Hey guys. I’m a long time lurker that finally signed up here. Here are my my stats in a nutshell:
Age: 22 (23 this summer)
Height: 6’0"
Weight: Anywhere from 235-245 depending on hydration, clothing, stomach contents, etc. I’m guess completely naked first thing in the morning after a piss I’d be 230-235.
Bodyfat: Sorry, no clue. It is higher than I’d like, but not too bad.
Hopefully I can eventually get some pictures up to give you an idea. Basically all my extra weight is the dreaded spare tire, while the rest of my body relatively lean and defined. I have upper abs visible some times. I hope I can lower my bodyfat a bit, but not my main goal at the moment.
Training experience: Approaching almost 6 years of serious training. I’ve mainly used low-volume training in the past. For what it’s worth, when I started lifting I was around 175ish, not much leaner, same height.
I’ve been on my first steroid cycle for just shy of 3 weeks now. It isn’t the typical first time Test E cycle (due to my sources price and availability), but I did research and consult some of the more respected members here. I’m running Sustanon at 125mg (1/2 ml) EOD with 30mg of D-Bol ED for the first 4 weeks. I start HCG at after 4 weeks. I have Arimidex on hand. Cycle will be roughly 12 weeks long.
My current training routine is a bit of an experiment. I’m doing low volume training for 3 days hitting all the major muscles groups, then take a day off, then perform the routine again, but using higher reps (more of a bodybuilder routine), though still not doing a crazy amount of sets. Looks like this:
Day 1: Heavy back, traps, and biceps
Day 2: Heavy chest, shoulders, and triceps
Day 3: Heavy thighs, calves, and abs.
Day 4: Off
Day 5: Light back, traps, and biceps
Day 6: Light chest, shoulders, and triceps
Day 7: Light thighs, calves, and abs.
Day 8: Off
Repeat
I’ve never hit a muscle group more than once a week directly in the past, but I figure with the the steroids my recovery should allow me to, and so far I haven’t felt over trained.
Not sure how often or how I should be doing cardio. I’d like to do at least 3 or 4 short moderate-high intensity sessions per week to keep my cardio conditioning up or improve it.
I have a diet written out, but I’d be lying if I said I stuck to it a single day, which is part of the reason I’m starting a journal. Being a bit higher in bodyfat, my plan of attack is a high protein diet with a decent amount of carbs, but mostly around my training, sticking to just veggies and protein or shakes in the evening after all the working out is done.
My schedule is somewhat busy, so lately what I’ve been doing is having 2 or 3 large protein shakes made of whey, low-fat milk, flaxseed, oatmeal, and natural peanut butter during the mornings. I work out in the afternoon usually and use a whey/dextrose combo pre and post workout. I’ll have another higher carb meal an hour post training, then it is lower carbs for the rest of the day, not super low though.
Usually have something like 300-500g of cottage cheese with mixed berries a couple times, then steak and mixed veggies for dinner. If I wake up in the middle of the night I try to force myself to make a flaxseed and whey shake.
My supplements are limited, but right now I’m using a multi, fish oils, a B-complex, and a joint support formula. Also use a creatine product.
Okay, so this is a long ass post now. Hopefully I’ll be back tomorrow with a workout to log. Thanks for reading!
I’ll find a cooler avatar someday. I’d knock yours, but unfortunately I can’t because Reagan was the man! (No politics in this thread though please haha.) Oh, and not that it makes a difference, but I’m actually American, just staying in Canada for a little bit.
