Second cycle, first cycle log

[Mudrunner32]

Getting ready to start again in a couple weeks...just waiting for my on cycle and post cycle meds to come in the mail. I know it's kinda late in the season to start a bulk, but I had to wait until I had EVERYTHING before starting. As of now, my upcoming cycle will look like this:

Weeks 1-12: Test Cyp 500mg/wk and Deca 300mg/wk (injections split on Sunday and Wednesday)

Weeks 12-14: Test Cyp 500mg/wk (Sunday and Wednesday injections)

Weeks 4-14: HCG 250iu twice weekly (Monday and Thursday)

Weeks 17-22: PCT - Clomid 50/50/50/50/50 & Nolva 20/20/20/20/20

I'll have Caber and Aromasin on hand, probably going to take both from start to finish. Caber I'll probably run until it's gone @ .25mg twice weekly and Aromasin 12.5 EOD or so to start.

I'm starting this log early so that I can get input on my diet and exercise before starting my injections. As of right now, I've got the Test and Deca on deck from Sovereign Labs, and I'm hoping to have everything else within the next 2 weeks. Pre cycle bloodwork will be posted as soon as I get it, most likely this week or next. I am open to constructive criticism, so please feel free to make any suggestions on anything that can improve my gains on this cycle.

I am currently weighing in around 207lbs. 5'10" tall. My 1RM on deadlift is 445, Bench is 295, and Squat is 315. My goals on this cycle are to hit a healthy 220lbs and put 50lbs on my deadlift, 20 on bench, and 20-30 on my squat.

For now, I'll be posting workouts and updates on my diet. Just a little info on my scheduling, I work graveyard weekends (Fri. night through Wed. night), from 11pm - 7:30am. It's very difficult to stay consistent with my eating 7 days a week, but I do my best...and I can definitely use some help with my late night snacks on shift. My job is not very labor intensive, so I try to keep snacks throughout the night limited. My off days are normal sleep pattern days, so I think that might be the hardest part of my cycle... maintaining consistent rest and eating habits throughout the week, coincidentally the 2 most important aspects of strength training.

Today's chest workout. Not as much as I would have like to get done, but I was working out with my girl so I just stuck to the basics. Was going to go in tonight for some cardio, but as of now...it looks like I'll be heading to the grocery store instead. Meal Prep Monday!!

good simple cycle but maybe you should think about increase HCG dosage while PCT and something for kick start ??

Running HCG during PCT is the least effective way to use the hormone. I won't be taking HCG during PCT at all. Actually, from what this information listed below explains, I should stop taking the HCG 2 weeks before my last pin, but I think I'll run it all the way until my last injection of Test. Recovery SHOULD be much quicker and using it on cycle should prevent testicular atrophy.

Since this is my second cycle, I don't want to introduce any orals yet, and I'd like to stick with adding only one variable at a time to my cycle. I wasn't happy with my first, so until I've got it down...I'd like to just keep it simple and take things slow.

Don't judge me too harsh.... cupboards were bare today, I'm actually lucky I got this close to my caloric goal today. Hit the store tonight though...Mozzarella stuffed meatloaf, Beef roast with sweet potatoes, and Sesame Chicken with rice on the menu for this week. Standby to standby!

Hit a heavy back session tonight with my better half. Pulled 405 for a strong double, then threw a couple 5's on to make it 415 for a single. Worked up to it obviously. Feeling really confident on reaching my goal of 500lbs by the end of this upcoming cycle. Got all my post cycle meds in the mail today (thanks to AEL for the extended Thanksgiving promo). Just waiting on one more order from Napsgear to start!! So freaking stoked...ready to make some GAINS!
