Epic Pulse Cycle of Epidrol

The deal: starting Monday will be my first cycle, and I'm excited to be able to log this for myself and other uses. Decided on Epidrol due to it's mild shutdown and mild side effects if any. The cycle length will be 6 weeks in duration, with a shortening of cycle pending due to results and sides.

Name:Craig
Age: 27
Years Training: 7 (5 seriously)
Goals for this cycle: Bulk up, pretty much gain as much lean body mass as possible.
Training schedule: Since this is a pulse I will be doing a Monday/Wednesday/Friday workout.

Routine:
Monday: Chest and Back, abs, Calves
Wednesday: Shoulders and Arms, Abs
Friday: Legs, Calves, Abs

Supplements:

During cycle:
Epidrol (obviously)
Post cycle Support (Taken on off days to help minimize suppression)
Cycle support (chocolate)
Life support (pill version of above)
Taurine Powder (100 gm)
Adam (60 tabs)
Poseidon (450 grams)
Trisorbagen (90 caps)
Liv.52 (Liver Care) (90 tabs)
L-Leucine (500 grams)
Bulk Bcaa (250 grams)

PCT
Post cycle Support
Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) (60 caps)
ZMA (180 caps)
6oxo (Trione - 90caps)

Diet: Will try keep calories about 3500 - 4000 per day. Will be keeping protein through natural sources high, as well as Low GI carbs, and dirty low GI when I'm in a hurry or need extra calories. will keep fat intake moderate as well.

Rep ranges: Will be doing 3 exercises per body group, with 8-12 reps per set, going as heavy as I can really!

Log layout will look like this to rate supplement:

Strength:
Bodyweight/Body Comp:
Pumps/Vascularity:
Endurance:
Aggression:
Focus:
Libido:
Muscle Density/Hardening:
Overall Energy:
Personal Commentary:

Epidrol Dosing for Pulse:
(may pump to 40 depending on results)
wk 1 10-20-30
wk 2 30-30-30
wk 3 30-30-30
wk 4 30-30-30
wk 5 30-30-30
wk 6 30-30-30

PCT Dosing:
Weeks 1-4:
Post Cycle Support- 2 servings a day
I3C- 3 caps/2 caps/1 cap/1 cap
ZMA- 3 caps a day

Weeks 4-7:
6oxo- 300/200/100

I'd like to thank dmangiarelli and evolution for their willingness to help me plan this, especially dmangiarelli for helping me with my OTC PCT.

I have access to a SERM if things really take a turn for the worse.

Hope you enjoy the log, and I will try keep it as detailed as possible. Starts 2 days from today. Enjoy

Update:

started taking my Liv52 3 days ago, and two servings per day, a little late for a pre-load, but thought it might be helpful, also have started loading b-5 at 8-10grams per day to help fend off any outbreaks.

Really excited for this cycle, tomorrow I will weigh in before I take my dosage, and report back with my pre-cycle weight.

Also I have just had my body fat and girth measurements taken as of today, so they are as up to date as they can get, and they were done thoroughly by a lecturer at my university, so as far as accuracy goes, this is as good as it gets for free.

I will repost the details below:

Day 1 (10mgs Epidrol and 1 Trisorbagen)
Taken with food 40 min pre workout.

Shoulders and Arms:

Strength:normal/ up slightly
Bodyweight/Body Comp:normal
Pumps/Vascularity:Huge
Endurance:up slightly
Aggression:normal
Focus:up
Libido:normal
Muscle Density/Hardening:normal
Overall Energy:up slightly
Personal Commentary:Well due to how excited I was, some of the results may be placebo. Main thing I noticed was a increase in energy, half way through my workout I still felt eager to do more. May have been placebo. I noticed as well a huge increase in pump, may be due to the increase in water I am having due to being on orals, but every exercise I did, right from the get go, got me pumped! This was one of the most extreme pumps I've had, hope this continues.
