CONTEXT:
-First timer, bloodwork says low end of normal testosterone (35 years old); tired of slow gains and want to give this a try.
-Training for many years - training intelligently and eating properly about three years.
-Training, nutrition, drugs, and lifestyle all locked down already.
-First trial will be two week duration. I will reassess at two week mark.
### ON PROGRAM
DRUGS:
-S1+ 6 squirts each @630am & @630pm
TRAINING:
-Mon/Wed/Fri - Lower Body: 3-4 sets of 6-10 reps per bodypart
-Tue/Thu/Sat - Upper Body: 3-4 sets of 6-10 reps per bodypart
-Base Tempo will be 3/0/2. Alternate supersets with 1 min rest.
-No sets taken to failure (try for one rep less than failure)
-Start with ~12RM and add 2% - 5% to the bar each session (HST principles)
-Almost all exercises will be uni-lateral or dumbbells
NUTRITION:
-Start at 22Kcal/lb & assess from there:
-2g/lb Protein (8Kcal)
-27% Fats (equally split among sat, mono, poly) (6Kcal)
-2g/lb Carbs (8kcal)
-Mostly whole foods; shakes right before bed and after workouts
SUPPLEMENTS:
-6g - 9g fish oil
-Flax, hemp, olive oil to fill out fat needs
-Workout drinks with dextrose, hydrolyzed whey
-Saw Palmetto 3x daily to keep old man `tate from getting too beefy
-Xandrox 5%
-Spironolactone 5%
### OFF PROGRAM
DRUGS:
-Week 1: Cytotam Tamoxifen Citrate 60mg daily
-Week 2: Cytotam Tamoxifen Citrate 30mg daily
-Week 3-4: continue 30mg daily (hopefully I can recover in two weeks)
TRAINING:
-Mon/Thu - Lower Body: 3-5 sets of 3-6 reps per bodypart
-Tue/Fri - Upper Body: 3-5 sets of 3-6 reps per bodypart
-Base Tempo will be 3/1/x. Alternate supersets with 2 min rest.
-No sets taken to failure (try for one rep less than failure)
-Start with new estimated 7RM and add 2% to bar per session
-Probably alternate heavy/light; e.g: Mon 5x3 / Thu 3x6
NUTRITION:
-Start at 18Kcal/lb (should be about maintenance x 1.2)
-1.25g/lb Protein (5Kcal)
-30% Fats (equally split mono, poly; sat at 10%) (6Kcal)
-1.75g/lb Carbs (7kcal)
-Mostly whole foods; shakes right before bed and after workouts
SUPPLEMENTS:
-7-oxo (If I can find it)
-HMB 1g every 3 hours
-Creatine
-6g-9g fish oil
-EC possibly if I am dragging
-Flax, hemp, olive oil to fill out fat needs
-Workout drinks with dextrose, hydolyzed whey, creatine & taurine
### PLANNED MESO/META CYCLES:
-2on/2(or 4)off and if it works out okay, then..
-2on/2(or 4)off
-2on/2(or 4)off
-4-6 week conjugate training scheme; overall focus on maximal strength
-1-2 week rest with minimum effective maintenance training load
-CKD to lean back down to 10% bodyfat
### QUESTIONS:
The "bros" tell me nothing will happen in two weeks, but according to the manufacturer, S1+ should result in increased serum levels within 24 hours. I think I will have an easier time retaining any gains if I do not extend the ON period and end up shutdown. Does this make sense?
Does my meta cycle plan for the next few months seem like a reasonable approach to keep gains?
Is depression exacerbated when coming off these compounds?
Thanks in advance!!
