Log: Olympus LAbs TR3ST + TR3N cycle

[Packers1504]

I will be logging my TR3ST + TR3N cycle for Olympus Labs as soon as it arrives. (I'm considering adding epistane as well but haven't decided yet on that - glad to hear anyone else's thoughts on adding to this cycle. I also have some dimethabold on hand).
I'm a competitive powerlifter competing in bench only in the 181 lb weight class. I have a personal best meet bench of 600 and am hoping to better that PR in 2014. I've had 4 surgeries on my left shoulder (torn labrum, torn rotator cuff, torn pec and torn bicep) and lift with 3 titanium anchors in my left shoulder. I currently have a torn labrum in my right shoulder but am putting off another surgery for now to see how competition goes in 2014. Olympus Labs has been gracious in sponsoring me. I'm hoping for some big lifts in 2014 with help from Olympus Labs!

Current Stats: Height - 5'4"
Weight - 178 lbs
Age: 48 - yes that is correct - 48

Goals - increase strength while getting just a little leaner

Diet - Protein - minimum 350 grams/day . 400 grams/day is my target
Calories - 2500 - 3000/day
Supps - No pre-workout supplements -
Protein - XF Ultra Peptide - 6 servings/day
Liv-52 - on cycle
hawthorne berry- on cycle
Damage Control - on cycle
Formeron - on cycle
Letro on hand - if needed
Tamoxifen on hand for post cycle

PH - TR3ST - 75mg/day
TR3N - 120mg/day

I will be starting the cycle once the TR3ST and TR3N arrive from Olympus Labs which should be soon. Olympus told me to set up my log today as it should arrive quick. If anyone has any thoughts/comments on this cycle, feel free to chime in. Be glad to hear what you guys have to say.

Woo-wee 600lb bench at that weight is no joke...

Curious as to how this stack treats you.

Doesn't Trest aromatize? Is an AI needed on cycle?

An AI is a MUST on this cycle.

An AI is a MUST on this cycle.

I would think so.

I'm in too. I've seen vids of your lifts - your strength is impressive.

Have you ever done full powerlifting meets?

Thanks, but unfortunately I can't do full power since my rotator cuff surgery. I never regained full range of motion in my left shoulder. I can't get my left arm back far enough to hold bar when doing regular squats. The only squatting I can do anymore is with a safety squat bar.

Subbed

 

[Packers1504]

I edited initial post. I will be adding Formeron on cycle. Also, the protein powder I have used for several years is Xtreme Formulations Ultra Peptide - strawberry - 6 serving spread throughout the day. I actually make strawberry ice cream with the protein powder - half cup frozen strawberries, 2 scoops protein and water. Mix it all up in a magic bullet blender. When the proportions are right it comes out with a consistency similar to soft ice cream. Tastes pretty damn good too.

April 30 - Bench
For those who don't know, I have a torn labrum in my right shoulder. It's been about a year now - trying to avoid surgery. It does cause substantial pain in my right shoulder when benching mostly. Some days are worse than others. Wednesday was one of the worse days. Worked up to 605 in my home gym and stopped there. Then went to the gym to finish up chest & triceps.
Starting to really notice that I am getting leaner - thanks no doubt to the TR3N. Today was really the first bad workout since my cycle started. And that was due to my shoulder issues. Hopefully the next bench workout will go better.

 

[edje007]

Weighed in this am at 182 lbs - up 3.5 since start of cycle

Yeah buddy

Up 3.5 and leaning up...win win situation.

Has anyone experienced any joint soreness while on TR3ST & TR3N? I'm having substantial pain in my right shoulder. It's most likely due to my torn labrum, but was just wondering what you guys think. My weight is up to 183.5 lbs. Still getting leaner as well! This cycle is working great so far. Just wish I didn't ahve my shoulder issue.

Haven't heard of that kind of sides... Maybe your strength has went up too fast and your joints can't handle it? Or maybe you're dosing your Formeron a bit too high?

I'm pretty sure its my labrum and not a side effect of the PH's. My shoulders just hate heavy benching. My Doc said surgery is the way to go, but I really am just trying to put surgery off as long as possible.

Hopefully you don't get hurt! Maybe peptides could help?
