link to my bros log, running the same cycle as me.
looking impressive compared to starting pics, end results are going to be awesome!
what was the reason behind starting first cycle with BF so high?
most stuff i read STRONGLY recommends starting a cycle at around 10% not 25% BF
also, are these drugs legal and/or extremely easy to buy in Egypt?
are you trying to “recomp” on your first cycle? shouldn’t you have gotten lean first and then have a kcal surplus when you go on?
read that you said you have problems losing weight, am just trying to understand your reasoning.
Holy shit man…you have made a ton of progress…nice job!

I suck at dieting, mainly due to will power being shit. For the last few years i’ve been trying diet and the cal deficit has always hindered my progress, so i though fuck it lets fuel the training and see what happens. As they say… YOLO
Here in Egypt every compound i listed is available over the counter, totally legal and cheap as hell. Just walk into any pharmacy and pick up what u want. Even shit like xanex is over the counter.
As for my plan, ye i wana try n recomp on this cycle, was planning to diet down for the last 4 weeks , but thinking to start dropping the cals off from next week, clean up the diet, start cardio and see where i get from there.

Thanks VT, feels good being able train hard n heavy 6 times a week and recover pretty quickly.
looking good man, obviously yeah you are carrying a lot of fat, but you can clearly see you have a TON of muscle underneath.

Yeah there is a lot of fat to shed i agree, gains have been good so far!
Great progress, keep it up it also looks like you lost some body fat as well
Nice job, Marzouk. Been interesting to follow. Would you choose to do a different kind of cycle when you decide to cut?
Been following and wow man you have made great progress thus far!! Keep working hard!

My first cyce is guna stay how it is, when i decide to do an AAS cut i’ll research it more but i’ll probably add in some winny if i can get it here if not i’ll probably grab some anavar and run it with test.

thanks for the response.
are you worried at all that you have self confessed poor will power and are now embarking on taking a short cut with drugs and that these may quickly become a crutch?
i understand the yolo approach but if you have trained for years and never been below 20% BF or built much of a physique in all of that time then i would suggest caution with taking drugs.
taking drugs to get big and then taking cutting drugs to get lean just seems like a cavalier approach.
taking these drugs with such poor insulin sensitivity seems a bit silly also.
dont take this as an insult it is meant to help i see little point in another high 5 post

Yea i like getting people’s perspectives and stuff always good to hear opinions.
I forgot to mention not just my will power i had an estrogen problem as well which i believe was hindering my weightloss.
As for a crutch, nah i don’t think so. I plan on running this cycle and seeing where i get. I’ll continue to control my estrogen after i finish my PCT.
Also i am finding that running something so concrete and regimental as cycle means my training is on point, and so is my diet. This is because i know i cant just quit the cycle so i don’t have a choice but to stay on track, its quite a good motivator.
Could i of lost weight by controlling my hormoes and sticking to a diet? Hell yeah i could.
But just thought i’d give a cycle a wirl and try to recomp, lose some body fat with the added benefit of being on AAS - Recover is awesome, training focus etc madness.

This is one of the biggest benefits to being on cycle IMO. When I cycle, I don’t miss a single session or meal. Really motivates you to get everything dialled in

Exactly, in the last 21 days i’ve had 3 days of the gym (scheduled) get my ass out of bed and get to the gym.

Do you still follow the ‘eat-every-2-3 hrs’ dogma?
Because I found it much more difficult to stay strict alongside frequent feedings like that.
Then I switched to 2-3 (much bigger) meals and was able to actually get full while still maintaining the requisite deficit. made a HUGE difference
