The long awaited Stenbolone and dihydroboldenone cycle

[Poppy]

Snatch grip straight leg deadlifts

Those are cruel

 

[NeuroRN]

But so effective.

 

[Poppy]

That’s how you got that back and shoulders two axe handles wide.

 

[NeuroRN]

Hahah I really do them for my upper middle back. Sitting and chatting every two hours does me no favors, and my back will end up hurting back there so I do them and make it stronger and stronger and it hurts less and less!

 

[herrubermensch]

Bumstead looks awesome. There are a couple of competitors I have seen who IMHO are even more aesthetic, though not as jacked.

 

[NeuroRN]

He’s a big dude. There’s no doubt. I think Terrence Ruffin is gonna bring the heat this year.

 

[Dirtnasty]

Yep Breon is done

This covers 6 years. 70lbs gained at the most. Keep making forward motion! Take progress pics, so you can look back and enjoy every struggle, every macro count, every drop of sweat, every moment where you feel like you’re the only one being a savage… this made me feel like it was all very much worth it.

[Poppy]

Heck of an odyssey!

Your hard work had paid off big time. You should be very proud.

 

[NeuroRN]

It’s been a long journey! I’m glad my wife told me to go back and look at how far I had come!

 

[Poppy]

I got to ask. What’s your next milestone? Let’s say by this time 2022.

 

[Poppy]

Very motivating

 

[NeuroRN]

I really don’t know… I’ve been trying to decide what I want to do. 245 wasn’t the most comfortable weight for me. A long time ago @TBU made the analogy of gaining mass to buying a boat. You start with a canoe, then you want a John boat, then you want etc etc.

I’m gonna take some time to reflect and look forward and decide what I want to do. I’m 50/50 at wanting to get bigger or stay this size. I think I’ll definitely cut again while on cruise.

This time next year maybe… maybe… look like I did at 225, but at the 230ish range?

 

[Poppy]

Very interesting. The human body and those that can manipulate it absolutely amaze me. Probably my “hobby” since I was a boy. That’s why I’m always “toying “ around with my body. To see what I can make it do.

 

[NeuroRN]

I think that’s a great way to put it. I never thought I’d be this big… I thought I was a “hard gainer” then I learned nutrition and what my body wanted and needed. I’ve enjoyed pushing it to this size so much. I don’t think I wanna get to the 260 range. My wife would complain about my heaving breathing and “squishing” her for sure

For right now I’ll be shooting to keep it under the 235 range.

Maybe focus some more on mobility and strength, instead of Hypertrophy.

I spent many years massing, I don’t really miss eating 5000 cals a day.

Next cycle will be stenbolone most likely.

 

[Poppy]

focus some more on mobility and strength,

Athleticism…mine got away from me. Probably never get it back. But yes. I believe that it’s important. One of the reasons I got away from powerlifting.

 

[Dirtnasty]

Yeah def different training why I wan to throw some oly lifts in and maybe do pylo for some cardio just can be hard in knees

 

[Poppy]

Oly lifting has always interested me. Closest i got was power cleans and hang cleans.

 

[Dirtnasty]

Did those with shit form and snatch again I have issues with dropping under bar I just throw it up as high as I need instead. No
