Augmented Hormone Replacement Therapy
The optimization of human physiological processes through the long-term artificial enhancement of their respective pathways - hormonal or other; anabolism is referenced as a critical marker. Contrasting standard TRT and HRT protocols, Augmented Hormone Replacement Therapy (AHRT) incorporates a variety of synthetic compounds not found in natural physiological environments or amounts. AHRT is a strategic approach in PED protocol development intended to achieve a maximum benefit [to performance, conditioning, and quality of life], while lowering overall drug usage and mitigating risk potential.
The Project
This "live" experiment in exogenous hormone modulation incorporates AHRT principles through a series of on-going refinements to PED, training, and nutrition protocols to best support my current needs; that is, to make the most of my body while simultaneously healing it. The purpose of undergoing this experiment is to challenge the current status quo - largely summarized as "more is better" - with "making the most from the least."
Admittedly, I'm a fan of blasting and wanting to get hyuge, but circumstances have circumvented that mentality for the moment. Being able to formulate new ideas, write about my experiences, and achieve new goals serves as mental relief while I face this forced "down time" away from being the commercial gym badass. Hopefully, this log can provide useful information and intrigue to others facing injury, or who simply wish to entertain conservative drug usage.
Currently, I am enduring a terribly sprained/injured elbow and forearm on my right side and very stiff left shoulder. There are good and bad days depending on training. Needless to say I need to apply a more aggressive approach to recovery. I have further tightened my diet, overhauled drugs, and wrote an entirely new training program for myself.
Training is something I have been reluctant to change, but begrudgingly recognize that I am spinning my wheels with getting my arm better by following traditional approaches. Instead, I have selected 4 primary movements from which I have developed 4 different workouts around. The chosen exercises are intended to maximize my training ROI while minimizing movements that piss my arm off. Additionally, I will follow a 1-day-on, 1-day-off style to help my arm heal, improve select movements and body parts, and maintain areas not able to be directly trained.
Despite trimming up my nutrition, weight has been staying pretty high. Again, I'm not upset by this, but am slightly baffled since my weight was getting close to 239 when my calories were close to 1k higher. My legs are definitely improving so that could be an explanation in part. I have another theory though which I will touch on after looking to see if this is an influencing variable. As of today, I near 250 lbs and have set a goal weight of 232 lbs to recomp around. This was initially to be achieved by December 1 based on a review of previous diet macros and weight fluctuations. However, since weight has held till this point, I approximate 4-6 weeks to be a reasonable time frame.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PED PROTOCOL
Drugs have been dramatically lowered and will use faster esters for daily injections. I had my own custom blend made specifically for AHRT Project called Thrive (1.0): Test Iso 75mg, 50mg Mast Prop, and Tren Ace 25mg, per 1ml. As discussed, this will maximize compound utilization and processing for greater benefit while minimizing side-effects.
I have omitted the use of AI's.
Growth Hormone application will be done on training days only. 5iu of Generic Sub-Q (2 hour peak of GH/IGF/Follistatin) right before fasted training and 5iu of Generic Intramuscularly (30 hour push of IGF, allegedly) immediately before bed, which will carry over to my recovery days.
T3/T4 dose has been halved. After reviewing potential effects hyperthyroidism could have on tendons, it seems that high levels can catabolize collagen and possibly hinder recovery.
Injectables:
Testosterone Isocaproate: 36.5mg ED
Masteron Propionate: 25mg ED
Tren Acetate: 12.5mg ED
Orals:
Anavar: 25mg
Proviron: 25mg
Growth/Peptides:
Generic: 5iu Sub-Q (morning/pre-workout) - training days
Generic: 5iu IM (evening/pre-bed) - training days
TB-500: 0.5mg daily
BPC-157: 0.5mg daily
Fat Loss/Composition:
T2: 600mcg
T3: 12.5mcg
T4: 50mcg
Ancillaries:
Tadalafil: 10mg EOD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NUTRITION/SCHEDULE/TIMING
Needing further discomfort in my life, I've tightened my diet by removing much of the excess macros; Recovery Days even more so:
- Training Day macros are approximately: 3400 cal / 322g protein / 311g carbs / 90g fat
- Recovery Day macros are approximately: 3080 cal / 308g protein / 245g carbs / 87g fat
*this excludes the use of No Sugar Added Ketchup and Cocoa (100%)
The current edits should suffice for the moment, but have areas to cut if needed.
I don't much deviate from my scheduled meals, but I am a fiend for MOTHERFUCKING BISON BURGERS. My dad usually makes these over the weekend when I go visit my parents. These will not be removed from my diet; however, they will be consumed responsibly and used as a meal substitute.
