Info about myself!
Hi, my name is Jordan. I enjoy long walks on the beach. This will be my first PH cycle, so lets all watch as I crash and burn... Not really, but lets hope not.
I have been training for going on 7 years. I aim to become a competitive bodybuilder, but I want to make it worthwhile, I hate seeing bodybuilders that weigh <170 on stage.
I have a slightly sarcastic nature, so if I say something, don't let it offend you, it is all in good humor.

Thanks for the quick suggestion!

I'm not going to copy and paste the workout because it is waayy to long, but I'll give yaull some points.
It combines periodization, daily undulating periodization, and summated microcycles by having differently styled workouts to get the most out of every muscle fiber. There are hypertrophy cycles, strength cycles, shock cycles, and active recovery workouts. Working out twice a day, six days a week for one month followed by a taper. I may extend the workout to the end of my PH usage.

For Example!
For large muscle groups, I wanted to typically follow these guidelines:

Heavy Cycle—Train twice in one day

2 days rest

Hypertrophy Cycle—Train twice in one day

3 days rest

Shock cycle—train once

3 days rest

Active recovery—train once

2 days rest

Repeat
Strength & Hypertrophy Workouts Explained
This will follow the same principles of a traditional periodization strength cycle. Repetitions here will typically be 1-6, with 3-5 minutes rest in-between sets. Volume will be lower here.

The cadence (rep speed) will be 1-2 seconds on the concentric and eccentric portion of the repetition. Basically, it will as fast as possible, but in a controlled manner.

The hypertrophy workouts will also follow a traditional periodization format. This will involve moderate intensity, limited rest, and relatively higher volume. Typically 8-12+ reps are performed, with 1-2 minutes of rest between sets. The goal is to develop peripheral factors such as stronger tendon, and ligament strength, and enlarge cross sectional area (muscle mass), which will also allow you to increase the capacity to express a given skill, and avoid future injuries.

The Cadence will be 3-5 seconds on the eccentric phase (naturally longer for the legs) and 2 seconds for the concentric portion of the rep.
Shock Workouts Explained

Also known as an overreaching cycle, a shock cycle, or workout, entails the athlete training in such a way as to accumulate fatigue or depletion, followed by a longer than normal rest period. This combination is thought to lead to an even greater super compensation effect. An example would entail performing 10 strip sets on a body part, followed by greater rest periods between sessions. I will be performing some unique shocking methods, and will only train the muscle once that day (on most occasions). I will then allow a longer rest period time, around 4-5 days in duration.
Active Recovery Workouts Explained

I will be using the method prescribed by Wilson, G. (2003) in, Active Recovery - A Threefold Breakdown.
I will perform a few light, high rep resistance training exercises. The goal is to enhance blood flow to the area, but at the same time, avoid any micro trauma to your muscles. As such, the weight will be of minimal resistance, and approximately 20 reps plus. Studies show eccentric training causes extreme muscular damage (refer to the following article for extensive research on this, Cliff Hanger Part I). As such, I will avoid tension on this portion of the repetition by performing a 1 second eccentric repetition per rep. The concentric aspect of the lift will last 1-2 seconds. I will do around 2-5 sets per muscle group. A sample workout for forearms would entail 2 sets of 20 reps with reverse barbell wrist curls, and 2 sets of 20 reps with barbell wrist curls, using minimal resistance. I will primarily do this with my criterion lifts (explained further on).

You grow while resting, not while you are lifting. If you want to increase your volume, then do it, but that plan seems like too much. Adding an extra day every week is okay, but training in a fashion that you are unfamiliar with is generally not a good idea because you do not know if the WO or the AAS led to your gains.

What is your current split?

My volume is already high as heck. Thats just how I prefer it.
I have tried this routine before about a year ago, got maybe two weeks into it, and was very wore out. So, now I'm more prepared, and going to be on some decently strong PHs. So, I'll be ok.
And if you don't train in unfamiliar fashion, then eventually your gains will taper off. And of course the PHs will help my gains. Higher test= better gains, end of story.

EDIT: Are you really a pro MMA fighter??!

U is a big summabeach, your penis is kinda small though....

Good luck. Interesting set up. What is the advantage of overlapping the PP and Prostan vs just stopping the PP and beginning the Prostan??

the prostanZOL is from what i gather very weak solo, to take advantage of it it needs to be stacked with something else. I still have an unopened bottle....dont know when i ill ever get around to using it.


JTH, You should make some nice gains looks like you have really done a good job natural and everything seems to be very structured so Im guessing 15lbs since this is your first. Very good you did your research :type:

Ok, there is this commentary that the creator of this split made, and in it he said this was the hardest workout of the split... And I thought he may have been exagerating, but unfortunately he wasn't. By the end I wanted to drop to the fetal position. The chest portion of the workout was pretty easy, it was the back shock that KILLED me.

Yep yep! Did I spell it wrong? XD oops. Yeah, its very weak, doses up to 200mg aren't uncommon., and its relatively side-effect free. Its a nice stack with PP because PP is a mildly wet compound, and Prostanzol is very dry, so it will help me look more dry and more test is always good. Also, it will be a nice ramp down from the 30mg of PP. Some people drop really hard when they go straight from 30mg+ of PP to PCT.

Is there any chance you would want to sell that bottle of yours piston? I can pay via paypal, or however is convenient.

And yeah Travis, it really is my weak point, I think it may be from the steroids...:think:

BTW Tank76 is my workout buddy. His life goal is to be as good as me.. ;) So, be kind.
Why would I wanna be a poon??

haha, well anyways, I am this big guys workout partner, and we are both using PP. We are tryin to keep our diets, supps, everything the same. Soo I'm going to take the lazy way out and just use his log and add mine on as well, since we are doing everything exactly the same.

First off, my stats are:

Height: 6'
Weight: 219
Penis: 3ft <----also my weak point

bench: 345
squat: 485
Deadlift: 480? (haven't realy gotten a clear max yet, just an assumption)

Since I am doing the same exact workout that JTH is doing, I'm just going to add my 2 cents on how i thought it was and also add what positive and negative effects I gain from the workout and the PP.

Well, as you all know, this is the third day that we have been on this workout. We missed the second work out of the first day, and I missed the first workout of yesterday, seeing as i was at work...

TODAY
the workout was pretty awesome. Back shocks do suck very big balls, but it wasn't quite as bad as I was expecting. I missed the back shock in the first work because, again, I had to leave early for work, so i focused more of my time on the thing I thought needed the most work...my chest. My diet is alright, but it could definately improve. So far today I've had a bowl of oat meal, a 50g protein shake, 2 grilled chicken wraps, a meal replacement bar, another 50g protein shake, and I'm about to eat some more, and then probably some more....

I know, may calorie intake needs to go up and so does my protein intake, but I'm working on it, I just need some more planning, and alot more chicken....

Curious about this part:

Days 73- ???
...Who knows... Maybe HX2+MFX or an evolution cycle


Why not run the HX2+MFX or something like the NHA stack along with the Retain during your PCT instead of after your PCT is over? You should be able to run that stack for 2 months as well. I'm just a noob myself, but to me it would make sense for getting your test production / libido back in order immediately after a cycle as well as continuing and solidifying those gains.

Honestly, for no other reason than I don't have the extra 70$ at the moment to buy it. I'm sure it would be beneficial, and I've heard great things about 6-bromo during PCT, but alas, I'm a poor college student:whiner:

Im going on a church trip for 5 days, leaving tommmorrow. I will still be training using dumbbells and some plyometrics. It will actually prove beneficial so I don't overtrain. Worst case scenario, I miss one workout. So, it won't really hurt anything. I will be bringing a supply of Whey, Casein, MRP bars, MRP shakes, etc. And because my legs are fried I went ahead and did day 6 Morning workout tonight.

These numbers are horrible compared to wednesdays.

Pictures!
I feel harder, more vascular, but nearing overtraining, maybe a little bloated.

yeah, I'm definately feeling bloated. I pretty much feel like a fat ass, even though I have only gained about 3 pounds so far, and my lifts are better than ever I believe. I hate the feeling of being fat and bloated, so I cant wait to start post cycle and get some of this extra water out of my system...Anywho, trying to find an effective way to workout at the beach with such limited resources is going to be exciting...we may end up doing dead lifts with the bed, haha, but o well, the beach is the beach, and it should be a good, much needed break :dance:

Day 11 Weight: 234.5 (+3.5) Bodyfat definately feels lower, will need to check soon to get a clear LBM gain.

Woo hoo!
Im back! It was a great trip, but I'm glad to be back in the gym. I decided to go ahead and take the day to get my maxes down so...
I got 405 on bench again, and really struggled with it so I didn't go up which made me kinda sad, but my deadlift has BLOWN up. I did 508 easily which is already 8lbs higher than my max 12 days ago, so I tried 558 and had it over half way up but my form slipped a little and I bowed my back so I dropped it. I think it is definately safe to assume a +30lbs to my deadlift if not more.
I went to squat, but didnt go over 405 because my lower back has a sharp pain in it now. Not enough to raise alarm, but enough to make me not want to go over 500 on squat.
:dl: :dl: :dl:

UPDATES:
As of day 12 I have dropped around 1% of bodyfat putting me at a total LBM gain of 3.7lbs, and a loss of around 2lbs of fat. Not too shabby. :bb3: I'm at the 193lb lbm mark, and my goal is to be at the 200 mark by the end of the cycle, which I mean is comepletely awesome, right?

Im feeling great in the gym and all that fun stuff, but I may be having an odd side-effect. Its somewhat like an anxiety attack, but not so severe. I'm just really nervous feeling like someone is about to run through my door with an uzi. Anyone ever experienced this? :lol: Its gone away now, but I would really rather it not come back.

i printed off that 4th Horseman of the Apocalypse workout thinking i might like to try it and it scared the SH!T out of me!

i may give it a go, but maybe only for a week or two. not sure if my body could handle it at this time.

just a word of caution....this high of intensity workouts may eat into some of the gains you might have recieved otherwise from this cycle.
but it also sounds like you have worked up to this type of training schedule. i'm looking forward to following this!
