This is how you run a cycle.
Thank you!
Looking really good mate them shoulders are capping off real nice now and the chest improvements are very impressive. You keep on doing what your doing obviously it’s working a treat for you
Thank you! Going to keep on truckin to 200
BRAVO!!!! Brother, you put in the fuckin work!!! Way to go. You look F'in AWESOME. What was your protocol and what all did you use?
Keep it up and keep kickin' ass.
Thanks brother much appreciated!! Lifting till I can’t move and eating till I can’t eat more.
I ran Vigorous Steve’s first cycle protocol with minor tweaks. Good shit and very simple — 400 test for 24 weeks, 6 weeks of anavar at 25mg once the test kicked in just for fun/preworkout, and 50mg of Anadrol once a week on my chest days to try to bring it up. Worked well for bringing up my bench. I only needed AI when I started pulsing the anadrol, nips got a bit spicy lol. I got a full breakdown on my profile labeled “first cycle”
Will do! 200lbs is next
Great job, Bro! You obviously worked your ass off
Thanks bro! I appreciate it
Nice Mate - Some real good progress there!!
You look like Dan Green in his prime Lol
Thanks bro I appreciate it, hopefully I can get my lifts halfway near his lol
Isn't it funny that he use to be the Absolute fuckin man back in the day for his bodyweight - now John Haack comes along and blitzes him in every lift at a much lighter bodyweight too - INSANE!!!
John Haack needs to be put in a lab and studied. Putting up those numbers while looking like a physique competitor, insane is right! Dude is Captain America in the flesh
Damn I was just looking at pics and just saw this. Nice shoulders and I agree Haack is special. I like the fact that he doesn't have that typical pot belly gut that's akin to a damn sling shot but yet claims to lift alot with that gut, Lol pathetic. Some folks talk to just talk....well that guy walks the walk, big difference. A lesson for those clown powerlifters or whatever they claim to be. A damn Circus show lol. Keep up the good work brother.
Funny how much ya liked that Fat guy Anthony Clark eh? LMFAO
Thank you, I appreciate it. Yeah there's a huge difference between Haack and the guys 1/4 repping the bar off their stomach lol. Will do! Gotta get to a lean 200lbs next.
Don't even pay attention to the lil insecure guy. Him high jacking your post with this foolishness and lies says it all.
You have NEVER competed Dwayne, we all know that - its just ANOTHER lie you parrot to try and look better than others. The only so called Powerlifter I know of thats obsessed with how lean other people are - REAL powerlifters are never lean as they are permenantly bulking to get stronger. Who's 5'5 ya Retarded Imbecile? LMAO
Funny how you NEVER take ya top off in all these 100's of VAIN selfies you bore us all to death with ain't it? Is that because that tiny little chest of your is too embarrassing to show because it gets ZERO activation under ya Multi Ply Bench Shirt HAHAHA
Press's version of Powerlifting: Squat, Bench, Deadlift ALL RAW and lifted properly
Dwaynes (SheMan/Bench405) version of powerlifting: Lay in a Bench Press Shirt
Seriously Dwayne, I always feel like I need a Lobotomy after conversing with you.
What's even funnier mate is have you seen these Idiots who wear these Bench Press Shirts - Where you get 4 or 5 of these trussed up Turkeys all tightly wrapped up in these shirts, that help them lift at least another 200 pounds on top of what they can lift RAW!! They then all high five each other saying 'It was all you bro as they huddle around a bench station'
Bro there is this Clown on here who does EXACTLY that - Goes round telling everyone he can bench 600 when in reality he cannot even lift 400 RAW. Tells anyone who will listen to his Bullshit. Its sad really as there are quite a few guys who can lift 405 on here and I watch this retarded Idiot telling them all he can lift 600 when in reality THEY are much stronger than he is. As many guys have told me on here though, even his friends - they all see through the clear bullshit he parrots on a daily basis.
Ohh and name dropping too, loves doing that LMAO He's BEST mates with Ronnie Coleman & even his Mum too - Yeah round for Dinner every other night of the week. Yeah you can garauntee, anything or anyone you know - He knows much better
O yeah for sure! O yeah that slingshot gut. Not sure how they claim a big bench when the bar moves 1 or 2 inches. I bet it could catapult an Astronaut to the moon lolol. I mean when I see a big guy moving alot of weight that's impressive but when I see a smaller, lean guy, without a mountain sized stomach lift heavy weight raw then that's more impressive to me. I love the powerlifting game man. But anyways I think you'll look good at 200. Good luck and be safe.
Who on earth has a RAW Bench like that who can also legitimately pull over 900 in his hands at 215? Its unheard of. That guy must have the strongest shoulder capsules and tendons known to man. Doesn't act like one of these hyped up idiots or big himself up in anyway - just gets on and does it. Lets his numbers do the talkin instead of running his lips.
His deadlift makes no sense, guys weighing 70lbs more than him can't pull like that! Tendons of steel and tear-proof muscles lol. Yeah his stoic attitude always throws me off, calmest I have ever seen someone go at weights that big. Definitely a guy to emulate.
That’s how you do it right there
In this first 8 weeks your chest exploded, like 90% of your chest growth happened in those weeks, good shit bro, was this natural or on gear?
Thanks man! I had some size on my chest 8 years ago but lost it all since. So got that back plus a bit extra! It was on gear for 24 weeks. Full cycle is my first post, it was 400 test, some anavar preworkout for fun, and once a week anadrol for the chest days.
Ya that muscle memory is wild huh? I’ve had similar results I was bigger years ago. Then like 18months ago I was 130 pounds and then got up to 205 now I’m back down to about 186-193 depending on the day. My stomachs all messed up so I’m struggling with the food. But I was skinny like you too, actually I was even skinnier lol
It only gets worse as you get older. I have to see a gastro doctor soon followed by an allergist. I’ve been having stomach issues for a long time except when I was following the Mediterranean diet. I’m starting to think I’m having an issue with salad. This is why it’s hard for me to stay around 215 lbs and also why I’m having sleep issues.
Ya it’s destroyed my sleep as well. Another possibility I’ve researched is having too little stomach acid. When you have heart burn you think it’s too much acid but I can actually be caused by too little. Your esophagus closes once there’s a certain amount of acid there so it doesn’t come up and give you heart burn but if you don’t have enough to signal that then it just stays open and it allows the acid to come up and that’s when you feel heartburn. But also having too little stomach acid means your food is leaving your stomach and going into the intestines and everything without being broken down as much as it should be. Hence all the digestive trouble. So if you also get indigestion and heart burn too then that me be something to look into, there’s like little tricks you can try at home to try and see if you have it. I haven’t tried them yet bet I actually might do them today
Muscle memory is a brilliant gift the gods gave us . I had rotator cuff surgery months off came back from that and has a full bicep rupture 2 weeks later , so had surgery for that then thought fuck it and had knee surgery I had been putting off. I had been blasting and cruising for years , came off everything thought I would give my self time to rest and recharge. Got very depressed and ended up having about 18 months off in total. I was about 32 -34 at the time anyways for my head together got back on the gear and in the gym and I was back to where I was after all those years of training in 2-3 months . Conveniently I tore my other bicep off last year and had surgery for that so they both look the same now lol … and I trained right up until the day I had surgery this time around and was back training 8 weeks later.
Jesus man that's bloody hardcore!! I have heard about this before where once the rotator cuff is damaged the bicep attachment underneath becomes weak and distorted and is very prone to shearing. Did you have the biceps stretched, stapled and reattached then?
What are you doing to fix it
I’ve been trying everything, digestive enzymes, probiotics, TONS of laxities, then I had sulfur burps so I tried some antibiotics cause those burps can mean a stomach infection, I tried these 90$ probiotics, I’ve tried kombuch, heating pads, teas, different anti-acids, pepto bismal, I made kale smoothies everyday, basically everything on planet earth other than a colonoscopy lol. So what happens is a get mega constipated for like a week and so I can hardly eat during that cus I don’t want to add to it when it starts getting painful, then as that fades away, the sulfur burps start coming and massive amounts of air building up, so much that you can physically see my stomach sticking out in the night it’s the worst and for some reason it builds up like crazy while laying down and i cannot burp until I stand up, so every few hours I wake up feeling like I’m pregnant with a flaming baby and so I jump up and after standing for like ten seconds I let out a few burps from hell that are literally like gallons and gallons of air (idk how you measure air but it’s a lot) and you can see my stomach go back down. Then after a week of that it fades away and the constipation starts up and the cycle continues. I saw I’m gunna go to a doctor but then I’ll be fine for a week or two so I don’t go but then it starts again. It’s probably been six months since I’ve been able to gain a single pound cus I can’t eat like I’m bulking anymore. I feel ok right now but my constipation just cleared up like 5 days ago so I’m just waiting for the air/burps to start up again.
That's a hell of a whirlwind! Doctor would definitely be a good idea with that combination of issues. You may have nuked your stomach biome trying the various stomach aides.
A 24hr-48hr water fast could help reset but it sounds like your stomach changes up how it runs week by week now. I have similar stomach issues, excessive bloating/gas, indigestion, constipation then the complete opposite the next week. Only thing that helped was removing food altogether for two days and then slowing adding things back in one by one. If an issue popped up again, I water fasted for another day and restarted. That's a bit of an extreme measure though, fasting has its benefits but isn't all that healthy either.
Food allergy testing could help too, you may have developed a food allergy you didn't have in the past and that could be torching your digestion and causing inflammation. Get that doctor appointment made brother, living like that is miserable!
So I think fasting would help I haven’t wanted to do it. I lose weight so quickly, I’m like fighting to keep my weight on lol. So if I were to fast for two days I’d probably lose like 10 pounds amd I’ve just not wanted to do that but I might have to!
Yeah the rebound from under eating/starving yourself is wild, crazy what the body can handle. Digestion has been my biggest issue too, going from barely eating to putting down ridiculous amounts of rice locks you up real quick lol. Sounds like we were in a similar spot, glad to hear you're back up! Being that underweight does some brutal shit to your brain
I bulked for like a year straight (bad idea) I should’ve done mini cuts every once in awhile to reset digestion and insulin sensitivity and metabolism. But usually my stomach is like bullet proof. When I’m bulking I drink like 3 gallons of milk a week, protein powder doesn’t bother me. Red meat, everything is fine for my stomach and then all of a sudden now I’m fucked. I wrote up all my issues above^ it’s super long so I don’t want to type it again lol
What’s the cycle?
400 test, anavar for 6 weeks once the test kicked in, and anadrol once a week on my chest days.
