So I bought some posing briefs. But too scared to even put them on in company, nevermind go anywhere near a camera.

Respect to anyone that looks good enough to wear these things. Because mine is staying hidden under the bed.

I suppose having to wear that for photos is in itself motivation to kick ass at the gym. Lots of work to do. Respect to the pros out there.

Dude.. Just wear a flipping pair of boxers and take some photos. You don't need posing trunks or to be kaalgat.

Hi guys,

Can I ask the Forums opinion on Ostrich Fillet from Woolies as opposed to normal lean fillet?

Nate

Ostrich steak is a great alternative to beef fillet. Go ahead and chow.

When CHAPEL is talking afrikaans he must be serious

@ Nate, you better make sure if and when you post another photo its not exposing anything "below the belt". . If you do I will ban your account.

Understood Oupa

Thanks Muscle Addict. I really appreciate this.
I see Woolies has brilliant sealed Ostrich Fillets. Definitely going to give it a shot.

Last question, I heard from a mate a long time ago that phenylalanine is bad for you. Is this true.

Regards, Nate

Meh, that's only because aspartame is bad for you if taken in excess and phenylalanine is a main ingredient of aspartame. Too much of anything is bad for you, but your body needs phenylalanine to function normally.

Excellent. Thank you

Hey Fillet,

Just want to check regarding test prop during the bridge.
I know its pinning every two days for first 40 days of bridge to keep up my anabolic state.
I see you and others mention 150mg a pin. Is 250mg not the way to go?

Regards, Nate

250mg EOD will = roughly 1000mg every 7 days. It's really extreme and it will cost you a packet and a half.

Here is your answer Nate

How are your gains coming on?

The explanation is that less is more. 150mg EOD will give you 600mg a week which for a "beginner" is way more than plenty. Anything more than the 150mg will just be wasting especially with your weight and bf %. Remember the body can only take so much in. When the glass is full you can't full it up anymore.
Hope it makes sense?!

Hi Fillet,

My strength is up but my weight gains have slowed a bit from the extreme gains in the first three weeks. Am up to just under 90kg now, but will do proper measurements again at the end of the month.
So the forum is saying 250 is a no go?

Thanks again, Nate

Hi T-Style,

Thank you. I follow you yes.
So you reckon that with my cycle and the planned extended bridge because of the deca, that 250 test prop is simply a waste?

Warm Regards, Nate

Ye 250mg would be overkill bud.

Yes....waste of gear and a waste of money Nate.....Stick to 150mg I promise these guys won't mislead you. Lol

Those gains are more than likely water Nate.
A bit of advice and many guys here will back me up.
STAY OFF THE SCALE. Lol
Use the mirror and photos to check your progress. If it's visible to you then it's definitely visible to others that don't see you everyday.
keep training hard and eating correct and your gains will come sooner than later. Remember deca takes a min 6 weeks before seeing the effects.

Thanks T-Style / Fillet,

I see visible changes in my arms and lats in particular, and my strength has increased a lot. I pinned this morning and then hit the gym hard for over an hour doing back. Two months ago I couldn't do a pullup, this morning I did three sets to full breakdown. It felt amazing.

A few minutes into the workout I had this taste in my mouth. I guess it could have been the test or deca? But something has definitely changed.

I will stay off the scale. I realize that some of the gains could be water retention, but my body fat percentage is definitely dropping and I don't feel bloated at all, so must be making some solid gains.

I know there was opposition to me doing a deca cycle as a first cycle, or even doing a cycle at all. But guys I feel extraordinary. I could never have gone this hard in the gym otherwise.

I will take take your advice and keep working hard. And will continue increasing my food intake. I would say it is already double what it was two months ago, and with the lean whey shakes added, my protein is up probably 200%.

Thanks again, Nate
