Hello,
it's time to get back on track.

It's been 2.5 years since my last cycle. Lot have happened since then - long story short, I have lost ALL my gains. At my best I was lean 181lbs doing sets with 265lbs at bench press, 420lbs at squat and 510lbs at deadlift.

I did do a short 2 month training period without performance enhancing drugs and it went prett well, thanks to muscle memory. So my expectations are high.

There is one thing slowing me down though - I broke my rib few weeks ago and it's not completely healed. That's why I'll start this log NOW and the actual cycle starts in about two weeks when my AI's and SERM's arrive.

Diet:
- 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight
- .4 grams of fat per pound of bodyweight
- Enough carbs to gain +25lbs during next 2-3 months. I'll get leaner too.

Training cycle will be 2 weeks:

Week 1:
- Full body training session, 1 exercise per muscle group
- Upper body training session, 2 exercises per muscle group
- Lower body training session, 2 exercises per muscle group

Week 2:
- Chest and arms, 3 exercises per muscle group
- Quads, 3 exercises per muscle group
- Back and delts, 3 exercises per muscle group
- Hams, 3 exercises per muscle group

And the cycle will be this sweet 8 weeker:
- Epi 30/40/50/50/50/50
- TR3ST 100/100/100/100/100/100/125/125
- Test P 30mg EOD weeks 1-6, 40mg EOD weeks 7-8

On-cycle AI will be transdermal formestane (1 pump in the morning) and Arimidex if needed.

PCT will be
- Nolva 20/20/10/10
- Clomid 25/25/12.5/12.5
- Arimidex
- And a natural test booster, any suggestions? Been out of the gane for too long, lol.

Haven't done a single workout after I brike my rib but now I'm just about to go to the gym. I'll log everything honestly - starting weights will be pathetic but if everything goes like I planned, they're going to skyrocket.

I'll post before pics today too. I hope it's going to be quite a transformation.

Who's following?
 
Im in. I feel your pain. Took a year off of training from breaking my heel/ankle. My diet was beer and pain killers for the first few months then beer and fast food for another few months once i could walk again. For some reason i maintained weight but my legs shriveled up and my gut exploded. Been training natty for some muscle memory n fat loss till i feel ready to hop back on again. Any way, sorry for the rant lol, im following

Question, is the trest transdermal?

No. I've used both and I like the TD but I have a wife and a son do don't want to risk it.

I just did the full body session:

- Bench press, 3 sets of 6-8 @ 135lbs
- Neutral grip pull ups, 3 sets of 7-8 @ bodyweight
- Deadlift, 6 sets of 5 @ 90-200lbs
- Squat, 3 sets of 8 @ 45-90lbs
- 3 triple sets of 12: DB hammer curls (18's), cable pushdowns with rope (90lbs) and side lateral machine (55lbs)

Felt awkward. I was weak and didn't dare to add weights on DL's and squats due to the rib injury but next time I'll do heavier.

Gear: nothing yet

Day 9

Morning weight: 172.4lbs (+14.5lbs, using different scale so it's not comparable)

Gear:
40mg epi
100mg trest
30mg test P EOD

We are visiting my parents so weight is not comparable. Feels good seing those numbers though ☺ Gonna step on my own scale on Monday so we'll see how my weight reacts to this weekend.

I've been following my "eat all you can see" -diet very strictly.

Quads today, gonna try some heavier squats!
 
Quad session:

- Squat
2 sets of 4-5 @ 220-245lbs

- Front squat
3 sets of 11-12 @ 155-180lbs

- Leg extension
5 sets of 12 @ 45lbs

Back pumps were worse. Can't do ****. Gotta limit squat variations to one working set too and focus 100% to it.

Hamstring days will be like this from now on:

DL 1 set of 5
SLDL 1 set of 8
Leg curl 4 sets of 12

And quad days:
Squat 1 set of 5
Front squat 1 set of 12
Leg extension 4 sets of 12

Legs will grow if I can add weights. And I will be able to add weights. I must add weights.
 
If your only gonna do 1 set per leg exercise id suggest hittin legs 3x week. I used to get good results doing it m/w/f
