I've been running Sust now for just over 12 weeks, and the results speak for themselves. I love running gear and wish I could go for a while longer.

The only time I don't pin myself is if I'm injecting my right rear delt because I have trouble reaching across my body and shooting with my left hand. As for hitting the glute, I just look in a mirror, stay still and pin myself, never really thought too much about it. I would shoot your quads until your comfortable with needles, it's not a big deal once you do it the first couple times.

Good luck with your cycle when you do it.... There are some really great resources/advice on this board, keep reading up on everything.

I knew someone who gave a shit was going to ask this question lol.

I'm planning on running the Sust for another 2 weeks, then running Prop @ 100mg/day for 3 weeks until the Decanoate ester gets out of my system, and then starting my post cycle therapy (pct) 4 days after my last injection of Prop. I'm also going to be adding some Oral Winstrol (winny) @ 50mg/day tomorrow and running that until the end of my cycle.

So its going to end up being a total of 14.5 weeks of Sust and 3 weeks of Prop... a little longer than I wanted, but I figured that a typical cycle is actually 2 weeks longer than most people make it seem (the 2 weeks wait period), its not all that big of a deal.

As far as the diet has been going, everything has been going great. I never had much trouble sticking to a diet as long as I changed up protein sources periodically and once a week I have a cheat meal. My strength hasn't completely shit out on me yet, but I have seen a decrease in my overall muscle endurance. The leaning out I've noticed is well worth the drop in weight and endurance. I don't want to lose too quick, but at this pace I'm going to be sporting the 6 pack real soon.

Thanks for the info Milk - Looks like its going to be a good cycle for you. You will be lookin real tonk when the summer hits. i just finished a 6 week cycle of Winstrol (winny) with my clen/cyto - It was great - seemed to help me miantain lean mass while still dropping BF. (I had to get the BF under control before i added and pounds!) Looking forward to the progress pics.

i wouldn't have recommended the Winstrol (winny), but hey as long as you were able to keep the muscle mass, thats what counts

*did DL's in the middle of my workout because I forgot my belt and I didn't have the energy to do them first, and I didn't feel like being shot for the rest of my back workout

I also had a GREAT cheat meal today at the bar I work at. It was 6 Buffalo chicken wings, a burger with wing sauce, and 2 Bud Lights. I really needed it, not only for my mental sanity, but my body was starting to feel drained a bit. And I still managed to have a "lower carb" cheat meal than I would have thought I was going to eat.

kcals: 2859
fat: 76 grams (24%)
carbs: 150 grams (21%)
protein: 386 grams (55%)

Day 88

Weighed in at 244... down another 4 pounds in 5 days. Losing it a little too quickly now, I'm thinking about cutting the cardio back a little bit. I'm not too sure what to do. I did 10 days of cardio in 12 days of cutting today, so I think I'm going to take another day off, and do something like 2 days on, 1 day off with the cardio for now on.

Day 91

30 minutes of Cardio on the Stationary Bike (~9.5 miles)... I had to cut my cardio session short because of time restraints this morning (had some reading on the computer I had to do before class)

Feeling kinda drained throughout the day, I think its a combination of cutting of carbs and overall calories, interrupted sleep, and cardio. My strength is still there for the most part, but muscular endurance has definitely been on the decline.

Still waiting on the Thermorexin to come in and I'm getting pretty excited to see how thats going to work for me.

had a 2 hour baseball practice and an intramural softball game today

Milk-man! Looks like things are going well for you - it's great that you are watching the diet so closely - I recently fell off the wagon for a weekend of parties (complete w/ bday cake) and gained 3 lbs.... So it's good that you are concerned w/ loosing it too fast. It definately takes a wile to get your energy level stabilized when you cut down the calories.

Keep up the good work, man!

Keep up the good work, man!

the weekends of partying are generally what do it to you.... being in college I know all about binge drinking and the effects it can have on your body.

I have a Staff Party on the 16th, complete with all you can drink top shelf liquor, every beer imaginable, 30 minutes of all the shots you can drink, and gourmet homemade food... I'm going to have to hit the cardio really hard the day before that, and make sure I take in plenty of Milk Thistle to help my body recover.

Day 93

35 minutes of cardio on the Stationary Bike (10.33 miles w/ a higher resistance than normal) ... I'm an asshole and couldn't get out of bed, so I had to cut the cardio by 10 minutes.

the hippies at my school don't understand what a Squat Rack is used for, and let alone what a REAL Squat is... it's really fucking annoying
