 days a week at that same style ... thats how i had been doin it 3-4 days

[kubes]

You could but I like my 2 days away from the gym. I take my dog for walks in the morning on my off days to get in some extra cardio

[benoit23]

I take my pup for walks as well :) Samoyed, what breed is your's?

Mind over matter brother. Pain doesn't hurt right?

[benoit23]

Hurts so good

[Aton]

Solid setup Beni.

[Roadstarpete]

Ben, your gonna knock this one out of the park, brother! Keep up the good work!

[benoit23]

Thanks brother! I'll be giving it my all!

Just a PSA, this man above here IS THE SHIT! he took me under his wing for the last several months and has mentored me on everything AAS related and helped me plan out this badass first cycle. He is a WEALTH of knowledge and this board is lucky to have him. Quality dude who is always willing to help. Not kidding, I bet I have asked him 100+ questions (always tried to make them educated after research tho) and he NOT ONCE ever hesitated in responding or acted pissed off from them. Appreciate everything bro!

[Rooroo]

Being lean is such a blessing Ben !!! I'm enjoying this ! Yes I believe you will become a beast !! [emoji119][emoji111][emoji109]

[benoit23]

Looking good brother. Lean too!

Feels so weird to be called "lean" looking like this to me after just coming off a contest haha I don't think I put this pic on here but this was just a month ago ... Ate like shit for the entire month after because my body needed a break after being so strict for 7 months and knew I was going to be bulking so figured it would be okay, but to me I feel soooo fat right now lol but have to put that mindset aside cuz 150 and 6 foot in this Pic is just too small, lookin to get to 190 then shred up again ... Def miss my abs tho :( o well ... All about becoming better right? Hopefully it pays off in 6 months!

4083

[kubes]

You will get there no problem brother. Gaining and loosing us always constant as at our leanest for the contest our bodies will fight us. Our bodies just do not want to stay that lean

Lift felt great! Again, I am REALLY focusing on my form and making sure I am fully using the muscle that should be used on each lift. Not cheating at all. Had a pretty good pump (tried to upload pic but guess im out of space and could not figure out how to delete old attachments, that size allotment for pics is SO small it gets used up in no time!), but cant wait for a few more days when the Nanodrol really starts pumpin, then a few weeks after that when the test is in full blast ... THOSE pumps will be nasty http://dionysuslabs.co/community/images/smilies/smile.png

[kubes]

Nice work bro. Tapatalk app has been the easiest way for me to upload pics

[benoit23]

I'm out of space it won't let me add anymore... Or does tap talk bypass that?

12/7 - weighed 174 still, 1ml nano am/pm, no hgh

Off day from lifting just did two diff sets (am/pm) of LISS 30 min cardio and that was all ... Going to be pinning the Dio test c into the delts tomorrow, will update then. Night!

[benoit23]

12/8 - 300mg Dio Test C into left delt - eazy peazy, same as glutes no pain at all other than initial "full" feeling, love how smooth this gear is! - 1 ml nano (split dose AM/PM), hgh bumped up to 4iu this week

Calves/Chest workout tonight! Cant wait! Minus the fact I for some reason set my lifting schedule to have Chest on Monday when every other bro is doing it as well haha

[kubes]

Haha I hit chest yesterday. Today is my arm day ;)

[benoit23]

Freakin love arm day, haha! But then again, who doesnt! #DATPUMP

Favorite quote: " It's as satisfying to me as, uh, coming is, you know? As, ah, having sex with a woman and coming. And so can you believe how much I am in heaven? I am like, uh, getting the feeling of coming in a gym, I'm getting the feeling of coming at home, I'm getting the feeling of coming backstage when I pump up, when I pose in front of 5,000 people, I get the same feeling, so I am coming day and night. I mean, it's terrific. Right? So you know, I am in heaven."

Arnold is the man!

[benoit23]

12/8 - chest/calves/cardio

Alright I know it's only day 11 on this stuff, but I felt DAMN good today. May still be a placebo at this point but wherever I'll take it. If this is any kind of sign of the future you guys were right, I could be in for a HELL of a run! Almost all lift are already up from last Monday's chest/calves.

Leg press calf raises: 300 x 30, 415 x 25 + 2 FR x 2 sets, 415 x 25 + 2 FR + 5 partials

Incline db press: 45 x 20, 70 x 11 + 1 FR, 75 x 8 + 2 FR, 75 x 7 + 2 FR **last week did 65 x 8 - granted it was last lift, but still felt stronger**

Peck deck flyes: 115 x 25, 190 x 10 + 2 FR, 190 x 10 + 2 FR + 5 partials **up 30 lbs from last week - not fst7 style this week so less sets and may have gone a tad less than failure last week but still way up**

Weighted dips: bw x 15, 25 x 2 FR x 3 sets **about same as last week, never done dips so lookin forward to my progress on these**

Flat db bench press: 50 x 18, 75 x 7 + 2 FR x 2 sets **same weight as last week, but was first set then... Still did just as much to end this lift**

Idk what else to say but I'm already lovin his run brothers! Thanks for following!

[kubes]

Your training is showing it brother. Keep it up

[Authentic_Elf]

Didn't want to quote the pic, but nice bicep insertions! Nice and high!

[benoit23]

Thanks brother!


Didn't want to quote the pic, but nice bicep insertions! Nice and high!

Appreciate that! Always been told I have a nice "ball" look to my biceps ... They peak nice, idk if it's the lifts I do or just genetics but glad either way haha

[Authentic_Elf]

Thanks brother!

It's the insertion points I think, the way your peak sits. Definitely jealous, I have long-ass biceps that seem to take forever to grow.

Won't lie, I have no clue what insertion points are :( I feel dumb lol

[Authentic_Elf]

Just where the muscle attaches to the bone via tendons and ligaments ;)

[benoit23]

Hmm good to know ... When I think "insertion point" my mind instantly goes somewhere much lower than the bicep lmao

[grademan]

Looking good brother

12/9 - 1ml nano (split dose am/pm) - actually forgot to take this before heading to work and as ocd as I am, contemplating going back to take it and just working from home for the morning (forgot my udca too smh), 4iu hgh

Weighed in at 175.4!! Eclipsed that 175 mark wahooo!! Feels good to still be gaining. Upped my dose of Exem to 12.5ed. Started to kinda feel like i was getting that "coning/puffy" look ever so slightly to my nips, barely sensitive to the touch, but that is the LAST look i want so hoping to knock that out. Also read up on some stuff by MIKE A and saw that i should be splitting my exem dose based on its half life so will be taking 6.25 am and 6.25 pm ... will keep monitoring and if doesnt help bump up to 25ed for a bit ... Hoping that the GP Exem I have is legit, always heard good things about it ... if that doesnt help may pick up some IMR exem and start running it and get some letro to have on hand as well (shit its always something in this game costing money right?!)

Legs workout tonight that starts with FST7 style sets on squats O_o going to be a killer for sure http://dionysuslabs.co/community/images/smilies/smile.png

[kubes]

I think you will find 12.5 mg Ed to be enough. I know a few that need 25 mg Ed but they are very estro sensitive. During my heaviest cycles 12.5 mg Ed keep me in good shape

[benoit23]

Yeah I feel like it should be as well. Just hopin this geneza pharm exem i got is gtg... seemed all the reviews state it is so hopefully bumping it up will help ... not really feeling having to buy new product but if i end up having to guess i end up having to ... I need a second job for the weekend lol

Almost all lift are up from last leg week and can't remember if I mentioned my jeans feeling tighter on my thighs but my legs are DEF growing. I went tanning after and I almost actually freaked out when I looked at my legs in he mirror because they had such a pump and almost looked deformed. Id never seen them like this. Tried to get a pic, but kinda hard to do so below is the best I got. Had veins runnin all over them! Have always hated legs day but this was fun, could barely walk out of the gym... Felt like I had blown up balloon animals for legs :)

12.5 mg Ed is a pretty common cycle dose. Some need even more but12.5 should do the trick

Seated calf raises: 215 x 40, 305 x 30 x 2 sets

Leg press calf raises: 350 x 40, 415 x 35 x 2 sets

**calves are really coming along and starting to see some nice definition in them ... Especially along the inside curve ... I typically just do straight on, but is there a foot position best for getting that horshoe look to them? If that makes sense**

Incline db bench press: 45 x 18, 65 x 8 + 2 FR x 2 sets

*had to use dbs because only one incline barbell bench at my gym and people just got on it ... Wasn't about to kill my flow and wait around ... Weight is less on this than last time because it's way farther down in workout, still felt strong tho for being last lift**

Added in a few more exercises just because I wanted to really fatigue the muscle and I feel like chest day has less lifts than every other day in this program idk why... But added these today at the end...

Low pulley cable flyes: 30 x 20, 50 c 8 + 1 FR, 40 x 12 + 2 FR

Db pullovers: 40 x 20, 60 x 10 + 2 FR x 2 sets

That was a wrap for today. Was pissed I forgot to dose my nano before the gym lol and had to take it after. Probably doesn't change shit, but I like the placebo effect lol anyways still felt great and lovin this run!

[studmuffin]

Good looking workout Brother.

[benoit23]

Appreciate it. Will def feel it Wednesday!

[kubes]

Try hammer strength bench with a spotter to force extra reps. I used to be big into bench press and now I haven't done it in years. Free weight dumbbell Fly's really helped develop my chest as well. I always go heavy on them after hammer chest

My gym doesn't have a hammer strength machine [emoji31][emoji31][emoji31][emoji85][emoji85][emoji85] it suuuuuuucks!! But I believe db flyes make there way in at some week soon, if now I'll add them as an extra at the end like i did today ... I like them too, love the stretch ... Especially on incline

[kubes]

Really no hammer strength? That's become a staple at just about any gym now. Sorry brother. Add those flys it will be worth it

[benoit23]

Really no hammer strength? That's become a staple at just about any gym now. Sorry brother. Add those flys it will be worth it

RIGHT?!?! this gym is only $10/mo tho and for that cheap it literally has everything else I could possibly want ... they are opening a new one across town that has some new equipment and likely will have hammer strength along with an incline leg press ... may have to venture over for chest and leg days ... im just such a creature of habit and dont like having to adjust to new weights, as we know even the exact same machines at different palces based on how old pulleys are and stuff can feel different ... makes it hard to track progress when switching ... would def like to add hammer machine in tho ... see a LOT of people utilizing it these days

Ok brother you can't beat that

Great left today and legs had great pump, but damn experienced some crazy aggression I've never felt before. Everything was pissing me off, which was nice because I took it out on the weights, but was weird to me cuz that's not like me at all. Almost at the end of week 3 for this test C so maybe that's starting to really kick in or idk what it was but made the mistake of going to Walmart after already in a bad mood and legit had to talk myself down at one point and have a little moment lol ... Weird stuff, never experienced that.

Knocked out some fasted hiit cardio at 4:30 am (just for you Kubes) and now sitting at work day dreaming of this back workout tonight! :)

[kubes]

Nice brother you are gaining weight and staying lean! Good work friend!!

[benoit23]

Nice brother you are gaining weight and staying lean! Good work friend!!


Will try to post up some updated pics this weekend ... dont want to be gaining too fast, but this is after even dropping my carbs by about 70g and better placing them in my day (aka pre/post workout) ... removed them from my first two meal so that when i run fasted cardio with yohimbine in am it gets the most benefits and body continues to use fat to burn until 3rd meal when i add carbs ... hoping it will help keep me lean ... i stalled and even dropped for about 2 days when is tarted this but since monday have gained 3 pounds now ... also monday i switched back to aromasin 12/5 ed instead of 25 ed i ran for 4 days ... debating switching back to running it at 25ed since i didnt have any sides (no joint pain) and i felt like it helped my nips that felt ever so slightly sensitive ... could just be me freakin out but the slightest thought of gyno freaks me out

[deathstar]

No offense but you're a really small guy. I wouldn't even suggest aas for you to use yet. I personally wouldn't even start till I was around 185-190lbs at your height. And I definitely don't think you need to run 800mg a week... you're a small guy that's overkill.. my 1st cycle I ran 300mg a week of teste and went from 185 to 205 fairly lean after pct and like 4 inches shorter than you. .. I'm just saying I would wait a little bit longer if I were you to get everything down... I see it too much that people get on too early and become dependent on gear.. and the only way to make gains after that is just keep uping your doses. I personally don't think it's the right way to do things

[benoit23]

I appreciate your input brother. Just know that this is something I put TONS of research into and have had assistance/menotoring the entire past 6 months in building my cycle and everything around it from a VERY trusted veteran, someone who I trust very much ... I realize everyone has varying opinions, but I feel I have done this very safely and planned out way more than most do when it comes to cycles.

[deathstar]

But in other news sicks tats and it looks like you're coming along great man.. congrats!

[benoit23]

bastard is startin to peel haha hate that part of the process

[deathstar]

Yeah it looks like you have a pretty solid plan for your cycle. Coming along great.. I was giving my personal opinion. .. I came from gh15 and everyone their only does how to get bigger with more gear put in their body

[benoit23]

I really do appreciate any and all feedback, i LOVE to learn and hopefully as you can see based on my plan thoroughly research everything ... also just to let you know that 800mg may not even happen, if gains are stil going as well as they are now will likely just stick to 600mg and not up it at all

[deathstar]

Haha peeling sucks.. how much do you plan on paying for the entire sleeve?.. the tattoo guy I know said to drop like 40lbs so my sleeve would be cheaper haha

[benoit23]

i am going to a VERY well known guy up by chicago that has won over 130 awards, so im paying a hefty price, but to me it was worth it for an entire sleeve ... he is 200/hr so by the end it will be around 6k for the entire thing ... im just amazed by how incredible his skills are... so much detail ... so to me its worth it

12/18 workout: abs (light)/back

Decline reverse crunches: bw x 20 x 3 sets
*these are WAY more difficult with 25lbs added compared to doin them at 155, I feel for you big boys ;)*

Decline crunches: bw x 20 x 3 sets

Oblique pushdowns: 100 x 20 x 3 sets
*love these, got them from Doc Stoppani, way better than the ones were you grab the pulley up top and bend*

Seated rows (wide grip): 115 x 30, 175 x 12 x 2 sets, 180 x 10 + 2 FR, 185 x 10 + 2 FR

Wide grip pull downs: 115 x 30, 175 x 13, 190 x 10 + 2 FR x 2 sets

Reverse grip pull downs: 115 x 30, 175 x 13, 190 x 10 + 2 FR

Back extensions: 45 x 15 x 3 sets

Wide grip pull-ups: bw x 9 x 3 sets

*safe to say I felt like a little bitch barely able to do these pull-ups at the end when I'm already spent, not to mention again the added weight seems like they're sooooo much heavier than 155 haha*

Overall, another great lift. Man, I fucking love throwing around weights. Love having a mentee under my wing too and seeing him become more addicted each lifting session. Good feeling giving back (and having a spotter for those forced reps ;))

[kubes]

Nice training session bro.... Add in some close grip pull downs or close grip rows next time ;)

[benoit23]

When you say close grip pull downs do you mean with a vbar attach? If you mean with the regular wide grip bar but underhand hats what I call reverse grip above and they are close grip, if not I think week 6 I switch to the vbar ... Same wih the rows ... First two weeks were close grip, now wide hear next two, then I forget what weeks 5 and 6 are

Yes the vbar and you could always do reverse grip as well

Shoulder/calves workout:

Oh and random thought I realized during my pwo meal ... I had to actually remind myself to breathe it felt like haha I was shoveling the food down so damn fast ... Just me or nah?

I am sure you did but your body cannot hold that low of bf. It's always going to be a bit of a yo yo getting that lean. You can hold between 9-10 but your body will fight you and slow the metabolism being lower than that. It's just the nature of the game. Realistically being leaner then that isn't very healthy but 9 is still pretty darn lean

That is certainly something I have came to realize running this first ever bulk. Despite not having my abs (that part sucks) I just feel so much healthier ... If I had to guess I'm around 12-13% right now maybe, starting to lean out some after the initial water Load on ... Can't wait to cut back down to that 8-9 range and see the difference with 20 more pounds. I was told the first run is a special one so I've been giving it my all to make it just that.

Excuse my ignorance, what is this nano of which you speak?

Excuse my ignorance, what is this nano of which you speak?

It's a PH from the UK (similar to M-Sten if you've seen that) except it is nano particles and much better absorption as as stronger. Stuff has far exceeded my expectations for a kickstart.

Looks good brother and yeah i wouldnt worry about the eating for those days. You just are not going to put on fat that fast. If anything it will probably speed up your metabolism and promote more fat loss ;)

12/29 workout: calves/chest

Okay just an fyi, so my first 4 weeks of my workout routine are in the books and this starts week 5 where I cycle back thru them ... All I have to say is check these chest numbers compared to my first workout I posted of the same lifts. Dio, I could kiss you for these massive strength gains already. I even shocked myself this workout.

Flat DB flyes: 30 x 20, 50 x 10 x 2 sets

Low Pulley cable flyes: 22 x 12 x 3 sets

Push-ups: bw x 12 x 3 sets

I cannot believe how much my strength is already up just into week 5. Already way beyond impressed with this Dio gear and lovin every damn second of my lifts.

Looks good brother. I really like those dumbbell fly's they really helped develop my chest. I usually do 5 sets right after bench as heavy as i can go for 10 reps each set. Been hitting 65lb dumbbells and i want to get those 70's soon :)

[benoit23]

Yeah I just added those in because I especially like the stretch you get from them I go nice and see and slow (I know I know). 50s are a struggle at the end but grinded them out and a nice stretch to end the workout.

You ever get a deep tissue message? I do it about every 90 days. It gets all those toxins out of your muscles. Makes you feel kind of sick for a day or so after but then you feel amazing
