First Time Blast & Cruise

[Sernafied]

Current stats:
30 5'11 180 10% +/- 6% (3 site skin fold w/calipers)
~250G Protein
~500G Carbs (longs in the morning, quicks before gym & right after)
Fats in moderation, little to no saturated/trans (Need to log better, will upon commencement of cycle)

Background: Athletic my whole life, had another kid and a knee surgery, got skinnyfat (185/~25%). Resumed heavy workout regimen. Began with 10m treadmill 5x week. Resistance 5x week. Used broscience and google, youtube, bodybuilding sites/channels/blah blah blah. Initial workout regimen produced results as you would predict. Some progress, hard plateaus, minimal fat loss. I got frustrated with lack of results and being overwhelmed by information from people who all "knew how to do it", but all said different things.Ordered cirriculum, became CPFT.

Wife, children, bosses, coworkers, and myself all agreed that I was a bit of a temperamental asshole, wife pissed because I wasn't banging her the way I used to, depression, etc. Talked to doc, ran bloods, low T. free test was 358. He put me on TRT, continuous dosage pellets.

Pellets are supposed to last 4-6 months, body uses as needed. I went through mine in a little over 3 months. Also the best fucking decision of my life. Felt like a teenager again. Boning wife senseless, libido out of control, temperament stable, joy back in my life, can put a sentence together again. gym gains were crazy good. Broke plateaus, gained confidence, essentially got my mojo back. I felt like the TRT was just the tip of the iceberg as to what was possible with test and similar.

Over course of first TRT pellet "cycle" (14 weeks):

Added 60 pounds to squat
30 pounds to flat bench
60 pounds to quad extension
25 pounds to dumb curls
15 pounds to dumb skull crushers
30 pounds to single-arm cable pressdown

All gains listed are additions to working weight during hypertrophy training.

Also cut ~15% BF while adding to lean mass

Here's what I'm starting:

Re-up on pellets with higher dosage (+200mg)
300mg / wk deca for 10 weeks
+150mg / wk test for 12 weeks
shift to strength regimen
cardio as necessary
cruise on TRT after cycle, re-up on pellets as necessary
Have clomid on hand, but PCT may not be essential as body doesn't produce enough test as it is, and TRT shuts down natural production anyways.

+200G protein (whey, soy, eggs, multiple meat sources)
+carbs as necessary

Any thoughts, tips, or concerns?

First pin last night. 300 deca / 150 test p left vast. lat..

Back & Biceps yesterday:

All exercises are 3X6 @ 85% 1RM except trap exercises (shrugs & trap. pull), which are 3X15 and 3x10 @ 75%

Lat Pulldown
Bent-over row
One arm dumb row
Dumb Shrugs (will probably switch to bar shrugs to better target upper trap. rather than lev. scap.)
Trap. pull
Concentration curl
Barbell curl
Cable curl & hold

I was absolutely NOT prepared for the PIP. Light massaging helped. It's better this morning.

Diet was good yesterday and last night. couple of shakes, bar, shitload of water, apple right after workout, chicken, rice & veggies in appropriate portions, another shake before bed.
Diet is solid so far this morning
Eggs & oats

Chest, shoulders, triceps tonight.

Did you get blood work on the pellets and what was your Total T? I have the pellets also and they lasted 6.5 months was I was hitting the weights hard plus 60 min. treadmill jogs

Yessir, bloods 4 weeks after pellet insertion revealed test @ ~1130.

PIP still present in left vast. lat. All the way down to the tendon of insertion. Tender to the touch, static tension irritates it, however concentric loading seems to alleviate some of the pain.

Diet yesterday and last night was solid. More oats, more shakes, modest portion of bread, peanut butter, some marshmallow spread because I'm an undisciplined fuck. Beef, a tortilla, more beef, veggies. Total caloric intake yesterday was ~5000.

Last night session:
Chest, Shoulders, Triceps

Flat bench
30% Incline dumb press
cable fly
Horizontally abducted dumb shoulder press
Lateral raise (cables to modify line-of-pull and focus on delts rather than posterior cuff)
Single arm neutral grip cable pressdown
Seated single arm overhead triceps press
Single arm supinated grip cable pressdown
Finished off with some moderate single arm machine fly (to address almost unnoticable bilateral size imbalance in pec. major)

Tonight is legs & core.

My weekly gym schedule is:
day 1: Upper body push (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps)
day 2: Legs & Core
day 3: Upper body pull (Back, Biceps)
day 4: Upper body push
day 5: Legs & Core
day 6: Upper body pull
day 7: Rest

I'll post again tomorrow so as to document all 3 workouts. Then posting will come as necessary or in response to replies.

thanks for checking in!
