By the way milkD those are some good numbers on lifts. Especially being 6'3 and having long limbs.

Honestly, I'm glad you came on here and talked to us about your cycle. This is incredibly well thought out, you have all the necessary ancillaries on hand, and you're going to love it. I think your decision to go ten weeks is responsible and a good one now that I look back on my original advice (I really like long cycles, so I'm kinda biased)

I also have to comment on how impressed I am about the quick little tidbits of information you gave us about your diet. Most people tell everyone that their diet is perfect, etc but you were honest about how it needs improvement.

Keep up the good work, train hard, eat big, and grow even bigger. I'm very excited to see your results.

Day 2

Thanks MilkD, I want to try and be as informative as possible for all those in my position.

Workout-Chest/Tri's

-Incline dumbell bench (few sets until I feel warmed up) 125/10, 140/8 (needed help on the last one), 150/5 (needed help on the last one)

-Decline Straight Bar 225/15, 275/12, 315/10 (needed help on last two)

-Close-Grip bench press 225/10, 275/8 (needed help on last two), 315/3 (needed help on last one)

-Incline skull crushers with cables & traingle bar 220/8, 240/8, 250/8

Superset Peck deck/Dips
-peck deck 250/10, 265/8, 280/8
-dips BW/12, BW/12, BW/12 (I usually add weight when I do these by themselves, but a little pressed for time so I superset them)

I woke up at 1030 and hit the gym at 1130 so I only had tiime for one meal before and PWON (post workout nutrition) so far today. I will be at work until midnight so I have plenty of time to catch up.
160g Protein 100g of carbs so far today. Probably gonna use dinner as my cheat meal this week, maybe some chicken fingers or something.

I am feeling good today. Was about as strong as I usually am which is surprising because I only had one meal in me, but I did wake up and have a carb/protein shake in the night. I think just knowing the extra test is in me has giving me a sense of well being. Like bad ass well being. The only down side to all this is I love it when people use to think I was on roids and I knew I wasn't. Kinda took it as a compliment....it's all good though. I have thought about this long and hard and feel Gear is going to help me not hinder me.

Until next time.......

Good workout today, felt super pumped. Already got asked if I have gained wait since two weeks ago...huh weird. Not trying to be all self promoting or any shit like that, but some lady came up to me and said I reminded her of the guy on X-men that turns into metal. Getting compliments always makes you feel like all the hard work you do is worth it.

Diet has been on point today

350g of protein and 400g of carbs so far today. Still have two meals left (mainly protein and fiber)

Overall great day for me. My wife is having our baby this week sometime so if there is a few day lay off you will know why.

As leanbody would say Later Bro's

Day 9

Well I am back from my little vacation and I got my son. Pretty Awesome experience.

So I haven't had any training since Wed. My son had to get taken to the ICU so I have been at the hospital by his side this whole time. Really itching to get back in the gym.

So I pricked myself wed. before my leg workout and the next day my quad around the injection site absolutely killed. I knew nothing was wrong, but was in some serious discomfort. Anyone had this happen? Is it bad to inject then workout with that muscle?

I had my 3rd Test E shot 250mg on Saturday night, felt good. I am always better at injecting on the Right quad then the left.

Diet has been horrible, just trying to eat everything I can at the hospital.

Well Hopefully I can hit it hard tomorrow!

Thursday-Sunday

So on to the sucky part of my holiday weekend. Headed out to the grandparents house so they could meet Jax. My uncle is the high school baseball coach so I was thinking sweet he'll have a key to the weight room and I'll be able to lift. Well he had a key alright, but when I went to workout the key did not work. We found out the Football coach changed all the locks so no one could workout in there if he wasn't there. That pretty much sucked balls.

So today I was able to kind of let my pent up frustration out on a good back and Bi workout. Oh ya my diet was terrible all weekend. I ate enough, but def not the right stuff.

Monday-Back/Bi's

-Barbell low row's 315/10 365/10 405/8

-Close-Grip pull ups BW/15 (hold for 20s) BW/15 (hold for 15s) BW+45/10 (hold for 12s)

-Seated straight bar curls 135/8 145/7 155/6

-wide grip Lat-Pulldowns 250/8 250/8 250/8

-Superset Close-grip seated rows/hammer curls 220/8, 70/8 220/8, 80/8 230/8, 100/8

So the workout was going great but I did have to cut out one thing for biceps because my vision started to go blurry and then I lost my peripheral vision. I knew at this point I was getting a migrain and needed to take medication and lay down to sleep it off. Felt like a girl, but still had a good workout.

Diet was great today until I had to lay down and sleep for 4-5 hours. So I missed PWON and the next meal after that. We'll see if I can make up for it.

Oh also last night 250mg test E right quad. Shot on Sunday instead of Sat because I didn't want to bring all the gear to the grandparents house.
