It certainly raises some eyebrows
I still remember when I first flat benched I could only do the barbell 5 times.

Day 21
A much needed day of rest. Can't wait to get back in the gym tomorrow and start throwing up new maxes.

Hahaha yeah. 2. Looks like u are making the most of this cycle. Got your diet going too? Eat plenty, but eat clean. Lots of chicken breast complex carbs , tilapia or salmon.
Go for it bro!

You're gonna make me blush lol. By the way, I'm going to add clomid to my post cycle therapy (pct) after reading some of your posts about it. I was initially scared off over the internet hysteria of blindness until I read the doses those guys were taking.

I'm as boring as it gets when it comes to food. Just chicken, salmon, tuna, other kinds of fish, turkey, occasionally beef, oatmeal, brown rice, bananas, eggs. I don't really have a sweet tooth anymore so it doesn't bother me.

Day 22
Today is the start of supergrowth phase in my workout program. The rep ranges are now lower on all days, 3 minute rest between sets, 3 sets each exercise.
I can already tell the weight is going to start flying up now. I ended up pyramiding up on all exercises trying to find my new rep range maxes.
Edit: shot right quad today. Went in smooth and painless.
Workout
Lat pulldowns
BB incline
EZ bar curls
Seated calf raises

Day 23
I'm already way past my old rep range maxes for these exercises from the last time I did this program, and that was the peak of my strength. I had another painful lower back pump after squats which sucks, but I'm almost done with the dbol.
I ran into someone I haven't seen since college and he was in shock to see how much weight I've put on. When I knew him I think I was ~200-210lbs. Always nice to get that hype from someone in the past.
Workout
BB seated press
Close-grip decline
Squats
Ab wheel

Planning to start next Monday. I'm working on getting my meal plan in order. Still debating whether to workout on a 5 days split or 4 days split...
My cycle looks like this:
Weeks 1-12:test E 500 mg/ 250mg twice per week
Weeks 1-4: D-bol 40 mg/ED
Weeks 1-12: Aromasin @ 12.5 mg ED
Weeks 3-12 Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) 250 iu/every 4 days
PCT:
Weeks 1-4:clomid @ 50mg/day
Weeks 1-2:Nolva @ 40 mg/day
Weeks 3-4:Nolva @ 20 mg/day
What do you think?Based on your experience, Should I modify anything?
Keep the good work up bro!

Looks good to me, but your pct is starting 2 weeks after last inject right? I know a lot of guys on this board go with aromasin but I went with arimidex. You can run your Aromatase inhibitor (AI) tapered off the two weeks after your last inject. Some guys suggest using it through PCT like balboa. I would go with a 5 day split as long as you're staying on point with rest and meals. I'm not really into split routines anymore but to each their own. Are you going to start a log?

Day 24
I woke up this morning with immense pain in my right quad in the front. Initially I thought it was from squatting the day before, but then I realized I pinned my right quad on the outside on Sunday so it can't be a coincidence right? I'm thinking I hit a nerve and it only now started acting up. I had trouble going up and down stairs without my knee buckling out on me. Right now it's definitely better than before so maybe just walking around helped. Either way, it's subsiding so I'll just take precautions and use the stationary bike to warm-up before squatting again.
I forgot to go to the other gym today. I threw up the 120s for an easy 10 reps on my sets of bench. Kind of mad at myself because I wanted to try for 140s. It was still a good workout though.

DB bench
DB row
Calf press

Day 25
My leg is much better today. I was afraid I pulled or even tore my quad so I'm glad it was just a nerve. I shot my left glute today. I have less pain from shooting glutes than quads, but I have a hard time keeping a steady hand when I reach back there. I'm waiting on 25 gauge to come in so I can try pinning my delts.
I'm very close to maxing the leg curl machine so I'm thinking of switching to glute ham raises or something. I got all the reps on hanging pikes today but they're much harder since I've put on weight. I like doing them on the thick bar to train my grip while I work my abs.
It's getting harder and harder to kick up the DBs for seated presses now that the weight is going up. At least on incline presses you have some give with momentum to help. Right now it feels like a power hammer curl. It would be nice to have a reliable workout partner again to help out.

Day 26
I had major strength increases today on all exercises. I don't know how much longer I have until I max the lat pulldown machine which is good and bad because I like the angle I can target my back compared to pullups. I'll be hitting 315 for 7 reps on the incline soon. I really want to get that next wheel on the bar. I just feel really massive right now lol.

Hey VM,
Thanks for your advice. Yes I am aware that PCT will start 2 weeks after my last injection. I never thought of tapering off on aromasin, but it is a good idea that I didnt think of. Will cut the dosage in half or will do that gradually for the two weeks before PCT.
wrt the workout routine, I am still not sure of what to do. Havent done a 5 days split before, and not sure if doing the 4 days split that I do now will be optimal for during the cycle!!!
You seem to be following a different kind of workout that changes phases? What is that like?
