I took advantage of my empty work gym the last couple days (for some reason no one works out on the weekend). I hope I don't drag on too long here, maybe I should be putting this in a log section.

First off apologies for the large number of pics. Just looking to set the bar for myself. I'm about 5 weeks into my current cycle of Test E, Tren E, and EQ (750mg, 450mg, 750mg/per week). Wanted to get up some sort of before shots. Will be running for 16 weeks total before starting PCT.

First off I know that I need to lean out and that is going to be one of the main goals here. I;d like to add that when I started working out 10 years ago I weighed 145lbs. I currently tip the scale at 235lbs (this is dropping by about 1-2lbs per week at the moment). So in my quest to get big I have put on some fat. I am 5'10", and before you call bullshit on my weight, I am unusually heavy/dense for some reason, it does not particularly work in my favour, I agree I should probably weigh closer to 210lbs judging by my pics.

I'm doing weight training (1.5-2hrs) 6 days a week and cardio every other day (usually just 15-20mins). I don't do a traditional split. I usually bounce back and forth between upper body and lower body, and concentrate on say chest, shoulders or back on any given upper body day. Then just hammer out legs to give my upper body a break. I realize I am potentially over training at times, but I don't feel like I do anything when I do 45min 1 body part workouts. I tend to listen to my body and if something is unusually sore I will avoid it and let it heal, but if it feels good I'll work it.

As for diet I have been doing a leangains style intermittent fasting diet for the last 4 weeks. I must say that I am loving it. I typically workout fasted depending on my schedule. I usually chug back BCAA's while fasting to prevent muscle breakdown, although I'm sure the gear helps with this as well. I eat 3000 cals on days off and 3500 cals on work out days. Primarily: eggs, cottage cheese, meat. With potatoes or rice as carbs, I do also eat fruits and veggies. I know alot of people are anti fruit, but it seems to work for me. The IF is a nice change for me since I have been force feeding myself every 2 hours for about 8 years now. I enjoy just having 3 big meals (800-1200 cals each). My macros on workout days are around p/c/f (400/250/100) and on non workout days (350/150/100). I know my fats are high but I've found carbs to be more dangerous for me. I've even debated doing CKD (Cyclical Ketogenic Diet) (cycling no carb days).

One obstacle that faces me is that I work shift work. So for 2 weeks I work 0600-1630, 2 weeks at 1430-0100, and 2 weeks at 2000-0630. I only work 7 out of 14 days though, but still I can't keep a constant schedule.

Critiques welcome! Here are some of my own observations:

I think I am most pleased with my chest and shoulder density, although perhaps a little more on the delts. I think my weakest point is my upper arms and have been concentrating on them this last week. My biceps measure about 17" pumped. I'd like to hit the 18" mark one day.

I'm happy with my calves and I think my thighs are fairly meaty, I'd just like to see some more vascularity and separation which should come with fat loss.

Sorry no back shots right now, however one of my stronger body parts, it lacks definition due to bf%.

Looking forward to feedback.
