stpete's Test900mg/Halo possibly adding Tren later Cycle....

**stpete** · 08-25-2012, 05:14 PM

Haven't posted a log in a few years and i think it's time to do it again. This is going to be a strict bulking cycle.

GOAL: It's basic. Try to get bigger and stronger than i've ever been. Gonna be tough as i was at my best between 28-32.

Cycle: 900mgs test EW for 16 weeks. Adding 30 mgs Halo mid Sept. for 4 Weeks.
Adex @ .25 eod from start to PCT
HCG - 250 iu's E3D from start to PCT
PCT:
Clomid-100/100/50/50/25
Nolva-40/40/40/20/20

Height: 6'
Weight: 246 as of this morning

Measurements: Chest-53...Neck-19 1/2...Waist-40...Arms-17 1/2...Forearms-14...Thighs(my weekest part)-28....Calves-18 1/2

DIET-It's not the best diet but at 43 years old w/5 kids and money always being an issue, it's ok.

Meal 1) 4 eggs, 1 cup oats or potatoes, 2 slices wheat bread, 2 cups skim milk.

Meal 2) Protein Bar(met-rx big 100) 1 cup OJ.

Meal 3) Salad w/ either 2 cans tuna, chicken breast or steak, whole wheat pasta salad.

Meal 4) Pre Workout-Protein Bar w/ either cranberry or grapefruit juice, 5gms Creatine.

Meal 5) Post Workout @ Gym-Protein/Carb drink. Dinner about 45-60 minutes later.

Meal 6) Dinner- This is where things get goofy. With 5 kids it's expensive enough so i kinda go along w/whatever my wife makes so all of us can sit at the table and eat together. She does her best in making chicken, cheap steaks, lasagna, pork chops etc. but we have to please the kids too and sometimes it's chili cheese dogs, Little Caesar's $5.00 pizzas(which is ok except it's late in the evening) and i often take part in desserts that consist of ice cream, cakes, cookies etc. The kids make me, i swear.

Meal 7) Either cottage cheese or 1 tablespoon of peanut butter w/ milk.

My Workouts-I'm not going to mention weight or in what order i do these exercises. I'm just going to mention the exercises for the bodyparts. Later in my log i will tell what i did that day. Cause a lot of times i don't know exactly what machines/lifts i'm going to do. It depends on what i did last time i worked that body part.

3 Day on 1 Day off

Day 1) Chest, Tri's, Ab's

Day 2) Legs, Calves, Delts

Day 3) Back, Bi's, Traps

I'm going to wait to post the exercises till the day of.

Now i'm going to try to post some pics. don't fu**in laugh at the size or how hairy my legs are! hahaha...They truly are my smallest body part.

Good luck mate
biggest i've ever been is about 250. After that, my back really starts to hurt from the weight. but you are basically there, pre cycle.

I just noticed your routine, and I too have been considering a 3 on one off schedule. It's a quick way to supercharge some gains, without hitting all the ancilliary minor muscles. is this something you normally do or is this new for your cycle?

**Bigd89** · 08-25-2012, 05:46 PM

Good luck bro. I'll be following. And I love me some Tren !

**austinite** · 08-25-2012, 06:44 PM

Sub'd! Really looking forward to following this one stpete. Like TR said as well, I might squeeze my 4 days on into 3 as well.

Come on September! I wanna see that Halo working.

Best of luck!!

Thanks TR. Usually it's a 2 on 1 off and a different routine, but i changed up just for the reason you mentioned. My workouts prior to the cycle have been good, but really just maintenance so i went i'm kind of rested. Thought this would be a good change. I like it and i'm having fun.

Thanks Bigd89. and i know you do! hahaha...

Thank you! And yeah, those protein bars will probably be a thing of the past before long. The halo is for a little lifting comp on Oct. 6th. It will definetely help. And the tren, well, we all know about that. And i'm just thinking about it cause i have several carts in my closet.

**stpete** · 08-26-2012, 05:26 PM

Yeah, i've used it before but it was some years ago. Can't wait!!

**marcus300** · 08-26-2012, 05:32 PM

**stpete** · 08-27-2012, 01:56 PM

I was planning on throwing some up mid-way thru as well.

**OnTheSauce** · 08-27-2012, 06:53 PM

What halo dose are u going to run? I was doing 45mg a day split in 2 doses

**stpete** · 08-27-2012, 07:44 PM

2 doses as well. Between 30-40. Probably closer to 40. I 'll make a determination as to where i'm at mid Sept. I ran 30 before and was satisfied. How long did you run 45? Negative sides at that dose?

**Sgt. Hartman** · 08-27-2012, 08:39 PM

I'll be following as well....good luck man.

**stpete** · 08-27-2012, 08:49 PM

No worries man tbh I was going to do a first cycle in jan/feb after my cut which I'm still on but I've recently found out I'll b on cycle permanant trt so I figured look around to get insights and then when I'm settled do a blast so watching the pros will educate me so thanx and good luck in achieving your goals

**stpete** · 08-28-2012, 08:20 AM

Thanks. And if you think i can help all you have to do is ask!

**stpete** · 08-28-2012, 05:39 PM

Day 14....Start of another 3:1

Chest/Tri's...did my usual stretching and rotator exercises prior.

Hammer Strength Incline
90x20
180x15
270x12
320x8
320x6

Flat Bench DB
75x15
100x12
120x10
140x5

Rope Pushdowns
80x15
100x12
130x10
130x8

Flat Bench DB Flies
50x15
75x12
85x8
85x5

V-Bar Pushdowns
120x15
160x12
180x12
200x8

Could have done 360 on the incline a few times but i want to do some reps on all exercises for now. I'll do some skull crushers and close grip bench for tri's next time. Not sure about chest yet. Maybe heavy Smith Machine Incline and some other stuff. Probably game time decision. Felt like it was time to go at the gym but now i wish i would have thrown in some BB Decline. Next time.

Feel good w/good pumps. Injection and Legs/Delts tomorrow.
