Getting Big the Ology Way
I would first like to thank all the members who have contributed to the board in general, and to all of those who have answered all the questions I have asked in my years of research on AAS.
With that said, I wanted to start a log of my first run with AAS. Now I wont be starting until mid-December but I intend to start IGF-DES next week and wanted to include that as part of my log.
Cycle is as planned:
Week 1-4: Dbol 40mg
Week 1-12: Test C 400mg
Week 1-14: Arimidex .25-.5 eod or as needed
Week 15-18: Clomid 50mg/Nolva 40/40/20/20.
Considering adding aromasin to post cycle therapy (pct) as well.
HCG - 500 iu/day for a 10 day blast starting the day after last injection
Other supplements include BCAAs, creatine, glutamine, multi, and fish oils
As I mentioned I am starting IGF-DES next week and that will overlap into my first week of the cycle. Assuming that goes well I intend to use it again in weeks 6-10 and possibly a DES/LR3 combo starting in week 16.
Stats and Bio
6'3'', 230-235lbs, 26 years old. BF is probably in the 12% range now that I stopped almost all cardio 2 months ago. At my heaviest I've been 250 but probably 15% or more bodyfat. Due to lack of diet I had a hard time keeping that weight and always tend to fall back around 225-235. Ill try to post some pics and measurements later on. The only ones I know off the top of my head are my arms which are 17.5 inches and my waist is 33.5 inches.
Ive been weight training seriously for a little over 5 years. Ive been involved in athletics and weight training since junior high. I played football and basketball in high school and even played basketball for a small college for a couple of years. That's when I started taking lifting more serious which ultimately destroyed my shot and the end of my basketball career.
Ive done numerous prohormone cycles in the past so Im not new to the idea of cycling and post cycling and the risks involved. I know what the onset of gyno feels like and Im fully prepared to fight it if need be. I havent had any problems with gyno issues since my very first cycle in which I new absolutely nothing about what I was doing. Ever since then I have always been more than ready with AIs and SERMs.
My trainig mostly consist of heavy compound lifts. Nothing fancy about what I usually do. Ive been on a 5x5 routine for the last few weeks and have been making good gains. I was cutting most of the summer and lost a lot of strength so Im finally getting back to where I was prior to the cut. Anyway, I plan on sticking with this 5x5 at least until I finish the dbol. After that i might look into a different routine.
Goals:
I dont really have a desired number of pounds I want to gain. Ill be happy with whatever I get. I know it depends on my diet so Im the master of my own destiny. I suppose Im leaning towards a lean bulk. I dont want a ton of fat to try to cut off but i know some is going to come. My ultimate long term goal is to be 250 at 8-10% bf.
Im hoping to add some good strength from this cycle. I consider myself pretty strong in most lifts but Im not a powerlifter by any means. PR in bench is 405 and at my best I was squatting around 500. My squat has tanked over the last year because I thought it would be cool to run a half marathon last spring. While it was a good experience, I stopped squatting entirely for about 3 months and ever since I started doing it again I get a terrible pain in my upper leg, even squatting down without weight. So doing squat has been very inconsistent the last few months but Im starting to get back into it. Ive never been a heavy deadlifter. I know ive done over 400 but I dont recall a PR. I dont do it consistantly enough to make great gains in it.
I log every workout in a notebook and plan to put that all into this log.
Diet:
Protein will be high and mostly comes from chicken, turkey, eggs, and a few shakes here and there if I cant get to real food. Fats come from PB, almonds, and I cook in evoo. Carbs come from oats, brown rice, ezekiel bread and waxy maize for the most part. I havent figured up all my cals yet and Im trying to incorporate more carbs since coming off my cut which on most days was around 150 grams of carbs. Ive kind of lost a craving for carbs so eating a lot of them is a struggle sometimes.
Ill try to put in a daily intake later on.
So I think I covered everything I wanted to touch on. Im open to all advice and criticism.
Thanks again everyone.
