+ 10 First EBC for TenaciousD!
So not to make excuses ahead of time, but...
I'm in week 6 of my first bulker of Test E and Equipoise. My plan is to just do exactly what I was going to do for the next 14 weeks--try to gain as much quality weight as possible, eating super clean but high calorie and see where it takes me. So I'm not actually doing a cutter. But I'm fat enough to lean up a bit and lean enough to see a difference, so ya never know.
Plus, with the advice of the venerable Tread, I'm going to use anavar and low carbs the last 5 weeks to tighten up, but, as I said, my plan is to not change my original intent just because an EBC pops up right after I start my cycle. So I'll actually finish the 5 weeks after the deadline.
Right now, today, I'm 191 pounds at 5'9" and I'm guessing 12ish % BF. I'm so freakin pale that I think I look higher, but I'm actually a bit vascular in my thighs and shoulders.
And just to apologize--these pics are SUPER DIFFICULT to take by yourself. I tried my best to get the lighting reasonable, the focus reasonable and my pose reasonable, but Jesus, it took me 90 minutes and about 60 pics to get these, so just let the photo criticism be tempered by that understanding. I tried to take them in a space where there was no outside light so I could reasonably recreate it at the end.
Anyway, I'm so grateful for the site and the advice and brotherhood/ sisterhood here that I thought I would do my part and put up my pics in the contest. I feel like a rookie in the NFL--I'm just glad to be here and I hope to contribute.
Good luck everybody!
PS I used a Wall Street Journal--I figured a national newspaper is the issue to prevent ID. Hope it is ok.

Ripppp it up bro !!!!
Welcome to the Fun! Good Luck!
I see what ya mean, that was me in January!
Now you Jersey Shore certified!
I shot all the way down to South Shore Certified for a bit! LOL ;-P
Sounds like a perfect goal to me! This will push ya to next level. Good luck bro!
tread-mGlad to have you TD!
You tha man. I'm just a squirrel looking for a cut. I mean nut.
Bro you got a lean frame there. I gotta good feeling where you can go with this bro. You are really close BF wise to make a big splash.
Thanks, amigo. I'm really glad I took those pics--they really show you where the work needs to be done. It's funny that I am entered in a "cutter" but I clearly need some mass. But I think if I dial my diet in tightlyI can make enough lean gains to make the cut seem bigger than the actual loss of BF. We'll see.
In any case, I'm glad to be a part of it. In some ways I'm hoping I don't win--I don't know what I'd do with all that gear! I'd feel like a drug kingpin!
GOOD LUCK BROTHER... +3 KARMA
Thanks, Vike!
Got a nice build to work with there. Good luck!
Thanks everybody. I'm leaving the country for a couple of weeks and won't have consistent Internet. Not consistent food either. Good thing this is a cutter!
Just run with it bro & so the best you can with what you got. It's really fun to see the changes. good luck
Well, I'm back home for the last two days from 2 weeks out in the bush--I managed to maintain weight at 191 and may have even leaned out a hair. Got my protein in (barely) for the 2 weeks. I must have eaten 25 eggs a day! Tough to get anything else in the middle of nowhere. Got reasonable workouts in with resistance bands and bodyweight, but boy, howdy am I sore after my first gym workout in 2 weeks!
I'm back at it, trying to lean gain as much as possible until my cycle ends.
On a positive note, about 5 or 6 people I haven't seen for 6 weeks all asked if I was bigger than the last time they saw me
Hope everyone in the US has a great Thanksgiving! I plan on a mini bulker this Thursday!
Pics done. I'm really pleased with my cycle, which still has a few more weeks. I started the whole thing around 181, started the EBC at 191 and am currently around 198. My BF is a bit lower than when I started, but as I stated, I wasn't doing a cutter, but a lean bulker. Can't complain about almost 20 pounds of lean weight gain on my first cycle back in 20 years.
Back to my TRT in a week, then on to my next lean bulking cycle once I've given myself a good break.
Congrats to all the EBC competitors!
PS I need to learn how to do a front lat spread!
Good job looks like you got what you came for bro. Definitely see a big difference in your back and arms. +1 for sticking in there and getting it done.
Thanks, amigo. You got ripped and have a great chance at the win. I'm just happy to be here.
Looking good man, looking leaner and bigger
phil113kgIt does me good to see someone finish what they've started. That's the case here. +1 for reaching the finish line. How old are you anyhow? You have good lines and the legs are not bad.
Thanks! I'll be 40 next month. I plan on filling out my weaknesses with my upcoming cycles--mass on my arms, filling shoulders, calves and forearms, getting leaner--actually quite a lot! But it is great to be on track, in the best shape of my life and having a great time.
Great changes! Rear double bis can easily see added size plus you hardened up greatly! High five!
Thanks! Looking forward to seeing your finish line pics.
Good job you lost lil bf and gained quality mass! Good job!!!
Awesome progress, weight gain with fat loss is always good!
BostonGood job man. Back and calves are sweet. I need those calves lol.
all the hard work pays off!! 90 minutes and 60 pics, LOL.
Great job ;)
Good job bro
