Short update today work has me swamped but I haven't been too stressed to train. I've stuck to my plan and trained the days I was supposed to. I'm getting soreness in my back that I've never gotten before. The first back day is heavy nothing above 10 reps with a muscle round set to finish then the second day is high reps nothing below 12 reps with a muscle round set to finish and tomorrow (the third day I'll go back to heavy. I'm slowly feeling the affects of higher dosages. Add some weight with no loss of conditioning so most likely water weight. Libido is increasing, that is one thing that I've always been able to use as a good barometer for test levels. I'll get estrogen tested in 4-5 weeks for sure and possibly Testosterone level too.
 
Everything is running very smoothly so far. I'm on my 2nd week of the current blast cycle. One thing I've noticed and always hated was the knot in the muscle from the oil after injection. I always want to minimize this whenever possible. So I decided that when I add in EQ at 5 weeks I'm going to switch to a 3 times per week injection schedule. I also dislike feeling like a pin cushion but I dislike the knots in my muscles more. You always have to do what's best for you. Some guys have no issue injecting 3 ccs into one muscle group. I prefer not to go over 2 ccs. Since these are long esters I really could do 2 or more injections and keep a good baseline. This sport is all about individuality don't be afraid to buck the norm if it works for you. Gonna do my best to post up current macros and tonight's back workout tomorrow.

Quick update I went out this last weekend and really lived it up. I don't normally drink or party but decided it was time to have one of those nights. Man did I pay for it. Ended needing an extra day to recover. Getting back on plan and trying to make progress today.
 
Everything is back on track and moving in the right direction. I have no idea how people can do that on a weekly basis. Training has changed a bit I'm still hitting back 3 times a week but now my chest days also include lower body. I took this exact strategy from fortitude training. 1st day is legs in the 6-12 rep range, 2nd day 15-25 rep range and 3rd day us Muscle Rounds. Then you repeat. It's still a low volume high frequency approach. I'm also adding in 4-7 sets of adductor. My main goal for this training cycle is back mass and adductor mass. If I can add those it'll make a big difference to my physique. I'm still on 600 test cyp and 400 deca from PSL for another week before I add in EQ. Really looking forward to seeing what EQ is like, I've never ran it before.
 
Had a productive weekend getting things done and hitting the gym. Trained with some clients and had an overall good and productive time. But hit a snag once the work week started. Stress from work and some personal issues are looming so the last couple days have been off. Didn't get in my intended macros and taking an extra rest night tonight. I plan to get back on plan tomorrow and hit back in shoulders Wednesday and Friday. It's a long off season gotta take some me time too.
 
Everything is still going smoothly, this week I start adding in 200 mg of EQ. I'm currently sitting at 249 lbs. This is the leanest that I've ever been at this weight and I'm probably lifting my heaviest ever as well. I have check ins tonight so hopefully I can post some update pics tomorrow. I've been crazy busy at work and even took work home for the weekend. I had to readjust my meals because I was missing calories due to time constraints. We'll have to see if the new strategy works. Also hoping to get some time to go a little in depth on a BB topic this week if I have the time. Other than that enjoying my off season and the results I'm getting from PSL gear.

So coach is happy with my check in pics. Getting a little better of a v-taper. The focus is still on back and adductor mass. Also I made mistake this week I added in 300mg EQ. So total weekly is 1.3 grams of PSL gear.

Today I wanted to speak a little bit about gym drama. Maybe it's just my spot or maybe it's any gym that you are a regular at. But you get to know people and you see their lives change around them. I've always done my best to not speak ill of anyone, even when you see low down stuff. It's not my business so keep it moving. Then some people love to share the gossip they heard. It's all so fun because you would think people in this sport would be adverse to judging others because we get judged so often. I do my best not to, if there's no innocent victim let everyone live their preferred life. Treat the gym like a tool to forge your physique not the end all be all social event.
 
Things are rolling smoothly. I'm doing 3 injections a week. Each injection is 200 mg test cyp, 100 mg EQ and 150 mg of Deca of PSL gear. Really liking my results tgat im getting. Sitting at a good 251, my leanest 251 ever. Getting in 4-5 workouts per week it is off season so if I miss one I won't freak out because life does happen.

Nationals was last weekend and I saw a friend and fellow gym goer get his pro card. I'm very happy for him and it stoked my fire. I've watched him grind year after year. He has good genetics but isn't one of those guys where it comes easy to him. To see that really gave me hope that it was possible for me. With continued effort, work and consistency I could get to his level. Then once I'm there leave it up to the judges. Gonna put up some PR numbers tonight in the gym I can already feel it.

looking really good there, thanks for sharing!
 
Now that the holiday is over its back to the grind. I took an extra rest day on Wednesday had a bit of a headache and fell asleep for nap after work. So I listened to my body and relaxed. I even did a good job not over stuffing my face. I'm pretty sure I didn't go that far above my usual caloric intake. Yes the macros are completely off but one day won't do any damage. I made sure to tell my clients to enjoy the day as well. Now I look forward to tonight's back workout, shooting for some new PR'S. Whatever it takes to get this back to grow.
 
This weekend didn't go as planned. I felt very tired on weekend. Which usually means you me that I'm getting sick. So instead of pushing it and actually getting sick I took 2 extra days off. Some might say it's overly cautious but to me it makes more sense to be preventative then does to be reactive. So tonight I plan on getting back on the right track. It's deadlift day so a great time to get back to pushing the limits.
 
Got back on track the last couple days. Adjusted my training plan to better fit my current life instead of chasing a plan that wouldn't really work for me. Now my minimum is 4 days per week of lifting with more volume on my back days. If I can get a 5th day in I'll do back a 3rd time with low volume. I noticed that 5th day was getting very difficult to make it to recently, so instead of feeling like I failed each week I made adjustments. This is key in bodybuilding whether it's adjusting for life, recovery or whatever it may be, you have to do what works best for you. Now I haven't adjusted my cycle that is still showing me good results on growth and leanness. PSL gear at 200 mg test cyp, 150 mg deca and 100 mg EQ 3 times a week. My largest cycle ever. I had to switch from Nolva to arimidex this week because I started getting nipple sensitivity and felt like my estrogen was probably getting a little high.
 
The new change to training seems to be working currently. It's only been a short amount of time but I already feel better about how the schedule works. If I make the 5th day great if I don't I just grind hard on the 4 that I do. Hit a new PR last night on deadlift 365 lbs for 14 reps. My goal is to pull 600 lbs for 2-3 reps before my next prep. So I'm on my way. A max chart I use has my current 1 rep max in the high 500's. Gonna keep on my basic incline towards all of my goals. Hopefully I won't hit too many strength plateus over the next year.
