Dear Shadow:
Have no clue who you might be, but you sound an intelligent and wise guy, we are lucky to have you around here, I ve learned a lot!!
I m a physique competitor, actor and model. 33 yo, being an athlete since 1995, 6 feet and half an inch, 200 pounds give or take. My questions are these:
-
Getting ready for a role and currently use 500mg of primo, 300mg of T, 40mg oxa a day, 200mcg t4, 3 iu GH, ( the omega labs owner is a friend of mine so I can get all that gear for real and cheap as hell), along with omega 3,SAW PALMETTO, vit c 2grams, vit e, melatonine, glutamine, bcaas, some green tea, some red wine for resveratrol and cardiovascular protection, whey protein… my cutting cycles looks like that. I never seem to past 90kg, guess to be a 95kg guy I might up the T to around 750 mg per week right? ( besides eating a surplus of kcals).
-
Do you think drinking a galon of water a day is a must for a guy 90kg of muscle? I attended a seminar of a eminence in nutrition and he said water depletes you Vit B and makes you nervous ( too much of it), 1.5 to 2 L to a normal guy would make it. Maybe 2.5 for a fit lean guy.
-
Muscular failure… is a necessity? Every time I train MF for 4 or 5 sets in a session, my CNS get fucked up and I feel like shit the other day so I opted for only go to failure for 1 or 2 sets per session. Now I can train 5 days in a row… when I went failure every set specially heavy, couldnt train more than 2 in a row.

I do smoke pot somtimes, makes me feel relaxed and I think relaxing is good for us which stress the body so much. I also use some propanolol to lower my heart rate when Im going to act ( once in a while), and use Xanax here and there to lower cortisol. Also try not to take life too seriously, arguing too much and I avoid the chaotic traffic of Mexico DF. I try to ejaculate several times a week in a vagina if I ve a gf and in different ones if I m single, I love the feeling and makes me feel relaxed and happy. I inhale deeply to oxigen my organs. Sometimes I wear earplugs on street, and I avoid noisy persons ( specially chicks) noise alteres me a lot and that might up the cortisol. I dont attend night clubs, hate loud music… listen to Mozart, etc… What do you think of these pratices? I hate stress.
-
I ve a problem with peeing. I wake up at the 5th or 6th hour to urinate and 50% of times cant sleep back, which lets me little sleep. Do you know any trick to increase my bladder size or something to not having to pee at night and be able to sleep 7 or 8 hours straight?

The TRICKY ONE hehehe… I fell in love with g flux but I dont know if Im overkilling it. . Weekly, I do 7 hours of weightlifting of course big compound exercises, I do about 90 min of cardio a day at 110 ppm, and about 1 hour a week of HIIT ( some sprinting, jumping,). At gym I do about 25 sets of the main muscle, about 10 sets of forearms, 10 sets for abs…thats 45 sets in a session.
That s a total of 15 hours a week of exercise… is it too much? I want to be 95 kg of muscle, not 88 or 90. Time is no problem, have many days off work and I do well financially fortunately, so I can workout as much as needed.
I estimated my BMR in 2300, I use to burn 1.200kcals a day training … so to be in a minus 700 to 1000 kcals a week to get ripped, I consume about 2500 to 2800kcals per day, sometimes I even do 2 hr of cardio ( I FUCKING love cardio and playing videogames or reading), train for 2 hours and eat 3000kcals a day!
I remind you I use 200mcg of t4 we dont have t3 here in Mexico, some burner and green tea, in my mind,a body which burn and eats SO MUCH, is gonna be leanest and stronger than if I only train 1,5 hours a day and eat 2200kcals in contest mode… . Am I right?
what do you think about this crazyness? cause I read you said some huge builders use to eat 2000kcals a day in diet and Im only 90kg Im confused, but maybe they use a ton of T.
MY DIET:
( before morning cardio 1 scoop whey, bcaas, glutamine, t4, fat burner).
- 75 gr oats, 1 isolated whey protein, 10 whites, 1 or 2 yolk,
- 250 gr chicken, veggies
TRAIN
3.after workout, 75 gr of oats, honey ( dont wanna mess with slin), 1 banana, 2 scoops whey, 10 whites 1 yolk
4.50gr brown rice, 250 gr chiken and veggies
5.250 gr chicken and veggies or salad, 1 olive oil tablespoon
TOTAL FOOD, about 320 P, 230 CH, 55 to 65 FAT.
Those are pics of when I was training 3 to 4 hours a day and eating about 2800 to 3000kcals a day not starving. Quite lean, but not shredded.

It depends if you mind the extra water weight that the test will give you. If not, then by all means you can go up to 750 BUT before increasing to 750 just try doing a 1:1 ratio with the primo so increase the test to 500 and that might work well. Diet is still the main key here and the biggest thing I see missing in your diet is the Plazma, this alone will help you gain muscle without changing anything else with the drugs but making your workouts more efficient and keeping your body out of a catabolic state.
Start with 2 servings of Plazma intraworkout and increase the test to 500mg. This will work great. If you add the Plazma then there’s no need for the honey or banana post workout. Post workout meal instead can be something like rice and lean red meat. Everything else in the diet looks pretty good.

I would say 1 gallon of water is a minimum. Not sure about what this seminar is but I have never recommended or consumed less than 1 gallon each day. It helps with literally every function of the body.
-
You’re on the right track here. 1-2 sets per session to failure is enough. All other sets should be 1-2 reps shy of failure. Keep it heavy but not to failure. It’s not a necessity to train to failure but it’s another tool you can use for stimulation, you just don’t want to overuse it.
-
You guys are making me laugh here in the part few days… I’m guessing you may have smoked pot before writing this post? Ejaculating in a vagina is pretty relaxing for most guys, no better stress relief haha. As for the weed and xanax…, as long as it’s moderate (no more than twice a week) it won’t hurt you but it’s not going to help you from a training perspective either. Moderation is the key word here. Listen to Mozart all you want… I don’t have experience with propranolol… Wearing earplugs in the street is a little weird but whatever works!
-
That’s pretty normal, a lot of people get up in the middle of the night to piss. If this is the case then it’s a good time to take your GH!! Adult diaper?

It’s hard to say if it’s over killing it or not. The amount of volume you can endure is very individual but this is definitely on the high side. I would suggest lowering the volume a bit considering you want to gain muscle to make sure you don’t over do it. Maybe 15-18 sets and just lift heavier instead of doing the extra sets. Do less work for forearms and abs…6 sets is more than enough for these muscles if you’re doing it everyday.
90 min of cardio everyday is way too much if you want to grow. I would lower this time to about 30-69 min and switch to some kind of HIIT. Spend more time lifting heavier weights instead of the extra volume and accessory work. Because you are lean and have a fast metabolism your best way to gain more muscle will be by lifting more weight and staying in a calorie surplus. I think the excess cardio is really limiting your ability to gain more muscle.
