Ok, so today I got to start my next cycle. One ive been looking forward to for a while...
This is what it entails:
100mg test prop
320mg supertest
150mg NPP
every 2nd day for 12 weeks

40mg dbol each day for weeks 1 to 4

So that gives a total of around 1260mg test and 450mg NPP per week.

Starting stats are:
80kg (my heaviest weight off cycle)
8% bf

Bicep: 43cm
Tricep: 39cm
Quad: 104cm
Chest: 109cm
Waist: 73cm

Diet is as discussed previously, around 5000cal when spot on

Goals for this cycle:
Bf down to sub 5%, weight as close to 90kg as possible (I dream big and go for it!)

Below are some pics from today to log progress

Um, but im scared of needles...

Spike why not do photos against a door, same place,same time each week,get your mrs to do the pgotos and then u got a full body shot,front and back, that way it will be easy to compare photos each 2 weeks.

Good luck bro, is this a pre-contest cycle? If not why get to sub-5% instead of just bulking up to low teens and do a proper cutting/pre-contest cycle closer to your show date?

Sorry guys Apparently it is true, cause its happened to certain people already, so I’m not taking any chances !!

Keen to watch your progress, our goals and stats are simiilar. Your body fat %, how accurate is that - judging by abs my body fat must be very similar.

Anyway, good luck and I hope you reach your goals!

regz: I'm 1.79m

DG: this is a bulking cycle for me, but I know my body and how test reacts with it... The decrease in bodyfat just happens when I'm on cycle, even eating close on 5000 cal a day... Its crazy but it happens everytime. Test hardens me up and makes me leaner :/ but I will be eating to ''bulk''

Mike: I had a caliper test done and the results varied depending on the formula used, from 7 to 10... That pic is very relaxed and with a full tummy, I'll post an abs pose and you can compare

Haha, true. Suppose deadgoat refers more the the diet component. of course most people would gain extra fat along with muscle on a high calorie diet and bulking cycle, but not everyone

Just under a week in and the dbol are starting their job. Had an insane chest workout today, stamina is back with a vengeance, just kept going and going with heavy sets. Weight is up to 81.5kg so thats 1.5kg (of water most likely)

Ok, so im at the midway point of the cycle, 5 weeks in... I had a set back in terms of a subluxed sternocostal joint 2 weeks ago, which limited my upperbody training for 2 weeks. And this week i've had a bit of flu :(

But nonetheless im going for broke. Weight was 85kg exactly today, and none of my clothes fit (i have a wedding tomorrow and trying to put together an outfit has been damn tricky, as half my shirts dont fit at all, and th few that do certainly wont button up at the collar :/)

Im feeling the test bigtime, looking lean and vascular... Will put some pics up next week.

Those with experience on NPP, when do you notice the biggest effect?

Still pushing for 90kg

Um, but im scared of needles...

this...... Same boat, I have gone from medium to XL,had to spend so much on clothes including new work clothes which cost a fortune.. Also have an event tomorrow and my suit won't fit, eventually ended up raging and will have to try get to a rental place some time tomorrow ha ha..

That 90kg mark is close, you will definitely reach it.

To you it may look like I just did a push-up... But in fact, I just bench-pressed the world.

@jack: Awesome, so still more to look forward to :) as well as the longer esters from the supertest still to kick in. I may add an extra vial of each at the end and extend by 3 weeks.

@chapel: Yep, i used to be a medium too. These shirts are all large, but now it looks like XL is up next. Still feels weird to go shopping and pick up a large, gonna be even weirder looking for XL... My mind still thinks in terms of Small and Medium. I generlly take a medium and a large into the changeroom, try the large on and realise im kiding myself by even picking up the medium... But there is no better way of judging your growth than seeing old shirts stop fitting your arms and shoulders, and pants getting tight on the thighs

Um, but im scared of needles...

Hey bud, good to hear your growth is on the up. Its always a great feeling when your clothes start getting tight. Its like you need to sets of wardrobes - one for bulking and one for cuttin lol. Are you only going to run cycle 10weeks?

Spike how are you finding the Supertest bud? Have the longer esters not kicked in yet? Results are looking good, I'm sure you're gonna be very happy by the time you're done!

Ten weeks minimum... i may extend it a bit if its going well.

Supertest is great, grown nicely on it in the past. Long esters not kicking in yet, but they should soon

Good to hear, I'm sure they will kick in soon. When you ran the Supertest in the past, what were your gains like?
