Hey Guys!
Stoked to be doing this log.
About me -
Age: 31
Weight: 212
Height: 6'1"
BF: 12.5%
History -
I've been training since high school on and off, but got serious about it 5 years ago.
I've used Ostarine and Laxogenin products in the past with mixed results. I have to stay within the parameters of the natty lifestyle due to my career so my options are fairly limited. I just finished a cycle with BlackStone Labs Anogenin a couple of weeks ago, and I'll be sticking to just the staples and CistaFUSE for this log.
Staples -
Multivitamin
Fish Oil
D3
The only other supp I'll be taking is CistaFUSE; Olympus Labs new Cistanche Deserticola product. I've been lucky enough to be selected as a beta tester and I'm hoping to add it at the start of week 2. This should provide a great contrast for comparison after having a couple of weeks to establish a control.
Diet -
BMR: 2,105 kcal
TDEE: 3,262 kcal
Rest Day Cals: 3,000-3,500 kcal
Training Day Cals: 3,500-4,000 kcal
Training Day Macros: P224g C566g F84g (I double the fat and half the carbs for rest days, protein stays the same)
Objective -
My goal is to bulk while staying as lean as possible. Kind of a Recomp+
You know...add 25lbs of LBM and lose 7%BF in 4 weeks. lol Oh wait...I may have forgot my magic lamp.
Depending on the training cycle I'm typically able to add 3-4 pounds of LBM in an 8 week cycle, so anything above that is icing. I personally like to keep the calorie ranges fairly liberal and listen to my body. Keeps things fresh for me and definitely increases the sustainability factor.
Water -
1+ gallons /day
Training -
The last 8 weeks have been dedicated to a hybrid Power/Athletic program varying between 4-12 reps in pyramid/reverse-pyramid fashion. Emphasis was on compound movements and power lifts. I got good results in both size and strength departments. I'm gearing up for the spring rugby season so focus is switching to hypertrophy for the next 8 weeks, then back to power before a big cut pre-April.
I'm currently 2 days into my 8 weeks of HST.

CLICK HERE for a link to my daily training log. If there's anything additional you would like to see tracked please let me know and I'll be sure to add it. I'll be making posts in this thread from time to time as well including mostly subjective feedback about things I notice with CistaFUSE and how I'm feeling going forward.
I expect it will be a couple weeks before seeing any quantitative results, but I'm excited to get things going.
I'll update as soon as the Cista shows up at my door!
