So i have worked out about 5-6 years now pretty consistently. Only the last one has been real productive b/c i was diagnosed with low T at 20 yrs old and been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) 100 mg/wk for 9 months ish now. I am planning on running 500mg cypionate/wk with .5mg/wk of arimidex and having nolvadex on hand in case of gyno. The only problem i have with the cycle is my doctor, and making sure he doesnt realize i cycled cause he would flip out. My dr had me do a blood test and my level came back at 400 free t,which makes no sense, im not on and that is very high. So I have had mononucleosis the past 2 and a half weeks and have been unable to lift(god i hate this but maybe thats why my free t was so high) and lost a good bit of size. Does not lifting blast your levels up? i will say like 1.5 wks b4 the test i took 50 exta mg of test b/c i found out i had mono and didnt want to lose everything. So now I am worried hes is going to monitor my blood work more carefully. I really didnt expect this to happen. Before mono, I was 6'2, 203 and cutting prob 13-14 bf.
strength before mono was:
squated 295-3setsx5 reps
DL 360-8 reps
chest parallel bar dips Bw+80-4 setsx 8reps
tricep parralell bar dips BW+50-3 setsx10 reps
machine row 220-3setsx10 reps
pullups BW-15,12,10
I had shoulder surgery 2.5 yrs ago b/c my shoulder wasnt formed right. it dislocated posteriorly twice. Now i cant do presses above my head(ie overhead presses) or perpendicular to my body(ie bench presses) etc. do my main pressing exercises have to be dips. I was following a Lyle McDonalds Generic Bulking Routine more or less with what i could do. My goals after this cycle are to ~220 lbs about 12%Bf. I will post progress pics every month and a beginning pic as well. i will be following the same routine as before unless some1 else can convince me otherwise. That is, a upper lower split 4 days per week Tues, Thrus, Sat, Sun. I will post workouts and weights online atleast weekly.
Upper day:
chest dips 4x8
mach row 3x10
tri dips 3x10
pullups 3x10
front raise 2xmax
side raise 2xmax
bi curl 1xmax
lower body:
squat either 5x5 or 3x5
DL 1x8
LP 2x12
bar shrugs 2x12
I am at college so i will have access to unlimited dining hall access. main protein sources:eggs,turkey,ham,cottage cheese,whey protein, whatever is in the line(sometimes beef or chicken). main carb sources oatmeal, wheat bread, fruit, sometimes brown rice or sweet potato. have access to peanut butter as well as animal proteins and fats and unlimited salad bar. Any advice guys, thanks.
