The dude I work out with is 6' 240 and pretty lean, <15%. He is a monster. You got the height, just harden that weight up.

For you guys that run gear, (you know all the lurkers:D) I can't stress enough about getting blood work done regularly. Full hormone panel, lipids, liver, kidneys.

For notes, I'm 180 around 12-13% BF. Taking test 500mg/wk and deca 500mg/wk. deca converts to E2 at around 20% the rate of testosterone. I've been using 1mg of Arimidex 3 times a week. Arimidex is an estrogen blocker, prevents test from converting to Estrogen, via the aromatase enzyme.

My blood work came in, every thing looked great except my E2 was bad low! Range is 25-65, mine came in at 9. I feel great, but would have never known without bloods! Look after yourselves guys.

500mg/wk of T would have me walking around with a constant full on raging boner 24/7

Good luck.

I made it through the first three weeks before I called in, but I was in a calorid deficit.

A friend of mine finished it while also running Smolov Jr for bench and added 130 lbs to his squat

I always take whey because it cheap even though it's not the best for when I take it. Was gold standard chocolate mocha cappuccino, been taking allmax allwhey, 48 bucks at s2 for 5 pounds. Gold standard is like 63 now for 5 pounds. My buddy buys 5 pound bags of gold standard at Costco for like 53.
