I've spent alot of time over the past few months reading posts on this board to figure out how to go about cycling properly. I appreciate all the awesome info that everyone posts on here.
This is what I've figured out so far...
Body: 29 yrs, 170lb 18%bf
Diet: I've been keeping track of what I eat usually get pretty close to 3000 calories with a 45/30/25 protein/carb/fat (it varies) breakdown. I know the fat is kinda high, but thats generally from the poly/mono fats in salmon that I eat to offset my saturated fat intake. Other sources of protein are: chicken, beef, whey, milk. Primary carbs are: oatmeal, ramen, pizza (I love pizza). Primary veggie: green beans (I know.. I need to eat more veggies).
Workout: I've been lifting for about a month (3 days a week) to get the feel for weights back and find out what exercises work best for me. I'm also working with a personal trainer (1 day a week) help me with my form and be a consistent spotter. With each exercise I've been doing an 8 rep set for warmup with the goal of going 6 reps in the next set (forced reps if needed) with more weight. If I make 6 reps in the second set, then I'll do a third and try 6 more reps. I've been thinking about holding for a static contraction and adding negative reps.
here's my workout with current last set... (don't laugh, I know my legs are disproportionately stronger than my arms)
Monday
dumbbell chest flys 6x40
incline bench press 6x115
dumbbell lat raises 6x25
triceps pulldown 6x level 9
decline situps 40
Wednesday
leg extensions 6x170
barbell squats 6x235
lying leg curls 6x level 9
calf raises 6x220
Friday
wide grip pulldown 5x125
dumbbell rows 6x45
dumbbell preacher curls 6x25
incline leg raises 20
AAS/PCT:
Sust and HCG is split in half (Sun/Thurs)
Arimidex is every other day
Nolva is every day
W1: 750mg Sust, 1000 IU Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), 0.5mg Arimidex
W2-9: 500mg Sust, 1000 IU Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), 0.5mg Arimidex
W10: 250mg Sust, 1000 IU Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), 0.5mg Arimidex
W11: 1000 IU Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), 0.5 Arimidex
W12: 1000 IU Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), 40mg Nolva
W13: 20mg Nolva
W14: 20mg Nolva
W15: 20mg Nolva
W16: 10mg Nolva
W17: 10mg Nolva
W18: 5mg Nolva
Goals: One cycle. Bulk up.. then cut the fat off. I don't want to get huge, just close to what my genetic potential is. I've found that I really like the gym and enjoy working out and will continue to do so for the long term. My ideal look... Achilles.
After writing most of this post I realize now that I should probably have split this up into different forums with maybe 15 different threads for everything... but I thought posting this way would give a better total picture of what I've learned and what I'm trying to accomplish. I'd appreciate any general observations or comments on diet, workout, whatever... even if you're going to just rip on me. I'm new, but I'm here to learn and willing to listen to what you have to say.
Here are two of my BIG questions that I haven't been able to figure out:
1. Should I stay with the same workout schedule when on Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) or can I work the same muscle groups twice in a single week? Because of the enhanced anabolism going on... it shouldn't take a full week to repair the muscle fibers from each workout or does it?
2. I am totally confused about the whole HCG mixing thing and what I need to order. I'm ordering a vial of HCG (mixing needle included). What else do I need to order?? Another vial? What am I supposed to mix with it. Also, everything that I've read on here says subcutaneous shots but the info sheet says intramuscular. Where do I inject it?
