Opening Statement: I hope this post comes off as educated, as I have been waiting patiently before posting and researching my ass off. I am not here to tell anybody that my diet is “perfect”. I am not here to tell anybody that I am “strong”. I am here to learn, soak up all the knowledge possible, and achieve the best physique that I possibly can. I am not ready to begin a cycle.
I have read T-Nation and other websites of the sort for years, yet I am still only at the tip of the AAS iceberg. This post is simply to verify that what I am soaking in is correct. I plan to possibly begin a cycle in the future, but I would like to work out all the kinks prior to starting. This is in the “First Time Cycle- NEED ADVICE!!” format, yet (as of now), I am simply posting to verify that what I am learning so far is correct. This post is purely educational.
Background: I’m the type of person that really wants to learn up everything I can about bodybuilding, nutrition, supplements, etc. Freshman year of high school I weighed 135 pounds, and had dreams of becoming a big-time linebacker. I really started reading hard, talking to people, and learning what I could. I took the usual protein and creatine, and lifted whatever I could off the ground.
By the time senior year rolled around, I was a 230 pound starting linebacker and became absolutely fascinated with what I could do with my body. I know, it doesn’t sound like much, but its something to this day that I am proud of. I have been lifting ever since, and am intrigued with cycling AAS.
Prior Cycles: I have run 2 cycles of Superdrol, with proper PCT of nolvadex.
Age: 23
Height: 5’11.5
Weight: ~212 pounds
Body Comp: ~16%
Goals: I would like to diet down pre-cycle, then gain lean mass with the use of AAS
Nutrition (Current): Diet is hard as of now, as I eat most of my meals out of an apartment cafeteria. I’m fixing up a place right now, and can’t wait to move in and cook my own meals. I avoid fats and carbs in the same meal. I eat a lot of chicken, turkey, and the occasional cut of beef. P+F meals are usually 2 chicken breasts with cheese. P+C meals are usually 2 chicken breasts with green vegetables. A serving of Low-Carb Metabolic Drive in the morning, a serving of fat free cottage cheese at night. Cashews, unsalted peanuts, and almonds thrown in for snacks.
Nutrition (Pre-Cycle): Pre-cycle I plan to strictly follow the velocity diet for 4 weeks. Would one of those week-long cleanses be good the week prior to a cycle? It has been something I have always wondered, but never seen discussed.
Nutrition (Cycle): Eat clean, but like a f***ing monster. Fasted cardio in the mornings on training days. HIIT on non-training days.
Training (Current): Have tried tons of programs on this site. My theory is that every program works in some way. I try to switch it up every 6 weeks. Currently I am on a 5x5.
Training (Cycle): Some type of HIT. DC perhaps.
