This will be "The One" you remember

[gibsonj4]

Will this truly be "The One?"

So, I picked up "The One" and "2nd Gear" at a local supplement store and will begin a cycle on Sunday. Onto the important information:

Basic Statistics:
Age: 22
Height: 5'9"
Weight: Will weigh on Saturday morning and update this.
Years Training: 4
Training type: More emphasis on volume training. Training will look like this:
-Sunday: Chest/Triceps/Calves
-Monday: Back/Biceps
-Wednesday off
-Thursday: Shoulders/Traps/Lats
-Friday: Legs (Quads/hams)

Measurements:
-Chest 41in.
-Biceps 15.75in
-Thighs 23.5in.
-Calves 15.75 in

Goals on cycle: I would like to put on 10lbs of lean mass. Goals are realistic as far as strength as I would like to see myself be able to get back into a rep scheme of 15 of 225lb Flat Bench and a max dead lift of 405+.

Dosing: 2 weeks @ 3 caps in the morning may move up to 4 caps for last 3 weeks. This will be a five week cycle.

Diet: I will continue to eat as i am now since I am trying to bulk anyways. The One has been said to be a great nutrition partioner as well. My daily goals will be around 3500-4000 calories a day: 325-400g carbs, 250-300g Protein, 100-125g fat. Staples will be whole eggs, oatmeal for carbs, red meat, tuna, and fruit.

On-Cycle Supplements
The One
Milk Thistle
Antioxidant formula (GNC Superfoods)
Multivitamin
5g/ Fish oil
Superpump250

Post cycle
2nd Gear
Drive
IGF-2
Multi-Vitamin
5g/fish oil

I may just buy some Cycle Support since I have about 2 weeks worth left over from last year's tren cycle.

Things I will update daily (or try my best to!)
-Caloric and Macronutrient Intake
-Training Statistics
-Overall side effects/feelings

Things I will update weekly:
-Weight: I hate going to the scale daily and I don't wanna be fixated on a number (weight) but strength, feeling, and how I look from being on cycle.
-Blood Pressure
-Overall side effects/feelings

I hope this will be a quality log that people can follow regularly and get something out of for future cycles. I will also try to get a picture up soon for before cycle and the obviously I will take one after cycle. Thanks! :afro:

Before Shots:

 

[Silver3CSRT8]

Subbing... FYI, you might want to no get Cycle Support. The Saw Palmetto competes with the same receptors as The One and could limit the gains.

 

[gibsonj4]

Ah yes. Thanks for reminding me.

Girl and I went to the the proposal. Pretty good actually thought it was gonna be lame but it was alright.

Didn't eat AS much as I usually do. Tomorrow will prolly be more of the same since I have inventory at 630am till 3pm then may have to work till 8. We'll see. So far, no lethargy or problems but it is day 1. Thanks for following.

 

[vector18]

I was told that THE ONE works on an empty stomach and a full stomach. I see that you used THE ONE and fish oil almost as a meal because from 10-1pm you didn't have any whole foods. Also, instead of mayo, use lemon or olive oil or both. And IMO, your meal plan should more be

8:00 THE ONE, oats,banana,eggs

10:00 snack,protein

12:00 chicken, vegs, ww pasta

2:00 snack,protein

4:00 meat,vegs, ww pasta

6:00 superpump, protein, workout

8:00 meat,pasta,vegs

10:00 snack

11-12 casein,zma

That's sort of my diet. You should be eating more often than it looks like you are. What ya think?

 

[gibsonj4]

Well, division VP was in my store today so food had to be cut to one meal. I dose the one with fish oil because I've always gone by the idea prohormones are best dosed with fat to help with absorbtion. I've been eating 3500-4000 cals a day and 350g carbs a day. I've been gaining a pound a week with diet alone and Prime I've used the past several weeks before didcontinuing it 3 days before I started the one.

 

[Jordinator]

Thought ZMA can't be taken with calcium (ie. casein shake).

 

[vector18]

That explains your lack of calories on your day 1. Sorry about that. Not sure
about the calcium thing in Casein, but I'll look into that. Thanks.

 

[gibsonj4]

no problem. Diet definately is in check. These couple days have just been super busy but I have been trying to prepare some foods before I go to work so I have something to eat of worth. The tuna meal is a good 600 calories with the mayo and 75g protein. I will prolly make that a staple for myu lunches because it's easy and good as far as protein. Should I worry about the mercury content and consuming that much every day?

 

[gibsonj4]

[gibsonj4]

why use supperpump??

SUBBED... i started the one

People have argued about this before but I do a PWO because of the lethargy I usually get from PH's plus I work out usually after work so I'm pretty tired when heading to the gym. Today, I definitely noticed the lethargy coming on a little bit I was taking today off anyways and good thing cause when I got food after work today I crashed for 3 hrs for a nap. I only used a scoop of SP250 just enough to get me a decent boost before workout.

 

[gibsonj4]

Day 3

Took today as my off day from the gym Definitely noticed a bit of lethargy in the afternoon from "The One" on the drive home and even the last hour of work. I may start splitting my dose up 1 in the morning and 2 at night. This is the first time I've not been super sore after back day so that definately is a plus. So far so good. Doing shoulders/traps/triceps tomorrow.

 

[vector18]

So far I'm one week and 3 days on The One myself. Strength in the gym is definitely
improving each time. I gained 5 pounds since the first day and like yourself, I get
kinda sleepy around 5-6pm with taking the 3 pills in the morning. Do you plan on
taking 4 pills per day towards the end?

WEEKLY REVIEW-- Week 1

Week Ending Weight: 183lbs 13oz (+5lbs 12oz.)
Week Ending BF%: 11.5

Ratings
Vascularity: 7/10
-No real changes in this department. Always have been somewhat vascular so this only gets better with getting leaner.

Strength 10/10
-This is the department that has increased very well. Did very well on back day as far as dead lifts, lat deck machine, and chins. I am really noticing the strength come on quickly with "The One."

Mass 10/10
-Nice weight gain, Quickest I've gotten with a PH (2lbs first week with trenadrol, 3lbs with Epi). Seems like a lean mass gain as well since starting BF% was 11.5% and I checked it today and this has stayed constant.

Nice job bro! Keep eating!
Noticed that alot of people don't like the superpump or creatine while on cycle. All I know Is mixing some SP or I like a Six Star product, and drinking while I lift keeps me going, keeps workouts intense, and motivation is up. And the H20 cant hurt!

Also, for a few days after completeing cycle I lost about 2.5 lbs of water weight right away, not using the one-diff cycle, case of the dumps for 2 days.

 

[gibsonj4]

Yeha, I'm switching to jack3d soon as I'm done with the superdump. The One just makes you really lethargic (at least me) in afternoon. Sorry I have not been logging. I am moving into a new place this weekend so i don't have internet yet but I am still lifting anmd eating very good.

 

[gibsonj4]

Day 16

I was 184.4lbs today btw but that was also post-workout and I sweat A LOT so I'm guessing i'm around 185-186ish and have lost some fat around the midsection.

Sorry for not logging the past week. I've been moving and still don't have internet. I'm stealing a wifi connection at my place until I get road runner high speed haha. oh well, here it goes:

9:30am: 1 cup oates, 1 banana, 2 tbsp ground flaxseeds, 12oz OJ, 7 fish oil caps

11:30pm 2.5 scoops Superdump250

WORKOUT: Chest/Triceps
Flat Smith: 105x15, 195x10, 215x8, 225x8
Peck Fly: 90x15, 120x15, 150x12*, 165x12* PR's for reps
Incline Hammer Strength: 90x15, 140x15, 160x14, 180x10
Dips (concentrated on chest) 2x20
Straight bar pressdowns: 90x15, 110x15, 110x15, 120x10
Overhead ex bar pull overs: 40x18, 40x18, 60x12

The tricep stuff was more for contraction and feeling the muscle working. Definitely had a good solid workout good energy and strength was there in a big way.

Meal 3 2:00pm: 1 cup oatmeal, 1 banana, 3 eggs, 12oz OJ, Multivitamin, 4 fish oil, 4 Milk Thistle
