@zeenote313
The diet app is pretty good too but you have to do everything on the app so it makes setting up your diet a little painful. I've just been using chronometer for logging and I did use the diet app for a build phase and it was good. Same idea as the hypertrophy app. You just answer some questions and they set up your macros.

Nah just sitting at maintanance right now. Eating good with once a week cheat. Training 4-5 days a week. Nothing really to report.
I’ll be starting a new build log a little closer to fall. Right now just enjoying being not as strict for the summer. It’s a been a few years since I wasn’t growing over the summer.

I cycle right now. In a health phase. Have bloods in another month or two. After that I’ll prob get antsy and get something going.
I’ll try to get a pic up on this log next week.

I know. I haven’t been this light in a couple years.
Feels good though except for the slight performance drop in the gym.
No worries, I’ll be back over 200lbs before you know it!!!!

Ha I’m just messing with you bro. After coming off my bulk and going on vacation, I was wondering how I was looking leaner and leaner. The other night I weighed myself and was 198lbs! That’s the lowest I’ve been in 4 years. I was right back up to 204lbs the next day but that’s a sign of being lighter when my 5lb daily fluctuation is hovering that low. Anyways, I did the InBody scan today and I’m only down 2lbs from my last scan and only up 0.6% in body fat and my skeletal muscle mass only dropped 2lbs. So that’s the only change. Pretty good. Although, I was up to 213lbs on June 30th. So I gained a lot and lost a lot but overall, I am sure I grew since my overall build is way more developed than before the cycle.

I just found this after your link thanks @s.gentz you actually look big and lean in the pic, good size shoulders and big arms! top physique.

Hows your training?

 

[s.gentz]

I just found this after your link thanks @s.gentz you actually look big and lean in the pic, good size shoulders and big arms! top physique.

Hows your training?

Training is good. Five days a week. Chest, arms, legs, arms, back and abs three times/wk. Weekends off. No direct shoulder work. Just reverse pec deck. Shoulders are fine but don’t think I need to push it right now. Not really following a plan. Just doing what I feel.
Prob start building again in September after physical/bloodwork.

[s.gentz]

You pinning BPC in the shoulders meanwhile? @s.gentz

No. shoulder have no issues. Just giving them a break. Everything actually feels great at the moment. Still pushing 80% of the weight I was moving in January. Going high volume/lighter weight while not eating that much. Only carb meal is breakfast. Toast, eggs and cheese. Lunch is 12oz chicken thighs, shake after training and 12oz steak or burgers w/cheese.

Most recent labs attached.

Supps i've been taking
12g fish oil daily
15g fiber daily on top of food fiber
Amlodipine/Benazepril 10/20mg daily
7 caps N2Guard daily
1000mg Citrus Bergamot daily
1200mg NAC
1000mg TUDCA
1000mg astragalus
15mg iron

Currently on 180/wk test
Stopped tren 4 weeks ago and clen last week-LDL is still a bit messed up due to these items. Going for a calcium score test just to be safe but Doc thinks all will be good.
Based on these labs they have no reason to suspect low iron anymore. Asked them to include iron test next time.
White blood cells have always been low. Just where i sit. Dr is not concerned.
BP 119/79 so meds are dialed in.
Dr is happy with where we are at.

There is too much. We will just go with all is good and Dr is happy.
Going for calcium score test due to elevated ldl from Tren/clen. Don’t anticipate any issues.

$300buck or free????? IDK, the important ones are done.I've been on TRT and gear for years and hormone panel is virtually the same every time. I can wait, it's only a couple more weeks.
I also live in NY. You can't order your own bloods here. Has to be Dr prescribed which is absolute BS but it is what it is. Merek will send me a lab request but they use Labcorp and we don't have them here. None of the other online labs will service NY.

Looking big and lean from the pic thick arms.

Arms need work. They look pretty good from the side but my biceps are narrow. Been struggling to thicken them. Might just be my genetics. Hitting them with IGF-DES after training 2x weekly for a couple weeks. The extra volume is def helping.

You just need to do more volume and food, mainly when gains not coming its a diet issue.

I def agree with regard to eating more. I’m going to start slowly bringing food back up. Speaking about growing my arms in general. Even when in full bulk they just don’t get any thicker side to side. I think it’s just genetics. I have a fun time trying to grow them though!! Love arm day!!!!

I'm mentally ready to push but i don't want to build cals in too quick. Like to stay fairly lean for a bit before getting fat!!!

 

[s.gentz]

I do my best to target inners. close grip work, hammer curls etc. I think this is just genetics. Just gonna keep hammering them. It seems very high volume on the arms is the only thing that helps. I've been able to manage a bit more weight lately on the arms too so that may also help. In the past if I went to heavy i would get tendonitis.

To push you need to build up the calories you wont get fat, wont be an issue if you keep cardio high. @s.gentz

I disagree @s.gents, that sounds like body dysmorphia that we all have. I followed your log for years, and I think you under eat a lot and worry about fat gain too much.

I do 15-30min 5x per week year round.

To stay lean on a bulk, you would need double that around 45-60min/day.

 

[s.gentz]

and I think you under eat a lot and worry about fat gain too much

I eat to to grow in a surplus. I don’t go crazy with food. I push it as much as I can.

Brother i know the feeling id trade you some of my arm genetics for some of your quad genetics we both win lol, my upper body and arms grow like crazy, my legs always been my weak point stubborn to grow, they get strong just dont put on a ton of size, even when i was lean they would get cut up but not thick, reason why i chose physique class.

Don't hate it just prob not gonna do it. Did enough sprinting during my running days. Once I start building again cardio will go from 30 down to 15-20min. Only doing cardio for health reasons at that point. Not fat loss.

That's reasonable as well I get your situation, at least 30min is a must, don't lower cardio for heart reasons and to stay lean on bulk. @s.gentz
