Just wundrn what I should expect going into week three, I hope to get to 220 pounds. Im wrkn out 5 to 6 days a week for 1.5 hrs a day bf% is around 12% just guessing

It is a function of how much protein and fat you eat, 5000 calories per day, low carbs.


The test will kick in about week 4

How long are you guys running the test? I am getting ready to start a test e cycle at 500 mg' per week as well

libido should be going UP! week 3-4 you will see and feel the difference. hope you took "before" photos and measurements. PROTEIN!!! You should be able to hit 220! That is a reasonable goal.

Yup week 4 is when you will usually visually notice a change in your body composition.

my first plan was to run 12 wks but I have enough to go 15 so im just going to use the gear up and do a 15 wkr... I think for my second cycle I will do the same but kickstart with some d-ball for the first 4 wks and add a cutting aas or something

What is totall on that...

 

[rake922]

Wow this is a weird post to stumble onto because I'm 2.5 weeks into my test E cycle..

I started at 210 and now I'm 221.

Ironically, my diet is nowhere near as good as the orignal posters.

 

[nicee]

What is totall on that...

well my original diet that I had when I was training natt was identical except for the protien powder which was more than double what is on my diet now,and the total came to just over 5k cals clean however I was told that I would ruin my kidneys with a ratio of 49%protein:the rest in carbs and fats,so I decided that it would be a good idea to tweak the protien intake a bit.. soo now my cal intake is just over 4k ,(being an ecto im always hungry) come to think of it those chocchip cookies are lookn pretty good right about now.... No musnt stray from the path

You are not gonna ruin your kidneys from too much protein, that is a false myth. Just make sure to continually drink a lot of fluids...mainly water.

About your diet...

* Bump up the protein drinks to 50-60grams.

* Meal #2, add some sort of carbohydrate with the can of tuna. Maybe even a Tuna sandwich or two, using whole grain wheat bread. Pumpernickle is also good.

* Immediately after your workout, have some sort of 50-75 grams of protein drink. Then wait one hour and have your next meal (see next tip).

* Swap meals 5 and 6. Your last meal of the night will benefit more from the solid proteins (chicken/beef) to give you a flux of absorbed amino acids while you are asleep at night. The milk proteins will form a solid in the stomach once in contact with HCL, thus it too will be a slow release of nutrients/protein throughout the night. The vege's may slow absorption as well even further. Meal number 5 will be more easily broken down, thus it will be more beneficial to have it as the meal following your workout and post-workout protein shake. So that is my reasoning behind the swap.

* One last thing you can do, as some have found it beneficial...is to sip on ome sort of dextrose drink while you are training. I use the Lemon Lime Powdered gatorade sometimes (not completely glucose though). It doesn't have to be much...and dilute it.

That's what I would do and/or suggest.

Good luck buddy!

Good thread going here.. Just one question..
What about throwing, say 25mg ed of dbol for about the first 5 days for someone starting a cycle like this??

thanx bro for reinforcing it's ok to eat allot of protien and not burn your kidneys out to me protien is the #1 building block for mass soo it would only make sense to eat allot of it. also it would make sense to swap meals 5 and 6 for the long lasting protien delivery at night. I have been thinking of doing this anyways as I have been waking up in the night hungry as a bear my stomach noises acctually woke up my woman

No problem man!
