PCT Day 13 - Rest

I tried to stay on track with my diet on this off day, but failed! I always start off the day with my diet in check, if I know I'm gonna train later on in the day, I'm extra motivated to eat clean. However, when I take off days from the gym, my diet goes out the window. Today it was pizza. Those big ass Costco slices. 3 of them! and then more greasy food at night!

Diet

1 - oats/egg whites/Orange juice
2 - turkey burger/whole grain bread/pizza
3 - oats/chicken
4 - pizza/pizza/cookies
5 - top sirloin/fried pork cutlet/greasy fried rice
6 - syntha/whey/skim milk

PCT Day 14 - Shoulders

Back on track with the diet. Had a few things today I wouldn't normally eat, but overall stuck with the plan. Blasted my shoulders at the gym. Before the cycle, the most I ever Dumbbell pressed was 80 pounds (each hand) for 3 sets of 6 reps. I put up 90's today! felt truly beastly, everyone at the gym paused and stared at me (I was making some loud-ass grunts though)

25x12
50x10
70x10
80x10 - easy!

When will we see some pics?

 

[ho_steppa]

I took pics right at the end of the cycle, and honestly, they look almost identical to my before pics from Day 1. I think I look bigger in my before pics actually. It was kind of discouraging. I am 20 pounds heavier, and I think about the same body fat (15~17% - top 4 abs are still visible).

I'll post up a side by side comparison a little later on, see what anyone still following this thread thinks.

PCT Day 15 - Rest

Getting busier and busier at work as I anticipated a few weeks ago, no time for the gym today. Diet was horrible and included Pizza Hut and McDonalds. Next week and for the following month or so is going to be crazy hectic at work, gonna just have to take it day-by-day. I might end up turning into a big fat blob by the end of it!

On another note, below is a side-by-side before/after comparison pic. They look almost identical! I think I look bigger in the before pic, and more leaner in the after pic, even though the after pic is 20 pounds heavier. Also, the after pic was taken in the morning like 15 minutes after I woke up, so I had absolutely no pump.

Here are some stats:

Before pic from May 22nd (left)
180 pounds
My Lifts right before cycle
Bench: 265x1
Squat: 275x2
Seated Military: 175x3
DB Military: 80x6
Pendlay Rows: not sure
Barbell Curl: 95x4
Diet - about 2000 calories on a 50/20/30 (p/c/f) split
----------------------------------------------

After pic from July 1st (right)
200 pounds
My Lifts right at the end of cycle
Bench: 335x1
Squat: 365x4
Seated Military: 225x4
DB Military: 90x7
Pendlay Rows: 265x5
Barbell Curl: 135x6
Diet - about 3500~3800 calories on a 40/40/20 split
---------------------------------

The Good
-ridiculous increases in strength
-increase size
-increase vascularity
-lots of compliments, stares, cop-a-feels
-extra attention from haters at the gym

The Bad
-pretty bad lethargy at beginning of cycle, was falling asleep in the middle of client meetings!
-back pumps were mild, not too bad at all
-joints feel more dry now than during the cycle
-I'm too big! More than half my shirts don't fit me anymore, been too busy to go shopping so I look weird in these super tight, 2 sizes 2 small button down shirts at work

The Ugly
-acne on my face increased, not horrendous, but still stressful considering I rarely had acne ever in my life

Here's a 'better' comparison. The before pic here and from above were taken a few minutes apart, but the differences between the before and after here are much more noticeable and dramatic, imo!

 

[CoBra666]

you def look smaller in the first set of pics, but i think its just the pose cuz in the 2nd one you look huge compared to the first. in both pics i think u look better tho, in the after pic that is bro. good work. crazy lift increases! i think im gonna run a beast katana in september while doing a mini smolov for bench and mini smolov for squat simultaneously.. and abs thru-out. hope to have some good strength increases like that. way to kick ass.. run some krill for those joints.. cant rmember if u took forma but that dries u out

 

[brownbrown]

k this guy up guys... this log is one of the best

 

[ho_steppa]

thanks for the compliments cobra and brown. I think the results could have been much better if it wasn't for my damn cravings!
And whoever's giving me extra karma, too, thanks! I noticed the karma went up a few thousand points, is there a way to check who gave it, so I can give some back? Also my karmic power is zero. Does that mean I can't even give any? lol..how do I increase the karmic power?

Anyways, here's what was up yesterday:
