Magic, I actually train at the ****ty fitness firsts ladski... Back in Aus they are awesome, so when I arrived over I joined not knowing that they are small and have average gear :( now I am to lazy to change gym memberships so I just keep plodding away there for now.

Looks like I be back in Aus for good by November this year anyways but I will be sure to keep posting on this site it ACE ;)

mickus how are you taking the tbol? all when you wake up?

just wondering whens the best time to take it, ive heard best to take all of it early in morning as it coincides with your natural test levels....

mickus

dom, I split mine into 3 dosages of 30mg before bed, 30mg when wake up and the 20mg at 2-3pm also take 2 capsules of milk thistle with each dosage to lessen the strain on my liver...

Still no sign of sides except for I am noticing some shut down already, nuts are getting harder and a bit smaller... Positives strengthes maximus and getting leaner and harder

jjb1

my fitness first is massive i think its one of the best around from what ive seen,i too was supprised when i seen some of the other ones

hope all is well with yer cycle

AFternoon all,

Well just quick update on where I stand with cycle and training...

Today I finally trained legs afer a year lay off due to a back injury :(

Weighed in at gym at 107.5kg so still at same weight as weeks prior...

Training was as followed:
(no laughing at my lifts I no there a little but i need to take care with my back this time, dont wanna make the same mistake ever ever again)

Dead lifts
3xwarmup sets of 15 reps with 30kg,40kg,50kg
1xworking set of 60kg for 8 reps
(no stamina with these lifts at all)

Smith Machine Squats
2xwarmup sets of 15 reps with 30kg,40kg
1xworking set of 60kg for 8 reps
(I am so weak in legs and lower back these were all a struggle)

Standing Calve Raises
2xwarmup set of 15 reps with 20kg,30kg
2working sets of 12 reps with 60kg
(these were the easiest of the entire work out)

I no this is only a very small leg and lower back work out but the tightness I can already feel is a sign that its enough and I am sure that by tomorrow I will be walking like some one has had there way with me LOL

Training on Wednesday is Chest and Tris, I am hoping that my shoulder wont be playing up and I can go a bit heavier than I have been since the injury....

mickus

All I got to say today is dam I am sore, god dam legs ouchy wowwa LOL I am walking like Mister T had his way with me :(

mickus

Morning yall!!!

Well lads the course if progressing rather smoothly I must say, I have noticed that this time the cycle has given me even less sides than the first time. Moods are normal as and aint had a single spot nor have any other sides rared there ugly heads and considering the dosage I am on I must say I am rather happy with the way it going...

I have been doing cardio for 45 mins with ephy mon wed fri though next week I am hoping to change that to mon to fri every morning and try to get this BF to drop away some more ;)

Yesterday I trained Chest and Tri and had a good work out considering my right shoulder still aint 100%

So training was as followed, I am still lifting light as I dont wanna cause any further injury to this shoulder or make the healing process and longer than needs to be...

Its impossible to compare lifts as I have changed my workouts so much since starting this cycle due to my shoulder playing up!

I could easily have gone alot more on all my chest exercise but once again I rather scared of doing permanent damage or even prolonging the damage

Chest

Incline DB
3 warmup sets of 20 reps using 14kg,18kg,22kg DBs
1 working set of 10 reps using 30kg DBs
(These lifts are still down was using 36kg DBs but shoulder wont hold)

Flat DB
2 warmup sets of 15 reps using 22kg and 24kg DBs
1 working set of 12 reps using 32kg DBs
(This lift is also still down was doing 40kg DBs but once again shoulder)

Cable Cross Overs
2 warmup sets of 20 and 15 reps using 20kg and 30kg on each arm
2 working sets of 12 reps using 40kg and 50kg on each arm
(These are same as week prior but I was using alot strictor movement)

Triceps

V-bar Push Downs
2 warmup sets for 15 reps using 40kg and 60kg
1 working set of 12 reps on 80kg
(This was same was last week but it was way to easy)

Kick Backs
1 warmup set of 15 reps using 6kg DB
1 working set of 12 reps using 10kg DB
(Same as last week but I am performing all exercises with better techniq)

Reverse Grip 1 Arm Push Downs
1 working set of 15 reps on 20kg

Rope Push Downs
1 working set of 30 reps on 40kg
(Add this to try and get more pump going, it worked)

I have had to drop weighted dips due to shoulder not feeling right on the downward movement so once again really hard to compare lifts when I aint doing the same exercises as I was before I started the cycle...

I was lazy and skipped abs as I was scared of dropping a turd in my pants while doing crunched LOL not something you wanna do at the gym..

Ello Yalll...

Update time on cycle and training, weighed in today at a steady 108.5kg again or roughly 240lbs

The girl made a comment that I am looking alot tighter and trimmer, always good to no your hard work is paying off slowly...

I had been feeling a bit off over the past week or so and finally found out that eggs that I have been having for lunch have been giving me the shiits literally and make me feel like absolute garbage so from now on its no more eggs for me :( sucks bad cause I already hate all types of sea food, so its down to chicken and steak and lamb to get my daily intake of protein...

I have split my back routine into lower and upper, today I trained lower back with legs and abs. I am still taking it very easy with lower back and legs as you no I had a very bad back injury late last year.

Training was as followed

Lower back and Legs

Dead Lifts with Barbell
3 warmup sets of 15 reps using 30kg,40kg and 40kg
1 working set of of 8 reps with 60kg
(Same as week prior)

Smith Machine Squats
2 warmup sets of 12 reps using 30kg and 40kg
1 working set of 8 reps using 60kg
(Same as week prior)

Seated Leg Curls
2 warmup sets of 12 reps using 49kg
1 working set of 8 reps using 70kg
(First week done these since back injury last september)

Standing Calve Raises
2 warmup sets of 15 reps using 30kg and 40kg
1 working set of 12 reps using 70kg
(This lift is 10kg up week prior)

Abs

3 sets of straight leg lifts using standing frame for 15,15,12 reps

So these lifts have not increased much from week to week but I could go alot more but Ihave that worrying thought of blowing my lower back out again! Slow and steady is the moto I will be sticking to when training legs and lower back...

I gotta give credits to people who can squat and deadlift a good weight I am finding Im so much more exhausted from just this little work out than from any of the upper body work outs I do!!!

Well thats it for me

Mickus over and out
