Hello, everyone. This is going to be my journal of using a few OTC research compounds to assist in getting back into the shape of my youth. I'll post some stats and my intended cycle in a bit, but first a few things about me so I can kind of set the stage and make sure everyone understands where I'm coming from and how to best assist me (if ya'll are so inclined).
First - let's just get this on the table - I am a TOTAL noob. I've never done a single anabolic cycle (which is one reason I've chosen the cycle I have below). I've spent the past 6 weeks or so lurking on various forums, learning what I could, so I hope I'm semi-informed, but let's be honest - it's almost like learning a new dialect, there's so many abbreviations, slang terms, etc. So if you notice I'm doing something stupid/wrong/unusual, PLEASE tell me! The odds are that I misunderstood/overlooked something.
OK, about me personally. I'm an army vet, proud member of the 82nd Airborne Division, did a few tours in various places...yada yada. In my youth I was in great shape; at my peak I was 6'2", 220 lbs, and according to the body-fat measuring electronic scale had a BF % of between 10 - 12%. Being ripped in the army for me was actually quite easy - my barracks were right across the street from an on-post gym, so after final formation me and my buddy would walk across the street and lift for a couple hours every day. This doesn't include the daily PT stuff like running, push-ups, etc, and the chow halls feed you well. I never used any juice per se, but the PX had plenty of creatine and andro and ephedra...those are the only three supplements I've ever used so far. I ended up having a bad jump, tore my knees apart and broke a lot of bones, and *poof* went my military career. So I took the GI Bill, got my degree, and now I'm fairly successful in my field (science/engineering). But, having gotten married, had 2 kids, expecting the third, an office job...I am no longer in the greatest shape. I'm not slovenly by any means, but I'm not at my best.
My stats:
Age: 36
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 213 lbs
Body Fat: 28.2% Yeah, I know
I have a beer belly
Diet: My diet is actually pretty good, with one exception; I LOVE beer. I'm a connoisseur, and can go through a six pack a night, I love it that much. No other alcohol really does it for me, but beer...jesus god, how could you NOT love beer? It's like God came in a bottle and stirred it up with a unicorn's horn. Anyhow, obviously for this to work I am giving up the beer. My diet will be 50/30/20 protein/carbs/fats. I don't eat red meat or pork, so protein will primarily come from chicken, fish, and shakes.
Experience level: non-existent.
OK, so, here's my plan...I don't think I'm ready for testosterone or anything like that yet. I just don't have a firm enough grip on all the side effects, downs, ups, post-cycle treatments, etc. So I'm going with the following plan - all of the stuff is on order, but nothing's arrived yet; I expect it toward the end of the week beginning of next week:
Liquid Clen 30mL 200mcg/mL
Liquid Keto 30mL 1mg/mL
L-Taurine 100 capsules (500mg)
GW-501516, 30 ml 5.0mg/ml
MK-2866, 30 ml 50mg/ml
Week 1:
Start at 40mg/day Clen in the morning, increase by 20mg/day until the shakes are uncomfortable, then dial back 20mg. So something like this: 20/40/60/80/100/80, then leave it at 80.
1 capsule per day L-Taurine
5 mg GW-501516 in the morning
25 mg MK-2866 in the morning
Week 2:
Same as above but add 1 mg Kat before bedtime to keep the clen working.
This will go on for weeks 2 - 5. Week 6 I will gradually dose-down the clen. Based on what I've read so far, there should be no need for a PCT after this cycle.
Exercise plan: 3 days a week lifting, 2 days a week cardio, 2 days off. I believe in the importance of rest days.
Mon: Chest/Triceps, 90 minutes
Tue: 5 mile run
Wed: Back/Shoulders, 90 minutes
Thu: 60 minutes elliptical
Fri: Legs/Biceps, 90 minutes
Sat/Sun: Rest
I only use free weights and cables, no machines. I have a pool and go swimming with my kids every day before bed for ~ 30 minutes...it's actually pretty intense, I stay in the deep end and simply tread water while they try to dunk me. It's a good work-out on it's own.
So, there we go. My intent is not so much weight oriented as it is shape-oriented. I'm hoping to be able to go from a size 38 to a size 34, and get rid of the flab. Muscle weighs more than fat, so I could be thinner and still end weighing the same (or even gaining) and being happy with the results. That said, I anticipate at the end of the 6 week cycle, I will probably be a size 34 and weigh around 200 lbs, assuming I'm disciplined and stick to the plan, and no beer.
So, there we go. What are ya'lls thoughts? Anything I'm doing wrong? Any other information you'd like me to share?
Thanks for welcoming me to your community.
