This is going to be my log will be updating weekly with new bf measurements and weight aiming to get down to around 7% bf by the end of cycle and get to around 117kg

Stats
Height - 6 foot 6
Weight - 114kg (250lb)
BF% - 10.23%
parillo caliper method: Chest - 9mm, Abdominal - 21mm, Thigh - 12mm, Bicep - 5mm, Tricep - 9mm, Subscapular - 9mm, Suprailiac - 5mm, lower back - 9mm, calf - 16mm

As you can see bf looks low although still holding to much fat around the abs

Cycle will be as follows:
- 150mg eod test P for 6 weeks (injection spots are glutes and quads)
- .5mg ed liquidex week 1,2,3,4 followed by weeks 5,6 .25mg ed and week 7 .25mg eod
- Might do T3 4 week taper 5%/40%/55% biggest thing I am concerned about is once i come off if my thyroid takes a while to kick start my prolactin will increase, i still have a lump under my left nipple and puffiness and i was thinking of changing liquidex to letro to try the reversal protocol but ide say I will just get it cut out at the end of summer its only 600$ and its not very noticeable atm. (Opinions on t3 would be good)

Getting bloods done on the 15th if all is good I am going ahead already purchased everything ready to go start date will be around 23rd

Kind of a skinny fucker, eh? :) You're built a lot like me -- a lot of these measurements are right inline with mine (incl height; nice to see!). I think the diet is great, although I have to wonder why you're going with egg whites instead of just the whole egg. Since you're carb cycling, why do you care about the extra fat? Fat is good for you. I like your training, in general, too. Personally, I would do some cleans too, but that's just me. No deadlifts?

Really looking forward to this. Good luck, post the bloods if you get a chance.

Haha ye was super skinny few years back grew first filled out after. Wish i could put photos up my build doesnt look all that skinny now quite broad in the shoulders with a skinny waist.

When I carb cycle the main intention is to manipulate leptin production so smashing down fish oils through the day will help a lot but i mean the average egg yolk has 2g of sat fat and a few essential amino acids isnt very valuable to me, insulin is my friend but i would prefer to source good fats.

Movements like cleans and deads i can't do. I have facet degeneration in my lower back and I want to look after it as much as possible and really lets be honest i don't think us tall people are designed all that well for deads need short legs long arms.

Hopefully the bloods go well my start day is around 11 weeks after my previous cycle but with how things went down toward the end of PCT ill be suprised if everything is back in balance so a bit soon but i have a photo shoot 4 weeks after the hopeful start date so be good to have it kicking in around then and hopefully be around 8%
 
I feel the same way about deads. Kind of use it as a mesaure of improvement over time, but I'm addicted to cleans. gl!!
 
In regards to cycle length I have chosen a different approach to most, I know of a few people doing it and they love it although biggest flaw is have to run short ester juice so fequent injections.

Basically I like the idea that I will have 4 weeks of good solid gains, mitigate side effects and my hpta is shutdown really for only 5 weeks meaning better recovery with less time on so I will do 6 weeks on 6-8 weeks off, with less gains it should be easier to maintain in comparison to 8 weeks where i have 6 weeks of solid gains, longer recovery and longer period off the juice, my first cycle was enth at only 350/mg a week my gains were 11kg or so and i maintained 8-9kg of lean muscle mass with a reduction f bf% due to increase in lean muscle mass and minimum increase in bf so the ratio of fat to lean muscle changes to show i dropped like 2% of bf but 1st cycle gains are far more easy to maintain because the bigger i get the more i am going to struggle to fuel my body with calories that are clean.
 
Got bloods today only chance i have for the new couple weeks, will post up results in a few days when i get them... Bit early I would say my test will be quite low but should be interesting
 
350mg/wk is super mild, and to have gained 11kg is great. seems like this cycle might be a little mild? why aren't you going to 12 weeks?
 
Had first shot yesterday fair bit of pip feels like day 1 of my first cycle all over doing right glute tomoro then quads for the next 2 shots which i am not all that keen on but want to rotate my sites a fair bit...

I got my bloods back my doc said they are all good my cholesterol levels are very low my HDL's could come up a fair bit probably so low due to lack of cardio, also estrogen and total test/free test are all good but don't have the figures though spoke to my doc on the phone next time i go in ill get all the numbers for everything and punch it in...

Going to incorporate cardio in to my week of a morning so i get up have a protein shake with water 2x oxyelite pro tablets and get some xtend to sip on just do moderate intensity cardio for 20 minutes or so a few times a week just to try and kill this stubborn fat on my stomach.. this may hinder my gains a bit but im not to bothered my main intention is to cut and just maintain as much muscle as possible, did a leg workout 2 days ago and got 360kg out 8 reps so quite happy with that and benching 110kg for sets which is a bit low but meh, not going to push to hard strength wise while cutting don't want an injury.
 
This pip is crazy i have done 4 shots so far L & R glutes and quads and the pain has been pretty crazy possibly too much BA in the oil which is fuckin me over, anyways its day 7 and my libido has increased a fair bit so hopefully i start to feel the juice soon
