Well, I have decided to run my first log. I haven't been here or AM for long but I have met some cool people and learned some great things.
I know this is early to start the log but I have a busy weekend so what the heck. My training will begin Monday and the cycle will begin Tuesday. I am getting some pre cycle blook work done on Tuesday morning.
Brief Training Background: I have been a basketball player my whole life so I stayed super lean w/o much other effort. I didn’t start weight training until I was 19-20. And like everyone else, I made really fast newbie gains. But as time went on, and I got older, my newbie gains disappeared and my progress stopped. My diet was garbage and my training then slacked off. Long story short, between that and graduating college, I just didn’t have the time or dedication to make the progress I needed. Sooo, on Jan 1st, I rededicated everything from my training to especially my diet. I went for a few month just researching and researching and more research. And in March I started a progressive cut (also did a cycle of The One) where as of today I have dropped 15-20 lbs of mostly BF. I was 190-194 in March and now I am 175. I did lose a little size but I feel like I executed my cut well enough to where mostly BF was lost. I am stronger now than I was @ 190 so I can’t complain. Well, being over 6’0, 175 is too light. I now need to put on mass. And now with my diet and training knowledge, I feel like I am fully prepared to do that.
Cycle Dosing: Epidrol by HF and P-Plex by CEL. I will be doing a bridge here. I know this is considered a stronger cycle but I am fully prepared and knowledgeable enough to run it. I have a good ear to my body so if I feel something doesn’t feel right or I feel shutdown for too long, I will adjust appropriately.
Epi: 30/40/40/50/0/0
P-Plex:0/0/20/20 maybe 30/30/30
Other Supps:
Multi by AN
Omega Essentials by AN
NOW Vitamin C + NOW Vitamin B
Sesamin
Cycle Assist by CEL ( I may not run this since I have preloaded for 2/3 weeks.)
Black Hole by CL
BC+EAA by LG Sciences
NEOVAR By AN
ALCAR
RPM by AN (if needed)
Hemodraulix (I only have a few left but I won’t be re stocking this. But you can bet I will be running this in PCT. Killer pumps!
Tons of other stuff I am forgetting but the above is the bulk of it.
PCT:
As crazy as this sounds, I’m still up in there air here. Let me explain, I have plenty Nolva, 2 bottles of T-911, Formasol, Sustain Alpha, etc. I have all that I need for PCT, but I haven’t decided my dosing yet as well as what I will be using. At the moment, I am leaning towards this:
Nolva @ 20/20/10/10 + Sustain Alpha + Toco 8 + IGF-1, +Drive. I don’t really like the idea of an AI post cycle for this. Both Epi and P-Plex will not aromatize so why drop estrogen as soon as PCT starts? The main issue with this cycle will probably be delayed gyno so I don’t want to suppress E too low for too long. BUT, like I said, I have plenty Nolva, AI’s, and other things that I would need. So I am fully prepared for any surprises.
Diet:
Having dropped the BF I did on my CKD diet, I have a newfound respect for keeping carbs to a minimum. I should never have more than 250 a day. And even less on training days. I do NOT slack on my diets so this is one thing I can guarantee will not suffer.
Pre W/O
3 whole eggs w/ 3 egg whites
1 Piece Ezekiel Bread
1 Cup Oatmeal w/ Skim Milk
Bannana
Intra W/O
ALCAR + BCAA
Post W/O
Whey shake w/ Milk and 60g WMS
10:30 Meal #3
Whey w/ Skim Milk
Lunch Meal #4
6-8 oz Chicken breast w/ ½ cup brown rice
3:00 Meal #5
Either WW wrap and chicken salad or same as meal 4.
Dinner Meal # 6
8oz red meat or fish w/ green veggies. Probably asparagus.
Before Bed Meal #7
Myofusion w/ water
Rough macro count: Protein =300 CHO=233 only on W/O days Fat=78
As I said, the pre and post workout meal will only be on Mon,Wed, and Fri. All the other days my CHO intake will be lower.
Training:
This is what I am most excited about. I will be starting DC training on Monday. I have always been intense with my workouts so this is why DC intrigued me. My split will look like this. (Metroba, can you take a look at this and let me know what you think?)
Workout A:
Chest, Shoulders, Tri’s, Back Width, Back Thickness
Workout B:
Bi’s, Forearms, Calves, Hams, Quads.
Exercises:
Chest: Incline Smith Press/BB Bench Press, BB Slight Incline w/ wide grip press ( I got this from DC) Figured I’d give it a try?
Shoulders: Machine Military Press, Front EZ Bar Raises, Smith Press (in front of head)
Tri’s: Machine Pulldown, Reverse Grip Smith Press, EZ Bar Skull Crushers
Back Width: Lat Pulldown, Rack Chins, Straight Arm Pushdown on Machine
Back Thickness: Deads, BB Rows, and either rack deads or DB rows.
BI’s: EZ Bar Curls, Incline DB Curls, Cable Curls.
Forearm's: Hammer Curls, Reverse Grip EZ Bar Curls, Rev Grip DB Preacher Curls.
Calves: Standing calf raise, Sitting Calf raise, close toe standing calf raise
Hams: Seated Leg Curls, Standing Leg Curls, Lying Leg Curls or ??
Quads: Smith Squats, BB Hack Squats (Yes IC, As goofy as I looked trying these for the first time with you, I will try them again) Powertech Machine Squats (feet close together)
If you know how DC works, then that’s how my routine will look. If you don’t, then oh well because I don’t know how to properly explain lol.
Goals and Other: I would consider this cycle a success if I can put on a good 15 lbs of LBM and minimal fat. I don’t believe in a “dirty bulk” so this will be as clean as possible. If I start putting on fat, I will adjust. If I gain 10 lbs in the first half of the cycle, I will raise my fats, not my carbs. To be completely honest, I hope this is my last DS/PH cycle. I would much rather go with an injectable test cycle but at the moment, my GF will not have that. I hope this will change as she does more research.
I am having pre cycle blood work done on Tuesday morning and pending anything weird, I will begin the EPI on that day as well. I will also be monitoring my blood sugar levels and BP on Monday of every week.
Well, I think that’s it. Any suggestions or comments, speak up. Like I said, it's my first log so if there is something you can suggest, let me know.
Oh yea, I guess I will be posting a pre cycle pic as well. :damnit:
I have no clue why my pants were so low, lol (no homo). Just ate dinner, no pump, and no carb load.
