It's time for a long, sweet cruise again. I'm running Test E 250mg/week, Primo 150mg/week, and Deca 100mg/week. I ran this last time, and really liked it. So, round two. This will go until late August/early September.
For the first 8 weeks, I will be training with a moderate volume, and each muscle group will be hit twice to three times per week (a "week" means roughly 10 days since the training frequency dictates what a "week" is; a micro-cycle as it were), with progressive overload of course. I am aiming during this time to work extra on lat width and depth, biceps size, and quad sweep. Abs will be targeted as well. Training 5-6 days/ week. Once I am satisfied, I will likely modulate to strength training. I am leaning toward the Gironda style, but will likely modify it somewhat. (I like to get a little creative myself, instead of following a plan to the letter).
My TDEE has increased with my new job (a lot of up and down ladders carrying various tools and material), so, I'll be increasing calories to 3500/day for two to three weeks then ramp up to 4000 (which seems to be my new TDEE). I want to first test the waters with a lower amount, and increase as needed. My scale weight is 203-204, 8%bf according to caliper measurements (adjusted up from a near death of about 4%, definitely not 4%!) Below is my meal plan, yes, I still hand write it. It is an outline for 4000 cals/day, so I will be lowering carbs and fat to meet the 3500 mark. (Chix = chicken breast, Dex = glucose, Rice = white rice). Fats will be from olive oil, avocado oil, or whatever is on sale that fits my needs (not vegetable oil or crap like that just to be clear lol). Chicken breast is my mainstay, but sometimes lean beef (ground or steak) or salmon will be thrown in for variation. I'm using pure, flavorless whey isolate, oats, glucose and spirulina in my morning and 5th meal shake.If I do start to pack on too much fat, modified mini-cuts may be utilized to adjust weight gain according to look and feel. Ultimately, the goal is to maintain, and perhaps add to, my current FFM, which is floating in the vicinity of 28 +/-. I will be allowing myself an occasional kit-kat, or pack of peanut M&Ms, and a so-called cheat meal once in awhile, which is usually a 1 pound hamburger, and some fries.
Supplements are few, and are NAC, taurine, BCAA,iodine, and D3. No pre-workouts for me any more, just a 200mg cap of caffeine. I may include creatine later on down the line.
I'll update this log when I can, and when there is something interesting or noteworthy. The continues as though this is day 1
