nicely done bro. So you already started your cycle, how long ago? I could of sworn you were gonna wait to start ur cycle....I knew you couldn't wait. haha I got the itch too. Next time I see a jacked fool in the gym reppin out 415 on deads, i'm gonna yell out, "Glad and then Hella in the same sentence", and see ya turn your head acting like a typical norcal tough guy. lol

Hahahahaha im on day 5 now. Already up 20lbs no joke. ha jk, I was gonna wait but if i were to do a beastdrol only cycle for 6 weeks, then PCT for 4 weeks, id have to be off for another 10 weeks after that. Fuck that!

LOL i would turn around like that in a sec bro! Fuckin Nor Cal

another thing u can do for your grip is on your last rep on the heaviest set of deadlifts do a grip hold with the bar before you put it down again. I do that when I remember to and Iv got to the point I can hold my 1RM for 10 secs or more. Just remembered u needing grip when u mensioned farmers walk. It also means it gives u nice progression as each week your deadlift goes up and so your grip has to go up each week.

Super stoked about my bench. My shoulder gets a little aggravated towards the end of my workout but it was 100% fine during flat bb bench. Last week I got 275x5, today I got it 7! My main goal for next summer is to do 225x25 or 275x15. I got a lot of goals

So far so good, everything is going up and im lookin a lot fuller, im not to 200 yet but ive been drinkin a little and not eating right Im back on track tonight so from here on out its nothing but solid gains baby! Oh btw still rockin a 6 pack I will promise myself to keep it the whole cycle (my whole life actually haha)

Lucky bastard lol. Good job on the bench! 225x25 would be pretty sick.
