Argon's Summer Cut Log!
 

That's right guys, I'M IN!

I was hesitant at first because I'm currently on bulking compounds but I want to thank Dustind83 and HugeTom for the encouragement!

STATS
- I'm 5 feet, 9 inches tall
- I weigh 190lbs
- I'm chubby, atleast 15-17% bodyfat
- I imagine a good lean weight for me will be 170-175lbs at 10-11% hopefully with abs and good definition.


Current compounds:
500mg of Kalpa Test C, split Mon and Fri.
Arimidex 1mg with each pin

I plan to order some Tren Ace in a couple weeks and I also have some Kalpa winny tablets on the way. I will switch to test prop once I receive these products.


Training
I'm doing a push, pull, legs split currently. I also like to do upper/lower so I will switch between those every 4 weeks or so.

I currently do zero cardio, so I will be adding in 3 walk/jog sessions around the lake I live by. The lake is about a mile around it so I will start off with two laps around.


Diet
I've usually eat crap, anything I desire! For this cut I will definitely tone down the junk food and soda. I will drink only water and diet sodas! I will get some sugar free snacks and candies. I'll switch to stevia in my coffee. I am going to increase the protein intake and lowered the carbs, especially sugar! I would say high protein and moderate carb should work for me.


Supplements
The only supplements I'll be using for now is:
Whey protein powder (1-2 fruit/banana smoothies/day)
Fish oils 4-6g
Multivitamin
Carditone
Vitamin C 500mg
Aspirin 81mg
1-2, 12-16oz cups of folgers coffee daily 2 tbsp of grounds/cup.

I'm going to buy some L-carnitine, CLA and any other supplements that promote fat burning!


THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME GUYS!

Before Pics
 

In my defense I had just eaten a double meat patty melt with fries and a coke from whataburger. Nice and bloated Lol!

Glad you joined brother I'm jealous of whataburger though. As you know none around here

Thanks brother and yeah but I'm gonna have to say bye to Whataburger for a while! Besides maybe a grilled whatachicken sandwich, lol..

Today (Friday morning) I pinned 1cc of Kalpa test C, 250mg. Decided to continue with 500mg of test in order to finish the bottle I was using. Just finished my 3rd week on this dose. I also took .5mg of Kalpa Arimidex. Will train upper body tomorrow. Already trying to clean up my diet.

Just hit a really good Back and biceps workout. I took some extra days off so I had a really good pump! Sometimes when you start feeling exhausted and aren't growing (or even losing fullness) you gotta take a few days off. Surprisingly you'll actually grow bigger from the time off thanks to super compensation! My biceps were actually looking/feeling jacked before this workout despite not training them for 9-10 days!

Supinated Wide grip Chin-ups - 3 x 8 w/perfect form

Chest supported incline bench rows - 3 x 10 w/55s

Dumbbell Curls - 3 x 10 w/35s (supinating, supinated and hammer)

Rear delt Flyes - 3 x 15 w/20s

Legs, wheels, limbs.



Front Squats

Romanian Deadlifts

Leg Extensions

Lying Leg Curls


I did 3-4 sets of 10 reps for everything, pyramiding up in weight. Weights were moderate so nothing to brag about. I don't usually go below 10 reps on my front squat day.

I took 40mg of Kalpa Dbol pre-workout and felt like a champ.

Tomorrow I'm gonna walk a couple laps around the lake, so 2-2.5 miles.

Just smashed a Push workout! It was bad ass, I had a great pump to where my delts were burning!

- Bench press: 2 warm ups, 3 work sets of 8

- Neutralgrip DB Shoulder Press 3 work sets of 7-8 reps.

- Incline Flyes 3 works sets of 10-12

Lateral raises (slight forward lean) 2 rest pause work set of 20.

Great pump, loving the Kalpa testosterone and Dbol which I take 40mg pre-workout!' still taking 500mg of test. More like 600mg if you count the random test base and prop I pinned Wednesday for a mid week boost.

Wheels day is a love/hate relationship lol

I know! Lol, but luckily the gear makes recovery much more manageable!

I decided to go ahead and switch to test prop and begin my winny tabs tomorrow. I should be receiving DHB by the 20th.

My cut cycle outline:

- Test prop 50mg/day (I will drop this in the last week)

- DHB 50mg/day

- Winstrol 20mg/day (pyramid dose up to 50mg/day)

I am doing my cardio outside in 90+ degree heat, so that should allow for a good thermogenic effect. I'm at 25 minutes EOD and I will gradually increase that to 45 mins, 4-5 days a week. Weight Training will remain as Push, pull, legs, 3 days a week, plus a massive pump session right before i take "after" photos. Let's do it!

Sunday's Pull Day

Pre-workout: 10mg Winstrol, 50mg test base, 500iu HCG


Chins: 3 sets to near failure, 3rd set beyond failure via partials.

1-arm DB Row: 3 progressive sets of 10 reps

Supinating Curls: 3 progressive sets of 10 reps

Hammer Curls: 2 progressive sets of 10 reps


Tommorow: cardio

Did a 'heavy' squat day. Pinned 75mg test base and took 10mg winny. What I'm basically doing, since I'm only hitting legs once a week is this:

Week 1: Work up to a 5 rep max
Week 2: Work up to a 3 rep max (using 2.5-5% more weight than the 5rm, so I'll easily hit 3 reps)
Week 3: Work up to max set of 5 using previous 3RM.
Week 4: deload with sets of 10 front squats.

My top sets today

Back Squats: Bar x 10, 135 x 5, 205 x 3, 265 x 5 (clean)

Romanian DL: Bar x 5, 95 x 5, 145 x 6 nice stretch to mid shin

Lunges: BW for 2 x 10 getting the groove down, can easily do 30s or 40s

1-leg Calf Raises 4 x 10-15

Real simple and basic, still working on catching up leg strength and size since I never used to train them. Trust me, this is really good for me, lol.


I did my 92 degree cardio yesterday, lol just one lap around the lake so about 20 mins since leg day was the next day. I'm going to start jacking up the cardio to 2 laps around the lake for about 40 mins of hot, thermogenic cardio every other day for now so I'm basically lifting 3 days a week and doing 3-4 cardio sessions. I'll be starting DHB soon instead of tren.

Got in exactly 40 min of brisk walking this morning. I walked around the lake twice and around the pond once. Broke a nice sweat! I've switched to diet soda and sugar free snacks.... I have about 7 weeks to lose this lard!

Classic Chest and Biceps Day Folks!

(Fueled by 75mg Test Base)

Bench Press
Incline Press
Incline Flyes
Barbell Curls
dumbbell Curls

I'm training 3 days a week plus 3-4 cardio session on off days, which is walking 2 laps around the lake so about 40 mins.


Training schedule is inspired by Dorian Yates's old routine when he did a 3-day split.

Mon: Back, Shoulders and Tris

Wed: Legs

Fri: Chest and Biceps


Maybe it's my genetics or metabolism but I just get better results training 3 rather than 4-5 days. I can recover from more days of training, but results seem slower and I feel like I'm just going through to motions. With a day off after each session I feel like I can go hard. With the cardio I'm active atleast 6 days a week so that's pretty good to me.

Here is Sunday's Back, Shoulder and tricep workout. It was a hell of a workout, more tiring than I expected and was my first time working that combo of muscles together.

Chin-Ups 3 sets - 10, 9, 8

One-arm Db Row 2 sets - 55 x 10, 75 x 10

Neutralgrip Db Shoulder Press - 45 x 12, 55 x 10, 55 x 8

Lateral Raises 15 x 20, 25 x 15, 25 x 15

One-arm Db Tricep Extension, superset with curls 25 x 13, 25 x 13


Today I did another two laps around the lake at around 10am, 40 minutes of steady state cardio in the heat.

I started 100mg of DHB w/50mg of test prop on Saturday and did another pin today with .5mg of arimidex. I'm a lucky one who doesn't seem to experience hardly any PIP at all from DHB. Also, since the first shot of DHB, I feel like it has raised my body temperature quite a bit which should aid in thermogenesis.

To recap my cycle:

Mon: DHB 100, Test Prop 50
Wed: DHB 100, Test Prop 50
Fri: DHB 100, Test prop 50, test C 125 (for a weekend boost)

Winny tabs 20mg/day

Last night's Leg session!

Back Squats: 135 x 5, 205 x 3, 275 x 5 (PR), 255 x 5

RDLs: 95 x 8, 145 x 8, 145 x 8

Lunges: BW x 10, 25s x 10, 25s x 10

Calf Raises: 3 sets of 30 reps


Cycle update:

Decided to do 100mg of test prop instead of 50. Increased winny to 30mg/day.

Mon- Test P 100mg, DHB 100mg
Wed- Test P 100mg, DHB 100mg
Fri- Test P 100mg, DHB 100mg, Test C 125mg


Gonna get some walking in today. Just 25min instead of 40 due to some leg soreness. My left quad started cramping halfway through but I shook it off and was able to keep going.

Yesterday was Chest and biceps. Same exercises as last week except I did flat dumbbell flyes instead incline and it actually gave me a way better pump! I didn't go very heavy on pressing due to my right pec still not feeling right when I bring the bar down. I've been stopping several inches above the chest and not going heavy but it's still not healing so I may need to focus on overhead pressing and just do dumbbell pressing for a while for reps. I did this a couple years ago when i had pec issues and it seemed to work.

How's the dhb? I can't take cyp esters so I know it would cripple me

So far the glute shots have only given me mild PIP, I did my 2.5ml pin Friday and I can feel it a little if I press on it with my finger. The PIP in the delts is a little more harsh as it was 2ml in the rear delt, but nothing I can't work around. I'll probably just run it for 6-7 weeks, these 2 bottles and call it a good experiment. I have some Kalpa primo on the way, looking forward to trying it!

Blasted Back, Delts and Tris on Sunday. 80mg test base pre workout. Cup of coffee and half a low carb rockstar energy drink.

Chins: 10, 10 , 10 (last 3 reps were half reps)

One-arm Dumbbell Rows: 55 x 12, 75 x 12

Dumbbell Shoulder Press: 25 x 12, 45 x 10, 60 x 12

Lateral Raises: 10 x 20, 25 x 15, 25 x 15

One-arm Tricep Extension: 25 x 12, 30 x 12

Felt a little run down yesterday, which I suspect is partly due to being around a few Covid recovering in-laws, but I managed to do a deload leg workout after drinking a sugar free monster energy drink and pinning 100mg of Kalpa Test Base.

Front Squats: Bar x 15, 115 x 12, 165 x 5, 185 x 5

Romanian Deadlifts: 115 x 10, 115 x 10

Calf Raises: 2 x 25-30

Wasn't much but I was gassed at this point. But I definitely feel better today. Leg workouts always make me refreshed nthe next day.

How's the dhb with pip?

For me it's not bad bro. Not much different than any other gear, maybe a little harsher.

Ok my Bruddahs, my A/C went out for a couple days so I didn't sleep worth a crap for 2 nights so due to extreme heat in my apt and fatigue, my Thursday chest and bicep workout ended up being 3 sets of pushups and 2 sets of curls.

Tonight however, I had a good Back, Delt and Tri workout.


Chins 3 x 10

One-arm Db Row 55 x 12, 75 x 17-18

Db Military Press 25 x 12, 45 x 10, 60 x 17-18

Lateral Raises 25 x 15, 30 x 17-18

Db skullcrushers 25 x 10, 25 x 12

One-arm Tricep extensions 25 x 15, 25 x 12


Everything was like 5 reps more than last week, the reps just kept going like nothing. I wrote 17-18 reps because I forgot which lifts were 17 or 18 reps but they were all in that range. Might be safe to increase the weight 5lbs, lol.

Cycle recap:

DHB 300mg
Test P 300mg
Winny 30mg/day

(Pinning M-W-F)

Mon & Fri: 500iu HCG and 10mg Cialis

Here is a mid cycle physique update. Starting to see a faint outline of my abs, which is a far cry from the big gut I had in the beginning, LOL..

Upperbody workout from Sunday. Switching to upper lower for a while since I started a fairly physically demanding job, so the upper lower routine will let me train as often or less often as I feel like. I kinda like upper/lower bc after an upper body sessions everything is pump and everything recovers and becomes full and bigger at the same time a few days later, etc.

Standing Military Press
Bar x 12, 95 x 8, 135 x 6 x 3 sets

One Arm DB Row
55 x 12, 85 x 10 x 2 sets

Bench Press
115 x 10, 165 x 10 x 2 sets (I was just happy to be able to bench full range with little irritation in my right pec, reps done very slow and deliberate)

Alternating DB Curls
25 x 10, 35 x 10, 40 x 10

Lateral Raises
25 x 15 x 2 sets


Cup of Joe and 100mg test base, 20mg winny pre workout

I forgot to post my previous Squat workout but I worked up to 280 x 5, but at the 3rd rep my left foot started cramping so I had to rack it early. So I just did another set of 3 to make up for it. I'm certain I would've gotten all 5 reps if my foot didn't cramp. Then I dropped the weight to 205 and banged out 10 reps.

Thank you for your log.

Alright I just hit 285 x 5 on squats for a new PR. This time I drank plenty of water beforehand to ward off my infamous foot cramps that like to occur while having heavier weight on my back. I also squat barefoot in my living room so idk if that contributes. I did get a slight foot cramps going from the 4th to 5th rep but it was mild enough for me to finish the set. I also hit 205 x 12 as a back off set with no problem, just powered through like a mad man on DHB! LOL. Gonna finish up right now with 2-3 sets of RDLs with 115 and 4 sets of 30 reps of calf raises. Keep killing it bros!

Edit: Ok FTR I'm doing 3 x 10 of RDLs w/115 as the first two sets were pretty easy. I'll probably start pyramiding up in weight on these.

I hit upperbody tonight but I was dragging ass all day so my workout sucked too. I did hit a PR on Standing Dumbell Military Press, I did 2 warm ups sets and 2 work sets with the 65s for 10 reps each set, which for me is an all time PR on that lift. Chins, dumbbell chest press, DB curls all sucked and felt hard. Lateral Raises at the end went well as I did the 35s for 10. Oh well

You're looking good argon. Have you tried gh yet?

Man that's still my favorite cycle I've done.
Gh
Kalpa primo
Kalpa sust

Felt great and the primo had me feeling like something great and strong af. I know it's different for everyone but I can't really run tren after running primo. For me that was my favorite cycle ever. With th he primo I pinned 600mg a week and took 50mg kalpa primo ace too. Expensive cycle but their primo I knew was legit. Can't say that for most

Not yet, but I have a kit of hygetropin on the way! Gonna try it at just 2ius per day to start.

You're actually one of the people who inspired me to try primo! I remember you saying how good it made you look and people noticing at the gym, etc. I might only try 300-400mg per week to start.

Take my word and do 6 you're gonna lose your hair either way. I bet you'll thank me later

I know but im trying to preserve it for as long as possible! Lol. I can always take finasteride. I'll do atleast 400mg, maybe 600mg but that's alot of oil to pin..

After Photos
 

Alright GBN, although I wasn't able to get totally shredded in 7 weeks, I did lose 7 lbs and tightened up quite a bit.

Here are my after photos!
