This is only my second cycle. You guys are going to think that I'm f'n crazy, so don't flame me. I am getting results. I do this under the supervision of a sports medicine doctor and dietitian, the results are fantastic. Although an entirely different approach to what is discussed on the board.

The first cycle I did was only 200 mg per week for ten weeks. Followed by 2 weeks off and 1000 i.u. HCG and one more week off. I got 10 pounds and lost nothing post cycle. Lost 4% bf.

This cycle is 300 mg test cyp and 200 mg Deca for 10 weeks and 10mg of Nolvadex per day (just to make absolutely sure there is no water and everything I get is lean mass).

The part that you may not agree with is the Zone Diet. I'm gaining weight and losing fat. I was 26% BF and now am 22%. I had 12" pencils and now have 16" biceps.

I eat enough protein to feed the muscles and no more carbs than I need to maintain energy and prevent catabolic and ketosis related problems. And only good fat from nuts and dairy and alike.

My thought is that it's not the calories but the content. I think that the FDA used to make assumptions about the content based on the calories. It's much more granular than that in my opinion. What's the difference if you eat 2 slices of bread or a glass of cranberry juice; you get carbs both ways (that's just an example, lets not debate simple vs. complex carbs here). Is a quart of alcohol enough to get a buzz, depends if its beer or whiskey; content right, see where I'm going with this. So low carb, calorie restriction is for me. How many calories are in a round steak vs. whey protein?

I have no doubt that I will get at least 15 pounds and lose more bf this cycle.

I'm going to do a 4 week off cycle after this with HCG and get right back on. I plan to do 400mg and 400mg next cycle.

After that, I'm going back down to 300 mg. and 200 mg for the rest of my life using the same 10 on 4 off testosterone replacement therapy.

Sort of a natural approach, only supplementing my hormones to optimal levels, not super natural levels (although I’m exceeding a little now and certainly will be on my next cycle, but that's only because I love what you guys are doing and want to be bigger). I would consider some dianbol for the next cycle if I could figure out how to get; certainly wouldn’t tell me doc about it. (PM me if you have some pointers here).

I think what most of you are doing is great. Mine is just another approach. Because of my social and professional circle, I can't just show up for work one day at 215 pounds and ripped without creating a scandal.

I started the therapy because of depression, fatigue and low energy. I felt so great that I decided to set my goals much higher.

Steroids are not addicting. Participating in life with a healthy body and positive attitude is!
