hello all, snags back again with a different twist than you all have seen from me before, as I push an ultra-structured, clean caloric surplus combined with some intelligent power-hypertrophy split training, and a simple yet effective hormonal cycle leading into PCT, for some nasty big gains as I take this physique to world-class new heights
follow along as I drop some insights - maybe you can find something here that will help your own endeavors in gaining quality lean muscle...I will lay out dietary maneuvering, throw out some food pics (of course), and keep you all up-to-date at least weekly with new pics of the physique progress
BASIC OVERVIEW OF STRUCTURE
diet: the first 4 weeks of structure will be a steady increase of cals, starting ~3500 at the very beginning (which was this past Monday in actuality) as I come out of a cut/contest prep for a nationals show I competed in last w/e; finishing up the first week ~4k cals, advancing to 4500 in 2nd week, and hitting 5k in third & 4th weeks...depending on how things are looking composition-wise (ie the goal is to remain lean during this bulk), I may go to 5500 in the 4th week before hitting 6k as I enter PCT, leveling off there..fats will be kept intentionally low, ranging from 65-75g as we increase the cal load
for example, my last training day before rest day yesterday was 3650cals, macros of 430/315/65.5 - carbs are all basically clean and dry, with strategically placed sugar and simple carb loads, complex everywhere else...off days will see a slight dip in both cals and carbs, ie yesterday was 3530cals, 345/375/70 -- carbs will eventually hit 800-850 daily range if not more
training: protocol will be a 3-day double-split routine
#1 - chest/back/abs
#2 - legs
#3 - shoulders/arms/abs
#4 - off
repeat
the first three days are a power scheme, lower reps (6-10 rep range/longer rest periods); the next three days are different exercises in a hypertrophy scheme (8-12 and sometimes 15 reps/shorter rest periods)..fasted cardio upon rising will be done 3x weekly (30min LISS)
supplementation: for the hormonal cycle, I will be running a simple combination of hi-dose trenavar clone and a 6-a chloro dry, non-methylated compound (hexadrone), along with a combination of 1-Alpha + 1-Andro -- the idea is a liver-stress-free cycle providing dry lean gains; the tren is a continuation of what I ran during last stages of contest prep, only now I get to use in a smart bulk instead of a hard cut .. TUDCA is in play while on cycle of course, as is Rev PCT if I need it; exemestane will also be utilized at 25mg daily
PCT will consist of clomid/tamox and exemestane, with Rev PCT Black and PureTest (FINAFLEX) .. this will be run for 4-5 weeks except for the exem (which will be phased out after 2-3 weeks), and the Pure Test extended beyond that for an addtl 2 weeks as I go into down time from all hormonals...sarms will also be in play thruout PCT, and perhaps a bit longer as well
other supps will be very basic, but include our Active Multi, BCAA+SAA, Crea-Trona, Max Pump, and G8
and with that, welcome aboard, and look forward to growing with you
