3 years later, And im back at it!

Its been over three years since I first started this Journal and I have been just itching to start logging again!!!
Quick intro about me...
I am currently a chef at a high end resort style hospital. (I will be posting recipes as I share my diet with everyone)!!
I wanted to continue on this same journal because I really want to get my strength up to, and maybe even surpass where I was when I first started this journal.
I have been going natural for over a year now and I am just where I want to be, both physically and mentally, to start a new cycle and kick off 2012 with a bang...
Ill log tonights workout later on today and add a link to my upcoming cycle structure that I will post later tonight in the Anabolic forum...

Please feel free to add your input to everything I do!
I missed the whole Ironmag Familia a great deal and I am excited to restart this log/journal!!

100 Day Cycle Plan

100 day cycle in detail:

(1-40) ??? 100mg Test Suspension
(1-30) ??? Metha-Drol Extreme
(31-70) ??? 75mg Test Prop, Tren Ace, Drost Prop
(41-100) ??? 105mg Anavar (devided into three doses)
(61-80) ??? 25mg Winny
(1-100) ??? Advanced Cycle Support
(1-100) ??? E-control RX
(1-70) ??? .5mg Arimidex eod
(1-68) ??? hcg 200iu eod, (69-70) 1500iu each day
(71-100) ??? Clomid 50mg
(71-100) ??? Melatonin2 .5mg (twice daily)

I will not start this cycle until I manage a few body fat issues that I have right now.
My current goal to start the cycle is to just cut from my current weight 226 to 215. IMO I will be right under 15% body fat. (im 5'10-11???)

Over the years I have tried various weight loss methods and while some have even proven themselves to be particularly effective, my appetite always seems to blast through the roof. Its debateable whether or not the appetite would be a positive side effect for me during a cycle of aas I feel that i can control my eating much better without them. With that said I am willing to try any suggestions that I think make sense.
Does anybody else share that perspective?

2/1 workout:

Hard abs and Cardio

HIIT treadmill...
5 sets of 1min sprint followed by 4mins light walking.
Abs...
seated crunch machine 5x50 (100lb resistance)
HIIT stationary bike...
same sequence as earlier.
Lower abs...
hanging leg lifts 3x20

I didnt feel too tired after my workout but I resisted the temptation of doing to much.

Todays dinner: 1 large salmon steak & two large cod fillets (split into two dinners 2 hrs apart) I pan sear the fish on top of my barbeque outside because I cant stand it when my house smells like fish all night lol!!

 

[sendit08]

Nothing but cardio for the last coupe days...
I feel like I am about 3 weeks out of where I want to be to start this cycle...
I am getting ready to post up some pics on here because I definately want to log the transformation!
Still looking for some feedback on my cycle, maybe a few suggestions or critques?

Welcome back - subbed!

Whats the Melatonin for?

Hey thanks for some feedback dude, I knew I wasnt talking to noone lol. Its good to be back! I honestly forgot how much motivation keeping a log on here gives me....

I definitely hope to be fairly shredded by the time cycle is over and I have some melatonin on hand because I friend of mine had some and he owed me money lol now its mine!
Im Italian so im not super white but I think that the melatonin might give me a littler more of a "shredded" look. I have also heard/read that it may help with my skin. I have some large stretch marks that my first cycle left on me and I'm hoping it might minimize the visibility of those.

Today I am going to the gym during the first half of the super bowl!
I figure it to be pretty dead to I can get some serious reps in.

I got my gear last night and it made me want to wait a little longer to start my cycle.
I definitely feel like I need to be as close to 10% BF as I can before I start.
With the depth of my cycle being what it is I feel like the lower the bodyfat percentage the less of a risk of unwanted estrogenic sides.

Back day

the gym was completely dead during the super bowl. It was kind of nice to have the whole place to myself.

Abs:
100 crunches with 25lb plate
Cardio:
Hiit of the bike for the entire first quarter
Back:
bent over rows (75lb dbs) 3 sets of 12
T bar rows 90olbs 1 set of 20
Lat pull down 100lb 3 sets of 20,18,18
Sumo deads 225lb 2 sets of 10, 315 1 set of 6 (It pains me to look back and see how much I lifted but I am getting ther quickly)
Upright rows with cable 140 3 sets of 12
I really wanted to end with hypers because I recently read an article in AM forum about them and realized ive neglected them for a while.
but I was cramping Im pretty sure because I barely got any calories yesterday. (fell asleep before dinner)
anyways, I will do them during my leg day since I do sld's that day anyways.

It was a good day all in all except I was rooting for the pats but whatever these guys deserved it too!

Chest day

I am going to train my wheels tomorow so I warmed up today by doing some lightweight leg presses. A lot of reps just to see where I am at and make a plan for tomorrow.

my chest routine today was inspired by a youtube video that I watched Phil Heath training chest...

decline.
70lb DBs press, 30lb flys, take 120 second and repeat
flat bench
same as decline
incline
same thing
I ended with the peck deck 7 sets of 10 at 50lbs and it kicked my but. My tris were burning so much I just hopped on the bike for a cool down without even isolating them.

So in about a week I am going to end this log and start a new one in the Gear Depot section because I have all of my goodies and Ill be ready to go.
Ill be on a hardcore cut for the first three or so weeks. then I will go straight into the glory!


Today I trained legs.
My gym only has one station for squating and it was full with these three guys doing power cleans and upright rows.
I ended up doing a pyramid on the leg press.
And I ended my workout with the stair climber, 20mins.
That was all and I could barely walk out of the place!
