Tr3st/D1methadrol log

[KiingAbbs]

Started a cycle of tr3st and d1methadrol by Olympus Labs today, decided last minute that I'd try logging it since I haven't seen anyone else run this combo.

-Stats-
Age: 22
Weight: 191lbs
Height: 5' 6"
BF: Approximately 14-15%

-Current PR's-
Squats - 335lbs
Dead Lifts - 365lbs
DB Bench - 115lb db's
Barbell Bench - 245lbs

I've ran d1methadrol several times before and love it. I've run it with tr3n, epi, and m-sten before and saw great progress. Been wanting to try tr3st, so here it goes.

Running for 5 weeks

Keeping it simple. Might go up to 75mg and 30mg the last week or two though. We'll see.
Tr3st: 50/50/50/50/50
D1methadrol: 20/20/20/20/20

Using El1minate by Olympus Labs and Life Support by AI during cycle.

Current routine has been a push/pull/legs rotation twice a week with 1-2 days rest depending on how I feel. And I do cardio around twice a week, usually 300-400 calorie sessions. Gonna raise it to 3 times a week soon though.

Today i took first dose of tr3st & d1meth pre workout and did legs today. (I'll be taking first dose around 9am and second dose around 9pm every day)

Push day today! (Chest, Delts, and Triceps) Been feeling great all day today, was super pumped for the gym.

In the gym for less than 20 minutes and I broke my PR on dumbbell bench press! New PR is 120's! Not to mention, I have never done my starting sets with 100's and managed to get 10 full reps on multiple sets. Smashed my workout today and still feel pumped as I'm typing this.

Really looking forward to the coming weeks, having good feelings about this cycle!

[Goliath1]

Subbed.,.

 

[KiingAbbs]

Thanks everyone! Lookin' forward to some deadlifts tomorrow!

 

[KiingAbbs]

Alright! Day 3, feeling great so far. Did a pull workout today (back, traps, and biceps) and got the best pump going in my lats haha felt amazing! Deads were all that impressive today, was hopeful but just not really feelin it today. Pullups though, normally I'm not the best with pullups, but today i was able to knock out 20 straight on my first set and still manage to get 3 sets of 8-10 weighted on top of a final set of 15 unweighted. Also, my shrugs today were monstrous! Only at the peak of a high dosed tren/dimeth cycle back in like February was i able to hit that weight.

Overall great workout, im definitely noticing a difference with the tr3st already. D1meth with tr3n (my last cycle) was great as well, but took a few days or so to really notice changes, and they werent as big of changes as im already seeing on this cycle. So i'm stoked!

[KiingAbbs]

Think I should've mentioned that Im aiming to lean down some on this cycle while maintaining size and strength and putting on a little size if I can. I've been going off approximately ~2500 calories (which is normally my maintenance calories) and I've done 2 cardio sessions last week (425 and 500 calorie sessions), and my weight has managed to go up to 192 (and maintain it for the last 2-3 days despite feeling somewhat leaner.)

 

[KiingAbbs]

Ok, so first couple days were great, but since Monday I've felt weak and just drained. Nit feeling any sort of push that I got the first couple days. Starting week 2 today. Maybe up dosage? Or wait til end of this week? Unsure. Not liking this sudden weak feeling though.

 

[edje007]

Subbed! Enjoy our products.

Time to grow! Yeah buddy!

 

[KiingAbbs]

Gonna have a refeed tonight, hopefully that'll help bring my strength back up! Contemplating switching up my routine too considering I've been doing the same routine for around 5-6 months. We'll see. But for now, REFEED!

Man, that sounds like it is definetely time to change your routine.

 

[KiingAbbs]

Yeah, unsure of what to switch up to though. Been seeing great progress on this routine over the long term. And even recently broke several PR's, but this sudden strength crash this week sucks.

Do you switch exercises? Angles etc?

 

[KiingAbbs]

Do you switch exercises? Angles etc?

Yeah, I'll do push/pull/legs/push/pull/legs/rest
I'll repeat that every week, sometimes with 2 rest days before repeating.
For example, the first push day I'll do flat db bench as my primary chest lift and the second push day ill do incline barbell bench for my primary chest lift.
Or I'll alternate between t-bar rows And barbell rows every other pull day, etc. Or I'll alternate one day as more strength focused and the next more hypertrophy focused. Just depends. i try to vary it up a little, but i also try to stick to a set platform because I've made good progress with it, so why change everything? At least til this week lol last week i changed things up a little just for fun and broke a couple PR's.

Sounds good.

You can always up the intensity during cycle with some high intensity techniques.

Still , your body is smart and gets used to certain routines.

Yeah, thinking of switching back to a bro-type split so I can up the intensity a little without pre-fatiguing chest before shoulders or back before biceps, etc. we'll see. I'll keep things updated when I figure it out!

 

[KiingAbbs]

So I got some extra sleep last night and had my refeed, went to the gym today and things were MUCH better! Weight was also at 194.6 this morning. Which is crazy because normally at the caloric deficit ive been going at with the amount of cardio ive been doing, id be down to like 187-188ish by now. Crazy.

Well, on a good note, I actually had a great leg workout today, which was a relief after the last 3 days. Beat my previous deadlift PR by 10lbs. Deads have never been my strongest point, need work, but I raised my PR without using straps so I'm happy with today.

Just caught up. Nice leg sesh for sure.

I'm glad the refeed helped. I was actually going to suggest upping calories a little during this cycle. Supplementation is only a part of a good cycle. It can drive you to hit PRS, and lift harder and longer, but if the body isn't fueled properly you're just going to crash (physically).

 

[RegisterJr]

Also, very impressed with the DL PR after those squat numbers.

Yeah, definitely underestimated my calorie needs this cycle. Normally I cut on around 2100-2300 calories off cycle and maintain strength decently, but now ~2500-2700 made me feel weak and super hungry lol this tr3st is good stuff. Im liking it so far.



Oh, and just a side note, as far as sides, nothing except a little bit of acne on my back/shoulders. VERY minor though. Had blood pressure checked the other day and my levels were great (114/72).
Nothing else to point out yet.

 

[RegisterJr]

Awesome on your BP bro. I see acne increase as a positive. Lol

Came up with a new routine to start. Gonna look like this:
Shoulders/Tri's
Legs
Chest/Bi's
Back/Forearms

Going to cycle it so I hit one of the workouts twice a week. First week will be shoulders/tri's on Monday, legs on Tuesday, chest/bi's on Wednesday, back/forearms on Thursday, and shoulders/tri's again on Friday.
The following week will start with legs on Monday and then finish with legs on Friday, and so on.

 

[RegisterJr]

Strong push-pull day King.

What all do you do for forearms? I haven't really done much on them in years.

 

[KiingAbbs]

Strong push-pull day King. What all do you do for forearms? I haven't really done much on them in years.

Thanks, I actually haven't been doing any forearm specific work in well over a year. I just build grip strength from deads, shrugs, rows, etc. without using straps. Figured I could maybe use a little isolation work with my new split though.

 

[turff49]

Surprised your not grouping Chest with tris and back with bis since those are the typical secondary muscle working with the primary.

 

[RegisterJr]

Surprised your not grouping Chest with tris and back with bis since those are the typical secondary muscle working with the primary.

When I used to make my own routines, I would switch up the pairings. The smaller accessory muscles react differently, and different areas of the muscle get worked, depending on what you pair them with.

 

[KiingAbbs]

Surprised your not grouping Chest with tris and back with bis since those are the typical secondary muscle working with the primary.

Yeah, I just don't want to pre-fatigue my tri's or bi's too much by putting them after chest or back. Find that happens a lot, then my arm workouts are half-assed lol

 

[turff49]

Will your bis not still be fatigued when you do back the next day, in turn not getting as good a back workout. Just asking because some still feel the fatigue. I personally don't usually feel it.
I've seen a few people going to a similar split like yours so it piqued my interest.

I'm not too worried about being fatigued the day after, I normally don't have much of an issue there. It's just usually during my workout if they're paired together that I notice a difference. We'll see how it goes though, haven't followed a split like this in a while.

 

[KiingAbbs]

Good lord. Shoulders and triceps today was AMAZING! I literally broke multiple PR's today. Mind blowjng pump and just amazed at my strength throughout the whole workout.

Thanks everyone! Super impressed with the strength gains I saw today. Let's hope they last through my other workouts this week.

Thought I'd give everyone a heads up, hitting legs pretty intensely tomorrow, pretty pumped about it already!

Very strong leg day. Nice PR!

 

[turff49]

Yep, killer leg workout man! Glad to see someone else do Sumo's too!

 

[KiingAbbs]

Starting week 3 tomorrow!

Ok, so i know the plan was:

Tr3st
2/2/2/2/2
D1meth
2/2/2/2/2

But I'm thinking of upping the dosage a little and going for 6 weeks instead of 5 because this cycle is just amazing.

Looking to do this now:

Tr3st
2/2/3/3/3/4
D1meth
2/2/3/3/3/4

I ran my last tr3n/d1meth cycle like this and had a good run, so I'm hoping for even better things this time since tr3st is seeming to blow tr3n out of the water.


So far no sides at all. Just minor acne, but like RegistJr said, not necessarily a bad thing. Just lets me know everything's working lol. BP is still great and no signs of gyno or anything. I've been pretty lucky with avoiding gyno though. Never had any signs of it on any cycles. So I'm grateful for that lol

 

[KiingAbbs]

Chest and Biceps workout today was pretty good. No PR's today, but I was still able to put up decent weights.

Dude, your incline bench is STRONG with a capital whocaresaboutbiceps.

The biceps will grow with necessity as you work the larger muscles. As nice as big biceps are, you reach a certain point where you'd gladly trade them for chest strength.

I may or may not be talking about myself.. Lol
