Hello! I'm very excited to be here and super glad I stumbled across this forum, thank you for having me. I was almost ready to give up my hopes and dreams of becoming a freak of nature lol (I'm only kidding...sorta 
)
About Me (Story time!): I'm 33, living in Ontario, Canada, been lifting consecutively for 2 years now after a lifetime of sedentary PC gaming, and have been making very good natural gains from my observation, but it could use a little more of a push to achieve the physique I'm aiming for within the time span I'm planning.
My first year was spent putzing around, riding high on the newbie gains, overtraining, and just generally mucking about in the gym. Year 2 is when I really started to lock in and go 110%, taking diet, training plan, and recovery more seriously.
I became a big fan of Mike Mentzer, Dorian Yates, Tom Platz, and Lee Priest and consider them by far my biggest (hah) inspirations for pursuing the sport of bodybuilding. I visited my first pro show in Toronto a few months ago and from what I witnessed, and the people I interacted with, like a religious conversion or finding your long lost family, I knew I had to pursue bodybuilding competitively, as soon as possible. Therefore, I've given myself a timeline of 2 years to achieve that goal with an enhanced regimen.
STATS:
Age: 33
Height - 6'4"
Weight - 215 lbs at last weigh (Down from 245 lbs at start)
I don't know my BF% but I reckon 20ish
DIET:
I'll be super real, I don't measure shit, dont crucify me please
A typical daily meal looks like this though:
- 1lb regular ground beef (75-78g protein)
Packet of Uncle Ben's rice (because I'm lazy)
- A handful of frozen mixed vegetables
- Whey protein shake (75g) w/instant coffee, 12 oz whole milk and water for volume
- 1 canned chicken breast (50g) w/ tablespoon of avocado mayo, black pepper, thyme
- 3-4 hard-boiled eggs (18-24g)
- Little lunch tray of assorted berries and nuts, and small garden salad bowl and single packet of balsamic vinaigrette from the supermarket to snack on at work.
If it matters, I prefer to workout fasted as I have more energy, and feel sick if I eat anything before training.
VITAMINS & SUPPLEMENTS:
Below is a detailed list of everything I take daily, everything is assumed the minimum directed dose on the label, because I can't remember exact mg numbers.
PRE-WORKOUT:
-Start off with a hot cup of bone broth with a scoop of collagen powder
- Testosterone Support from Iron Kingdom
https://a.co/d/07ZFvOIR (it includes things like Shilajit, Maca root, etc. Although if I'm being honest I think I'm just being suckered by the marketing)
- HMB+D3
- Saw Palmetto+Pumpkin & Flax
- Omega 369
- Creatine Monohydrate 20g
- C4 Sport pre workout mix
POST-WORKOUT:
- Whey protein shake (75g) w/ BCAA, 12oz of whole milk, and water for volume.
- Ashwagandha
- Magnesium L-threonate
- Magnesium Biglycinate+Oxide
- L-Theanine
TRAINING SCHEDULE:
Monday - Upper Body
Tuesday - Lower Body
Wednesday - REST
Thursday - Upper Body
Friday - Lower Body
Saturday/Sunday - REST
*I employ all exercises with generally 3 sets of 10-12 reps as heavy as I can within an effective ROM to failure while maximizing TOT as much as possible. I begin or end (depending on how I feel) every session with 20 minutes on the Stairmaster*
Upper Body:
- Incline dumbbell chest press
- Behind-neck barbell shoulder press followed by single arm dumbbell shoulder press
- Wide grip cable rows followed by close grip
- Wide grip lat pulldown followed by close grip
- Assisted dips because I'm a
- Cable flies for that strrrreeeetch
- Finish with deadlifts with a few bent over rows in between
- Archer pulls if my shoulders are bugging me
I have not included abs because I feel like I'm gaining enough definition from them through indirect stimulation using active core engagement during my routines, but you may have adverse opinions, and are welcome to share.
Lower Body:
- Double then single leg Quad extensions
- Ham curls, same deal
- Wide, then narrow stance Leg press followed by alternating single leg press
- Goblet squats because barbell squats hurts my lower back quite a bit and aggravates my hip flexors for some reason
- Standing calf raises
THEORIZED FIRST CYCLE PLAN - RATIONALE & LOGIC:
Are you still with me? Good! I know it's alot, but I've got quite a bit of ground to cover.
It pretty much makes my head spin from the noise and information-overload surrounding PEDs, especially regarding phase specific cycles and stacks and PCT protocols. But I've narrowed down what I believe to be the right compounds given my research, but more than welcome objections and alternatives. I plan to run these compounds on a 12 week cycle via weekly injection followed by an 8 week PCT
COMPOUNDS:
- Sustanon 250
This compound was chosen because I like the idea of a blend of esters VS picking one individually. I feel like this eliminates alot of the guesswork for me, and if I don't respond well to it, then I can try single ester compounds and eliminate from there.
- Deca-Durabolin (Nandrolone Decanoate)
This compound was chosen specifically for, but not limited to, the reported joint therapy aspects by users. IMO I read "silky smooth joints" and was hooked. I've suffered from aches and pains my whole life so this sounds like a dream come true for me.
- Dianabol
This oral compound was chosen because it reportedly pairs well with the other compounds I am contemplating, and to assist with their effects as I dont intend to run such high doses of the injectables (probably 500mg or less, unless otherwise advised)
PCT PROTOCOL:
Clomid and Nolvadex are supposedly the recommended protocol, unless otherwise advised. 3-4 weeks after last injection on an 8-week schedule if I recall correctly.
That's it guys, that's my story. Please let me know if I missed anything. I'm very eager to hear your thoughts and opinions, and with your help I look forward to embarking on this path.
Thank you so much everyone!

Thank you so much everyone!
I dont typically eat subway. The post was merely a practice run to track food since I've never done it before. But I agree with you 100%!
) so I don't know what's in it numbers wise and I'm not gonna say no to free home cooked food! But it looks like brown rice, lentils, beets, sweet potato, and lemon chicken with a scoop of Greek yogurt. Delicious!
Your turds must be like bricks lmfao
