Good work keeping the food clean and consistent. The chicken wrap and flatbread combo gives a good mix of lean protein and moderate carbs, perfect for the kind of leg volume you’re doing. The 185 lb for 7s and then 195 lb for doubles beltless shows strength is building while keeping depth legit. Keep protein around the same but you could push carbs a bit higher on heavy leg days to help recovery and refill glycogen since you’re training and riding the bike back to back.
Breakfast: Shrimp, a little bit of rice
Lunch: Grilled chicken wrap 2 breasts, veggies
Snack: 2 aloha bars: 30g protein total
Went straight to kids swim meet: 1 Powerade, a title popcorn, handlful each of pecans and almonds while there
Dinner: Left over shrimp (a little smaller serving than below) 2 eggs

Good food choices, protein stayed high through the day even with the swim meet chaos. Shrimp and chicken kept it clean while fats from nuts filled the gap nicely. Weight holding at 176 shows you’re staying lean while still fueling enough.
@Madmax46 shrimp and rice looks pretty good. hard to find good seafood. it spoils so easy
bros kids swim meet sound fun. they do it in a pool or they do it in lake? how they do? @Madmax46
bros i always worry those types of pools someone pee in them lolAt a high school pool. It’s actually pretty hot and humid, kinda uncomfortable
what exactly are aloha bars? what is in them? @Madmax46 Be careful with those things because a lot of times they have a lot of hidden ingredients and additives.
@Madmax46 that chocolate aloha bar looks good. seems like a good protein from the label. maybe post up the ingredients though on the backside
the grileld chicken wrap with veggies is a solid meal. and the swim meet sounds fun. we do a lot of pool stuff over the summer where i live @Madmax46

Start 183.8lbs
End 176lbs
Will end my log here as I will be going on the trip tomorrow. My gut is flatter and I have less bloat. Never felt hungry and actually had more energy. Overall a good mini light cycle. Will probably lower my test to 140 and deca to 40 weekly when I get back and cruise on that for a bit.

12 days? not a good idea to alcohol out.
Yeah it’s actually the bars my wife and kids eat. I try to avoid proteins bars unless I don’t have a choice
Marco island, should I continue the log? I was going to eat whatever I want while on vacation. Was too busy packing up and getting ready to take a pic sorry. Not even really worth positing a pic since I can still get leaner if I have like a couple months.

sushi dinner looks tasty
Photo of veggies?
I took a pick of the first time I bought it but the wrap has lettuce, bell peppers, banana peppers and I get double the chicken - it’s my go to when I work
Try making your own. It's much healthier.

Shrimp is one of my favorite foods
Japanese or local Wagyu?
@Madmax46 You are eating like an absolute king. This is a good little meal aside from the alcohol, of course.
I think if it’s grown outside of Japan its Waygu (local) but if it’s grown inside Japan it’s Kobe.
bros nice @Madmax46 my wife is japanese too. she knows all about that Kobe stuff
the strip steak is a thing to die for. I was debating the other day with someone about how to cook. It seems like medium rare is the correct way, so you're doing it right. @Madmax46
@Madmax46 shrimp salad sounds interesting. I bought shrimp last week and when I got home and I opened it up it was like black. It had like black spots on it. It's hard to find good seafood where I live.
wow that looks good man. i love that food. calamari is like fried squid or octopus right? i had it once tastes very fishy lol @Madmax46

Squid. Good calamari shouldn’t taste fishy. Seafood in Florida is always good. Try it when you visit Florida.

Fancy dinner there
@Madmax46 the food looks great if you ask me! always feels good after a vacation to be home. home sweet home as they say
Food back on point
yeah beer will do that. its the fermentation causing bloat. also the excess liquid calories @Madmax46
i am not a fan of raw seafood @Madmax46 don't you worry about food poisoning? that is dangerous
@Madmax46 When you have a day like that when you drink beer or something, I recommend the next day some water but make sure it's really good quality spring water and then squeeze some lemon in there. That will be a nice cleanser.
Bros you won't get any more boring and generic than chicken and rice but it works really well. It's a staple for many people and it's not that expensive. @Madmax46
Lunch: 2 chicken thighs, a little rice a veggies
Snack: Tuna from Trader Joes
Dinner: 4 egg spinach, cheese omlette, strawberries, blueberries, around 8 chili lime tortilla chips from Trader Joe’s.
First day back on nights so pretty tired

I had food poisoning once eating raw oysters in Thailand
. The place was a bit sketchy in hindsight. Ever since then I only eat at high end places for raw seafood.
@Madmax46 good food pics.....strawberries and blueberries combo looks great........
probably the guy prepping the food wiped his ass and didn't wash his handsI had food poisoning once eating raw oysters in Thailand
Damn that steak lookin so good
@Madmax46 I avoid sushi these days unfortunately!

Lunch: chicken tenders and green beans (ate half before I remembered to take a pic)
Snack: Greek yogurt, blueberries, a little bran nut cereal from Costco, drizzle real honey
Dinner: chicken cob salad from Panera, small piece of French baguette w butter - couldn’t help myself

Yes, Bayer did market proviron originally as part of androgen replacement therapy. Some stay on it year round with low dose test since it supports libido, mood, and keeps e2 lower without harsh AI use.
Your 140 mg test and 40 mg deca combo is mild and balanced, so proviron at 25 mg daily would complement it fine if you tolerate DHTs. Get bloods after 6–8 weeks to confirm HDL and e2 stay in range before extending it longer.
@Madmax46
Love these meals, but when can you start cutting some carbs? dinner french baguette come
Yeah I may take proviron like 3x per week in the days I’m not taking AI.

Damn great meals and can tell you're pushing yourself with the training. The 2 reps final set is where it all happens, well done, next time get a spotter and see if you can force out a 3rd!
Your test/deca ratio and doses are great and I think proviron is fine long term at 25mg ED. I noticed you mentioned an AI. Do you know from bloods you need an AI on only 140/40 T/D?
