Hey everyone, I’m excited to start this log. I’m determined to show you all what’s possible when you truly dedicate your time, energy, and effort into something. It’s time to put back on the muscle I lost during the last few months of cutting and build even more muscle than before. My goal is to gain 15-20 lbs of lean muscle over the next 3 months.
I’ll be updating this log, so you’ll be getting a full picture of my progress.
Training and Goals:
I’m lifting 3-4 days per week, following a Dorian Yates-style training regimen on most days. I’m also reintroducing deadlifts and squats into my routine. If my shoulder holds up, my long-term goal is to hit a world record deadlift in my age and weight class within the next 24 months, targeting a 730 lbs deadlift on a stiff bar.
I’m also contemplating competing in bodybuilding someday if I can achieve enough muscle mass to truly be competitive on stage. This will be my first cycle in a calorie surplus in over 25 years, and I’m curious to see how my body responds to not being in a 1500-calorie deficit, which I’ve been in for the last 6 months. Muscle memory will be a big factor here, and I’m excited to see how my body adapts.
This is the longest stretch I’ve been in the gym without having to stop for extended periods, and I truly feel like I have 50 lbs of muscle still left to fill out on my frame, based on my genetic potential. I’m expecting a slow and steady process over the next 24-36 months to maximize my gains.
Current Cycle (Next 12 Weeks):
- Testosterone Enanthate: 300 mg/week
- Masteron Enanthate: 300 mg/week
- NPP (Nandrolone Phenylpropionate): 300 mg/week
- HGH: 3 IU/day
- IGF-1 LR3: 40-50 mcg post-workout (4 weeks on, 2 weeks off)
- Proviron: 50 mg/day
- Cialis: 10 mg before lifting workouts
I’m a believer in low-dose cycles to build muscle long-term without excessive sides. I think this approach helps maintain muscle mass while off-cycle and prevents losing gains. I don’t use an AI (Aromatase Inhibitor) because I feel it can hinder gains. I rely on Masteron and Proviron to manage estrogen and keep things dry. I’ll only use Aromasin if absolutely necessary.
So far, I’ve been on HGH (3 IU/day) for over 3 months, and I definitely feel like it helps with recovery—getting me an extra couple of recovery days per week.
Diet:
My daily calorie intake will range from 2000-3000 kcal, depending on training days and cardio. On lifting days, I’ll be carb cycling, and on cardio-only days, I’ll be at maintenance or a slight deficit with low carbs. My daily protein intake will be around 300 grams.
- Main protein sources: Steak, chicken, tuna, salmon, protein shakes, Catalina Crunch, Fairlife protein drinks, and homemade protein ice cream.
- Carb sources: Rice, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, milk, pineapple, banana, and some bread (for sandwiches).
- Fiber: I’m aiming for 50 grams of fiber per day, with plenty of pre- and probiotics.
- I’m also using liver support herbs and vitamins as part of my supplement regimen.
Training Split:
I follow a 2 days on, 2 days off training cycle, but sometimes we adjust and take only 1 rest day if needed. My wife, who’s a top 5 national-level powerlifter, pushes me hard in the gym, so the competition between us makes every workout a challenge.
- Legs
- Chest/Triceps
- Back/Deadlift/Traps
- Arms/Delts
It’s been fun training alongside her, and we motivate each other to get the most out of every session.
I’m really looking forward to seeing the progress I make over the next 12 weeks with this cycle. My ultimate goal is to build muscle, improve strength, and potentially make a run at the deadlift record. I’ll be updating this log regularly to keep track of everything, including how my body responds to the cycle and diet changes.
