I would start it today. You're on a deadline for detection; you'll get the serm before the cycle is over anyways.

Hdrol is pretty mild, I wasn't religious with cycle support and skipped it some days. Although, I normally have low BP, that's why it wasn't a concern with me. If you run high, I'd watch it because it does raise your BP a bit. At least for me it did.

Who cares? A couple days without cycle support isn't going to make a difference.
Bro, everybody knows you preload for two weeks c'mon ;)

Kick, start tomorrow, add your cycle support in when it comes in

Hey guys, starting this log tomorrow. Still don't have OCT but it should be here tomorrow or Tuesday as well as the SERM. Anyway I was wondering how much I should limit my cardio to since I'll be bulking. I want to run hills, come drills, suicide, weighted sled and all that good stuff. Should I cut it down for an effective bulk or not even do it? Thanks in advance

Log day 1 on halo x :

I did day 1 of Layne Norton's PHAT program :

Pulling Power Movement: Bent over or Pendlay rows
3 sets of 3-5 reps
Assistance Pulling movement: Weighted Pull ups
2 sets of 6-10 reps
Auxiliary Pulling movement: Rack chins
2 sets of 6-10 reps
Pressing Power Movement: Flat dumbbell presses
3 sets of 3-5 reps
Assistance pressing movement: Weighted dips
2 sets of 6-10 reps
Assistance pressing movement: Seated dumbbell shoulder presses
3 sets of 6-10 reps
Auxiliary curling movement: Cambered bar curls
3 sets of 6-10 reps
Auxiliary extension movement: Skull crushers
3 sets of 6-10 reps

I took 2 pills in the AM and 30 mins before my workout at 3:30. I know I prob won't feel it for a few weeks but I felt really pumped up today. I have great vascularity so there prob won't be much of a change there except towards the end.

Any of you very experienced lifters that know the PHAT routine have anything that could be added today? I felt pumped but I feel as if I coulda got more of a pump, like muscle tearing out of my skin. Wasn't like that today but still great!

These guys are correct increased clean calories will be key to adding size..
"clean" foods are overrated. Im not saying go and eat **** food all day, but it wont hurt if you use them to get in your cals for the day.

I hope your right because I just ordered two pounds of buffalo wings. Keep in mind in 4% body weight. Guess I shoulda said that. Idk if that makes it ok to eat some dense unclean calories here and there.

You mean your 4% bf? And if you really are... why? And ya regardless you should be okay. It will come down to total calories at the end of the day

Ok I guess that's and a bit of a stretch. I just asked my bro to ask bc he's big into body fat count and clean diet. I think I'm honestly 8 or 9 being realistic. Most fat I have is just on my lower abdomen . Regardless I'm super excited to see what halo can do for me.

Calories : 4000 protein : 230 carbs : I wasn't sure on this so but I prob average about over 100 carbs per meal land I eat 4 big meals a day and some medium meals inbetween which my carbs are prob around 50-60. I never go longer than 3 hours without eating . I've just been trying to eat any meat source I can find lol and if course I'm eat greens and drinking water, skim milk, and occasionally homemade lemon tea. Please feel free to suggest a change if needed. This is where my research hit a plateau a few months ago.

Halo x day 4 log :

Did lower body today hypertrophy

Lower Body Power Exercise speed work: Squats
6 sets of 3 reps with 65-70% of normal 3-5 rep max
Hypertrophy pressing movement: Hack squats
3 sets of 8-12 reps
Hypertrophy pressing movement: Leg presses

Had an awesome pump!! Usually I never enjoy leg day but I flew through it but it still kicked my ass in a pretty good way.

On a side not day 3 was good too, back and shoulders. I had a death in the family yesterday so I had no time to log! I'll keep logging away and So far no at a dosing of 75 mg not noticing any sides. So I guess my body's reacting fairly decent. A few things here and there but they could just be naturally occurring so im not gonna flag anything! I'll keep me coming. Thx fellas

Squat : Up to 395
Bench : 275 ( never been a good bencher )

My goal is to bulk and gain atleast 10-15 pounds that I can keep after it's all said and done. Also I'd like to do 225 18 times right now I'm at 11. My numbers have been higher in high school but college injuries have plagued me thus far. Nothing too serious but just enough to where I'll I'd be missing 2 weeks here or there of lifting.

A lot of improving your 225 for reps is technique. Doing it powerlifter style where you get a big back arch, wide grip, and keep your elbows in while minimizing your range of motion helps a lot. It puts the onus heavily on triceps (and some on front delts) though, so it's not good for bodybuilding but it's effective for improving your reps.

In getting ready for pro day I trained to lift like that and went from 18 to 28 reps at 235# bw without significantly improving my strength.

Now, though, I can lift far more reps than that but lift it bb style with flared elbows but am just stronger haha. I did a drop set from 405 the other day where I finished up with 18 reps at 225 after 10 and 12 reps at 4/3 plates.

Some ppl put up ridic #s. Dri archer this year got 20 reps at 173, Thomas brown in 2008 may have been the strongest player in the nfl pound for pound put up 25 reps at 180. I think he could have done more if he'd trained for that lift too, that guy could bench 500 lb at 180.

A big part for me of 225 test has been breathing patterns. And myster3 is on point, it all about technique.
