4 months with no gym and maintenance

[Raphael3636]

So after 4 months so far, I def lost some weight and strength, normally I sit around 220, in this pic I’m 210, no pump shot, and zero cardio done ( fuck cardio lol ) but just goes to show you if you stick to your goals you can always adapt and overcome. All I had access to was 2 x 20lb dumbbells 1 x 25lb dumbbell and a set of resistance bands but I never said fuck it and stopped my lifestyle. Once gyms open I’ll start a proper cycle and diet again and muscle memory will sure as hell show up. Currently running all @SRx at low to moderate doses, cause to be honest theres no reason to go higher to maintain. 400 test Cyp , 300 - 500 Tren A, 25-50mgs Winstrol on and off as well as Sdrol at 20mgs PWO on and off, oh and GH is at 4iu ED

@Raphael3636 - great job with the maintenance phase and getting your workouts in with this whole COVID shut down. Looking good bro !

 

[Raphael3636]

Yea man it’s a really big wrench that’s thrown in to my lifestyle, but “scared money don’t make no money” has and is my mindset, thanks for the kind words @evo @John @Youts @McSwickles , it’s shit like that that motivates the hell outta me

It’s funny I. My mind I just picture all reps as big mass monster type people but that might also be cause I’m a big person and one day may walk around 260 at 12%

 

[Raphael3636]

That’s what’s up man! That’s a big fella walking down the street!! I’ve done physique comps (back in my prime lol late 20s early 30s ) and modeling for quite some time, I need to keep a certain physique/ " look" to maintain contracts. I’ve been in the 260 range before, felt ungodly, but to be honest I get tired of packing in food as much as I could, became very lethargic in that weight range. I could’ve kept pushing myself, cause that’s my mentality, but at my age with kids and wife, I can’t put my health in jeapordy anymore though. And I’m talking big doses bro, over 4g of AAS ew. Tren in the 1k’s, stupid shit lol

 

[Dirtnasty]

I mean 260 is where I’m
At right now and I know I can add a good bit of muscle and drop a good bit of fat. Once I hit a few goals on lifts I may try and lean out as much as possible. I should say for my genetics 15% maybe more like the percent I will be at smallest

 

[Outlawthing]

Yeah I’m with dirt on this one I always figured reps would be a walking meat market but im a bigger guy too I can carry 260 easy I look lean at 220 205 people think I’m on drugs cause I’m skinny but you look great especially with such a limited arsenal to workout with were you doing any p90x type stuff too

 

[NeuroRN]

Looking good bro! Proud of you for still figuring something out during all this. Dedication is admirable.

 

[Raphael3636]

Just calisthenics bro, push ups, pull ups, dips off the sink, jailhouse style lol

 

[Outlawthing]

Push up and pull ups are great to get past a plateau anytime I get stuck. I will throw some push ups in the mix there are so many ways to do them jail house style so it was ramen noodles and toilet wine
Huh?

 

[Raphael3636]

Haha you already know

 

[John]

@Raphael3636 I understand about feelin crappy tryin to eat to much, biggest I’ve ever been was 210, and I was miserable eating so much and pinning all short esters ED, looked outfuckingstanding, but really I do this for fun I want to be strong and look good, why would I make mySelf miserable, so i stopped all the short esters and ate less, but I was feelin much better

 

[John]

I mix push ups in

 

[Raphael3636]

Yeah I’m at that point in my life where it’s not worth it if I’m miserable, just like you said I’m in it now to look good naked for wifey, and a photo shoot here and there

 

[johnjuanb1]

Making the female members wet.

 

[BBSQ5]

Looking good brother! Workouts are definitely different without gym, and I felt like the bands and P90X were keeping me sane, but I was very thankful when gyms reopened here. I think it’s crazy that they still have states with gyms closed, if folks are somewhat following the rules.
