Hybrid Athlete HRT Log

[PaintDrinker]

Hello everyone, I’m glad to be here and I’m a newer member. Over these last two years I lost a significant amount of weight, and starting training again daily. I lost about 40 pounds of fat and put on close to 20 pounds of muscle.

I’m cruising on 120 test/100 mast until June. This log will consist of my weight training, distance running, and diet.

My stats: 6’2, 220 pounds, 29 years old. I’m currently eating at maintenance, roughly 3200 calories but on run days maintenance can be up to 4200 calories. My goals are to bring my strength up, although I put on a lot of muscle, I’m not very strong. I also want to be able to consistently run 10+ miles with ease.

I already have a thread on my transformation but for anyone that might have missed it, here is what I did in 22 months.


Todays lift: Chest & Triceps

Flat Bench:

135x20
185x20
225x10
225x9
225x7
225x4
205x10
205x8

DB Press:
75x15
75x13
75x11
85x7
85x4

EZBAR Skull Crushers:
60x12
60x12
70x8
70x6

My food for the day has been 2 cups of white rice blended with 2 scoops of why isolate x3. 6 cups of rice, 6 scoops of protein total. I drink most of my meals.

I’m a little softer than when on cycle, but I’ll post a physique update every week or two.

cool log I will be following it. A few questions..

What's the time frame between the two photos you posted?

What strategies do you contribute towards your weight loss? Calorie deficit? training? fat burners? PEDs?

You a nick bare fan? I've been watching some of video's on YT. He's a beast.

What PEDS do you feel help with your recovery regarding running?

You drink most of your meals!? does that digest well for you? Rice and whey in a blender with water I'm assuming.

Since covid I've become an avid runner, I'm going to do my first half marathon come May. I still love to weight train though.

Great transformation! Sorry for all the questions!

 

[PaintDrinker]

@demon first off I love all the questions and I’ll try to answer them all thoroughly.

Time frame between photos 22 months, 236 on the left, 220 on the right. I’m a firm believer that running will keep you lean, and your heart healthy. I believe running and resistance training + PED’s is the perfect way to achieve the look that I’m after. I take 25-37.5 mics or t3 year round. I also use Cardarine in fat loss phases. My first cycle I didn’t count a single calorie, I just stopped eating only fast food. I could easily eat 7-8 McDoubles per day, 12 packs of tacos from Taco Bell and a ton of pizza that’s basically all I ate. I switched to a very strange but clean diet. Basically made everything into shakes. Rice and protein shakes, meat shakes ground beef and rice. Top sirloin I would eat regularly, but I preferred to drink every meal. Also blended a lot of spinach and blueberries.

I was also drinking every day up to a liter of tequila. I stopped drinking for two months before my first blast and starting running and lifting everyday. It was hell but I pushed through it. The worst psychological pain I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. Everything hurt all the time.

First cycle was as follows

Week 1-6: 500 test

Week 6-10:500 test 300 mast

Week 10-16: 650 test 450 mast

Second cycle as follows:

Week 1-6: 600 test 400 mast

Week 6-11: 650 test 500 mast

Week 11-16: 650 test 500 mast 40var/10tbol

(Novorapid as needed with high carb meals)

As for Nick Bare I absolutely fucking love the guy, but he’s a fucking liar and it hurts my feelings. He’s not natural. You can’t do what he does without hormonal support. As of right now he’s 204 sub 10%. Bf runs 100+ mile ultra marathons on top of regular marathons and can DL 500+ bench 4 plates, he’s lying but I still like him and enjoy his content.

For a running context only I feel like the best PED stack for running, specifically for endurance purposes would be as follows:

250 test
100 mast
20mgs GW
30mgs injectable SR-9009
10gs taurine to counter calf/shin/VG pumps

Also, that’s awesome that you’re going to do a half marathon, that’s very exciting. I was a cross country athlete all through high school and early 20s. That’s coming up soon, I’m rooting for you brother.

As for drinking my meals, I was very psychologically addicted to food. I tried to remove all pleasure from eating. I have a very addictive personality so I have to do things slightly different. By removing the emotional connection to food I found that it was much easier to stick to my diet, and consistently hit my macros. I have a large genetic blender from Walmart, and a fruit ninja

 

[PaintDrinker]

I’m actually really excited for you on that half marathon, there are 0 runners on the other forum I’m on @demon

 

[patriotmuscle1]

Those are great results man. Congrats. Dedication and consistency is the key!! I ll follow this. I'm on a weight loss and big recomp goal myself right now. I have alot of muscle memory but it's taking a little longer to get regimented again after 2 years of no training,no supps, bad food and just mentally at my best. Once I get to a good base line I been thinking about doing a log for meso. I think it will help myself with some more accountability also to help anyone watching. Goodluck I'm rooting for ya !

 

[RaddishPork]

Do you not find it difficult to run with that much mass? I used to wrestle and box at 130lbs. I’m up roughly 65lbs from those days (mostly lean gains)

My endurance is still great but if I try to jump rope or run, my tibialis and shins feel like they got hit with a baseball bat. Thinking about GH and peptides to help with my bone health to support the extra impact.

Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot to me. I wish you the best of luck, and would absolutely follow a log of yours. If you ever want to start running you can always dm me about form, breathing, cadence or anything. I’m here to learn as much as I can about hypertrophy, but when it comes to running I can give excellent advice.

I actually have a goal to try and popularize it. I think there are so many benefits to running, especially heart health and in the world of anabolic it can be an extremely important thing. Plus having good cardio just makes life so much easier, even waking up in the morning.

It is significantly harder to run at my weight. When I was 185 I felt like I was gliding along the pavement. Now I feel like a bulldozer, but with proper form and GOOD shoes, I can still get the job done and stay injury free. I don’t have any reference to prove this, but I do believe increased bone density from peds absolutely provides a shield against injury when it comes to running.

I've honestly never tried any serious running since high-school sports. I've done tread mill and bike.. bike I enjoy alot both stationary and road bike. I always feel like a big meat head trying to run so I kinda shied away from it. I may give it go I the current biking/hiking plan doesn't work well. Appreciate it

This here is also my fear haha.. I'm 40 pounds over weight right now.. 260.. I'm 6'1". At my best I was 231 and looked damn good to me.. even though I had alot of.room still to grow or even shed 4-6 more pounds. Running scares me right now..which is silly because it's hard .. running g is hard and it will take time and practice .. and we hate sucking at things. I do atleast.

This is the easiest way to start. Walk as fast as can like a very fast brisk walk, then lean forward roughly 15-20% and start lifting your heels, you are now jogging. Don’t worry about time, 12-13 minute pace when starting. From your fast walk pace, to jog pace maybe only increase speed by 1mph. Breathe in for 5-7 steps hold for 2 steps exhale 5-7 steps or find a similar rhythm that works for you. This is what I tell anyone that wants to start running but is having a hard time.

What brand shoes are you running in? I bought a 40lb weight vest to walk in. That’s been a decent alternative to running but sometimes I just want to sprint up the hills in my neighborhood like I used to.

Nike renew 3, not the best but I can buy 2-3 pairs at a time

I'm assuming you take the added T3 for aid in fat loss? I'm guessing at your age your thyroid is fine? Back in the day I lived at McDonalds as well, I was so addicted to their food.

Congrats on kicking the boozing habit, that's a hard one to stop. Your cycles you ran look very reasonable. I don't run high test anymore and vary rarely go above 250mg. I love mast but can't run it too high anymore or it will dry out my joints. I'm definitely going to add some to my test cruise and see how I respond. Do you get you're inj SR from AA? Any experience with the oral version or is that a waste of time?

Nick Bare is a tank but yeah he's for sure a fake natty. I can't believe how gullible some of his followers are! I usually watch his vids for running motivation.

Thanks man, I'm stoked. I'm not a fast runner so idc on my time just want to get one under my belt. It seems most people are interested in bodybuilding and not so much running or hybrid training.

So after my first cycle my thyroid did not recover to ever half of baseline after using it, I suppose I’m a rare case. I’m glad I made an account on here, I was advised not to run t3 solo without t4 as it can lead to afib, I now have implemented 50 mics of t4 in my daily regiment, but to answer the question it absolutely aidsn my fat loss and energy levels.

I really do enjoy Masteron, I have only ran test/mast and a couple orals. Very new to AAS.

As for the injectable sr it is from amino, and I never have less than 5 vials of it. As for AA I’m somewhere in between, I have received some less than acceptable ancillaries from them, but after sending multiple samples of the se to Jano, they all came back between 26-31mg/ml which is acceptable to me. It’s a hard compound to come by, and I now know what to expect so I no longer send it in.

The oral version will do next to nothing, the man that synthesized it published that it has a 3% bioavailability, even sublingual 15%. Extremely fast acting, half life of 3 hours.

As for the Masteron in a cruise, I need an ai at 200 test, but 120 test 100 mast my lipids look better than that or 200 test + ai. I also get an endurance boost from it, it’s subtle but noticeable, a slight increase in energy and libido. I find it very easy to get out of bed at 4:30 a.m

As for my cycles I get next to 0 side effects from test/mast combo so my opinion is I’m going to stick to that until it no longer works.

I understand why Nick lies about his use, he owns a massive supplement company and openly admitting to whatever he is doing would absolutely negatively affect the brand. But I respect his achievements and between him and Goggins I get a ton of running motivation from them as well.

That is a perfect attitude to have. I have never had competitive times, I just really love running. The satisfaction after a long run is worth it 100%.

Do you ever notice it gets easier when your warm, say after about a mile and half the rest of the run gets easier? This is something I experience, the first 1.5 miles always sucks, but I get to a point where I’m just flowing. I’d love to get some guys into hybrid training, a mix between endurance and hypertrophy! That would be a cool little brotherhood

 

[UncleBuns]

Impressed by you transformation. Solid. Am I confused or do you only eat white rice blended with whey protein? No solid food? No whole protein sources, fiber, or anything you have to chew?

Thank you brother, I prefer my meals to be liquid. I do still eat some normal foods like top sirloin and sweet potatoes. Blended vegetables and fruit, blended rice and beef, blended rice and whey are my typical liquid meals. It took me a long time to get the ground beef shakes down. It was disgusting at first but I know a few others that have had great success doing this. I just got used to it, it’s not so bad anymore.
