CEL H-DROL/GENERA SUPPLEMENTS EPIDROL LOG
What's up everyone? Long-time lurker here, I just recently started posting a bit, but I decided it's finally time for me to contribute something to the forum that has been a daily ritual for me for the past year or so. I'm a complete forum newbie, but I'll do my best to keep this log well organized, taking a little inspiration from some of the great logs I've read over the year by Riseboi, Celc5, Cellardude, etc.
INTRO:
So to get things started, here's a little bit about me. I've been working out for 4-5 years now, but only really seriously the past 2 years. I've had a few setbacks this past year, including a broken hand that I brilliantly chose to let heal on its own (despite the excruciating pain and swelling/bruising, I did not know it was broken until a doctor visit months later, and it had already set :blink: ). This was followed by a grade 2 ankle sprain, which also kept me out of the game for a while.
I've been lifting at full strength again the past 4 or 5 months, but just started going all out the past couple, so some of the gains I make may be a bit related to muscle memory and the likes, as I am still not up to my all-time maxes.
While I have only been hitting the weights seriously for 2 years, I have always been very much into sports, playing basketball, baseball and soccer competitively at different times for nearly two decades now.
STATS:
Just the basics here.
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 208 - I have been cutting a bit the past month, so I expect to put on quite a few lbs in the first week.
Bodyfat: Approx. 12-15% :think: (haven't been measured for a while)
Age: 27
Bodytype: Ectormorph
My current big three lifts:
Bench Press: 235lb
Squat: 295lb
Deadlift: 350lb
Goal: 10-15lbs (couple of those pounds being fat)
SUPPLEMENT EXPERIENCE:
Over the past couple years I've taken:
Green Mag
Purple Wrath
White Flood
RPM
IGF-2
Jungle Warfare
Restore
Activate Xtreme
Not to mention the staples.
WORKOUT:
I've tried various routines over the years, from full-body training, to 2-day splits, to one muscle group per day, per week. I've been reading up on doggcrapp and have decided I'm going to try a similar routine (I may be missing some of the details) for this cycle, and depending on my results, may continue with it.
I'm not going to bother breaking down each workout day in this post, since I'll be posting my workouts anyway.
DIET:
I am a big-time ectomorph. I have a very hard time putting on weight, and maintain in the 4000-5000 cal. range while not on any supplements, depending on my activity level. For this cycle I will be attempting a bulk, with an approx. 40/40/20 split. I will not be too strict on myself, but it will be a clean bulk for the most part. I'm going to start by trying to hit around 5000-5500 calories per and may adjust depending on my results. I know the H-drol and Epidrol will require a greater excess of calories than would normally be needed for a bulk. I'm not going to be breaking my meals down on a daily basis online, though I do keep a hardcopy log, too make sure I'm keeping everything in check.
CYCLE SUPPLEMENTS:
Cel H-Drol
Genera Supplements Epidrol
After following along with BigAsian's log, I will be doing a similar dosing:
Week 1: 50mg H-drol
Week 2: 50mg H-drol
Week 3: 50mg H-drol + 20mg Epidrol (1st 3 days at 10mg)
Week 4: 50mg H-drol + 30mg Epidrol
Week 5: 30mg Epidrol
Week 6: 30mg Epidrol
Depending on how I feel, I may up the Epidrol to 40mg in Week 5 or Week 6. It's also possible I cut the cycle short. I had been planning on just running the h-drol for 4 weeks at 50mg, and I may still do this, however I'm worried I might be underdosing a bit. I also have a bottle of Epidrol, so after reading through BigAsian's log and considering adding that in at Week 3. Hopefully some discussion may come up on this point, since it is my first cycle.
Support Supps:
Fish Oil
Sesamin Oil
Milk Thistle
Saw Palmetto
Hawthorn Berry
CoQ10
Glucosamine
Cissus
1-carboxy-2-amino-3-pyrobenzol
Niacin
Vitamin B-5
Vitamin B-Complex
Vitamin C
Opti-Men Multi
BCAAs (20-30g per day, during and post WO)
I will also have Taurine on hand and policosanol, which I am not too sure if I should take or not. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated, as I have read that it is a great on cycle and post cycle therapy supp, but haven't seen to many people who use it. I have a couple bottles of SAMe as well, if anyone thinks the support supps above are lacking. Or, maybe I'm going overboard. Any advice at all on this matter is welcome.
PCT:
SERM (have this on-hand already :thumbsup
MassFX Maximum Strength
E-form, which I will run inversely to the SERM
RPM
ZMA
Green Mag
BCAAs
Lean Xtreme
I also have various other test boosters kicking around, Drive, Activate Xtreme, plus some bulk stuff, such as Horny Goat Weed, Long Jack, Maca and Testofen powder. At this point I'm not planning on using any of these, but am open to suggestions.
I will be continuing with all the support supps and vitamins throughout PCT, which will last for one month.
I workout in the morning, so I will be dosing 25mg H-drol with breakfast and 25mg 6-7 hours later also with a meal (both times with fish oil). If anyone has any other recommendations on dosage timings, or the likes, it would be appreciated. My plan is to take the milk thistle in the evening sometime after my last dose of h-drol. Everything else 2 times per day with meals, fish oils and sesamin oil. I think I have everything pretty much covered, but if anyone notices anything above that shouldn't be taken at the same time, let me know.
Special thanks to Botch for directing me to a few of the absolute essentials for this cycle.
That covers the intro, onto day 1 :head:
