Well, I’m going to try and give every bit of info possible. First, age- 23. Height- 6’0. Weight - 195. Years training - 4+. Starting weight - 140. Since everyone asks, my lifts are Bench 245x5, Squat 300x2, Deads havent been in my program lately as I feel I can hit my hamstrings through squats, lunges and leg curls and it is too much on my back to do them the same day, next day or day before squats.
Ok, now my diet, the most important part of all this in my opinion. It’s a bit Dave Palumbo 'ish but thats because I had good gains on a similar version (less kcals) to his diet naturally :
MEAL 1: 6 whole omega-3 eggs with 1 cup of oatmeal
MEAL 2: Meal Replacement SHAKE (normally with a banana & natty PB) or if fat gain becomes an issue, Ill lower my carbs starting with the shakes by making them protein & EVOO & natty PB
MEAL 3: ½ pound (8oz) of chicken (or turkey or filet of sole or shrimp) with ½ cup nuts (almonds, cashews, or walnuts) with 1 cup RICE
MEAL 4: Shake
MEAL 5: ½ pound (8oz) of red meat (or salmon or swordfish) with a salad with 2 tablespoon of olive or macadamia nut oil and vinegar with 1 sweet potato
MEAL 6: Same as MEAL 3
MEAL 7: Shake
MEAL 8: 6 whole omega-3 eggs
I figured it out to around 6,000 calories I believe. Pre-Workout I use 10g BCAAS, 30g during and post workout I use a serving or Surge which I might bump up to 2. I also take 200mg of caffeine pre-workout and Im hoping that the extra test will help blunt cortisol production from this
.My training split is Chest/Back/Abs/Calves, Legs, Shoulders/Traps/Arms/Abs/Calves (this day normally gets split into 2 parts), off, off.
Finally, proposed cycle (I do fully understand the merits and reasons behind a test only cycle, but Im also a big believer in go big or go home…)
Injections Sunday Morning and Wednesday Night
Week 1-12 Test E 600 mg/wk
Week 1-10 Deca 300 mg/wk
Week 3-8 Naposim 40 mg/day
Week 13-16 Test E 100 mg/wk
Week 14-16 Clomid 100 mg/day
Week 17-18 Clomid 50 mg/day
Arimidex already on hand, will introduce at .25 mg/eod if needed during cycle, and then assess from there.
So why my kind of weird PCT? Well I like the test taper idea, and what stuck out from me was this statement "the research showed no hpta suppression while using a serm and low dose testosterone - 100mg per week ".
In my mind, if you can keep test levels at a reasonable level to keep them from crashing, while not suppressing the HPTA, and using the clomid to promote the body to start producing LH, everyone wins? Maybe Im wrong in my thinking, if so, someone please correct me. And finally some pics…
