Naps cycle Log

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 poundages did you use?
 
What poundages did you use?

I will start logging those as they get better….goal now is to get used to the volume…I have a tendency to lift more when I write poundages, which wears me out faster..give me a couple weeks to get my endurance back
 
Here is why I have to be careful with how much I lift….this set me back a year at least…pic taken a day after injury and got worse as the week went along:

Ok so…back in the gym…no the theory here is that I will have a second evening work out where I will do lots of cardio….so…maybe….anyway here is what I did this morning:

Incline dumbbell presses:
2 sets 15, 1 set 10, 1 set 20

Decline bench press: 1 set 15, 2 sets 10, 1 set 20

Flat bench press: 1 set 15, 2 sets 10, 1 set 20

Dips: 4 sets 15

Incline dumbbell flies: 1 set 15, 2 sets 10, 1 set 20

And that was it….now off to the sushi buffet [emoji12]

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

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.

Well back at the gym today….did a whole body thing:

Dumbbell bench press: 3 x 8

Squats: 3 x 8

Dumbbell bicep curl: 3 x 8

Tricep push down: 3 x 8

Ok all for today….
 
Example of a meal…40 pieces of fish for lunch
d3f25a1a22f8c8a550052157ba6f3cd2.jpg


Looks tasty and macros are great on fish!

I personally cut way back my eating fish due to the pollution in the oceans now.
 
I have to eat it to get all the protein I need….luckily a ton of great places around here

Fish is a great source of protein, make sure you're getting at least 1.5-2 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight.
 
Ok Arm day:

V bar push down: 5 x 20

Rope curls: 5 x 20

One arm tricep push down:
5 x 20

Straight bar push down: 5 x 20

Cable curls: 5 x 20

Hammer curls: 5 x 20

Rope push down: 5 x 20

Preacher curls: 5 x 20

Dips: 5 x 20

Straight bar curls: 5 x 20

Sooo that is 1,000 reps….ty try the veal…don’t forget to tip your waitresses
 
So….why all the fish? Well mainly bc I can eat a lot of it. Red meat and chicken fill me up quite a bit more and I am trying to get enough protein. I don’t like protein shakes so I try to get everything from real food. I AM thinking about doing a protein shake like in middle of the night (I get hungry then too).
 
2nd dinner…my plan is to eat some sweet potatoes…then later more oatmeal bc it keeps me full…

Sorry…I really suck at food logging…hope this gives you an idea…snacks are usually fruit and nuts…I know I need to eat more green stuff

don't do mid night protein shakes. let your body rest/repair at night without interference
