That pic wasn't loading for me, so it just looked like a tiny bit of the top of the picture. I think that's what he means?


EDIT: It loaded for me there actually, I see what he means now... it looks like you're having a tom hank! Look at where your hand is! PMSL

I am indeed, being 'on' is so much better then 'off' and it means i can get away with eating **** and not gain a **** ton of fat(not that I do this often)

starting cutting in3/4 weeks and will introduce T-bol or H-drol about 2/3weeks after

next injectable will be September-December/January

hmm, now this may or may not be the advice that everyone would give, BUT if your going to be taking anything, you will be shut down.  So  with that in mind i dont see any difference between an oral and an injectable cycle.  Its still another cycle.  So in my mind, if your going 'on' you might as well do it properly rather than half arsed with just orals.  In fact there is a good case to make that just doing some test is healthier than running an oral cycle.  add to that its more effective, and on a risk reward ratio it blows an oral cycle out of the water.

But you should do what your comfortable with.

I agree with that, however I will likely be at home for some of my cycle so an Oral cycle is easier to hide from my mother.

I'll work out the timings later and if I'm at Uni then I may well do another injectable for my cut, will defintly be running injectable in September though

well, she never really went off on one, as at the time she worked reception at a doctors surgery.  She talked to a gp about it, and he actually reassured her that there wasnt much in the way of risk.  so i think that helped alot.  she wasnt happy about it, but then she did say she always thought i would end up down that route as i was so serious about training.
 
Guess i was lucky really, mainly because she didnt tell my old man!
 
I know people that have told their folks and after a bit of discussion have been fine with it, i know others who have told them to move out! lol
 
WHat kind of questions they been asking?

do not tell unless you have to, but if the cats outta the bag, be honest.

i told my ex and sat her down (when we were together) and she was a vet nurse. She had the common myths to be dispelled but otherwise she was golden with it.

I told my current missus the 1st night i met her.
Her ex was on gear but a right fruit loop so again i had to dispell some myths.

My dad....well..... i hid it for 8 months.
After my show win it was hard to hide it as i had only restarted bdybuilding 14 months prior.
He was sane and cool about it all, now a running joke. We had the big sit down chat etc.

AAS is quite easy to hide unless someone roots through your room

I'd be more then happy to move out TBH, in fact it would be a convienet excuse lol

well I've gained 30lbs since September, also more bodyhair and a more acne on my back, so mum keeps asking about these things,I just try and ignore her tbh or give some bull**** excuse, hopefullly she'll figure it out on her own then ask me about it....would be much easier, especially seeing as all my mates now that I'm on gear

yeah I could just hide the needles and amps in my room, but if she did find them it would be even worse that way, not worth the risk IMO but we'll see

Lat Pulldowns machine is also different, the plane of motion slightly differs from the one in Nottingham,alsothe fact I had done pullups before probably affected the weight and reps

Looking class. Jesus. Your delts have exploded, even since your last pics!?

What do you think of the FST-7 thingy? When I do it I tend to keep the weight the same for all 7 sets, and just aim for an 8-12 rep range. So for the first few sets I'll be hitting 12 and then by the last few sets I'll be hitting 8 or 9.

legs today with my mate Mark (Snake182on here) was a good session allthough felt like I pulled my Hamstring during one of warm up sets so that affected the weigths used I think

Squats-First time in 7 weeks?!
60kg 3x10 (warm up)
100kg 1x6
120kg 1x7

Hope you enjoyed it mate and that there is no lasting and permanent damage
Sorry you didn't get to do your clean and press, I did hint that you might not feel like it at the end of the session.

You did good for your first encounter with the pressing superset, there was barely any whimpering and not so much as a single tear.

Epic fail on not getting a thumbs up pic done.

barely any wimpering? quite sure I said on more then one occasion 'I think I'm dying'!

was good though, will be giving your shoulder routine a go for the next few weeks atleast hopefully won't be as painfull

agreed regarding the picture...will be done next time I'm sure

I made an abomination of my incline dumbbells today too so maybe it was some kind of astrological alignment.

No reason why you should lose much strength when you're cutting.
You might find it goes up as you're actually eating better
