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.
