Moving past blast and cruise....Next cycle questions

[ReddFoxx]

Adding quality mass
I've been blasting and cruising for a year now. I've been lifting heavy the whole time. I've been lifting for many years now and I've gained a lot of strength in the big three lifts, but now I want more. This will be my first cycle.

My blasts have been 600 mg test cyp for 12 weeks then back down to cruising at 120 mg per week. What can I add to my next planned blast to ensure some quality mass gains? I had a hard time dialing the test in to get my e2 levels in check, so I don't really want to tank my estrogen again if that's possible.

I plan to shift my lifting from 80-90% 1rm with 3-5 reps to more of a bodybuilding style program. Moderate weights in the 8-12 rep range.

There is so much info on this site, it's hard to determine what to do based on someone's else's situation. Any thoughts on what I can add will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm 43 years old. I'm 6'4" and weigh 260. I've done two blasts in the last year and cruised the rest of the time. I eat very low carb because sugar and carbs don't agree with my body. I tend to get fat if I eat carbs. Been there done that and years ago I cut all carbs out. I don't mind switching it up a bit diet wise but I can't go back to where I was years ago.

sugars and carbs dont agree with your body??? i gotta say brother i highly doubt that, but if you know your body do what you think is right..

260lbs, whats your current bodyfat?

 

[ReddFoxx]

I tend to gain weight easily when I eat carbs. Since being on low carb for the past several years, I've dropped the excess fat and done well lifting. I only have access to the calipers for bodyfat testing. My body fat level is approx 18%.

ok...

everything about your goals is going to be dictated by nutrition..

if youve been cruising and blasting for a year and are at 18 percent, you were either very overweight when you started or you let your nutrition slip..

have you considered educating yourself about the different philosophies of nutrition out there??

do you know your bmr,tdee?? have you been tracking your calories?

I was very overweight at one point. But I could move a crap ton of weight. My wife is a tiny fitness freak and convinced me to drop the fat. She's 5'4" and weighs 110 pounds. She lifts with me everyday and is a huge motivator for me. I went from 360 to 260 on a low carb diet and strength trainer and cardio 6 days per week. She is a great motivator.

And yes, I would consider introducing healthy carbs back in to my diet. I just need to learn more. My wife has been pushing that for a long time since I dropped the weight.

I eat approx 2400-2500 calories per day. Under 5% carbs, 70% fat and 25% protein. I am religious about tracking what I eat in myfitnesspal. I'm wiling to change to reach my goals.

It's been recommended that I try dbol, anavar, or anadrol as well as masteron or primo? What are your thoughts on these?

All great compounds, but I agree with what 3J said, your diet is the issue.

Remember: AAS is just the icing on the cake, it is NOT the be all and end all of success.

Your training needs to be of a high standard and your diet dialled in, accompanied by good sleep patterns for AAS to make any significant difference to your game.

I urge you to improve your dietary intake first and foremost before diving in to compounds for minimal gain.
