What's up guys? So, I wanted to make a log documenting my off-season mass gain phase. I don't really want to just put on crazy weight, so you'll likely see a different-than-expected layout of anabolics... At this stage, I prefer quality lean mass gains and minimal water retention, as well as maximizing insulin sensitivity.
Training will be standard Push/Pull/Legs layout, hitting each muscle group 2x a week. However, intensity will vary for every other session. As an example, Push 1 will be chest focused with shoulder and tricep "pump" work. Push 2 will be shoulder and triceps focused, with chest "pump" work. The "pump" routines are normally 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps, not hitting failure... Mostly focusing on SLOW eccentrics, 1 second squeezes and maximum bloodflow. The "base" workouts will be strength focused followed by a "challenge" exercise, something like a drop set or muscle rounds, etc. The "base" days will train the bigger lifts to failure, TRUE failure... Volume on the heavier base lifts will be lower, and volume on pump/ancillary lifts will be higher.
This process works well for ME, not everyone. I've seen some of our clients BLOW UP using this process, and some do much better on more "old school" body building styles (sets of 8-10, focusing almost entirely on pump). I feel like a lot of folks don't know how to/desire to train to TRUE failure, so higher volume works better for them.
Starting around 240lbs, last measured at 9-10% BF (Dexa Scan). I feel comfortable adding a pound or two of fat during this process, as I can easily shed that post mass gaining period (very rarely can you avoid ANY fat loss during a mass phase).
Now, I know you guys probably mostly care about the drug layout, so here it is:
Weekly:
700mg's Primo Enan.
500mg's Test Enan.
300mg's NPP -> ~700mg's NPP (I will raise slowly, or until I get side effects/bloat etc.).
Daily:
50mg's Anadrol pre workout (first 3 or so weeks)
75mcg's T4
8iu hGH (2iu AM fasted, 4iu pre workout, 2iu pre bed).
10iu Humalog pre workout (I'm a pre workout insulin guy, personally).
Diet will be centered around carb timing... Carbs will be low throughout the day until my pre, intra and post workout meals (to maximize insulin sensitivity and stay within my "macros"). For now, I'm just going to run 10% caloric surplus, slowly increasing as recovery demands, intensity increases and drugs reach saturation points.
Lemme know your thoughts and/or questions...
