Firstly nice job getting that much activity in throughout the day.

Next Careful with those Fitbits and watches. I googled how much the calorie burn is off as I wore a Fit it religiously. 27% I did the calculations and it checked out in reference to my calorie intake then, had I went with the watch I would've been in way too.much of a surplus. Hopefully yours is better and correct just wanted to let you know because there's a lot.of people that have struggled losing weight because of the watches.

Lastly I'm curious how old are you? I know reading you first posts you had said about when you were 32 but it sounds like that was in the past.

Got to talk about the Grateful Dead trail, psychedelics', and edible experiences with the cousin's boyfriend, and boy howdy has he led a life of intrigue! Great time had by all, and then the trip home pretty well burned up the remainder of the evening.

Weigh-in this morning puts me at 220.5 Lbs, cut seems to be moving along (though, we're still waiting on a few ingredients).

I see you have tried to figure out the universe and how it works too haha

Man I wish I could put it into words but there just isn't the right ones. It's like how do you describe something others can't see, but you all feel, yet at the same time is everywhere all at once. But i digress as I can stuck on this subject for days, I'm very fascinated how things work so trying to pick something that big apart takes a lifetime haha.

Yesterday was more of a typical work day, nothing too terribly exciting. I did, however, get some certain components for this cut, and so it's on!

Feeling a little sore in my back today, and so weight addition for squats will be slowed from +5 lbs per day to +5 pounds per week. Don't wanna risk another back injury (since I'm just coming off of one last month). Years of working shitty retail with little assistance to move those huge-ass plasma TVs left me with one major injury from my youth(ish), and so now near once a year I end up with a stiff and sore back for a week, and roll back my training to give myself a chance to recover. Had been doing much higher volume too, but that was part of the growing plan, and so now we're just trimming the fat

EDIT: Also, the more research I'm doing has lead me to believe that 2x EQ to Test might yield better results. I think I'll still start small 1=1 EQ and Test, and if sides are minimal/nonexistent, then I'll bump up from there. I'm more of a minimum effective dose kinda guy (when I can be sensible). Weighed in at 218.7 Lbs this morning.

Your ability to drink coffee all day is amazing to me haha. Doesn't affect your sleep I'm guessing? I'd be up all night.

I like the minimum effective dose approach, I follow it as well. Ive found the ratios of compounds also only really means anything when you get out of the dose range of just using gear and start abusing it. Then it matters far more because of the sheer androgen load and abnormal amount of aromatization taking place. Maybe your experience with this is different?

I really like EQ, many say run a minimum of xxx amount usually throwing out a number like 500mg or something absurd. I've ran as low as 200mg/week and felt it working within a week or 2. So just be careful with the info you're fed and use best judgment. Only you know exactly how you feel and what's going on with your body. Excited to see your cut cycle and diet.

Just to give an idea of the 255 to 225 drop, here's a highly censored photo of me, before and after (255 left, 225 right):
