Gents,
First off, thanks to all who have posted here over the years. Makes obtaining information on this stuff much easier for a newb such as me.
Secondly, apologies for starting yet another one of these threads. But I feel I need clarification / validation on a few issues from experienced users before I purchase and begin my first cycle.
Background:
Age: 24
Dimensions: 190cm, 105kg, 14% BF
Training: Have been lifting for approx 5 years. 10RM: BP :115kg,. DL: 140kg, Squat : 160kg. (We use kg in Auz, so apologies to everyone just about everywhere else in the world converting to pounds in their head)
I have dieted and trained fairly consistently over these years and have experimented with a number of different training protocols (mainly with progressive load variations i.e. HST, MAX OT.)
I’m at the stage now where I feel I am close to maximising my body’s ability to support more muscle tissue, hence the desire to use AAS.
I’m in no rush to put on massive amounts of mass (maybe 5-8 kg over 8 - 12 months). And my goal is to have a greater number of myonuclei than I did before and add additional new muscle fibers. Then try to support it the best I can naturally.
Inspired by articles and posts by Bill Roberts and Bryan Haycock I have decided that a 2 on 4 off cycle length structure will best fit my needs (as I intent to train using HST principals while cycling).
And since Test P is about the only compound not available through my contact I’m resigned to what I think to be a fairly synergistic oral stack of D-Bol and Var or D-rol and Var or D-rol and Winny.
(Please no replies on liver function or about cycle optimisation through pinning) I have considered these and am aware of the downsides / consequences.
Considering the anecdotal evidence (that D-rol is pretty intense) and shutdown quite severe with these combos Iâ??m leaning towards the D-Bol and Var stack.
What I was hoping for help with is the following:
-
Confirmation of the relative synergy of the pairing?
-
Optimising my dosages and the synergy between the pair. i.e. X amount of D-Bol combined with Y amount of Var?
-
And at what times during the day and night should I be taking this combo (again to optimise)?
-
Advice on minimising gyno with this combo (I have a relatively minor case of pubertal gyno currently and want to employ best practise protocols to prevent further onset).
-
Training Frequency and AAS
This is what I have come up with without a great deal of confidence.
Weeks 1-2 - I really have no idea in regards to a dosing timetable
60mg/d Var ed divided into 3 doses ed
50mg D-bol ed divided into 3 doses ed
.125 mg Adex ed
Weeks 3-5
Nolva 20mg 2x/D
Week 6
Nothing
Repeat cycle two more times.
Training:
I have a quote from a respected author which states:
â??Focusing on volume would be better than on frequency. Androgens don’t accelerate the rate at which a cell repairs itself or builds protein. Androgens enhance the magnitude of the responseâ??
â??better results will be obtained doing more sets per workout, rather than doing more workouts, as long as you are using a ~48 hour frequency. Take your days off to focus on getting an appropriate amount of protein and good carbs.â??
Despite this, I continue to hear that AAS increases the bodyâ??s ability to recover from a workout, meaning the frequency variable can be increased. I would be interested to heat thoughts on this.
Any constructive advice and input will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
LR
