Ain't Squat
New member
I will be starting my first cycle in the next week or two (whenever the gear arrives). Some background on me: I'm 26, 5'9", 195lbs. Approximately 20% bodyfat. I've been lifting on and off for the past 8 years. I've been lifting consistently for the past 1 year. In the past year I've shed 20lbs and greatly increased strength and muscle mass through carefully following and cycling nutrition/training. Diet has been dialed in (i.e. tracking calories and macros, weight and BF%, adjusting to arrive at actual maintenance/cutting/bulking needs). I've done quite a bit of research on the subject and have arrived at the following cycle.
Week 1-10 500mg Test C (250mg twice per week)
Week 1-4 30mg Dbol/day(10mg three times per day)
Week 3-12 500iu HCG (250iu twice per week)
Week 1-10 .25mg Arimidex/day
Week 9-11 E/C/A 25mg/200mg/85mg 2-3/day
Week 13-16 Clomid (100/100/50/50)
Week 13-16 OTC PCT Supplement TBD
Along with the above, I will be taking 1mg of finasteride per day as I always do to manage hair loss. Supplements taken will be multivitamin, whey protein/carb supplement(PWO), whey pre workout, BCAA/Glutamine (intraworkout), Casein (before bed), EFA & CLA, milk thistle, and glucosamine/chondroitin/msm. I will have Nolvadex on hand in case of any gyno symptons. My primary goal is to add lean body mass and slightly reduce body fat (approx 2-3%). Obviously, I understand you cannot efficiently build muscle mass and cut body fat successfully at the same time so I am considering taking a few weeks at the end of the cycle for a short cut. My diet nutrition will resemble the following:
Week 1-2 +500 cal above maintenance(3250-3500cal/day-350g protein)
Week 3-8 +750 cal above maintenance(3500-3750cal/day-375g protein)
Week 9-11 -750 cal below maintenance(2000-2250cal/day-300g protein)
Week 12 0 calories at maintenance
Week 13-16 +250 calories above maintenance
Note that I arrived at maintenance calories based off of regular activity while lifting to maintain current body weight and realize that as my body composition changes and/or training changes, adjustments will likely be needed. Presently maintenance calories is 2800-3000. My diet will consist of primarily lean proteins (chicken, turkey, tuna, lean cuts of beef), complex carbohydrates(Whole wheat breads, sweet potatos, oatmeal, etc), and relatively low good fats(Peanut Butter). My end goal would be to gain 10-15lbs of muscle (weeks 1-8) and to shed about 6-8lbs of fat/3-4% BF (weeks 9-12), then to focus on maintaining condition for weeks 13-16. Will be lifting on a 5 day split of heavy lifting throughout the entire cycle hitting each muscle once per week with 1 additional workout for lagging areas per week. Cardio will be limited to postworkout in small low intensity amounts for weeks 1-8. For weeks 9-12, will increase cardio duration and intensity.
Feel free to comment on whether my expectations are realistic, on dosing/timing of goods, nutrition plan, or anything else. I am open to opinions and ideas.
