Summer cycle log! Pure Essence, Peptide Warehouse, and Euro Pharmacies

[DylanGemelli]

Today I have decided to do some tweaking to my diet. I was eating around 2700 calories m-f which are training days and roughly 2400 calories on Saturday and Sunday, which are off days. I will now be reducing my calories to 2400 for the entire week. I'll be keeping a close eye on this and I'll slightly reduce my cardio through the week if I feel like I'm losing too much. If this all goes well I plan to drop my calories by an additional 150 in 2 more weeks.

I'm just curious.....why the change? Has fat loss stalled any? I'm not disagreeing with your change, but I'm a firm believer in keepIng as many calories in as possible while still maintaining the desired fat loss rate. As things slow that when you would want to make changes. I'm making some this next week myself by increasing my cardio sessions by 15 minutes, cutting a little more carbs, and losing one cheat meal per week, but that is only because I haven't budged on shredding up any more in the last couple weeks really

I wouldn't necessarily say that it has stalled but I wouldn't mind a slight increase. The biggest reason for the cut to the calories though is because you and I talked about my IF diet and that's what got me thinking about making some changes. The only changes I made were ones you said sounded like a good idea. I am planning on cutting out my fruit smoothie post workout which is roughly 250 calories and I've also cut out the slice of pepper Jack cheese that I was eating, which was 80 calories. Plus with being on the sarms I'm interested in pushing it a little, slowly, to see just how low I can go before it's too low. You know sort of experimenting and trying to learn my body. I've never really went on a real and successful cut, in the past I always just ate very small amounts and did tons of cardio. I lost a lot of weight but as you can imagine it wasn't good weight. That was years ago though and since then I've just always ate at maintenance and above. This will be a good learning experience for me and after a week or two if I feel it's too low, I'll adjust the calories slightly. If you truly don't think it's a good idea, I won't push it. In about 5 weeks when I start the test portion of my cycle I plan on taking my calories back up to maintenance.

I like the changes... REGARDLESS though, if you do decide you need to get more calories back, that's great but still lose those two items you dropped... replace them with some far cleaner and you will still cut bro... perhaps so wheat bran/oat bran, or more veggies, shit even 8 oz. of fish or chicken etc. would still not equate that many calories... tuna, greek yogurt etc... something far cleaner and you will notice a big difference regardless... that extra 300, while not an abuncance of calories, still holds A LOT of merit especially when they are not the cleanest type of intake...

Since I'm bored at work and basically sitting around waiting on my next meal and the time to pass for me to go lift tonight, I thought I would share my diet. The last couple of posts were in regard to my diet, so I thought maybe some that are following along might be curious.

I have a pretty simple diet, I eat the same thing everyday at the same time. I know this is boring to most but it's what works best for me in keeping me on track. I am noticing big time today that my work pants are trying really hard to fall off of my ass, lol. The same pants that about 4 months ago I thought I was going to have to request a bigger size. For those of you that don't know already, I do IF. I do a variation of the 16/8 because of my schedule. I do more of a 15.5/8.5 15/9. With that said my diet is as follows.

12pm breakfast-40g organic oats made with 16ozs unsweetened almond milk with 1 tablespoon of organic crunchy peanut butter, 16ozs unsweetened almond milk with 2 scoops of protein. 860 calories

230pm lunch-10ozs grilled chicken breast, 3ozs steamed broccoli, 2 tablespoons whole foods honey mustard. 344 calories

430pm preworkout-10ozs grilled chicken breast, 1 avocado, 3 tablespoons of whole foods black bean and corn salsa, 1 tablespoon house of tsang spicy szechuan sauce, 1 cup of brown or wild rice. See the recipe section for my recipe on this. 765 calories.

545pm-8pm workout

830pm post workout-10ozs grilled chicken breast or 8ozs 99% lean ground Turkey, 1 cup organic baby spinach, 1 cup mixed asparagus, red pepper, yellow pepper, onion, 6ozs baked sweet potato, 1 tablespoon earth balance sweet cinnamon organic culinary spread. 538 calories.

This comes to a grand total of

2500 calories
241g protein
194g carbs
89g fat

I'll be dropping my fat by about 10 grams this week because I have a new iso protein coming in the mail in a day or so with only 1-2 grams of fat and the protein I'm using now has 10-12 grams of fat. Well, that's it, I'll update after my workout tonight.

I think dropping those fat grams down by 10 will help a lot. I try to avoid those proteins with the higher fat content all together for that reason. If you are cutting 10g of fat per day that's 90 calories and can really help over the course over a week or two. That's how small differences can equal big differences.

Yea man, I completely agree. To be honest, when I bought my current protein, I didn't even look at the nutrition content because I was so pumped from the hype surrounding the trutein protein that I just wanted to try it. I was slightly disappointed in it but this time I bought some iso from the same company that makes trutein.

it was the flavor you selected bro... i think you said you were eating the red velvet cake... that is literally the worst one you could pick for macros although the best tasting... most are the normal ratio but a few of the flavors are not... you must ALWAYS read EACH flavor nutrition because they are all different... some of the best flavors not only have higher fat but also sodium etc... always check that but trust me, most of their flavors are right where they should be on the chart...

Yea, I will not hesitate to increase my calories if I feel the need for it. As of right now, I'm actually getting quite well since I've lowered the calories.

Today is the first day that I'll be on a lower fat protein. Believe me, I always look at the nutrition facts of protein when I buy. However, this time I just didn't care because I was so pumped up to try the trutein I didn't even think to check it until I already had it. I think switching to an iso protein is going to do me wonders. I am leaning out like crazy as it is.

I didn't get a chance to update my log last night because I was rather busy. I actually haven't spent much time on here the last day or two because I've been relentlessly house hunting. I had a pretty great workout last night. I worked chest and triceps using moderate weight to hypertrophy. I completed my entire workout in 40 minutes because I literally barely tested between any sets. When I was done I had a killer pump.

After my weight session I killed some cardio. I did 60 minutes and 5.75 miles on the elliptical. It said I burned 700 calories. 40 minutes of that was hiit and the other 20 minutes was a warm up and cool down all on resistance 5. I shaved some time off my mile last night, I was averaging about 9 minutes a mile during the hiit portion, so I'm really pumped about that. I am absolutely getting lean as hell and my weight is staying around 273-275.

Tonight is back and biceps, I can't wait. It's probably my favorite group to work. I'm going to take another dose of the pure essence viagra tonight and see how it does me with more realistic expectations.

Another note; I upped my S4 dude to 100mg yesterday. So, I'm going to have to pick up some more bottles before I run out.

nice work brother... trust me, just switching the protein will lean you out even more considering the difference in macros on it... im really proud of your results and they are only going to continue... you are well on your way brother... you will be down in the 260 range before you know and still have A LOT of size and strength...

Thanks my man, that means a lot. I'm actually really looking forward to the switch. I didn't like the way that red velvet made me feel after I drank it. Bloated and supper tired, I'm pretty sure it was giving me a hell of an insulin spike.

So, I've been feeling under the weather the last couple of days. I skipped cardio Monday because I felt nauseous, then late last night I started to get a scratch in the back of my throat and then today I had a full blown head cold/allergies, not exactly sure which. The air quality around here has been piss poor to say the least and it seems that everybody has something similar to what I got going on. With that said, I still beasted my workout. I warmed up the back by doing 3 sets of straight arm push downs then followed that with 3 sets of one arm cable lat pull downs. Then I went on and did 4 sets of pendlay rows using a wide grip all the way out to the plates than did 4 sets of pendlay rows using a narrow grip. Next I went on and did 3 sets of barbell curls with 135# for 6 reps each followed by standing dumbbell hammer curls 3 sets of 10 with 65# dumbbells. I finished off the workout with 3 sets of dumbbell shrugs to failure and 3 sets of 1 arm shrugs on the smith machine to failure. All in all it was a good workout but I was beat.

I was disappointed in my cardio tonight, however. I was only able to do 17 minutes of hiit tonight because I just could not breathe. For whatever reason whatever it is that I have going on kicked my ass while I was trying to do cardio. I did end up doing 40 minutes on the elliptical but unfortunately most of it was just low intensity steady state cardio.

Just to update anyone that might just be joining in and don't want to go all the way back through this, I'm currently running pure essence lgd at 10mg everyday, S4 at 100mg everyday, GW at 20mg everyday, and proviron at 75mg everyday. I'm also currently cutting and eating 2500 calories per day. When I started I was about 15-16% bf at 285. Right now I'm sitting at 273 and just by guessing I'd say I'm about 13-13.5% bf. I'm not the best at judging bf but my top 2 abs are visible, my upper chest has nice separation from my delts and I also have clear separation in all 3 heads of my delts and from my biceps. I carry all my fat around my lower mid section and legs. One thing is for certain, I'm looking pretty good for 273#.

I have 5 weeks left and I'll be adding in my test e and tbol, I absolutely cannot wait.

bro, im sure you are aware of this but those that are not... that's a huge fucking change in such a short amount of time... seriously... those are sick results and your not even done yet...

some of my best workouts have come when i have been sick because you end up pushing harder but remember to not push too hard either or you only set yourself back further... one thing i have learned as i have gotten a bit older and wiser is to just take the day off... i HATE doing that, trust me, but ultimately, you are doing yourself a huge favor... i take those days to just sit in the sauna and sweat it out... just watch it because if the air quality is poor etc. it will only make things worse on yourself... NICE WORK brother...

Yes, I would agree that I've had great results but I was deep in on a cut already when I started this cycle. Like I said, I'm not the best at gauging bf, so I'm merely just guessing. No one in their right mind would consider me fat in today's society but by bodybuilding standards I'm still fat but well on my way. Also, like I mentioned my shoulders are popping with cuts between all heads and they are starting to separate from my biceps. I'm going to take updated measurements this weekend.

I do seem to have some sort of disorder though. Almost like what I would imaging those that suffer from anorexia have. Some days I look at myself and I'm like holy cow you are looking amazing and getting so lean! Then other days, I'm like damn you look like a bag of assholes man are you fat. Lol, you just can't ever be happy in this lifestyle, I literally crave results.

I'm also currently cutting and eating 2500 calories per day. When I started I was about 15-16% bf at 285. Right now I'm sitting at 273 and just by guessing I'd say I'm about 13-13.5% bf. I'm not the best at judging bf but my top 2 abs are visible, my upper chest has nice separation from my delts and I also have clear separation in all 3 heads of my delts and from my biceps. I carry all my fat around my lower mid section and legs. One thing is for certain, I'm looking pretty good for 273#.

I have 5 weeks left and I'll be adding in my test e and tbol, I absolutely cannot wait.

bro, im sure you are aware of this but those that are not... that's a huge fucking change in such a short amount of time... seriously... those are sick results and your not even done yet...

some of my best workouts have come when i have been sick because you end up pushing harder but remember to not push too hard either or you only set yourself back further... one thing i have learned as i have gotten a bit older and wiser is to just take the day off... i HATE doing that, trust me, but ultimately, you are doing yourself a huge favor... i take those days to just sit in the sauna and sweat it out... just watch it because if the air quality is poor etc. it will only make things worse on yourself... NICE WORK brother...

Yes, I would agree that I've had great results but I was deep in on a cut already when I started this cycle. Like I said, I'm not the best at gauging bf, so I'm merely just guessing. No one in their right mind would consider me fat in today's society but by bodybuilding standards I'm still fat but well on my way. Also, like I mentioned my shoulders are popping with cuts between all heads and they are starting to separate from my biceps. I'm going to take updated measurements this weekend.

I do seem to have some sort of disorder though. Almost like what I would imaging those that suffer from anorexia have. Some days I look at myself and I'm like holy cow you are looking amazing and getting so lean! Then other days, I'm like damn you look like a bag of assholes man are you fat. Lol, you just can't ever be happy in this lifestyle, I literally crave results.

bro i live that every day... i live with body distortion, struggling with eating etc... its part of it... i look in the mirror and find flaw after flaw after flaw... things noone can see or understand but we are our own toughest critics... that's part of being hungry for more and part of the desire to achieve... it get's hard but you are mentally strong and you can overcome anything... i do it every day and its far from easy but you can do it...

Re: RE: Re: Summer cycle log! Pure Essence, Peptide Warehouse, and Euro Pharmacies

So, I've been feeling under the weather the last couple of days. I skipped cardio Monday because I felt nauseous, then late last night I started to get a scratch in the back of my throat and then today I had a full blown head cold/allergies, not exactly sure which. The air quality around here has been piss poor to say the least and it seems that everybody has something similar to what I got going on. With that said, I still beasted my workout. I warmed up the back by doing 3 sets of straight arm push downs then followed that with 3 sets of one arm cable lat pull downs. Then I went on and did 4 sets of pendlay rows using a wide grip all the way out to the plates than did 4 sets of pendlay rows using a narrow grip. Next I went on and did 3 sets of barbell curls with 135# for 6 reps each followed by standing dumbbell hammer curls 3 sets of 10 with 65# dumbbells. I finished off the workout with 3 sets of dumbbell shrugs to failure and 3 sets of 1 arm shrugs on the smith machine to failure. All in all it was a good workout but I was beat.

I was disappointed in my cardio tonight, however. I was only able to do 17 minutes of hiit tonight because I just could not breathe. For whatever reason whatever it is that I have going on kicked my ass while I was trying to do cardio. I did end up doing 40 minutes on the elliptical but unfortunately most of it was just low intensity steady state cardio.

Ya bro- I think just about everyone that's into bodybuilding can understand what you're talking about here. "I'm not lean enough, I'm not big enough, am I losing mass, etc,etc." Remember you are only competing w yourself. Keep putting in the effort w your diet, supplementing, and training and you will only keep bettering your physique. It's a marathon homie. Good work!

Yea, I figured if anyone would understand it would be the fine folks here at AR. It's a struggle but it's all with it. It's just crazy how I can walk around and feel fat and small and then go out and see people I haven't seen in awhile and they are just scantily blown away with how I look. I guess it's a good thing having this issue because it keeps us hungry for more.

Tonight was the almighty leg day and I destroyed that shit. My strength was up big time tonight. I crushed my numbers from last week. It's starting to feel really nice eating 2500 calories getting leaner and finally starting to get my strength back up. I started off tonight with 2 warm up sets of squats and then I did atg 275x6 290x6 305x6 315x5 and 325x3. I know they aren't huge numbers but considering a month ago I would shake at the thought of those numbers, I'm rather impressed. I followed that up with 4 sets to failure of Romanian dead lift, then 4 sets of hack squats which I went up in weight by 50 pounds tonight. Usually, I'm about ready to pass out by halfway through hack squats but not tonight, I was ready to workout for another hour if I would have let myself. I finished up the workout with 3 sets to failure on the leg press.

I ended the night with my normal cardio session. I did 45 minutes and 4.5 miles on the elliptical with 35 minutes being hiit and the other 10 being a warm up and cool down. Usually, on leg days I do steady state on the treadmill but since my cardio had slacked a little this week and I was feeling good, I decided to finish off my wheels with the elliptical.

I was so hungry when I got home tonight after my session, which is weird for me because I usually have no appetite after working out. So, I added 1/2 cup of black beans to my dinner and had a double chocolate rice cake, I think I deserved it, lol.

its strange that those days just occur out of nowhere.... i have that happen where some days i just forget to even eat because im busy and not hungry and then out of nowhere i'll have one where i literally wake up hungry and just stay like that all day... its very strange but it happens out of nowhere but your body is trying to tell you something when that happens so although you should not stuff yourself, you should still take care of what its asking just like you did... great work!

Yea, I do get like that every once in awhile, especially when I have an intense workout like I did last night. I don't think a 1/2 cup of black beans and 1 rice cake hurt me at all, lol.

Preparation is 3/4 the battle.

 

[ibleedoranbla]

Here are a few progress pics of my back. As you can see, I still have some unsightly fat on my lower back. I also have extremely wide hips, which do not help my aesthetics.

Preparation is 3/4 the battle.

 

[ibleedoranbla]

Well, they can't all be winners. Tonight was a very mediocre workout. I just didn't have it in me tonight. I'm actually pretty beat up from last night's workout. I finished my workout nonetheless and I did make some minor gains but overall the workout was just very sluggish and just never felt right. I ended the night with 50 minutes of steady state cardio on the treadmill because it was all I could muster up the motivation for. I'll take the next two days and recuperate and hit it hard again on Monday. I have a big day tomorrow, I'm going to look at about 5 houses. Hopefully I get an offer in.

yes, some days are just that way brother but pushing through is what its all about, just as you did... you have made HUGE improvements from your pics bro... NICE work! good luck with the house hunting... that can be more draining than your workout, trust me!

Yes, some days are just tougher than others. I have a motto though, there is no such thing as a bad workout as long as you worked out. I gave it all I had tonight, it just wasn't my night.

Thanks, I'm definitely getting leaner and more of things are starting to pop out, I just wish my lower back and stomach would follow suit.

I believe you about the house searching. I've already looked at so many online that I feel like my head is going to explode. I finally have it narrowed down to 5 and I'm going to look at them all tomorrow with my realtor. I have high hopes I'll be putting an offer in tomorrow.
