@xyle9999 looking jacked and lean bro! Solid work!9-Week Cycle Feedback – Leaner, Stronger, but Feeling the Fatigue (Marathon Prep Inside)
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share a full feedback after 9 weeks on my first cycle — combining a fat loss phase and a marathon prep
Strict diet followed 95% of the time
Progression Data (Week 1 → Week 9)
Metric Week 1 Week 9 Change Weight 83 kg 80 kg -3 kg Waist 91 cm 88 cm -3 cm Cuisse (thigh) 55.5 cm 59.5 cm +4 cm Biceps 37 cm 38 cm +1 cm Chest 102 cm 104 cm +2 cm Body Fat (DEXA est.) ~16.5% 12.9% -3.6% approx.
What worked well
- Body recomposition is real: visible abs, bigger quads, and leaner waist
- Cardio fasted sessions really helped — especially with yohimbine & caffeine stack
- Discipline was key: 0 missed fasted cardio, no missed weight sessions, clean diet 95%
What I’m adjusting now
- Fatigue is creeping in — mostly CNS & joint fatigue
- So I’m now:
Lowering cardio intensity
- Running only on treadmill
- Focusing more on zone 2
- Decreasing total impact
- Adding more recovery strategies
What’s next:
- Week 10 = finishing current cycle
- Week 11 = off week, bloodwork mid-week
- Then starting my second cycle:
- Testosterone Cypionate 250 mg/week
- HGH 4 IU/day
- Continuing Turinabol
- Diet switching to carb cycling
- Goal: stay lean, build more tissue, and recover smarter
Let me know if anyone’s done a similar hybrid prep (cardio + cycle) and how you handled the fatigue, joint stress, or CNS drop.
