Whats my goal weight?
@Dan98 90% of members cant see images can you please paste the text of what you plan
and we can tweak from there
@Dan98 yes where do you want to be? thats a valid question
My goal is 220-230 lean
How tall are you? I’d imagine that much weight gets tiring to walk around with, at least for my purposes.

Im 6 foot to 6 foot 1. Im 220 now but not very lean and its fine. Iv been much heavier before. I feel fairly light on my feet to be honest
Keep killing it
Yeah definitely rest up if you need it as much as it sucks it is better than getting injuries
To be honest most or that is water retention and abit of fat
How much lean muscle you think
Its hard to say because before starting the the bulk i had a couple months of the gym due to travelling and lost some muscle and gained some fat but since dropping my dose to cruise and dropping calories to maintenance and adding in some over the counter herbal diuretics thats have worked well for me in the past iv dropped to 215 and look much leaner so I assume thats the bulk of the water retention gone. Im hoping iv gained at least 10lbs of lean mass and the other 20lbs fat and water
@Dan98 10lbs of mass is good but the 20lbs of fat isn't good, you need to work on getting your diet together before we move into a cut. more training diet updates coming? waiting
Fat and water. I could be wrong it could be less fat because I haven’t dropped all the water weight yet. I dont look any fatter than day 1 and still have visible abs im just trying to be realistic and not think iv gained 30lbs of lean muscle
Also im now eating 3500 calories a day at maintenance and my training plan is in the thread
Great start to this log man. Thanks for posting the details.
Cheers man. Im down to 215lbs after almost 2 weeks on cruise. But so I assume that’s mainly water retention because i do seem much leaner and less bloated. Also i ran out of aromasin when i dropped to cruise so i assume my e2 is really high because the ester will still be clearing and 250mg test does increase my e2 over reference range anyway. But my aromasin arrives today so once i throw that back in I should drop even more water retention
@Dan98 water retention drops a lot. are you planning to post diet training updates ? I havent seen your training update
