Yeah I’ve only been one one before today. I got an package for 10 sessions for $450 so 45/hr. I’m gunna try to go for a few weeks straight and then maintenance. I need it bad.

That's a good deal. I would space the sessions out for 5 weeks. It should help your progress. I need to book a package as well. Regular massage helps with my strength and keeps my muscles firing properly.

Weight hit the 202 mark again today! Pretty happy that I’ve been off the drol a week now and I initially dropped 2 of the 8 lbs but now I’ve gained those back. Now to keep the scale moving. Hopefully I can somehow shove in my cals Friday - Sunday without having my meals. I’ll do my best. Pancakes for sure will help lol

Work then finally free. Rest day and headed to the race Friday and Saturday!! Been too long I can’t wait. Techno stage for two days straight!

After a day of drinking tons of water , protein cookies, subway and some pizza and wings, I was back to 200.6 this morning. Dead tired and work is going to be a BITCH! Going to be so behind.

Starting week 6 of the DHB and test E. I wanted to go get bloods this morning but I don’t think I’ll be able to get away from work. May have to go Wednesday or Thursday. Plus I also just took my shot this morning now that I think about it. So Dee Wednesday or Thursday morning now.

Better to wait 48 hours or 72 after split injection?

Assuming I’m not dead and just wanting sleep, it will be chest later after work.

 

[Fitraver]

Thanks man!

 

[Fitraver]

Morning bros! Weight still exactly at 200 today. Been stuck at 200 over a week now even after upping cals. Guess it’s time to get up then again.

You guys think I should add them to my post workout meal and just make it massive? It’s already about 1200 cals I believe. Or should I just add another meal an eat every 2 hours vs 2.5. I’m looking to add about 5-600 cals I think.

Work for me then gym fast before taking the little one trick or treating.

Happy Halloween!

 

[Fitraver]

Adding protein to my intra workout drink and also food to my pwo meal starting today.

New macros are: 405P, 656C, and 131F for a total of 5492 cals per day now [emoji33]

 

[Fitraver]

Thinking about adding some npp and tbol the last 6 weeks of this bulk to really make the most of all these cals I’m eating. In addition to the test and dhb I’m on.

Thoughts from people who have ran those two together?

 

[Fitraver]

Morning guys! 200.2 today. Will be headed to get a full panel of bloods here in an hour. Hate that it takes a week to come back but really interested to see how my cholesterol and liver values are on this one. I think my test should be good to go.

I decided to fav myself a bottle of npp that I will be adding in as soon as it comes. Hopefully very early next week and run for the last 6 weeks of this cycle. Dose will likely be 350-400/wk.

I also decided I think I will be going with var as my oral just because it’s what I have on hand and I won’t hve to spend money for something else.

Work then arms later.

Let’s see this fucking weight move! At 5500 cals a day now.
