Alright guys. This is going to be my second log. I ran the first on the Primordial forums only. This time, I'll be using Primordial's Xtreme Hardcore Muscle Stack.
LETS GET IT ON!
BACKGROUND:
This will be my second cycle utilizing products from Primordial Performance. The first cycle consisted of 1-T and Phyto-Testosterone, and I experienced some great gains. My strength increased noticeably and my weight shot up ~18 pounds. To date I have only lost ~3 of those 18 pounds, and my strength is still decent (for me at least ).
Prior to the cycle of 1-T and Phyto-Test I had only used very mild hormonal products, including LG Sciences Trifecta Stack (Methyl 1-D, Liquid Masterdrol, Formadrol Extreme), Gaspari Nutritions Halodrol Liquigels and Novadex XT, and MuscleMeds' Arimatest. Obviously these products are of a lesser caliber.
STATS:
Age: 22
Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 198-199
GOALS:
1) To put on several pounds of lean body mass.
2) To increase strength.
I still want to add mass to my frame, so I'm not terribly concerned with a "ripped" look at the moment. I have some DermaTherm that I plan to use to help shed some fat before summer hits.
I'll be following the guidelines provided by Primordial for this cycle*:
(with the exception of the extra week of Toco-8)
*During PCT I will also utilize Get Diesels Diesel Test Hardcore.
I have some extra Toco-8, so I will begin using it during week 2 rather than week 3.
Following PCT, I plan on using Diesel Test Hardcore along with Phyto-Testosterone for 4-8 weeks. I also plan on using DermaTherm at some point in this general timeframe (following ample time off, of course ).
SUPPLEMENTS:
Anabolic Innovations Cycle Assist: 2 scoops daily
P-5-P: 200mg daily
Vitex: 1000mg daily
Multivitamin
Creatine
Beta Alanine
Protein Powder
BCAAs
MHPs Dark Matter (post-workout)
Glucosamine/Chondroitin
Liquid vitamin B-12
I also have a couple pre-workout powders if I need a kick in the arse.
TRAINING:
I'll utilize a 3 day ON/1 day OFF regimen, focusing on 2 muscle groups per day. One day will consist of training back and biceps, another will focus on legs and shoulders, and the other will concentrate on chest and triceps.
I'll be going hard and heavy.
Cardio will be performed at my discretion.
DIET:
I haven't decided exactly how "clean" I want this bulk to be. However, I will be ramping up my calories and ingesting over 300 grams of protein daily. I'll also increase my intake of water to 1.5-2 gallons per day.
UPDATES:
I'll give updates a couple times a week. Let me know what you guys would like to hear about.
