whats your age and bf%, also, describe your training, does it involve weight lifting as well as MMA training or what?

[slic2121]

im 27, my BF % is around 13% (actually not quite sure)

yes i weight train/circut train in the morning and train MMA/Brazillian jiu jitsu at night..

[Phate]

do you get tested before fights or randomly?

how long before your next fight?

[slic2121]

nope no tests....i may fight june28th...but that card looks weak, so i may not be fighting for a few months..BTW i also compete in grappling tournaments regularly..like every 3 months where cardio and stamina are essential..i was told EQ is good for that, but much like everything ive hears it has turned out to be BS..

make sure you have time because a good cycle is 12 weeks plus 4 weeks of pct

here is a thread i wrote that outlines everything you need to know about a test only first cycle, and yes test only is the best first cycle in my, and almost everyone's opinion

the most important part of this is diet so post your diet and we'll help you with it, and READ ALL THE LINKS IN THE POST, some like the slingshot method are like 20 pages so you don't have to read through all of it, but all the stuff on AS read 2-3x to make sure you know it, anyway, here ya go

Test Beginner cycle info

here, i'll lay out some stuff for you,
first thing, you need to get your diet in check, here is some threads on cutting, lean bulking and pure bulking to give you some info, but you need to post your diet for critiqueing, your wasting your money otherwise

only when you have your diet down should you think about cycling, a beginner cycle should look like this

1-12 test e 500mg/week
1-4 dbol 40mg/day ( this is used to kickstart the cycle and is optional)

take your test injections 3.5 days apart, like monday morning and thursday evening

split your dbol up throughout the day, this will keep your blood levels stable, which means less sides and more gains

if you take the dbol, supplement with liv52 to help you liver cope with breaking down the dbol

btw, here are the profiles on the AS you will be using so read them and get to know the stuff your putting in your body

Next is your pct, which should begin two weeks after your last test injection and should be a phneedo's pct, whats that you ask? here it is

Now for some other important stuff, you need to have some arimidex on hand in case you start getting water retention or gyno, so get some, in fact, read this thread 3x before you start your cycle as it will tell you....

a couple threads in there outline pct and you can get all the chems from ARR, the flashing red banner at the top of the screen that saids anti-estrogens, vials, etcs

that diet needs some major work, wayyyy too many protein shakes and the nutrient timing is off

here are two diets that i cut with, keep the protein about the same, though you can add a shake in if you want, up the carbs on cycle to about 400(good carbs, sweet potatoes, lentils, oatmeal etcs go to diet section and there is a thread on this called LIST OF GOOD CARBS) and keep the fats around the same

DIET HELP

here is the diet that i'm on right now, it's a good base to go off of, listed below are things to help you create your own diet off it

1) One thing that will help you drastically is called carb tapering, if you notice the bulk of my carbs are in the morning and after my workout, i don't eat hardly any close to when i go to sleep

2) Another thing is that eat meal is either protein/carb or protein/fat and the fats are good fats(EFA=Essential fatty acids) from flax oil or fish oil. Try not to eat fat with carbs as the fat will become, well, fat since your body is made to be energy efficient, by putting carbs, which are easier to break down for energy, in the same meal as fats your body stores the fat for later and uses the carbs for energy, not what you want.

3) try to eat every 2-3 hours, this is the amount of time it takes for your body to digest a meal and by giving it a constant stream of food you will ensure that your metabolism is kept high, also, calories are not the same, protein has the highest thermodynamic effect, which means that it takes more calories to digest protein than carbs or fat, this also increases your metabolism

4) You should try to get at least 50-60g of protein in every meal, this is about the max your body can take at one time

5) here are some tricks for making eating so often easier, i know it's hard, i go to school 8 hours a day and i'm not allowed to bring food into class so i have to work around that
a) Make a weeks worth of food on your day off, go buy a ton of chicken, lean turkey and very lean beef and grill it, then put it in ziplock bags and label with the amount of calories and protein per bag, YOU WILL NEED TO BUY A CHEAP SCALE FOR THIS, YOU CAN GET THEM AT GNC, MAKE SURE YOU GET ONE THAT WEIGHS IN GRAMS.
b) save grocery sacks or get a lunch box and put a full three meals or so in there, lots of chicken, jerky, tuna, those are gonna be the staples of your diet

6) Don't drink more than two protein shakes a day, there are liquid and don't have the thermic effect normal food does, normal food should make up 95% of your diet, though a shake after workout or in a pinch is perfectly fine

that should get you started, i'm sure you'll still have questions so just keep posting and i'll help you however i can, i'll be in austin though for the next couple days for a state competition, though i'll try to get on at the hotel if you post and answer when i can, here's the diet i'm on to model after
