Ruckin's test+dbol blast

Hi everyone, I've been really shitty with getting on this awesome site lately so I figured I'd log my new blast on here to get myself back on more often. And just to contribute to the community of course.

The gear plan is pretty simple, just 500 mg test cyp EW for ~12 weeks with a kickstart of 25 mg dbol ED for the first month.

Training: also pretty simple. I've been doing 5/3/1 (or my own slight variations of it, still following the basic principles of the program) for a few months now and I really like it. I've been slowly gaining strength despite cruising on 150 mg/wk for months now, so I'm excited to see how much strength I can gain while blasting a little more gear.

Diet: I've been pussyfooting around with "trying" to cut weight forever and I'm tired of lying to myself and always fucking up on the weekends. So for at least the next month I'll be participating in SOBER OCTOBER (which is a good idea since I'm on an oral anyway lol) and eating only meat and veggies. Not sure how noticable the fat loss will be with all the water retention I'm expecting from the dbol, but I think once I come off and lose the extra water I'll be happier with how I look. I'd like my weight to be under 220 by the end of this year without losing any strength (currently weighing around 245). On the contrary, I'm planning to gain at least a little strength. Drinking and subsequently gorging on food on the weekends has been my biggest vice (my bro @CaterpillarTom can attest to this LOL), so I'm really excited to see how I do without alcohol for a month.

I should mention that I also run quite a bit and also train martial arts (BJJ) so I'm getting in a good amount of cardio, which unfortunately will hinder the strength gains some.

I started the blast on Tuesday 9/29 so I'll post my training for this week up through yesterday below:

9/29:
press+squat day (last day of deload week)
Press 95x5x3
Squat 225x5x3
Dead hang chins BWx3x3

9/30: conditioning at rugby practice
 
10/1: bench day
Weighted paused push ups (no bench in home gym yet. Putting a plate on my back) bodyweight+45x15,15,16
Dead hang chin ups 249(bodyweight)x7,7,8
Press 95x10x3
Rear delt rows (middle finger on ring, elbows flared) 110x20x3

Also did a light 5 miles of jogging 3/4 and walking 1/4 of each mile. 10 minutes of stretching.

Diet today:
Breakfast: 7 eggs with 12 oz spinach
Lunch: grilled chicken breast and broccoli
Dinner: 1/2 lb grilled hamburger with green beans

How's life these days?
Life's been beautiful brother. I started a new career earlier this year, so that's been fun. It's good to be back and see you and the others and get caught back up on your log

Nice to see you around Ruck. Looking forward to your log. Get er done.
Thank you brother, glad to have you here and following along
 
Friday 10/2
Training
deadlift day
Deadlift 385x10
Squat 225x10x1
Plate shrugs 45sx35x3
Situps (holding plate behind head) BW+35x18,18,19

Also went for a 3-4 mile mountain hike.

Diet
Breakfast: grilled chicken breast, 12 oz spinach, 1 apple... I cheated with the apple =\
Lunch: grilled chicken breast and broccoli
Dinner: 15 smoked wings. I also cheated and ate a brownie (regular brownie, not a special brownie lol) my buddy told me to try when I was over his place earlier. Probably 300 calories but it was possibly the best brownie I've ever had, so not the end of the world.

Subbed. Looks like a solid plan.

subbed and good to see you back

New guy subbed. Good luck brother!

Thanks fellers, good to have yall here.
 
I fukked up late last night and cheated with a couple more brownies, a handful of nut/granola and protein bars, and a couple big spoonfuls of peanut butter. Not the worst binge ever but I'm sure I eliminated any calorie deficit I had for the day. Feel free to talk shit, I deserve it.

10/3
Rest day today, no training

Diet
Breakfast: cobb salad
Lunch: 5-6 oz of beef jerky
Dinner: 4 slices of pizza, couple handfuls of mixed nuts, ~12 oz of mixed veggies and a glass of dry red wine and two light beers.

I've been out of town staying at a friend's house this weekend and was at a graduation party all afternoon/evening/night, so not exactly a ton of choices for healthy dinner options. I could've done a little better but given the circumstances I'm not upset with how I ate. I had a blast too, so I'd say it was worth missing a day or two of ideal dieting. Going on a nice long hike tomorrow (Sunday) and then lifting in the evening, so I'm excited to get back to work on my physical goals after the break (cheating) today.
 
Cheated by eating an apple and a brownie! Lol.

Go get you some Ruck!

Lmao yeah I know calling an apple "cheating" sounds/is stupid, but I told myself I'm only eating meat and veggies this whole month so technically it's not on my current "allowed foods" list. Lol

Just embrace it and smash pizza on the regular. Lifts will skyrocket.
Man back when I was at my strongest, which was around the time when we all did that meet together, I was eating a whole XL pizza just for dinner every other night on average LOL. I'm supposed to be cutting weight right now though, so the pizza needs to wait a few weeks. I'm glad I restrained myself to just 4 small slices though. Could've been MUCH worse.

Good to see you back around here my friend. Life and things are well?
Thanks brother it's good to be back. I forgot how much I love this site. Life and things are wonderful, I'm alive and healthy, can't complain about a thing. Do you have a log going on here somewhere? I was looking around and didn't see any started by you. I could've missed it though
 
just seeing this - pretty stoked to see the progress! so many brownies :eek:
Dude those brownies were probably the best I've ever had. I wish I didn't give in to them but jeez they were so good I almost wish I had eaten more while I had the chance lol

Have you considered doing a natty/pre-first cycle log on here? I think that would be cool to share your progress getting strong enough to feel like you're ready for your first cycle.
