Kaz's road to 230+, second cycle log

[Kazmir]

Well I have finally decided to go with the following

MY CYCLE
Orion T500 - 1500mgs per week
Orion Deca - 600mgs per week
Dbol - Blue Hearts - 40mgs per day for first 4 weeks

Pretty simple little bulk.

Will obviously be using the regulars as well, arimidex, caber, T4, gh and slin.
I'll reassess around week 12 to see where I am at and go from there as far as length or changing of compounds.

Down in weight now so my starting stats are

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 203lbs
BF%: ~16
Age: 40

My diet should be ready any day now from 3J and my training is on point. I'm going to try and document as much as I can about my training during this run to keep track of it all for myself.
Gonna be placing a lot of focus on legs, due to my back issues I was not able to train them as I would have liked and they are lagging a bit so they are my main concern. My back feels 1000% better so I am going to annihilate my legs.
This should be a fun time and looking forward to Monday to start the madness...

 

[Kazmir]

Woohoo let it begin.

First shot of my cycle today, 1.5cc of T500 and 1cc of Deca 300 (750mgs test / 300mgs deca) + 40mgs of dbol an hour pre workout.

Excellent. Will be starting my log shortly as well.

 

[snowpatrol123]

Awesome man I'll be following along, excited to see your "brogress"

How much GH are you running? How come T4, is it a deficiency, or a choice vs T3?

 

[Kazmir]

For some reason I find the T4 works better with the GH for myself at least. It gets rid of all the lethargy from the GH and and brings levels to normal from the down regulation when I bump the gh up to 8iu/day. Right now I am running 4iu but will be bumping it up once the rest of my kits get here. I run the T4 at 200mcg per day

Makes sense. I can't afford GH atm, let alone that much, but I definitely get lethargy from high-ish T3 doses (100-150mcg) so I'm interested by your experience with T4 to say the least.

 

[Kazmir]

Today was an off day so nothing to write home about , 30 min cardio session and a little bit of ab work.
On a side not I am alot less sore than expected from the T500, I mixed it with a CC of deca so that probably helped. Scale of 1 - 10 for PIP I would say at a 2 which is great for T500...

 

[Kazmir]

Another great day at the gym.

Again checked my ego at the door to concentrate on form and muscle actuation rather than weight.

[Kazmir]

Another rest day, 30 min cardio session and a little ab work. Nothing major. Light back cramping, more than likely from the dbol so gonna throw in some taurine to help with that

 

[Kazmir]

Another great day at the gym

Warmup: 3 x 12 reps with 30lbs

[smittiot]

Those work sets look killer. Not too much, as in overtraining, but got to be spent at end of each exercise. May have to give it a whirl.

Sitting at 205lbs on wake this morning. Still waiting for my creatine and a few other supplements to arrive before I can delve into my diet full force, the joys of small town country living.. everything is so far away.. Internet shopping is great but its still a week for delivery

 

[smittiot]

What do you mean by " gut rot?"

 

[snowpatrol123]

What do you mean by " gut rot?"

I would guess flatulence but now I'm curious too

 

[Kazmir]

Every time I take dbol I get gut rot.. kinda like your stomach feels the next day after a hard night of drinking, upset tummy, acid reflux, etc. it subsides after a few days for me usually, tums and increased water consumption here I come.

Kill it kaz
