New Cycle 4th run

[jJjburton]

I am 220 lbs. I am going to hit 250 in a matter of 20 weeks. I have done this before. but I am bigger at 220 then I was before also. More muscle. I have TRT for 1 year and no blasts so this should be a good one.
Since these were tested meds they have a labeled mg and an actual. This is why some of the numbers aren't exact. For example the cialis tested at 28 mg not 20 mg.

My Arimidex and t4 is prescription and so is my testosterone C Pharma (script)
No my TRT is not 300 mg I saved up a bunch of vials.

Cycle 20 weeks

Monday and Thursday Meds
Deca 400 mg 2x = 800 mg/wk
Test 150 mg 2x= 300 mg/wk
Arimidex .25 mg 2x = .6 mg

NPP 100mg 5 days a week(M T TH F Sa) for first 4 weeks until DECA kicks in.

Everyday Meds
Cialis 7 mg
Anadrol 100 mg
t4 prescribed 112 mcg

I will be posting a before pic. And after every 5 weeks.

Some lifting stats.
I squat 225 for 5x5
Hip Thrust 400 for 8x5
Dumbell chest 80 lbs 10x5

All my sets are of 5. Reps will be from 6-10.
I workout Legs one day, Chest one day, Back one day, and arms one day. I rarely take a day off. I do not run. I do abs every other day for 20 min. I workout for 1 hr and 30 min.

I will be eating 3000 cals at first. 250 protein, 300 carbs, 100 good fats.

I STARTED TODAY!!!!!!!!!! LETS GET BIG.

Any benefits to adding 50 mg of winny a day?

Everything looks pretty good. I would up your test and lower that deca. Is that 500 mg of npp on top of 800mg deca?
If so bad idea! Your 30 pounds more then me and your eating less then I eat on cruise. How do you expect to gain 30lbs on that? The macros are balanced well but up those cals if your sitting on 220lb. Not trying to be a dick but your lifting stats are kinda confusing and need a lot of help. That’s a lot of gear for someone with those stats.

 

[Spielur]

Much rather run higher test say 500 and 250/300 decca.. I would imagine you want your dick to work but not sure how the drug effects you. 2 mg of deca per lean body weight usually since less is always more in my eyes. Good luck

 

[LeoTC]

At that weight you're only squatting two plates for five?

Eighty pound dumbbell presses...like eighty total of one sixty?

And I don't think I've ever had someone hold up a hip thrust as a benchmark...XD

I kind of feel like that kind of gear, at the level you're at, is probably a waste.

And as mentioned, you're not exactly putting away the calories for growth. So I'm thinking more than anything you'll see empty strength gains, cut body fat, and maybe put on a few pounds of lean with a lot of wet mass.


...

Just saw you said you'd done this before. And that's the weight you're moving after how many blasts?

Dude...skip the kit and just lift fucking weight. My face seriously hurts after re-reading that.

 

[jJjburton]

I have gained 6 pounds so far, and do indeed look bigger. It is mostly water, I would say. Is been 3 weeks so far, and doing good. I upped my cals to 3500 right now.

I up my cals and macros as the compounds utilized better. I have hit 250 on just eating 3000 cals. So You guys must metabolize crazy or something.

I am 226 at 14 percent bf and 6 foot 1.

Yes I just stopped the NPP today I was running it at 500 mg and 800 mg deca. I have the hardest boners I have ever had its amazing so far, I am not going to get deca dick. I feel great to, sometimes hitting the gym 2x a day while doing yoga for 20 min a day at night. I ran npp for 3.5 weeks so the deca has about 1-2 weeks to reach full effect, but I believe it has reached an equivilant of 500 mg npp at 800 mg deca.

MY dick is working better then usual. Idk i think the deca dick is from estrogen. I am running 800 mg deca and 300 mg test and 100 mg adrol.

I am upping my test to 500 mg for now on though since I got more. So far

I really believe that hip thrusts increase your max deadlift dramaticlly, which is why i document it.

I am was not pushing the envelope with weight yet. I do slow movement and hold at the top of my lift. I know what I am doing. But that being said I can easily do more weight I chose not to my gym only has 120 dumbells and I can do that for 10 reps of 5 sets but do not. Cause I rather do slow and hold contractions.

 

[jJjburton]

Thanks for the comments appreciate the input, I am going to do some of what you guys said, regarding pping macros. But I honestly think some of you must be fat if you're eating that much on a yearly basis. lol,

 

[jJjburton]

I do not feel comfrotable posting a pic but will see what I can do for you to gauge my size properly. I just am just hesitant cause I dont trust anyone here lol.

Do measurements

Neck
Shoulders
Chest
Waist
Upper arm
Quad
Calf

Squatting two plates is the tail end of a warm-up.

As far as hip thrusts carrying over to Deadlift? I've watched 110lb bikini chicks hit 405lb for reps. I did them often when I trained BJJ. Great carry-over there, not to the DL though.

Why didn't you just post your DL numbers? Lol.

 

[Eman]

Great carry-over there, not to the DL though.

There is definitely a carryover for hip thrust into deadlift. It helps the hip lockout, also helpful for squats.

With that said, I agree it would have made more sense to post traditional lifting stats... I was going to ask about the deadlift thing but decided I probably didn't want to know.

It's a rough estimation, given that i pegged you at about 30 years old, but here's what TDEE Calc gave me for your stats.

That’s some bullshit!! Y’all be crazy metabolizing!! Lol, he’s already been at 250lbs @ 3000 cals. Why do you have to be so scientifical? Fuck food, thats what 1300mg of deca a week is for. Gainz!!

Chalk it up to a difference of opinion and philosophy, but I've never seen anyone blow up their deadlift doing hip thrusts.

Great for developing explosiveness through the hips off your back. Again, did hundreds of them when I was rolling on a regular basis. But I didn't see any real carry-over to anything but my bump and a handful of throws where popping your hips/arching your back are key.

Movements that mimic the deadlift, in the same or a very similar plane, are way more effective. Resisted trunk extensions, Romanian or stiff leg deadlifts, good mornings, block pulls, stones, tires, etc.

I'd honestly argue there's more legitimate crossover just hitting squats, step-ups, or lunges. Especially if your rational is that you're just training glutes.

I didn't say there weren't better assistance exercises, there certainly are. I just stated there is a carryover, and it's very well established.

A lot of individuals struggle with the lockout on the deadlift, the hip thrust helps strengthen it. It doesn't have really enough specificity to be the end all be all though...

 

[LeoTC]

Oh I know, wasn't intended as a call-out so much as a why bother? Just strikes me as doing curls to up your bent over row.

Is it worth the energy expended in the grand scheme?

A good coach would shut it down and point you in the direction of something way more efficient.

An example would be training lockout with a banded pull. Heavy bands around the hips, pegged off of the rack.

Romanians or blocks with that set-up will up your game in weeks. Sometimes just feeling the glutes and hams, the forced feedback, produces a noticeable difference after just a few sets.

Way less energy expended and none of the stress of awkwardly balancing 405lbs on your pelvic crest.

Unless you're just trying to bruise up whatever you're docking your balls in. Lol.

Westside barbell, JTS, EliteFTS, Chris Duffin just to name a couple are known to include them in programming. Now, I'm not sure that they would program them for an elite lifter or not.

Kind of seems like apples to oranges to me although I get your point.

That I agree with.

Alright, @jJjburton... I gotta know, what's the deadlift and bench at?

Yes. I am not gaininng the weight I should be. I guess last time I was eating more. I am going to be upping my food intake. I am 26 yrs old.

Deadlift I do 315 for 10 reps of 5 sets.
Squat I do 225 10 reps for 5 sets.
Dont barbell bench. I do dumbell 105,10...110, 10...115,8...120 fail,fail
My gym doeesnt go above 120, but no need if your other workouts for that day are good.

I do not go above this. I have never really tried.

I will probably have to start because I am not seeing the growth which I am used to seeing.
