I am a human yo-yo. I prefer short cycles for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the relative simplicity of the PCT regimen and the decreased long term implications on natural hormone production. Still, I typically take ten steps foreword and eight steps back from the conclusion of one cycle until the beginning of the next.
I just finished a 33 day cycle of tren/test/sd (30 mg/ed, 70 mg/ed, 20 mg/ed respectively) and was ecstatic with the results. Before I discuss my stats, let me elaborate on my goals. I am 33 years old, 5’8� tall, and do not want to gain overall body weight. At much above 200 lbs in total body mass, I begin to look like a vw bug (stocky and not very nimble). My goals (on-cycle) are to increase lean body mass, decrease fat mass and increase strength with a minimal gain in overall body weight. I was able to accomplish all of those goals on my last cycle. Now, too maintain. However, rather than taking eight steps back, I want to cut that too four or five. So, here’s my plan.
Workout:
1. Decrease from one body part per five days to one body part per seven days.
2. Decrease volume, increase intensity
Diet:
1. 35% Protein/35% complex carbs/30% Fat
2. Approx 3000 calories/day
3. 2250 mg’s EPA/DHA
4. 2400 mg’s sesamin (Sesathin by Avant)
5. 10 grams lecithin/day
Supplementation:
1. 40/30/20/20 mg’s Tamoxifen weeks 1-4
2. 6 grams/day CEE (not used during cycle)
3. 6 Caps/day cAMPPHOLIC
4. 300 mg DHEA, 50 mg 6-OXO, 100 mg 7-OXO-DHEA per day transdermal
5. 3000 mg’s ALCAR and 1200 mg’s R-ALA day
6. 25-40 mg’s day Ephedrine HCL
7. 4 grams tribulus per day
My rationale:
Diet is just above maintenance calories. It will consist of a healthy amount of fats and low gi carb sources. Much of that 30% will come from fish oil, sesamin and lecithin. These fats have proven to be great nutrient partitioning sources. The rationale for the tamoxifen as an estrogen antagonist to stimulate LH production has been well documented on this site. I am not worried about the needing HCG. I believe leydig cell production will normalize very quickly after a short cycle. The rationale for the transdermal mix of DHEA, 6-OXO and 7-OXO is a bit of an experiment. Studies on DHEA supplementation has had mixed results. The general consensus is that while DHEA is mildly anabolic, the increase in aromotization to estrogen decreases any benefit. The are a few of us that believe that stacking DHEA with a AI or suicide inhibitor may make DHEA more beneficial (http://anabolicminds.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24630). I am using a small amout of ephedrine (only 25 mg’s day) for its sympathomimetic effects (it is lean tissue sparing when your body’s hormones are out of balance). After reading the recently posted studies on forkolin and its benefits post cycle, I was originally planning on buying a shitload of it bulk. However, in the end I figured I would try to support the board sponsors, so I ordered cAMPHOLIC from Nutraplanet. I will dose at 6 caps per day. Lastly, the tribulus is simply to keep sex drive up during PCT.
