Taz - Front shoulder press - barbell down to nipple area

Protein - when on cycle and throughout pct i take 5 x 50g serving throughout the day everyday, then get more from meat and other whole foods.

Also I carnt see where your getting your fats from? Maybe look at putting some nutts, olive oil banana, peanut butter in the blender with one of your protien drinks?

Taz - Sorry never mentioned peanut butter, usually have 1 tablespoon after training and another with protein drink before bed. Taken more protein powder on this cycle, as told it was diff to add fat, usually i have 3 drinks throughout yhe day.

Deadlift - 110kg x 5, 130kg x 3, 140kg x3, 150kg x 3

    Good workout, 150kg deadlift ok, prob could have got 160kg but don't want to push to much, 170kg which is my pb,is still too much at pressent.
     Had a couple of dodgy nights getting to sleep, but have no idea why, had no problems with lethargy so far durring pct, which i have before. Weight has dropped 1lb, but i seem to be leaning out a little.

Incline cable flys - 4 sets

   Great workout today 3 pb's on incline bb press, only realised i had improved by 3 reps on 80kg when i just had a look at last Mondays workout. I have never improved by that many reps in one week on any exercise before, so chuffed to bits, but used all my energy doing so and was fcuked for the last 2 lifts. 
    Will start Lean xtreme tomorrow, never used before, but been told it's needed to control cortisol and stop any fat gains, we'll see. After 2 dodgy nights getting to sleep, the last 2 night have been as good as any in years.

Todays weight - 15st 2lb ------- + 9lb

Pct Day 9 --------- Tue 15th Dec

Red highlights = improvements on last Tuesdays Bicep workout

 58kg x 3 (pb new weight) 

Last 3 sets of bb curls were imediately followed by db curls to failure.
 
  Yet another excellent workout, i have done as advised by Pred Nutrition, increased reps not weights when on cycle, then in pct, lower sets/reps and focus on increasing weights. If i'm honest, i didn't think it would work, but it has been great up to now with lots of pb's. Yesterday up 3 reps at 80kg incline bb press, then today an extra 3 reps at 40kg on bb curls.

Todays weight - 15st 2lb ----- + 9lb

Deadlift - 110kg x 5, 130kg x 3, 140kg x3, 150kg x 3

  Still getting some pb's on day 11 of pct which is very nice, i have broken all my previous pb's on every exercise except deadlifts. still feel like there's more to come.
  This being my 1st otc pct, i must say, it's the best i've ever felt durring pct. I usually feel a bit down and tired, but my mood/energy levels has/have been great and i think this has helped me acheive so many pb's. I think my pct/recovery has been  good, up to now, due to  Cynostane imo causing very little in the way of sides/shutdown and because it  has only been a 4 week cycle.

  First bad workout since being on cycle, down by 1 or 2 reps on heavier lifts. I have also finished pct, maybe that's the reason, i really don't know, hopefully it's a one off, really dissapointed.
  Will post a review of my cynostane cycle over the weekend, must say i am very happy with my progress and will deff run Cynostane again. Would run at an higher dosage, maybe 40mg or 50mg for 6/8 weeks with some tren at 90/120mg for the last 3/4 weeks. This would be a great cutting or lean bulk cycle, depending on amount of calories/diet.

Hey Ram hows it going, sorry dude been a bit busy over the festive period so not been on much. So I see you went with the OTC PCT option, how has that gone for you?

Pics look good man, you thinking of cutting down the line? obviously big lifting for a while to keep the size on you.

Do you reckon Cytostane could be stacked with something like bold for more size? say during a recomp or mild cut?
