The Stats:
24 years old
6'3"
262 lbs (somewhere between 15 and 20% bf)
My size 36 waist pants are getting quite snug, which means it is cutting time.
Bench: 335
Dead: 505
Squat: 455
Additional background:
4 years lifting, lately have made good gains with DC and a modified westside template. 1 previous cycle on epistane 20/30/30/40, 1 year ago. Weight from 226->252 (dirty bulk, coming off a cut)
I ran a formestane TD bridge and had some minor gyno issues, ran a standalone cycle of nolva to clear it up (successful). I had 2 injuries this past year, a sports hernia and a strained ab that cost me 2 months of training. I've been smashing it in the gym the past 2 months with some of my best natural gains, but I've finally started to plateau. TIME FOR A CYCLE. My supp cabinet has been so underutilized lately.
The Goal:
Make these size 36 pants loose. It's a cut, but nothing too extreme. I don't function well trying to lose more than 2 lbs a week. Just gonna clean up my diet and add in cardio and walks, which I don't really do now. Activity and food of note will be logged here.
The Cycle:
CEL HD-50 - Halodrol. The base. Main driver of body recomp effects for the cycle. Converts to Turinabol at about 5% of dose. Ramping up to 75/75/75/75/75
Grapefruit Juice - Inhibits CYP450 - should keep the active form around longer and let more of the Halodrol be converted to
P-liver, CEL Cycle Assist - To control liver function and blood pressure, in the case of Cycle Assist
Forskolin - cAMP stimulator, have some on hand. Helps liberate fat. Will try to run in 2 week cycles, have heard resistance occurs. Week 1 and 2, then maybe again 5-6.
Carnitine - Increases androgen receptor density (probably not needed towards the end of cycles) ~1g doses a few times a day
EGCG (Green Tea Extract) - Increases metabolism, appears to bias towards fat loss. 1.5g/day
Raspberry Ketones - Non-Stimulant Thermogenic...Maybe. Will be thrown into shakes occasionally: 200-400mg when I remember
Resveratrol - I'm dumping a pill of Resveratrol in a bottle of water. I'm going to try to do a minor hit of buccal resveratrol throughout the cycle to keep my HPTA high.
Yellow Gold - Glut4 translocator increased carb uptake into muscle. Dosed ~1g around major carb meals and cheat days.
Taurine: In case of back pumps (increased blood volume straining kidneys physically).
Staples:
Vitamin D - 2000IU
Fish Oil - 5-10 caps/day
Multivitamin - occasionally to stave off deficiency
Zinc picolinate - 1 pill/day at night
Only minor use of creatine for this cycle. ~3g postworkouts
I have various protein supps.
The Training:
Walks on my lunch break at work for low impact cardio
3 lifting days - full template to be laid out later. Inspired by EDT by Charles Staley. 5/3/1 for heavy lifts -> http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=112382761
2 HIIT days - elliptical, maybe some p90x vids if I feel like it.
Weekends "off"
The PCT:
Nolva (I didn't like Torem) 40/20/10/10
Lean Extreme Dosed as per bottle starting after 2 weeks
PCT Assist dosed as per bottle
Fenugreek on hand for libido
Taurine to combat nolvadex hepatotoxicity
