Hello all,
I began my test and rad cycle yesterday and am excited to post a log for the first time and seek input and guidance from the community. I am 22 years old and have been lifting on and off for about 4 years and have gained some decent size given inconsistent training and eating at a surplus only sometimes, but I wanted to jumpstart my growth as I know I have a lot left in the tank. I also go bouldering 1-2x a week and getting crazy recovery and strength gains with that would be so sick, i currently max out at v4.
Stats:
22 years old
Height 5'6
BF% 13%
Weight 160lb
Planned Cycle
Week 1-12 325mg/week test-e : split into 2 doses/week
Week 1-5, 8-12 10mg/day rad-140 (bump up to 20mg per day for 2nd round)
Week 14-16 PCT: Enclomiphene Citrate at 12.5-25mg/day
Supps:
Creatine
Beta alanine
Citruline Malate
Taurine
Citrus Bergamont
Garlic extract
Coq10
NAC
Glucosamine w/ MSM
Magnesium Glycinate
Vitamin D3
Vitamin C
Omega-3 2500mg
Zinc
Gycine
My blood work (CBC, CMP, Test, E2, LH) was perfect I had no cause for concern there. Going to get mid cycle bloods not sure what to get though outside of CMP, CBC, and E2. For those curious: total test: 590, Free test: 91, E2 in healthy range.
I am planning to bulk this entire cycle starting at 3500 cals for weeks 1-3, 4k weeks 4-7, and 4.5k weeks 8-12 and back down to 3500 during pct. I also track my diet via MyFitnessPal. Macros: 55% carbs, 25% protein, 20% fat. The goal is to gain 15-20lbs and retain at least 8-12lbs of lean muscle post cycle. Seems lofty of just test and rad but im still shooting for it.
I regularly track all my lifts and don't really have a set plan other than 6x a week (chest/tri, back/bi, legs (either quad/calves, hamstrings/glutes) with a rest day every 3 workouts but keep most exercises consistent and with a mix of strength and volume(emphasizing volume and hypertrophy rep range during cycle). Abs afetr every workout. cardio 3x a week.
Todays workout:
Chest/tri 5/22
I plan to also track sleep as well with my apple watch but I forgot to charge it for tonight. Going to start taking fasting BP every other day as well.
Looking forward to the next 3+ months with you all!
