Lol. Blessing in disguise though, now I have justification to blast gear for the rest of my life

Whoops, thanks for pointing that out

I was hoping youd also fix hypogandol

Hypogandic? Hippo gangrene

Hey well you decently lean, so I’d say a great starting point. Looking great for 5 weeks in! Kill it man If I had one thing to critique it would be to drop the fat and increase the carbs! I know everyone is different but I think it’s easier to stay lean when you keep the fat under 80-90.

I'm guessing being on 500mg is your blast. No mention of what your cruise is so I'm guessing 200-250 around a good trt.

No coment on that from me. I try not to talk cycles in intro. As mentioned cut and paste all your intro into the log area and go forward from there.

6 foot 2 at 210 didn't expect that much mass. So you certainly have what it takes. Arnold was your height and competed just 30 pounds heavier.

Unless bulking for a reason I would suggest trying to cut on the blast and maintain muscle and fat on cruise. Just because it is easier. You are still a little soft. Perhaps 16% bf. Someone with a better eye may get closer. I like to hover round 10% and winter maybe 15% where you are now.

Keep up the good work.

 

[kvothesq2]

Yezzir 500 is the blast and you're spot on with the cruise (200). Cut and paste complete

Thanks man I appreciate it. Good to know I might have solid genetics. Starting my cut next week actually so I'll post updates on the proper thread

Cool. Cut slow and feel how your body reacts. Keep a keen eye on your presses. The amount of weight you put on the bar and reps should keep increasing on a blast/ cut. If you are getting weaker ease up on the cut.
You have this by the nuts. get every last drop of growth out of it. No excuses to miss a workout or meal.

Looking good man! And welcome!

I merged your threads for you.

Was confused af for a sec lol

That's convenient thanks

Don't get the 500mg and 16-20 week first cycle thing. Back in the day we ran 10-12 week cycles, and made great gains on 300-400mg a week.

since you are on TRT I would run two 10 week blasts with six to eight weeks on a 200mg cruse, that if the blood work is good between blasts. You will get better gains and lower side effects IMO.

3500-4000 calories

you may choose to decrease calories and slow down the per week weight gain.

At a 250-500 surplus with a 1-2lb weekly increase, excluding the weight surge from water weight at start. Starting my cut this week though

 

[eazy]

Starting my cut this week though

your plan was to eat at a surplus for 5 of the 20 weeks

then eat in a deficit for weeks 6-20?

Very valid question lol.

Was bulking for 7 weeks before my cycle, usually switch it every 10-12 weeks. Going to cut till I drop a few %s, then go back to bulking.

Added bonus is I hear I'll still be able to gain strength/mass on the cut, so I'm excited to try that out. Very different from the process off cycle

what? Bulk for only 5 weeks and then immediately cut for weeks 6 - 20.

Please make that make sense... what is the point?
