      i see some abs sneaking out man. looking good. i can only eat about 2lbs of chicken a day tops cause it hangs out in my gut forever. steak i can eat 6lbs in a day with no issues whatsoever. here is a secret i learned a couple years ago. cook up whatever kind of meat you need for your meal. cut into chunks and toss into the food processor and pulse it until it is in a pulled pork consistency. it makes it 10x easier to eat and it processes way faster. i have a normal food processor and an oyseter blender that has a food processor attachment and it only cost 40 bucks. i use the blender one way more than my expensive processor cause it is way easier to get in and out

      Awesome advice! Like I said one of my biggest challenges coming up in January is going to be packing away the food. I get so tired of eating when I'm trying to bulk up. I'll definitely be doing this. Thanks guns!

      Ok first did a light dynamic leg workout today with a crossfit buddy of mine. He showed me some dynamic movements to incorporate every once in awhile to strengthen those muscles that get lost sometimes in our workouts and to work on mobility. He was also able to identify some problems with my form that may be contributing to my knee pain.

      Second, starting my bulk cycle tomorrow! Wasn't supposed to start til 1 January but I just went on leave for 3 weeks so I figured why not have that 3 weeks of lifting eating and family time! I'm pumped! Will post final starting weight and measurements by tomorrow morning. I've changed my mind about my cycle quite a few times but below is my final answer. I dropped the EQ as I'm only running the bulker for 10-12 and then cruising for about a month and a half and then jumping on a cutter.

      Running:

      Test E & P: 700 Mgs a week

      NPP: 525 Mgs a week

      Anadrol: 75 Mgs a day

      Proviron: 50 Mgs a day (May bump up to 75)

      Hgh: 4 iu a day

      Aromasin: 12.5 Mgs (or less) eod

      Caber on hand

      i like it man and you could jump up the proviron to 100 if you really wanted to without any bad effects other than raging boners haha. i like that you arent jumping on the caber for no reason right out the gate also. it can cause heart issues in some people. the studies show at high doses and blah blah blah but it is a side affect and is possible so why risk it unless you need it

      Yup definitely taking your advice on the caber and I'm even considering holding off on the aromasin until I build up some estrogen... That crap gave me some notable joint pain. The reason I was gonna keep the proviron light was because prostate issues run in my family a bit. I don't have any issues as of yet but I figured I'd test the waters.

      Did a back workout in my garage this morning so I only had the big three at my disposal which makes for a great heavy workout. Only problem is I really had no business working out today and definitely had no business doing a heavy back workout. Anyway I paid for it by logging some pretty sorry lifts today but life goes on. Still got a good pump on.

      Deadlifts: 135 x 10, 225 x 6, 315 x 4, 365 x 3, 410 x 2

      Bent barbell rows: 135 x 20, 185 x 18, 225 x 12, 275 x 3 (grip failed), 245 x 9, 245 x 8

      Wide grip pull ups: 10, 8, 7, 6

      Parallel grip pull ups: 8, 7, 7, 7

      Incline sit ups: 4 x 50

      Skull crushers: 75 x 12 <--- elbows burning!

      2 tweaks to get rid of the elbow and shoulder issues my man. switch you close grip bench press with close grip incline. it takes shoulders out almost completely and puts the tricep in a more optimum position for work. skullies killing the elbows, go to a db skull crusher. it allows a bit more freedom of motion with the arms and elbows and also gives a more optimum movement for the tricep. start with hands facing at the bottom/stretch position and twist them facing forward at the top (or palms up) these skullies are awesome
