Naps cycle Log

Oh…forgot some gear porn:
4bc231a13d09b96e2b6db991d11a0304.jpg
 
Greetings everyone! I have been fortunate enough to be chosen to run a log for Naps! The timing works perfectly as I have a cruise in July and likely will be entering their larger Get Shredded contest.

For those that don’t know me, I have been a long time lifter who has been a contributor only many boards. I have tried just about every product out there so am confident I can give good objective feedback.

As far as me as a bodybuilder, frankly the last couple of years have been rough. I tore my pectoral muscle nearly 3 years ago. Then last year got covid then pneumonia which caused breathing and sleeping issues for me for months. After fighting through that I finally feel like me again! My strength is about 90% of where it was and after a couple surgeries my breathing and sleeping are nearly back to normal.

That brings us back to now and the goals for this log. While my strength is back again, I have paid little attention to how I look. Consequently, I am much more round than before. I am sitting at 196lbs and likely 20% bf. Far from the 15% I usually carry. Therefore the focus here is a body recomposition. My hope is that through a better diet and focused training I can get back to my normal body (perhaps better).

The cycle I am running is one I have done many times and it always works well. Test, Masteron and Tren. Recently I discovered ment and used it to help get my strength back. Wanting to keep this, I am using Ment as a kicker. I have only been running it 4 weeks at a time since all I have read says to run small cycles. My plan is to slowly work the tren in (using longer ester) and taper ment off as Tren starts kick in. Maybe they work great together, but I will let someone else find that out. Yes I am not planning on any more kids (fixed anyway), which is a big problem Ment presents.

Meals? Ok, real talk, I suck at logging food. I am super busy at work and breaking out an app to figure out how much sugar is in something annoys me. SO - I count protein amounts (2 to 1 ratio) and little else. I eat a crap ton of fish and chicken, brown rice, veggies rinse and repeat. I DO like to take pictures of my food (faster), so expect some instagram ready food pics to be peppered in.

Work outs-I am not married to any one approach. What I try to do is find something I like, do it 2 weeks and then do something else. I tried this 1,000 rep arm work out last week…took forever…was fun though…Please feel free to make suggestions here. Oh the standard info:

Age: 49
Height: 5’10
Weight: 196
BF: Too much
Years working out: 37
Years experience with gear: 28

Well that is about it. Log starts tomorrow. Before pic coming soon.

What are the dosages you are using? Interesting switching the Ment out for Tren. Can you lay out how the cycle looks? Def following!

400mg week Test throughout

Ment at 50mg a day

Tren starting week 3 at 400mg a week

Masteron at 500mg a week last 4 weeks

I like Ment way more than tren but worry about running it too long. The effects are similar but I find Ment kicks in pretty much on day 1. Don’t feel like crap on Ment, get some water retention but sides have been tolerable.

This brand is new for me…so I know anecdotally what to expect, but I am not adverse to changing dosages if need be. Most likely I would back down the test.

Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to the log. Was thinking of running ment instead of tren later this year.

The days you feel tired increase your protein intake, once you do that your body will recover and reenergize faster.

Might just be the AI as I usually feel like crap after taking it. Protein is pretty high to start but I guess I can add some non-food options in there like a protein shake. I try to keep things real food but won’t hurt to try.
