MK Progress and Cycle Log

Hi guys

So I thought I'd create a log of my own incase I have any questions or if anyone is interested in what gains are like off a cycle like this. It's also here to share my experience seeing I'm regarding this as my first 'proper' cycle as my first real cycle was a complete joke.

Week 1-8: 150mg Test Prop EOD
Week 1-8: 60mg Tbol ED
Week 7-10: 50mg Proviron ED (might start earlier)

Week 8-10: 500iU hCG EOD
Week 11-15: Clomid & Kessar
*Adex on hand

My weight fluctuated a bit around when I was close to starting the cycle, moving from 90.7kg to 92kg. I am unsure of what my starting BF% was as I didn't have access to calipers. I'd estimate it to have been around 12%, judging by what I looked when I had my last readings taken.

Vitamins that I'm taking includes 0.5ml Vit B12 EOD, 3000mg Omega 3, 1800mg Vit C, 1 Pharmaton Multivit ED, 2 Liv52's ED and Zinplex (Zinc to keep skin clear).

Unfortunately my diet is uncontrolled due to lectures interfering with my meal schedule, but I aim at eating 4800 Cals every day. Basically eating chicken fillets (200g per serving), Cous Cous (200g per serving), Brown Basmati Rice (300g per serving), Cashews (100g per serving), Oats (200g per serving) amongst other meals whenever I get the chance.

Today is day 9, had my 5th shot today (and started B12), and my weight without shoes & clothes is at 95kgs. Hoping to exceed 100kgs by the end of this cycle. Any questions, crits or suggestions, please fire away!

Sounds awsome bud! Good luck for the cycle and keen to see your results

Good luck MK. Look forward to seeing your progress.

Thanks guys

So weight is still at 95.5kgs but I'm eating a lot more than I had been from the beginning of the week so hopefully that number starts increasing.

Had a bit of what I thought was a gyno flare, but I think it was just the tips of my nipples being sensitive from a slight rash I have from a thermal I was using on Tuesday, and this Cape cold (which I'm not 100% used to) is giving me what seems like permanent nipple stand.

Won't use Adex yet as when I'm warm my nipples and the area around them is as normal. If things get worse I won't hesitate.

Haven't noticed any significant strength increase from the Tbol (and the Test) so I'm just waiting for the Test to kick in for the real gains to start.

Feeling good other than that and the only complaint I have is the lower back pumps which makes training Hamstrings almost impossible with deadlifts etc and also with any aerobic exercise :pinch:

Great progress mk, patience is key hey...

Hope you get freaky huge!!!

All the best bro - keep us updated

Shot bud, appreciate it. I've managed to eat 2kgs of chicken, 2kgs of cous cous and 750g of Brown Basmati rice since Wednesday (so about 3 days) and after my shake at gym today I was 97kg. So my weight is fluctuating but it's obviously because of my food and water intake.

Also bought some Catafast (Cataphlagm generic) today which is helping a lot with the inflammation, but it costs R57 for 15 tablets and it's recommended at 2-3 tablets a day. Don't know how that compares to Cataphlagm but it's working which is what counts.

Still no significant change in strength or appetite but I'm eating much more than I was which is helping a lot I think with the weight gain. Not too phased if my BF increases, I think I'm going to aim for 105kgs now instead of 100kgs as before - it may be unrealistic but I love pushing myself to the limit

Keep pushing bro!! Hope you get there...

Hows training been??

ANd about the test and tbol - just be patient bro...

All the best!!

Thanks bud appreciate it!

Training has been as normal, haven't noticed any significant change in strength but I'm filling out quite nicely. Still waiting for the strength increase that comes with Prop. Monday is the start of Week 2 so I'm sure I'll start noticing it more, soon.

Ja orals take like 5-10 days before you notice the full effects.

Hi MK.First and foremost:You look really solid and defined in your Picture!!!The same goe's for Mr.Gorilla.I believe we all should post. Before intermediate and after photo's. It's easy for some know it all,to say take this,take that? Maybe the web-master could set-up some photo gallery.Brother you are a genetically gifted and probably train heavy hard and consistent.One thing ALOT!!!! of these Guy's think Steroids's are the Be-all,not true.People that have talent and potential,in my opion? would be of public service too discourage untrained inexperienced Rookie bodybuilder's too not follow the routine's of contest contender's.Thank's for the transparancy. johnny

Johnny please stop cluttering this site with useless info?

Most of the stuff you say has nothing to do with the topic or anything we were discussing?

Oh and thanks, but MK's pic is Frank McGrath and my pic is another random dude...

Alright cool bud, tomorrow is the start of Week 3 so hopefully things start picking up in the strength department.

I must admit, endurance is beginning to pick up as I feel I can train for longer, but only with the same weights. Hoping to start making some progress this week.

@Johnny: I would be in my element if I was Frank McGrath's size, his build is what I aspire to look like one day. Getting there, one day at a time.

So I thought I might add a little update, nearly at the end of week 3.

I must admit, I've never eaten as clean as I have over the past few weeks, and its helping me a lot with results.

Weight (in a towel) is at 98.7kgs. I'm also noticing that I'm getting a bit leaner which is nice. Strength is also beginning to gradually pick up, which is helping nicely too.

Lower back pumps are incredibly painful, especially when deadlifting, but I'm coping. The last 3 days haven't been the greatest in the diet department due to Concerta suppressing my appetite by quite a bit. This weekend I'm gonna go all-out, will fit in a cheat meal too just to keep me sane.

Gonna carry on pushing it as hard as I can, I've got my eyes set on the 105kg (or more) mark, which is only gonna happen if I start eating even more. Unfortunately my calorie intake changes on some days, but I'm eating a lot every 2 hours.

So far so good

nice dude, keep it up

Good stuff man!!

Im 97kg now. Also on tbol, cyp and provi. I'm aiming for 105kg's as well.

Great stuff!! keep going bro! Whats your diet look like?

Thanks guys, appreciate it!

Today is Day 21. Weight is a little down because I haven't bee able to eat properly at all due to my studies. Hopefully this next week I'll be able to concentrate on adding some more calories to my diet.

My diet is pretty much copious amounts of oats, cous cous and fish and chicken. Unfortunately I don't have the same schedule every day, so I'm just basically eating as much as I can when I can.

But it usually goes like this:

7.30AM: 200-250g Oats + 250g Chicken/Fish

10AM: 200g Chicken/Fish + 250g Cous Cous (I know I should be having fats here too)

12AM: 100g Cashews + 200g Chicken/Fish

2PM: 200g Cous Cous + 200g Chicken/Fish

5PM: 250g Cous Cous OR 250g Oats (with honey) + 200g Chicken/Fish

7PM: Shake [Post Workout] - doesn't really count as a meal

8PM: 200g Cous Cous + 200g Chicken/Fish

10PM: 50g Cashews + 30g PB/30ml Olive Oil + 250g Chicken/Fish

Note that this isn't every day, and sometimes I miss a meal. But I try to stick to that. Gonna start adding some Brocholli and Mixed Peppers to my diet this week.

I also don't eat brown rice as it fills me up quicker (from the water) and there's less calories than in Cous Cous. Plus, I just pour water over my Cous Cous and leave it for 2mins and its (nearly) done.

Looks good bro. Pretty much what I do...Although I have 6 slices of bread and jam post workout - ultimate calories and insulin spike! Haha!

Hmm sounds like a lekker idea, what bread do you eat and I'm sure I'm right in saying good ol' strawberry jam will be fine?

I do rooibos and rye and strawberry jam,apricot jam, any jam! :silly:

Just try it dude...It makes me wanna cheat less cos jam and toast is like a cheat meal already

Bro if you can handle it, its the fucking best!! White bread will spike insulin more than ordinary table sugar... :lol:

We jammin! - Bob marley

Damn that sounds decent gonna try that aswell tomoz! If you have about 40-50g dextrose post workout how much white bread and jam combo would you need there broseph?

Jam and bread wont cause that big insulin spike as dextrose and it's more calories as well. Also table sugar is mostly fructose, so it's a lower and can not really be compared to it.

2slices bread = 35g carbs
30g jam = 24g carbs
