Training going well the last couple days. Met with an endocrinologist today who is going to help me monitor health markers and prescribe all my ancillary meds! He says he has done it a lot for guys throughout his career so we will see how things go. First official appointment with him is tuesday!

5'11 & 210lbs, your not too bad where your at. You are pretty lean, id focus on straight muscle building. I dont think you need the dbol to start, most guys first run should be just tes to get a good handle on what it will do.

Id maybe jump to 400/500mg for the 12wks, but buy a vial of prop or TPP instead of the dbol. After a tes only run, goto town, but just see how you respond to 4/500mg of T first.

Hey, GL thanks for the advice, yea I'm kind of on the fence about the dbol, it seems 50/50 where ever I look, some guys say test only and some guys say the dbol is fast acting enough that you will see the sides from that before the test ever starts to work. I'm still reading a lot and trying to learn more about the drugs before I start so we will see where the cards fall. The smart side of my brain agrees with you fully, but the dumb meat head part says "but you got a **** load of dbol bro".. lol

Well Dr. apt done. He prescribed Arimidex 1mg 2x/week, and HCG 100mg ED, he basically said if you're not going to start i'm not going to prescribe you medications to just hold onto for when you do, and that I would have to schedule another office visit at the time I decided to start in order to get my prescriptions, which would be another $70 on top of the $600 for initial consultation. Sooo, starting the week after next, labs ordered for 6 weeks after I start.. I guess it's go time!! Off to train chest and tris.

Haven't been keeping up with this near as much as I'd like. Training is going well. Ended up getting AI and hcg sooner than expected so I'm 1 week into my blast. Decided on running a much lower dose of test at 300mg/we and keeping the dbol at 20mg/day for first 6 weeks. Gained apx 7lbs this week. We will see what the next 11 weeks bring. No pics until atleast the 6 week mark.

lol yes jin strength is up a little! Definitelly bloated at the moment, I am excited to see how this turns out, so far so good. I'd like to end this bulk at 230-240 which I think is doable.

Well starting this last monday I have 11 days off of work, so I have been taking full advantage! Two a days at the gym, adding an extra cardio session. Same amount of working sets as I would be doing, but ive been able to put much more intent into my secondary exercises this way. Also naps, lots of naps so far.. lol I'm on day 9 of dbol and did my 3rd test injection on monday. I haven't needed as much arimidex as I got, I actually didn't start it until my 2nd shot of test and I'm only taking 0.5mg on my injection days. So far no high estrogen sides!! Strength has increased some, I feel like at this point majorly because of the bloat. Legs were on the schedule today, but I am only doing quads and calfs on my leg day now because doing hams on both back days and on my leg day was getting pretty rough and most of the time I ended up skipping them on the second back day anyways. So
AM session was just 10-15 minutes of bike sprints, I don't know the exact time, or how many I did because I just went out with my mountain bike and had fun with it. Followed by 3 sets of 10 on the ab roller.
PM session
Warmup
10 min treadmill 3.5 incline, 3.5mph
abduction/adduction machines- 50lbsx 3 sets of 10
seated calf raises-1 platex3 sets of 10
incline sit upsx 3 sets of 10
Workout
high bar squats- 275x10, 255x10, 245x10
hack squats- 1.5ppsx 3 sets of 10 ass to ankles
standing calf raise machine-260lbsx 12,10

So for anybody interested here is what a day of food looks like for me right now on training days.
meal1
4 whole eggs
1 cup of egg whites
2 packets of low sugar oatmeal
2 cups of skim milk
P-79, C-82, F- 25, Calories-925
meal 2 and 3
8 oz 90/10 beef
2 cups of white rice (cooked)
p-53, c-73,f-23, calories 750 (per meal)
meal 4
8 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
2 cups of white rice
2 cups of skim milk
p-71, c-100, f-4, calories 718
(here and there one of the meals 2-4 white rice will be replaced with tortillas for sanity lol)
intra workout
1.5 servings of gatorade powder and 1 scoop of bcaa's (right now with each workout so times 2, if I'm only doing 1 workout the whole 3 servings of gatorade is during that time)
c-33, p-0, f-0, calories 135
post workout (with the 2 a days right now this is after my main heavy session)
2 cups chocolate milk
2.5 cups rice crispies
p-20, c-110, f-5, calories- 575
totals, p-275, c-505, f- 81, calories 3,950
Meals 1-4 aren't necessarily consumed in that order. It varies based on when my workout is in that given day. On a normal day with one workout I try to have the chicken meal as my post post workout meal, so like 2-3hrs after. Right now I am having that after my lighter session of the day and the cereal and chocolate milk come after the heavy session. I try to keep the fattier beef and egg meals further away from workouts, but if I end up eating the egg meal pre workout I just cut out the whole eggs and add more egg whites, or protien powder to my milk. This puts me right at 4000 calories. If I am still hungry after that, I will do a meal replacement bar while I'm watching t.v. and winding down for bed which adds about 3-500 extra calories depending on the brand I get.
