Typical day

EOD - 1 Corona with a handful of wasabi peas
once a week:
pre show red bull to get through that last show night and have a good pumped start on the ephedra session

2 pint's cider
Big fucking expensive burger with salad. (high qual. beef)
2 notes:
- I'm an expat living in a country with very little western food options. There is no health food store here, we get what western/imported food we can. Unfortunately its not a country with delicious local cuisine. Its piss poor quality noodle based heavy metal laced fish head shite.
- My goal is not competition shredding. I'm looking to get a little cut but mainly to enjoy the added strength in my work and training and the long term hyperplasia. I know it's not good to drink while 'on' but once a week I will continue to enjoy 1 or 2 drinks with my colleagues and blow off the stress of our high intensity and dangerous job. I supplement NAC, R-ALA, Vit C, B complex prior to these drinks and am on Milk thistle the whole time.

Fair call on the Red Bull. I knew it was an indulgence. I can swap it for an espresso.
Shows = my work... High intensity acrobatic/wushu/stunt shows 8 - 12 times a week. I work in a circus.
Where do I train? The circus I work at. The warmup area has equipment.
Pre show involves a quick intense cardio warmup + 45 min of kicks, jumps and martial arts weapons drills.
Post show usually 45min to 1 hour of lifting combined with core, fitball, and pilates exercises + stretching
I feel the banana's and berries keep my glycogen levels up during the shows. Last thing I want is to feel fatigued while going for a roundoff backsault over someone elses sword.
I think I have to be clear here that I'm not aiming to gain mass or even get BF down to single digits with this cycle.
My goals are not those of a bodybuilder though I tip my hat to the subcultures relentless determination and appreciate the advice of those more experienced with pushing the human form to new extremes.
My reason for the cycle is I enjoy the increased strength in my work. I recover quicker, can jump higher, DO enjoy lifting heavier. I feel strong and fast and enjoy bringing that to my character on the stage.
Life's too short to be average.
Cheers for your advice.
