I've decided it's time to break on through to the other side (Jim Morrison reference). I got the okay from the wife, I've talked to my dad (who was a competitive powerlifter that used) and he gives me his support, but it wouldn't be ANYTHING without my AM family on board too. I'm currently using Wendler's 5-3-1 program for a recomp to increase strength while cutting BF. I'll continue to do this over the next 8 weeks before running my cycle, but I wanted to start getting input now. I'm considering going to FST-7 while on cycle unless anyone has some really good reasons to go with something else. So here's my setup:
STATS
Age: 35
Height: 5'11
Weight: 180
BF%: 14 (will be getting a more accurate reading of this pre-cycle)
Goal: Lean Bulk/Recomp
CYCLE
Weeks 1-4: DBol - 20-40mg/D (dosing will depend on sides)
Weeks 1-12: Test E - 500mg/D (250mg M/Th)
Weeks 1-12: Arimidex - .5mg/EoD
Weeks 15-16: Nolvadex - 50mg/D
Weeks 17-18: Nolvadex - 25mg/D
SUPPLEMENTS (On-cycle)
Creatine
Taurine
Cycle Assist
TUDCA
Orange Triad
EFA's
Co-Q10
Enhanced (PrWO)
BCAAs/SAAs
Whey Protein
SUPPLEMENTS (Post-cycle)
DAA
Alphamine
FOOD
I'll work up to 3k calories for the first 2 weeks and then add 500 calories the following 2 weeks to hit 3500. I'll readjust as needed after that. The bulk of my carbs will be in the first half the day. Macros will look something like this:
360 P - 320 C - 100 F (Workout days) 3600kcal
320 P - 120 C - 130 F (Non-WO days) 3000kcal
So what do you think? I know it's pretty straight forward for a first cycle and you guys have looked at hundreds of these setups, so I appreciate you taking the time to look at yet another one. :-D
