Hello, all. I am planning to run an epistane / tr3 st bulking cycle and would appreciate some feedback.
Little background, I'm a 29 year old male. Started lifting many years ago, but had no idea what I was doing. Got some very good gains from being a newbie and eating like a horse but that's really it, I was weak, followed bs magazine workouts, and paid no attention to diet. had a decent first year, then struggled with consistency due to injuries and schedule conflicts, a recurring theme, unfortunately.
About 3 years ago I started to get serious. Began squatting and deadlifting for the first time, as well as a few other exercises like bent over barbell rows and barbell bench presses. Did it consistently for about a year or a bit more and got some good strength and muscle gains, before more injury and schedule issues happened.
My cycle history is brief. In about April of 2013 I ran 6 weeks of halodrol for a nice little recomp, lost fat and gained several pounds of kept muscle. Then in July of 2015 I ran 8 weeks of ostarine on a cut, seemed to help with strength and a bit of leaning out. scale weight stayed about the same but i looked a bit tighter.
I am recovering from some elbow and wrist issues right now that, combined with a godawful work schedule kept me out of the gym since the end of my osta run. Lifts are down right now because of that and me not wanting to push too hard too fast and re-injuring myself, but I believe in a couple weeks ill have them back up to what they were around my osta run. My work schedule is solid and will continue to be for the next several months, which I plan to take full advantage of with diet, training, and supplementation.
My lifts at their best, which was about 2 years ago, and before my last layoff, which i think i will be back to within a couple weeks:
Bench 275 x 5, 235 x 5
Incline Bench 225 x 10, 185 x 10
Squat 335 x 5, 240 x 5
Deadlift 395 x 5, 355 x 5
Bent row 255 x 5, 225 x 5
Seated dumbell overhead press 100 x 5-8 (can't recall exact number of reps), 75 x 12
Weighted chins 50 x 4-6, bodyweight x 6-10
so you can see there is a big dropoff and i really want to get back up
I haven't been able to bulk in a couple years because when you're laid off with injury or your work and school schedule make the gym take a back seat, you cant really be in a surplus. so it's time I got back to trying to build some damn muscle instead of just trying to not lose any.
So here is what I have:
180 epistane pills at 10 mg each
120 pills of OL tr3st 25 mg each
2 bottles arm1care
Sup3r PCT on the way
I plan to pick up exemestane for an a.i. and clomid for PCT
So I would just like some feedback on my planned cycle, please.
Preload with ar1micare for 2 weeks
epi 40 mg for 45 day
tr3st 75 for 40 days, starting day 5 of epi (only have 120 pills)
pct
clomid 50/50/25/25
Sup3r PCT
I was wondering about my on-cycle protection, especially for avoiding gyno. With the plan I have proposed, would it be best to have exemstane on hand to use as needed, or should I dose 25 mg eod from the beginning? With epi and tr3st should I automatically be using the gyno protection protocol of ralox 60 mg ed and exemestane 12.5 mg eod or would that be overkill to use unless symptoms developed? And should the exemestane be continued into PCT?
Thank you very much for reading and I appreciate any feedback. Feel free to ask more questions if some things were not clear. Thanks!
