Hello Guys. I've been reading this forum and the website for many years pondering the use of anabolic steroids. I considered myself too young in the past to attempt steroid use. I would like to see a transformation in my physique that I consider to be significant so I decided to get on the juice. I don't believe I will ever do anything too strong (nothing other than just test-e) and will likely only do future cycles to gain a little bit more or to regain whatever is lost in case my training and diet depreciates. I've been bigger and strong before with the same body fat as I am now. My food comsumption and training volume decreased in volume for the last year and a half and I shrank about 10 pounds, but I remained healthy and lean. Here is the cycle I came up with + diet:
Age: 25
Height: 5'11''' (180cm)
Weight: 175 lbs
Bf: 10% (Some visibility on abs, veins on arms and shoulders, lean but muscular)
Goal: Maximize lean mass gain with minimal fat gain (Even at the cost of total mass gain). I could care less about gaining the most weight possible...
TDEE: ~17000 cal / week
Diet basics:
Macros (divided over 5 evenly-spaced meals):
Protein: 300g /day
Carbs: 200g /day (Bump to 300g sat and sun for refeed)
Fat: 50g/day
Calories: ~18000 cal / week
Training basics:
Mon: Upper body
Tues: Lower body
Wed: Rest
Thurs: Upper body
Fri: Lower body
160 reps total for larger muscle groups / week , divided over both workouts (Back, chest, hamstrings, quads)
80 reps total for smaller muscle groups / week , divided over both workouts (Abs, biceps, triceps, shoulders, calves)
Reps done to failure at range 8-12 (Explosive concentric, controlled eccentric)
Cycle:
Week 1-5:
250mg Test Enant 2x/w
1.25mg Finasteride 1x/d
0.25mg Arimidex 1x/eod
250iu HCG 2x/w
Week 6-10:
300mg Test Enant 2x/w
1.25mg Finasteride 1x/d
0.25mg Arimidex 1x/eod
250iu HCG 2x/w
Week 11:
200mg Test Enant 2x/w
1.25mg Finasteride 1x/d
0.25mg Arimidex 1x/eod
250iu HCG 2x/w
Week 12:
150mg Test Enant 2x/w
1.25mg Finasteride 1x/d
0.25mg Arimidex 1x/eod
250iu HCG 2x/w
Week 13 (lower shutdown/test ratio):
100mg Test Enant 2x/w
1.25mg Finasteride 1x/d
0.25mg Arimidex 1x/eod
25mg Clomid 1x/eod
Week 14 (higher shutdown/test ratio):
1.25mg Finasteride 1x/d
0.25mg Arimidex 1x/eod
50mg Clomid 1x/d
Week 15 (highest shutdown/test ratio):
1.25mg Finasteride
75mg Clomid 1x/d
Week 16-17 (lower shutdown/test ratio):
25mg Clomid 1x/d
Any thoughts and feedback will be appreciated. My major concerns:
-I'm being too conservative on calorie consumption. I've gained fat from bulking in the past and rather avoid that. My thought is that by adding enough amino acids and resistance training that protein synthesis will occur, specially with the increase feed efficiency of the steroids. I rather do multiple lean-bulking cycles in a year than a combination of bulking and cutting...
-I don't know if my PCT and tapering off of test is very good...
