My First Cycle... Let The Trolling Begin
Hey guys.
I've spent a significant amount of time on this website reading through different discussions regarding multiple topics around AAS.
I am at the point in my life where I have personally decided I am prepared to try my first cycle. Hence why I created this account, and am now making this post.
I suppose I should start with some statistics.
Age: 25
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 216 LBS
BF %: ~14%
Nutrition:
Due to a desire for simplicity and regiment, I eat the same thing every day.
4500 calories | 50% Carbs | 30% Protein | 20% Fats
1st Meal:
1x Scoop Optimum Nutrition Mass Gainer
1x Scoop Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein
16oz Water
2nd Meal:
6x Eggs
3x Pieces of Whole Wheat Toast
3rd Meal:
1x Scoop Optimum Nutrition Mass Gainer
1x Scoop Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein
16oz Water
4th Meal:
10oz Baked Chicken w/ Fresh Pesto
9oz Whole Grain Brown Rice
5th Meal:
1x Scoop Optimum Nutrition Mass Gainer
1x Scoop Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein
16oz Water
6th Meal:
10oz Baked Chicken w/ Fresh Pesto
9oz Whole Grain Brown Rice
From my understanding, 4500 calories put me in a ~1,000 daily caloric surplus.
This has worked well for me gaining mass naturally. Do I need to increase my caloric intake while on cycle? If so, by how much? I understand that it will constantly change as I gain weight.
I started working out consistently towards the beginning of 2012, about a year before I enlisted in the military.
I was in a special operations MOS so our workout routine was intense and consistent. Initially I had to train to be an endurance athlete in order to succeed throughout the rigorous 2 year selection process. Shortly thereafter, around 2014, I was able to adjust my workout routine to be based around bodybuilding with an emphasis on heavy compound lifts. I maintained this style of lifting until the present time, only making adjustments in order to push through plateaus or situations of the sort.
I have had plenty of quality courses of instruction regarding health and fitness, proper exercise, and nutrition and consider myself to be quite knowledgeable on the process of reaching any health and fitness goal. That being said, I am always eager to learn more, and welcome and constructive criticism that you may have to offer.
I hope that was enough of a background to give you an idea where I am at in my fitness journey. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask in the comments and I will do my best to respond ASAP.
On to the proposed cycle...
After doing quite a fair amount of sifting through forums, I have decided to go with the Test/Deca/Dbol cycle.
CYCLE:
Weeks 1-6: Dbol(Methan 10) 40mg(4 pills) / day 1 hr before workout
Weeks 1-10: 500mg Test E / week (2x 250mg per week)
Weeks 1-10: 250mg Deca / week (2x 125mg per week)
Weeks 1-10: Aromasin 12.5mg(half a pill) / EOD
Weeks 12-16: Clomid 100/100/50/50 or 100mg per day for 4 weeks
Weeks 12-16: Aromasin 25/25/25/25/12.5/12.5 (read an article that said 25mg daily for no longer than 2 weeks though? Run Clomid for 4 total weeks)
I would like to know people's opinion on this for my first bulking cycle.
As I stated before, I am eager to learn. Please feel free to share any advice or wisdom which you may find applicable.
Thank you!
