What's up, y'all? This is my first log and I am super excited. Unfortunately, I am almost in to the 10th week of my cycle but its a long one at 24 weeks and I hope the best is yet to come. I can't wait to get all of your feedback, tips, criticisms, etc. on the cycle and the progress I make.
I am 30 years old, 5'7", ~200 lbs. upon waking at approx 19% BF prior to the cycle (I took an electrical impedence measurement on a supposedly "high-quality" BIA scale and added 3% to its calculation since they are typically 2 - 4% less than your true BF %).
I am on a slow cut with the aim of maintaining as much muscle and strength as possible while reducing total weight by about 25 lbs. into the mid-170s, and BF% to approx 10%. If I achieve my goal, approximately 80-85% of my weight loss will be fat, which I believe to be just within the realm of possibilities with the assistance of AAS.
I have been training pretty seriously for about 10 years, with a few extended breaks of 1-4 months sprinkled in here and there (I could make excuses why but they would be just that - excuses), and was natural until just under 3 years ago. When I was natural, my peak shape was 157lbs very lean and my biggest was 175 lbs. not so lean lol. Being natural is tough, especially if you are trying to gain muscle haha. Now, I hope to be 175 and as, if not more, shredded then I was at 157 natural by the end of this cycle.
My first cycle was a simple 375mg per week of Sustanon for 10 weeks and I followed that up with a second cycle at 500mg Sustanon for 12 weeks. My third cycle, I moved the Sustanon back down to 375mg but added EQ at 400mg and ran this for 16 weeks. My fourth cycle was Sustanon at 250mg, Deca at 500mg, and Primo at 400mg for 12 weeks. That cycle was the tits and by far my most successful. I got a little too fat and watery but the muscular gains were tremendous and I am hoping they are fully exposed by the end of this cycle. I have pretty much met all of my cycle goals thus far and have yet to experience the more bothersome sides like gyno, severe acne (I get zits but don't get full blown breakouts like others), balding, extremely high BP, etc. so I am hoping for the same on this cycle. And that brings us to now:
I am running 625mg Sustanon for 24 weeks. I pin 1.25cc every Sunday and Thursday. Beginning on week 11 (first day is July 29th) I will add 50mg of TBol daily for 7 weeks as well as 450mg EQ for the final 14 weeks. I will be adding .75cc of EQ into my Sunday and Thursday shots of Sustanon for this. All gear is from SAS labs.
My diet is good, keeping calories as high as I can while still ensuring that I am losing at least .5 lb per week. I am essentially using a carb and calorie cycling method with 4 low days per week at about 1800 cals and about 50 grams carbs, 2 med days at about 2200 cals and about 150 grams carbs, and 1 high day at about 2600 cals and 300 grams carbs and will go Keto (without a "refeed" - god I hate that word) for the final 4 weeks to hopefully strip away the last of the fat I want to get rid of. I keep my protein at about 200 grams per day and let fats take the rest of the calories.
My training is sort of a blend of Starting Strength and basic hypertrophy training. I lift 4 x per week, 2 of those are strength sessions (1 day is squat, bench, dead and the other is squat, overhead press, dead) and the other 2 sessions are hypertrophy oriented (chest, back and arms one day and shoulders and legs the other). I also use my chest day as a 2nd opportunity to get in a heavy bench so I usually work up to either 3x5 or 5x3 to start that workout. Also, I do brisk walks for my cardio basically everyday. Sometimes this is in the form of 1 solid 45 min to an hour walk or broken up into 2, 3, or even 4 shorter walks.
Finally, after 9 weeks, I can say things are going well. I have actually increased my strength on my big lifts, lost about 10lbs thus far, and, most importantly, am looking better naked lol. I also feel and look as if no muscle has been lost at all, but then again you always look bigger when you are leaner. I have suffered some pimples here and there and water retention that I have staved off mostly with Adex .5mg 2-3x per week and good diet with appropriate water and sodium intake so I am doing well in terms of sides. Also, I have
I think that pretty much covers it! Also, please be sure to check out my pre cycle bloods in the notepad I attached below...I will be getting bloods done again in the beginning of the 16th week to see what they look like while all 3 compounds are peaking. That should be pretty interesting lol. Other than that, I am looking forward to hearing everybody's input, feedback, criticism, advice, suggestions, experiences, etc.
Thanks
