Killn' The Cube: My powerlifting venture begins

Nice to see a young-ish guy planning a reasonable cycle, versus starting early with 750mg test, 500mg tren, some eq, and a couple orals. That shyt drives me insane.

You'll enjoy the smooth ride of 500mg test.

25g to inject, 18 to draw...

Agreed. Anything b/ 18 and 22 ga. works well to draw 200 mgs/ml. I like to inject the delts w/ 25 ga. 5/8", but an inch may be safer, to insure you pierce muscle.

Even if it doesn't hit muscle, it'll still absorb 100% within the body.
 
Hell yeah, thanks fella's. I'll get those 2 needle sizes.

Swanson, I don't see the point in starting that strong either, lol. I'm just looking for an extra boost. I don't see the point in adding 30lbs, just to lose it in pct. 6-8lbs post cycle is the amount of weight I'm shooting to add.
 
Yesterday deload:

Box squat below parallel:
225x2x3
275x1x3

Deadlift: 405x1x6

Front squat:
275x2x2
295x1 (feels exponentially better than my back squat)


Deload today:

15 min stair climber.

Heavy bag work: tweaked my hip while turning over on a hook. Fuark.

Abs

Mobility
 
I was just reading a guy advising people to start their first cycle at 250-300 / week.

I've never ran a cycle so I really don't know but i'm just agreeing with the above posters "less is more" mentality.

Worst case scenario you need more and bump it up..

For sure. But consistency is important for aromatase control. And if you are going to shoot fat, I would use a really small pin, 27 ga and shoot at belly pinch.

You do not want to do that with any oil. That will cause some significant irritation and possibly a sterile abscess in the area. A lot of aromatase activity takes place in the adipose tissue and injecting there could also increase said activity.

This would be my precise recommendation. But I am conservative and don't give all that much credence to the boasted theory that you only have one "first" cycle and the body will respond like it never will again. Phooey!

I'm very conservative about doses and think you should only increase once you've hit a huge plateau, but that kind of dose isn't much above TRT. It'll be an easy recovery post cycle, but almost too mild to get a lot outside of improved recovery and a libido boost.

I turn 24 in a month. Old as dirt.

Can't speak for the dirt in your part of the country, but 24 in my part doesn't equate to old. Lol

I think you can honestly give things more time before cycling test and learn to eat more calories to gain or the cycle really won't do anything permanent.

I know I haven't tapped my natural limit without a doubt. I know how to eat to gain, I just want to gain faster lol.

Honestly the only reason I want to run test is because I want to be capable of training harder and more often. I love training.

I'm with AZ, 24 is too young
 
I messed it up turning over on a left hook yesterday while I was hitting the heavy bag. It's worse than I previously thought. Matter of fact it's worse now than ever. Phucking blows, I was nearly at 100%.

I'm not going to squat Friday, I don't know what I'll be able to do honestly. Squatting, lunging, Bulgarian SS will be out of the question.
 
CincyKiller45 said:
I respect that. It's also not like I'm 18 and running some super harsh cycle. I feel this would be a lot better than running some PH.
Click to expand...

Yeah you're right in that regard.

I just know a few people who have been "on" for a long time and they regret starting in their twenties. They both said they'd rather have waited till their 30s... Just my .02 c

Jumping on ppl running test is annoying. It's like ppl who badger ppl about smoking. It's my choice, mind your own business. Nothing more annoying than someone saying " don't you know what that does??"

No enlighten me.. I have no idea

Ace isn't badgering me, lol. He's a knowledgable dude and has helped me a lot. I don't mind smart people providing their perspective.
 
Nah I'm not calling out anyone or anything. I'm just saying when ppl want to do something, let em.

Eh, IMO it's relative to what you're doing. If I wanted to run a gram of test and tren and other harsh stuff I would hope someone would say something. Or, if I wanted to smoke crack I would hope someone would beat me senseless, lol.

I think my point was misssed. Obviously if you were gonna do something crazy like that it's a different story entirely.

Big difference in deciding to do a cycle, and doing a crazy over board stupid run.

I see where you're coming from bro. Just making sure you're not going complete yolo on me, ha.
 
Deload (LOL):

Alright, my buddy was in town and he damn sure wasn't going to catch me on a half ass day. So, I deloadedish, but not really.

Bench:
275x1x2
285x1
295x1

Felt good, I'm really learning to explode the bar off my chest. I'm so much better at pausing than ever before. I have a fast eccentric, let the bar bury into my chest, stay tight and explode that phucker.

Pin press (1-2" off chest):
225x5x3

These were challenging which came as a surprise. I'm not very good at them. Guess what I'm doing more of?

OHP: 6x3- 135

Pull ups:
5x5 BW+25
1xAMAP- 13

Cable flies (rest pause): 25/10/6 (ouch)

Banded press downs: 30x3- average band

Preacher curl (rest pause): I forget, but it hurt

SGHP: 8x3- 155

Great day to be in the gym. Moto is high, got to get better.
 
Uh oh. Be on the lookout for a big bench! Found something to improve on, did we? That's big.
 
Today:

Heavy bag

Stair stepper

Ab wheel roll out: 10x3

Dragon flies: 12x3

Mobility

Weird, hip feels good today. One day I can't put my leg in my jeans, the next I'm fine.

Weight was 217. I'm happy with this as I've been incorporating a lil cardio and I'm trimming some excess fat. I can't wait to get on test. A guy today said I looked like a tank, test is going to be a whole new level of tankness.
 
Deload/DE

DL: 2x6- 325

Squat:
185x8x3

Oly squat:
135x12x2

GM:
185x8x2
205x8x2

Banded hamstring curl SS calves: 20/AMAPx3

Bulgarian SS: 8x3

Plank: 2 min 15 sec

Really good day. Tried a different squat stance and I'm going to keep rollin' with it. Awh yeah, smolov starts next week :)
