nice work.

so you're after post cycle therapy (pct) already? how long did your post cycle therapy (pct) last? how much strength did you lose on bench press, squat and deads (rack deads and stiff leg, in your case) ?

i must say, that your transformation is an inspiration for me. that's because our physiques, numbers lifted and lifting philosophy were very similar (although i am shorter and ~50pounds lighter, but body proportions are pretty much the same).

i had (and still have) enough of being big, strong and fat, now it's time to get lean and strong.
your thread shows, that it's possible to change physiqe in a way i want to without sacrificing strength.
you did a great job, congratulations.

I think I took the post cycle therapy (pct) drugs for about 3 weeks. If you want any specifics on the dates of post cycle therapy (pct), or numbers lifted it's all here, just a lot of info to sift through. I always lose the most strength on my bench after coming off, I believe I got up to 11 reps of 315 and now I'm doing 8. #'s on deadlift variations are actually up right now, which I think has more to do with me being motivated than anything else.

Thanks for the compliments, I'm happy my log has benefited you in some way. I'm curious as to what you mean when you say our philosophies of lifting are the same?

go heavy or go home

i don't see a reason to lift a weight, if it isn't heavy weight - there was small argument about this earlier in this thread .

 

[ManOfMuscle]

I do love being strong.

Can't stop logging workouts... I'm going to have to start a natty training log.

 

[ManOfMuscle]

Started up a natty training log. Thanks to everyone who participated in this one.

Why does it look like this was moved when it wasn't?

 

[ManOfMuscle]

Oh looks like it was moved. Well that was stupid. Thanks Stonecold. Glad I'm done with this log.
