the big man push ITSaturday January 27 2024
Before I get into the log post I wanted to mention I am down from 222lbs and now I weigh in at 214 for this cut so far.
The zane program so far is awesome I really enjoy it, I definitely underestimated how challenging it would be, that is ok by me because I live for the grind and the challenge.
Sometimes I will need a substitute exercise based on what I have and don't have at the gym, which I don't mind. I can do the vast majority of the movements at the gym.
Also I might add in an extra movement or two each week depending on what I feel is needed at the time.
The thing I like most about the zane program is it forces weight being increased, why on earth would I do a DB Bench Press for 4-8 reps with 35lb DBs I just wouldn't, as it would be a waste of time.
With this program you start out lite with weight and get heavier as the reps decrease, I also add in 1-3 warm up sets for some extra reps and sometimes I will do more reps on the last set then what is on paper, if I'm feeling good and can properly lift it, why the heck not!
I have noticed his program so far is exhausting maybe it's the movements or the structure, I love that feeling and I am enjoying it, definitely is the right fit for me.
On my off day from the gym on thursday I did 1 hour and 35 minutes of cardio, the thing zanes program lacks big time is cardio so I'm changing that aspect and bumping it up.
I hit the climb master and uphill cardio one after another.

Yes I haven't really seen anyone try and pull it off and go indepth with it. I figured heck I'm running 16 weeks so I might as well give it a shot, only things I am changing is more cardio, 5 days a week ontop of adding 1-2 extra exercises when I see it is needed, the interesting thing is no trap work really so that is something I will add in. I have never done 3 days a week working out I've always been at 5 or more so it will be really interesting seeing how I grow if I make more or less progress etc, either way it will be a great test for me and maybe others will give it a try.not done Zane's program so it's interesting to read about this
Appreciate that brother, the grind never stops even when we reach the goal we set another one and repeatExcellent log! Keep grinding bro.

So as I am trying to get you guys an update and photos of the supplements I purchased for cycle support shout out my 100 dollar Amazon gift card lol, this big guy decided he was gonna block my supplements and lay by me and want my attention, so naturally I had to pet him and love on him for a little bit.

@Noah Wixx this will be your 2nd cycle with para and a win i betMonday February 12 2024
it has begun....
Starting weight is 216lbs for clarification on that.
I will be continuing the Frank Zane program as i absolutely love it. I go all out 3 days a week hit all my body parts while tossing in some extra isolation movements, i also will keep cardio at 4-5 days a week 45 minutes up into 1hour depending on the time I have.
As all of you can tell by the photo and loaded barrel it is go time!
Today was my first official injection for my Para Pharma 16 week cycle and I am beyond ready and excited for this next step in my bodybuilding journey.
I was a little nervous going into the first Injections which is typical for me and I think normal when taking it into the next level as far as cycle and compounds go.
I must admit I didn't know what to think or how my body would react with higher concentration levels of gear, I was very pleased and surprised at how smooth it went today. I didn't know what to expect after I pressed that plunger down I was like well damn this isn't bad at all, very smooth.
The oil is definitely more viscous this time around that is expected the test alone is 400mg/ml and the primo is 200mg/ml.
I am choosing to start with no AI for the first 4 weeks at the end of those 4 weeks I will be running bloodwork to see all my numbers and especially estrogen, if AI is needed for deployment I have plenty aromasin on hand that I will put into play on a as needed basis, and the dose will be no more than 12mg a week to start. I don't want to crush my estrogen bad news if that happens.
Currently with trt no AI at 150mg a week of test cyp estrogen is at 29 so I don't see me having issues running test at 300-350 a week no AI since primo is at play and from past experience with primo I didn't need an AI at all on cycle.
Also will probably donate blood soon just to keep on the up and up and be safe while running the EQ just something i feel strongly about doing, i feel it is the right call.
I chose the ventro glute as my body takes injections into that area with ease. Been about 1 hour or so since injection took place. I can say with confidence the pip so far is mild at best, I can feel something in my muscle and very very mild soreness. The real test will be 24hrs from now to see what the true pip is looking like.
I use a 25g 1in syringe for injection once loaded into the barrel i like to spin the syringe for 30 seconds back and forth to warm the liquid up in the barrel before i inject it. I believe it can help alleviate the amount of possible pip.
Injections are spilt into M/W/F less oil more spread out = less pip and muscle irritation in my own experience anyway.
I will admit the injection process is alot slower due to the thickness and concentration of the oils, I actually like that, the number one reason is it forces me to injection alot slower and for longer, it helps because I won't flood the muscle with alot of oil quickly, in my mind the slower the injection the more time the oil has to move throughout the muscle and less pip along the way.
the quality is absolutely top notch which is expected when supplied by @ugfreak
This Para Pharma gear is
I often quote it as the para pharma difference as I truly believe Para Pharma gear is next level and will be instrumental in helping me achieve the vison I have long term. It is no secret how much I love PP gear and the results it gives me.
Time to knuckle up and do my part and hit a homerun on the diet, training and cardio for these 16 weeks and beyond.
Enjoy the update everyone!

Mine as well no doubt about that! The para pharma line is absolutely awesome and well worth running.UGFreak is one of my fave sources
Cardio nicely done but up that to 45minThursday February 15 2024
Push day today it went extremely well, im feeling a little stronger in all my lifts and they are going up already which is a good feeling.
Aggression is at an all time high for me a few Injections in, not really sure why that is but it is 1000% through the roof lol.
It could possibly be that this is my first higher mg cycle i am attempting and the flood of androgens is just hitting me hard and maybe EQ brings out my aggression because I didn't experience it on this level in this way with just test and primo.
I'm running test 150mg higher than I ever have in the past which can also be a big contribution to the androgen intensity.
My Aggression isn't I'm looking for fights or starting fights or treating anyone poorly nothing like that at all, it's the kind of Aggression that 30-45 minutes after I inject I can feel it in my jaw, face and in my mind and I get this rush and wave of just aggression in my mind.
when i hit the weightes i murder them to the best of my ability and i can feel the rage benefitting my mindset and my physical ability to preform at a better level.
i am good at containing it internally and harnessing it in the gym only, once I leave that setting I cool that part of me way way down.
overall I feel good nothing negative to report about other than the pip being hot and heavy lol, still trying out different methods and injection sites to offset it along with icing the area etc.
I chose higher concentrations so that is on me for that choice and my mistake as my line of thinking was backwards on this so i own that on me 100% now we just let it ride and deal with it the best we can as long as I can workout and preform we are golden and G2G.
No pain no gain as they sayeither way not para pharmas fault its my fault for loving some potent quality killer gear
Side note para pharma is absolutely potent i don't care who agrees or who doesn't, I am speaking from my personal experience and the minute I went from trt into that para pharma gear man it hit me like fucking freight train I am 3 Injections deep so far and yeah I can tell after it is coursing through my veins because my mindset has been flipped upside down and I'm ready to get shit done.
Enjoy the update everyone!
