Welcome
This log will chronicle my experience with Dimethandrostenol, a relatively new designer compound released under the name “Mithras” by Iron Legion. It will be stacked with Epistane and Trenavar.
Having recently embraced raw powerlifting, the tone and tact of this log will be somewhat different than my previous pursuits. A year of structured powerlifting training awaits me before I can consider myself fit for competition. Ideally, I would like to compete in the 181 weight class, hopefully within the local USPA outlet.
Of course, my bodybuilding history precludes me from wanting to enter that weight class via the quick-and-easy dirty bulk. Unfortunately, my transition into a powerlifting orientation (I suppose it could be called power-building) amidst life’s other exigencies (finishing university and moving back home, principally) has left me in my current state: stronger than ever (with proper form), heavier than ever, but with perhaps the most bodyfat I’ve ever carried before (I’d estimate myself to be around 15-16% at the moment, though perhaps I am more strident in my self-criticism).
Thus, the goal of this run is not an arbitrary weight gain or strength benchmark, rather it is to improve my body composition in a way concomitant and conducive to competitive strength and conditioning as a (hopeful) raw powerlifter. If I can emerge from this run (i.e. post-PCT) as a lean (~13%) 175lbs or greater, I will be set to devote the full force of my attention to powerlifting.
Cycle Blueprint
Mithras: 25/25/25/25/0/0
Epistane:0/0/40/40/40/40/40
Trenavar: 0/0/90/90/90/90/90
Ancillaries (run at bottle-recommended dose):
AL Aegis
AL Achilles
BLR Formeron
BLR Prolactrone
All PH/Ancillary doses are subject to change in light of sides, gains, health concerns, etc.
PCT Blueprint
Clomid: 50/50/25/25/25
Nolva: 20/20/10/10/10
Exemestane: Dosed as necessary, 12.5 to 25mg EOD
I will also include DAA and, if money allows, ArA.
Diet and Training
In light of my strength concerns, my diet will be kept at slightly above maintenance calories and will be clean to the best of my abilities. My current physique is not the product of dirty bulking, but simply of consuming too many calories per diem. I will manipulate my carb intake somewhat but—above all—lean massing is the goal for this run (and maintaining strength gains, of course).
My training will be roughly based on Wendler’s “5/3/1 for Powerlifting” template, but with modifications to accommodate more volume and working sets in light of the anabolic assistance.
Gratitude
This log may differ somewhat from my previous logs, particularly as I find myself trying to be less long-winded with my posts (excluding this introduction, of course). Updates will be short and to the point, but tracking my caloric intake and weight movements will be par the course.
I’d like to extend my thanks at the outset to all who are following, and particularly to Iron Legion for taking the initiative in bringing new compounds to the market. This is not a sponsored log, but it may be said that I am a Legion fanboy to the core. My experience with Triumphalis was the most enjoyable cycle I’ve run to date, and if all goes well here I look forward to stacking Triumphalis with perhaps Legio-X (Norethandriol) somewhere down the line, perhaps once I get further into the world of powerlifting.
