Okay, if this is not the correct place, I ask the admin(s) to move it to the appropriate place - Thank you.
At 41 I have decided to try my first LOW DOSE run of a prohormones. This will start low dose as it is my first run... it may increase as I go
Thanks in advance to Rockoid for all the great advice!
Here is where I am.
Over the past several years I have tried a bunch of different supps, from powders to MYO-T12. Through this forum I have gotten nothing but great advice and I love this place for that!
I am not a body builder, nor would I lump myself in with those guys & gals on here that have such great dedication and drive to do what it take to "body build"
I have always been VERY small boned (not my third leg though...lol) and unable to put on a lot of muscle. (Even as a young guy in football, baseball etc)
I did get into lifting correctly (thanks to this forum) for a while and put about 30lbs of muscle on a couple of years ago. I ended up injuring myself and not only getting tennis elbow in both arms, but I blew out my back and right elbow. Because of that I had to stop lifting for a while and started P90X. This has been my bane. I re-injured my elbow doing it, and seriously hurt my Sciatic Nerve so bad I couldn't even tie my shoes for a month. Took 9 months to recover from that, and I have had 2 relapses. (What a drag it is getting ooooooold)... if you recognize that... you are dating yourself!...lol
I started lifting again and bulking again (if I can borrow the term), about 4 months ago. Nothing hard, just to get back into a shape where I can try to make progress again.
I will start by listing what I take normally anyway, then where I am going. I will be taking measurements and doing body fat as well with calipers. I will also include pictures. KEEP IN MIND, I live in a town of less than 5,000 people and the only gym within 30 mins is a Curves. I tried and they wont let me in there...lol So this is a home gym only log. I do have some equipment, and should have a rack shortly... in the mean time, I found a way to use my nautilus machine for squats.... moving on.
When I get rolling here (and I am gearing up), I will be taking in:
Approx 230-280g of protein per day mostly from meat.
Approx 2,800-3,500+ calories, mostly clean over about 8+ meals per day. ( i will take a picture of my freezers soon...lol)
What I take normally. ( I am a big believer in vitamins & Vit C... not sure why...lol)
1 Multivitamin 2X per day
3,000 mg of Vitamin C 2X per day
1 1,200 mg of Fish Oil 3,6,9 2X per day
600mg of St. John's Wort 2X per day
I have started taking in preparation for this last wednesday:
1,000mg Thistle Milk 2X per day
160mg Saw Palmetto 2X per day
Started using Nizoral AD every other day
What I plan to take starting Wednesday for 6 weeks:
All of the above
10mg Trenavar 2X per day
MYO-T12 1 X per day (I have some left over!...lol)
Organ Shield 1 cap every time I take Trenavar
25 mg Erase every time I take Trenavar
I will add 20mg Epistane in 2 weeks 2X per day
I may add Ultra Cissus if my joints start to hurt.
PCT will be 12 weeks:
Titanium XL 2 caps 2X per day
Organ Shield 2 caps 2X per day
25mg Erase 2X per day
20mg Epistane 2X per day
4 weeks Saw palmetto
DHEA 100mg once per day
Any left over MYO-T12
I will be getting at least 8 hours of sleep daily.
I will be doing P90X in the AM 6 days per week (but not their lifting discs, just Plyo, Kempo, Stretching, Yoga etc
Around 6pm I will be lifting (I feel better working out in the evening than the am... no idea why, prolly cuz I dont wake up completely until mid afternoon...lol)
I will start a food log as I go (I have some powders as well I will add to the food log), and a work-out log as well here. So people can see what I am eating/doing
Measurements & first photos will be taken Wednesday when I start the Trenavar.
Again, This is my first run so I am being very cautious. I am starting low dose, we will take it from there.
My goals? I am not sure what to expect... through diet & all of this, I would like to see my abs after all of this... I also would like to be a lean 180lbs or so... (I know, but at 5'7" and having been 140 my whole life, I got to 178 at 12% BF last time I did a log). I am sure my body fat is up there... almost scared to take it...lol I would like to add about 10-20lbs of muscle (retained) from this. But I will be happy to get through it all uninjured if I am being honest.
Well, that is it for now. More to come next Wednesday! wish me luck!
