first a little history. my sophmore year of high school i weighed 231 lbs at well over 20% bf. i was bulky and very strong for my age however i had no definition. shortly after that I decided i was sick of being a fat kid, joined this forum, and got into dieting and working out pretty hardcore . by my senior year of high school i was down to about 184 and about 10 % bodyfat while running decathlons in track. now im currently 20 and still competing in track however due to 4 knee surgeries i am restricted to throwing hammer and discus. I will be doing a bb comp in about a year. at the start of cycle i was at about 214 and 12% bf. im currently 26 days into:
1-12 Test E 300 mg e3d
3-12 Tren A 50 mg ed
insulin 8 iu post workout 2 weeks on 2 off etc. then again during pct.
PCT:
1-6 a-dex .5 mg ed
1-6 20-25 mg nolva ed
1-3 100 mg clomid ed
hcg 500 iu ed the last week of cycle and for about 10 days after
1-6 otc tribulus and dhea
i know this is a little harsher than most would reccomend for a first cycle however ive had not a single negative side effect. ive had experience with insulin over the past couple years which i know is also not reccomended at my experience level, but Ive learned exactly how my body responds to it and my good friend who is a type 1 diabetic gave me some pure gluclose shots in case of hypo, which has never happened. my goals are to be at least 230 lbs after pct with about same bodyfat or slightly less.
diet is spot on. cosuming about 400 grams protein, 400 grams of carbs, and 100-120 grams of fat spread over 7-8 meals. protein comes from beef, chicken, tuna, egg whites, shakes, and milk. Carbs consist of oats, sweet potatoes, white rice, brown rice, fruit, and usually some sort of simple sugar post workout. fats are mostly in the form of nuts, olive oil, flax oil, and some saturated fats from meats and egg yolks. protein is consistant throughout the day while carbs and fats usually have an inverse relationship within each meal. non workout days carbs are usually about 200-250 g. after maintaining a very strict diet for this long I know how my body responds to different types and amounts of nutrients. also taking multivitamin, 3 grams of vitamin c, b complex, glucosomine chondroiton, msm, and fish oil capsules daily.
training: doing CT's ovt training method as listed in one of the stickies in the workout forum with a little modification to fit my split. will be doing HIT during PCT.
mon-hamstrings and back thickness
tues-Chest and triceps
Wed-off or abs and calves depending on schedule
Thurs- Abs, back width, and biceps
Friday- quads, delts, and calves
Lifts before cycle:
Bench- 315x4
DL- 495x2
i dont do very heavy squats as they tend to bother my knees.
Week 1: frontloaded 1 gram of test. nothing but a few lbs of water weight by the end of the week. first shots were easy but a little sore for a few days after.
Week 2: Lifts up slightly by the end of the week. possibly placebo effect. about 223 lbs.
Week 3: first week of tren ace. ed shots dont bother me as i rotate injection sites constantly. on days i have to shoot test and tren i usually shoot into my glutes, and tren only days is rotate quads and pecs. dont like shootin delts because the soreness is kinda annoying when im trying to do stuff in daily life. strength up a little more by the end of the week. no bad sides from the tren.
Week 4: strength is up significantly. flat benched 335x4 with good form and a little assistance on number 5. also did 275x5 on incline which was also a new best and suprising since i had already done flat bench. Incline dumbell rows were up to 120 lb dbs for 5 good reps. all other lifts are up a good amount. the only side is im sweating a little more than normal from the tren, however, i tend to sweat my ass off 24/7 naturally so its no big deal. no insomnia or joint pain.
I will try to post my progress at least every few days.
