MJ's Blast + Cruise

[MJHollo]

I'm generally a lurker but finally decided to register as a member.
Prior history is:
Halodrol
Epi
Stano
Trenavar
Superdrol

^ It's been 8 months on orals and it's time to give my liver a "break"
5'11 225 @ 9-10% bf < size/shape is a bonus more concerned about increased about strength.

Lifts
535/370/595

I've finally settled into

Week 1-4 Test E 500 mg
Week 5-8 Test E 750 mg
Week 8-12 Test E 1000 mg
Week 12-16 Test E 1250 mg
Week 16-20 Test E 1500 mg
Week 20- 24 Test E 1500 mg Deca 250 mg
Week 24-28 Test E 1500 mg Deca 500 mg
Week 28-32Test E 1500 mg Deca 750 mg
Week 32-36 Test E 1500 mg Deca 750 mg Dbol 40 mg
Week 36-40 Test E 1500 mg Deca 750 mg Dbol 80 mg
Week 40 - + Test E 750 mg Deca 450 mg and peptides. <All depends on blood work.

I might throw in superdrol or it's precursor sometime before I start Deca.

Test Experiences

For me it's:

1) Huge recomp effect at 750 mg Test E and 6000-6500 calories a day I could care less about macro breakdown but high protein.
2) Body weight is maintained, yet fat melts off.
3)Slightly faster recovery and more euphoric/assured
4) Moderate strength increase
5) Mild facial acne
6) I actually dream
7) Pumps are more intense and happen quicker in the gym.

It looks like for me to actually gain weight/fat I'd have to eat 8000+ which is hilarious.

Goals:
Total 1800 by the end of the year, and be around 240-250.

So u have fan orals for 8 months straight now ur going to run a 10 month blast

 

[MJHollo]

Bloods were fine so why not? It's nothing overly taxing. I forgot to mention I'm 8 weeks into it.

 

[longworthb]

Ur liver values came back ok after 8 months of orals? Damn bro u must have superman organs

 

[MJHollo]

Honestly my body is pretty messed up, and yes my liver values where fine. I got absolutely no side effects at 40 mg superdrol.

I'm on indefinitely but the blasts and the subsequent cruises in blood work dependent. It would be wild if it was 40 weeks of Tren but Deca is peanuts in comparison.

Notes
Weighed in at 222.0 pounds today (lol). I don't mind I'm enjoying the recomp effect, but having to eat a boatload to maintain is hilarious, but it's probably due to my super high metabolism/marathon workouts. Shoulder was really iffy today which could be the case of yesterday so I didn't do normal bench. Happy with the 370 for reps and excited for the 385 x 2 next week. Did a bunch of light accessories due to feeling banged up.

Notes
I'm stoked for the 415 x 1 next Monday as it felt really smooth today. Really happy with the progressions of my lifts and I'll probably do the cycle again with a few tweaks such as:

1) Heavy Flat Reverse Close Grip Bench Consistently
2) Lighter Flat Normal Grip Bench
3) Two sets incline reverse two normal
Saturday really high rep bench most likely going to be a chest/biceps/calves day.

Volume day, I realize if I do toes to bar my front squats can't be repped out like they should that accompanied with the taxation on the CNS with Bench press but it's fine as bench/deadlifts are priorities at the moment.

Wednesday

Notes
Feel thrashed today deadlifts will be an amazing grind tomorrow lol. Didn't eat till 2:00 pm so I realize at 221.0 bloated at all and it's amazing the retention of bloat I carry towards the end of the day. So at 750 mg the bloat isn't there at all on a consistent basis so we'll see if it changes at higher doses.
