Notes:
Weight a has been staying between 255-257. Decided today to add another 500 calories into the diet so I’m sitting at 3500 calories a day now. Feeling very strong and joints are feeling good. Minus the minor screwup this morning. I’ll make up for the skipped leg day don’t worry.

Cycle:
400mg of test cyp/week
450mg DHB/week
25mg Inj Anadrol every day (toying with the idea of bumping this to 50mg)

How do you like the drol at 25mg daily?
What sites are you using ED for this bad boy?
 
Nasty's getting nastier no doubt...keep this train rollin'!
 
How do you like the drol at 25mg daily?
What sites are you using ED for this bad boy?

I loved the drop at 25 mg daily after about 4 weeks I’ve been pondering bumping it up to 3/4 of a cc every day instead of half. I’m still feeling wicked strong and my lifts are improving for the most part weekly. So i actually have been swapping between my delts and my biceps. I was super afraid at first in my biceps but after some YouTube videos and lots of reading i went for it. And it wasn’t nearly as bad as i thought or as bad as when i tried to pin my lats.

Notes:decided to just destroy my legs today and not throw in any upper body movements. Something about a heavy squat day that makes everything so much better haha. Damn cold weather takes me a bit to get my joints warmed up though. If there’s one thing i learned from my two pec tears it’s don’t half ass your warm ups haha. I think it maybe time to step away from bb squats for a few weeks and maybe focus on hack squats or belted squats to try and change it up though.

Been following this bro. You're a beast.

I have a few things to comment on and a couple questions I'm hoping you can address.

-First off, your training style is quite interesting and unique. Overall it seems like a lower-med volume routine with an average of 2 sets per exercise. I'm a firm believer that less is more to an extent, even on gear. I've never been one to spend multiple hours in the gym each day destroying each muscle group with countless sets. I also like that you hit your muscle groups in different ways each session. For example one day you'll do upper body with high weight, then the next time you'll do upper body with low weight and just go for pump. I think that's a good way to go about it because each method has its own benefits for growth.

-Secondly I'm shocked that you'd pin pecs before you pin lats or biceps lol. In my experience pecs are excruciating to pin. Even pinning peptides with a short slin pin I get serious pain and often hit a nerve or something painful in my pec that jolts me. I've tried all angles too. Biceps and lats are super easy for me. With biceps I just use a slin pin and with lats you can go as deep as you want and pretty much hit it at any angle because it's just one big muscle with a lot of surface area. Also quite painless.

Questions

-Were you running anything before this cycle? Or were you off/cruising beforehand?
-Could you post an example of your daily diet and macro breakdown? (just one example, not asking you to post it daily)

Thanks bro!

Thank you for the fees back brotha!
-Yeah so it was my first time training with that style and I’ve decided as of last week to go back to my pull push leg split. As much as i loved the lower volume i felt like i was bouncing all over the gym and the workouts took me a while. So now I’ll be doing heavy the first three days and volume for the second set with Sundays off.
- i don’t necessarily mind biceps but pinning my pecs helps me actually get a better mind muscle connection to both my pecs because I’ve torn both of them and have only had one reconnected so far. Thanks to the “wonderful” PT i had i was basically left worse than when i tore my pecs for training my chest. I tried lats one time and ended up with a gnarly lump for a week or so.
-As far as before this cycle i had been on a VERY long cruise like since February or March before my injury. I know it’s not that long but it felt like a long time lol.
- i can definitely post my diet. Thank you for the feedback bro! Much appreciated!

I generally don’t take 3 rest days straight but was supposed to take a fitness test for a job i applied for and wanted to play it safe and rest up to make sure i was well and good for Saturday. Unfortunately i showed up and got Dq’d because my medical physical was 6.5 months old.

I can honestly say I’m absolutely in love with the injectable A-drol i don’t think I’ll be back to orals any time soon.

I'd call that a positive lol. Especially since Anadrol is known to decrease appetite due to stomach/gastro issues. Being able to bypass that with injectable Anadrol and maintain or even increase your appetite is a huge plus in my opinion.

12/11
So usually Saturday is my fun longer leg day where i destroy myself with lots of pause squats and volume. This Saturday i ended up destroying myself a little different haha. A few other veterans and myself decided to strap on some plate carriers and see who could finish a “Murph” first. Mind you I’m 262 pounds so running is NOT my cup of tea anymore. The entire workout took me an hour but the leg wobbles were in full effect.

12/12
Much needed Rest/cheat day or as i call it “Fat Kid Sunday” next time I’ll try to take pics of the food. I have a terrible habit of inhaling my meals.
 
IML Gear Cream!

11/16 rest day
Unfortunately got caught up in some shit so i had to take an unplanned rest day. Went to my parents farm to help out turned out they had a calf that had breeched and died. They needed help getting the calf out so the mother could live. Definitely made for a rough night took about 2.5-3 hours to finally deliver the calf. Definitely was not an easy “rest day”

12/18 push day

185x15
185x13
185x10

Leg press
(Work up slowly to a weight that is a pretty tough 10,then do a cluster set with 20 seconds break in between)
15ppsx 11 rest 15ppsx 10 rest 15ppsx 8

Leg Extension
(do 1-2 feeder sets to get the feel of these, and then do 1 hard set of 12 reps holding for a 2 second squeeze at the top. On the 2nd set, do a cluster set)
125x20
135x20
205x12

195x12
205x12 drop 185x14 drop 165x16

Note:
Even with the shoulder and back not feeling the greatest j managed to have an insane pump and still felt pretty strong. Thinking about adding more food to my pre workout meal though I’ve noticed about 1/2 way through my workouts i can barely focus I’m so damn hungry.

Looks like it’s veal for dinner tonight boys…
 
12/21-12/26 rest days

I never usually take this much time off especially in the middle of a cycle. But i went to a physical appointment i had with my primary care which entailed blood work, where i was made aware that my CPK levels were elevated very high again. The doctors were worried that my body is not recovering or that my kidneys are still not functioning optimally after a tough bout i had with Rahbdo back in February. I had some blood work done on Friday in so today i should be getting the results fingers crossed everything checks out. If anyone has any tips on some natural supps to help out my kidneys I’d definitely appreciate some input.
I hope everyone had a great holiday, and crushed some great food though. Time to burn off those extra calories and get back in the gym and move some heavy ass weight.
