I've had a few people hitting me up about my protocol. Here is what I'm currently doing, recently have done, and planning to do for my protocol in the future.
First of all my stats ...
43
5'-11"
194lb (as of 7/18/10)
BF? Had been 12.7%, but weighed 187 at the time. Will have a trainer I know measure me again when I see her, hopefully this weekend.
Currently:
Test Cyp - 220mg x 1/wk Back down to 150mg/wk as of 7/16) Deca cycle ended the week before
HCG - 300iu x 2/wk
Anastrozole - 0.5mg x 2/wk
B-12 Cyanocobalamin - 1000mcg x 1/wk (taken w/Test & Deca) *Will be switching this up to methylcobalamin shortly.
UDCA - 2 tabs per week for liver protection (more so for the Anavar noted below).
DHEA 5% - Added 1/2 ML Daily as of 7/17/10
Pregnenolone 200mg/ml - Added 1/2 ml daily as of 7/17/10
Nandrolone Deca - 240mg/wk
*Note - The Deca is not considered part of my TRT program. I don't want to mislead anyone to think that this is common play to take deca and call it TRT, it's not. This is being cycled for 12 weeks, and I'm on my last few weeks of it. My main purpose with taking it was for joint relief (which it does work pretty good). What I don't like about it is some of the water retention I've noticed while taking it.
Anavar - 50mg/day ... I just finished up a 50 day cycle last week. This was the first time I've ever taken this product. My attraction was taking it was to add some mild anabolic enhancement to help me get some leaner, harder mass. I held off for almost a year because I wanted to get myself in better shape and get my diet nailed down better so that I could get the best results. Yes, I did see some cool things coming together the last couple weeks. Wife liked the vascularity ... Got to say, I did too!
I've read where a lot of guys think Anavar is some sort of fat burner ... It's not. I gained weight while on it (although that was kind of my plan). All I can say is if you feel you need to get your diet and workout program refined quite a bit, then take the time first to do that first before adding something like Anavar. It's pricey stuff and it will do so much more if you have the other things covered before hand.
Future:
-Will probably back down to 150mg of cyp once I'm finished up with the deca.
-Will consider deca again, if so probably in October.
-Want to look at Anavar again, but my goal now is to find away to get closer to 10% BF before doing it again. GIVES ME INCENTIVE!!!
-Also, I will probably consider liquid Anavar if/when I do it again. I'm not a big fan of everyday shots, but will tolerate it for 6 or 7 weeks. Also would probably ramp it up to 80mg!
- Will be running a extensive hormone panel real soon, which might prompt me to add some DHEA and even a little progesterone (low last year) to my protocol.
-Lastly, like the thought of HGH, but hate thinking that I'm stuck doing shots every day, every week. Like mentioned with Anavar, I can tolerate it for awhile but not sure if I could do it for the long haul. I don't like the price, but that's not deal breaker for me, it's the frequency of shots. If it could be done once or twice a week I'd already be doing it. However, I still find myself giving it consideration. The other problem is that I travel quite a bit for a living.
To conclude, I'm a big fan about doing lab work when you're on TRT (as many of you know). I run my quarterly, no exceptions. I believe diet is as critical as working out when on TRT. TRT is like a 2nd chance on life again ... It has given me the chance to have the same hormone levels as I did when I was a teenager or early 20's. I didn't do the things I should have done then when it was all there at my finger tips. I fully plan to continue taking advantage of this gift that I am receiving, which could never have happened in previous generations.
Any questions, comments, & critiques are welcomed.
