Wow. I am glad I finally took pictures and can see some progress. I am so out of shape and didn't realize it until I took the pictures and looked at them. I wear a suit for work and it is surprising what a suit hides. My main goal is to look better in a suit (making my shoulders bigger/broader). I've got a big thing at work in 19 days and want to put about 10 pounds on in that time and look much better in my suit. I will be uploading a suit picture soon.

My specific goals are in line with a recomp: I want to lose weight and start to see some abs and hopefully slim down while maintaining strength and actually adding some mass to my shoulders and legs.

I've finally got my diet to something that I understand and will be doing a very small cycle to get back into this. My main reason for joining this EBC is to keep myself accountable and this will really help me push it and reach the next level. I'm not to the level of some other people but I'm going to try extremely hard.

I used photoshop to take out my head and to cover up some distinguishable things in the background of my pictures. The pictures might not be as bright at the finish because it was a sunny day out and I don't know how the weather will be in November.

EDIT: (starting at 5mg of Anavar and going up to 10mg after 3 weeks and maybe finishing up with winstrol depending on the outcome of the first 8 weeks.) - I had the dosage wrong, my apologies.

My apologies. I typed that up on my ipad and then just copied and pasted it in the description. I'm taking Anavar 25mg/mL with 3 mL for 3 weeks (75mg) and then 4 mL or 5 mL (100mg/125mg) until the end. My very first cycle was very similar.

My cycle history:
22 Anavar only (50mg) for 12 weeks
24 Test E (500 mg/week) and Boldenone (200mg/week) with PCT (Nolva for 4 weeks)
26 Test E (600 mg/week) and Deca (250 mg/week) with PCT
Three year break until now. I want to get back into shape and loved the first cycle I ever did and want to do that before I get into any more serious cycle.

I've decided to NOT include Winstrol. I don't really want to add any androgenic to my cycle as I don't want to get puffy and I usually get pretty puffy with test.

Diet: I'm finally understanding Macros and was able to get down to 185 about a year ago just on a diet, so I'm going to go between 400 and 500 grams of carbs, about 150 grams of protein and 55 grams of fat. (total right around 2800 calories per day).

Training history: I have been training for mass gain since I was 18 and before that was training for endurance, but really been working hard at building muscle since I was 18/19. My training is a 5 day split (chest, back, shoulders, legs, arms) and I am going to start including HIIT training twice a week on shorter days at the gym. After three weeks, I'm going to adjust my workouts to do the same volume per week but working out each body part twice a week. I would like to get up to including HIIT 4 times a week by November.

99Transam suggested that I drop the AAS and just focus on diet, but I don't want to get kicked out of the contest. I just want to work hard until November 30 and see actual results. If I won't get ridiculed or kicked out, I would be willing to drop the Anavar and get my recomp done and come back for the next EBC.

I didn't mean to sound like a rookie, but just got nervous with this being my first EBC. I used to read everything on here, but I got busy with life and wasn't on here for about 18 months.

EDIT2: September 5, 2015

I've decided to just focus on Diet and Exercise for this EBC and get ready to rock and roll. I will just be working on my diet and intensity and will be using this as motivation. Thanks everyone for the advice and all the help.

This is my mini EBC update: http://www.eroids.com/pics/pnine-fall-2014-ebc-mini-contest-2

EDIT: November 30, 2014
I'm glad I finished. I got really busy with work in this last month and have a huge project starting tomorrow that I was prepping for the last week or so. NEXT TIME I'm going to focus on getting a good cut. I think I got a little size on my shoulders and I have increased the weights in most of my lifts. I'll work on perfecting my diet and getting on point for my next EBC (about 6 months away).
