Friday the 8th April, day 46

Weighted in at 185.8 pounds. The arm is fine but still not going to go all out today. Noticed that recently the libido has not really been up to par. I have therefore decided to drop the aromasin and see how it goes. I am also thinking if the aromasin could be causing me this soar and painful throat issue. No side effects so fair, that means no acne or itchy nips.

Tuesday the 12th April, day 50

Just half way in with the pins so technically half way in on the cycle. Not really happy with the last 3 weeks as I wasn´t able to excersise as much, have pain in the throat and hurt my shoulder and to top it up I have been bed ridden with bad flu for four day or since Saturday morning. Seems to be getting better and I am gonna go back to work and hit the gym tomorrow.

Libido is much stronger since I dropped the Aromatase inhibitor (AI), will monitor for any acne and see how it goes. The Aromatase inhibitor (AI) has also I believe given the benefit of a much dryer look, no moonface or looking bloated.

Better get better and crack this into a higher gear now!

Had a few days of over a long bank holiday weekend. Went away and spent the days walking in the country side with the missus and the dogs and resting in the evenings.

Went in the morning to a doctor and got a course of antibiotics as this cough was still bothering me and really getting on my temper.

Had bad endurance, started coughing midway through sparring sessions but managed to recover and continue at a slower pace

Tuesday the 17th May, day 84

Weighted 186.2, 12 weeks done so far. Still very stiff in my side obliques, so I took yesterday off. But after todays training I feelt alot better for it. Did my weights a bit lower than before so I could feel out better where and what this pain and stifness is comming from and why. It is very tender to the touch. I wanted also to focus on the form to get the max workout of every muscle involed in the deadlifts.

No side effects to report! A tiny bit of spots on the back of my shoulders, much less than from my first cycle and not on the same spot. I had a few spots on my yest a few weeks ago as you might see on the photo but these came after I had a chest wax and have since gone.
