Hey guys i will be starting this new log. Ive currently been off cycle for a little over two months. I plan on going natty for a while if not forever due to blood pressure issues. I came off my last cycle at 228 and am holding onto a solid 226 right now. My last course was a 1,200 mgs of Deca a week and 500 mgs of Primo a week with 100 mgs of dbol a day. I will not be able to train legs this week due to a tendinitis like feeling in both ankles and calf area. Currently taking a prescribed anti inflammatory called naproxen. Hopee this subsides soon because its really bothering me not being able to train legs as my legs were really starting to come in the way i wanted.

Nice log phil. You are strong as an ox. Your volume would destroy me. Your diet reminds me a lot of mine, lots of complex carbs and fruit. I forget, how tall are you?
i got some pics posted from when i was like 207 if you look through my previous threads. I have one when i was 212 but its not a posing pic its just me in a guinea t.
seems like your eating a ton of cals and carbs... I'd like to see what you look like
I put a pic down there from when i was about 212. Sorry its not a posing pic and its odd i have a beer in my hand because i rarely ever drink so its a little out of character. Never counted my exact calories would any of you guys have a guestimate to where im at?

what up phil!? Nice delts man!! Swole for sure.
Use www.fitday.com to track cal's. It's great. Once you get all your odd stuff entered and such, it's a breeze. then you can cut and paste your macro's to your Journal.
Also, nice choice of supps. Trib has never done jack for me but I really like DHEA, BCAA's, and Glutamine. Scratch the BSN Axis HT, it's just ZMA, Trib, and dhea derivatives. You should be covered without it.
What are your goals for this cycle? ..besides staying natty.
thanks for the link bro. My goals are to try to atleast keep my size and make some improvement on to my weak points(putting more detail into my shoulders, adding more size to my rear delts and calves, Id also like to open up my lats a little more and improve on my lower back.
i put everything into fit day it didnt shakes or anything in there so i just addded that math myself. Seems that i am just under 6,000 calories. Protein about 360. Carbs about 650 fat about 200.
I also forgot to mention my body felt really worn out friday so idecided to take a 3 day rest and i will probably be doing chest biceps and triceps tomorrow. Ankle took a spiral for the worse. But i spoke w my aunt whos a physical therapist and ive got some protocol to follow. Hot and cold back and forth for twenty minutes twice a day. Ive also bought 2 ankle braces and ive got some exercises to help rid my legs of the inflammation. Stupid ass hacksquats with stupid ass weight caused this injury.
