So, I decided to do a log as I go through this cycle to get input from the brain trust here as I go forward. I plan on updating weekly throughout the cycle, or more often, as issues or interesting details emerge.

Cycle Details

Cycle is a 12 week Test E/Tren A cycle.

Test E at 600mg/week (Saturday/Wednesday pins). Tren A at 100mg/EOD.

First Test pin was Saturday night. First Tren pin was last night. No side effects yet

Beginning Stats (measurements current as of this morning):

37 years old

6’5”

228.8 lbs

13.8% BF

Waist = 36.5

Hips = 36.5

Right Biceps = 16.5

Left Biceps = 16.2

Chest = 42.5

Nutrition:

I have calculated my TDEE at 3414 cals.

Daily intake plan is:

Training Days at +20% (6 days/week) = 4097 cals. Training day macro targets are 298g Protein/545g Carbs/80g Fat.

Rest day at -20% (1 day/week) = 2731 cals. Rest day macro targets are 298g Protein/96g Carbs/128g Fat.

This puts me on a weekly surplus of 3500, or a pound per week without the assistance of AAS. Initial thoughts, I don’t know how I am going to stuff that many carbs down on training days. I eat VERY clean. No junk. Current plan to hit that macro includes waxymaize in my post-WO shake and lots of sweet potatoes, fruits, berries, and brown rice. But I am a little worried about adding too much belly fat in the process...

Training:

6 days/week

Current Schedule:

Monday – Back & Abs

Tuesday – Hamstrings, Calves & Cardio

Wednesday – Chest & Abs

Thursday – Quads, Calves & Cardio

Friday – Shoulders, Traps & Abs

Saturday – Biceps, Triceps & Abs

Sunday – OFF (Cardio if feeling it)

When I hit the gym, I try to make it a point to hit the gym hard. I try not to waste time while training. Get in, get out, and get the work done. I try to train hard. Not on the verge of passing out every single set and rep, but always trying to keep the intensity high. Try to limit rest between sets to 60-90 seconds and when I feel really good, sometimes make the rest even shorter at times. Longer rest periods if I am doing heavy squats or dead lifts, say 120 seconds.

Goals:

Gain as much mass as possible, while limiting unwanted fat gains. I am a FFB, so now that I have uncovered my abs, I am admittedly a little obsessed with them.
 
Glad to see you're going to log your cycle, and im sure this gear will be legit! Since you are running tren and you eat clean i'll bet you have no trouble keeping those abs in view, but expect that they may blur a bit, maybe. Even if you dont post them you should take a bunch of pictures so you can see the before and after. when i do this i take all my pictures in the same place, same distance, smae camera (and if you have a window in that location take em at the same time of day). overkill? no fuckin way, i like to murder the variables to see what has really changed.

Im really new to the game so i love to read a complete log of someones cycle. you better finish it BC or ill set my internet dogs on you! lol, i wish i had internet dogs;)

EDIT: i just re read your post, i thought you liked your abs! then i see your abusing them all the time (joke). seriously though, im curious what kind of workout you put them through that often?

Thanks, attic. Don't worry about me finishing this log. I plan on logging like Captain Kirk!

I have taken my before pics. I just need to figure out how to post them here. I lost about 85 lbs. a few years ago doing P90X, so I understand the importance of progress pics. Plus, I am just as OCD as you about same lighting, camera, poses, etc. I even wear the same shorts in each pic. LOL.

I plan on measuring BF, arms, chest, waist, hips, thighs, and calves each Sunday night. I will probably take weekly progress pics at the same time, too.

Re: ab training. I usually do an ab circuit as a "finisher" on upper body days. For example, after a back workout this morning, I did 2 sets of hanging leg raises, 2 sets of Russian twists, and 2 sets of sit-ups/v-ups.

Tomorrow is a lower body day. I will try to do 10-15 minutes of HIIT cardio at the end of that session.

Wednesday is chest day. My "finisher" is planned as a circuit of 2 sets ab wheels, 2 sets bicycles, 2 sets crunches.

And so on...
 
I am still struggling to figure out how to get 500 g of carbs in on a training day.

I try to pay attention to nutrient timing, as well as just target numbers. So, I try to eat most of my carbs in the 4-6 hour window after my workout (essentially through lunch). Then, in the afternoon, I try to focus on switching over to more protein/fat meals.

Any advice on how to get carbs and still eat "clean"?

Does anyone else think my calorie (or carb) totals look too high anyway?
 
BC you lost 85 lbs on your own? That's incredible. Good for you Bro!!

Thanks, bro.

It was life changing, for sure. As a result, I'm went from being a couch potato to an OCD fitness/nutrition nut!

I didn't eat enough calories when I did it because I was so uneducated about nutrition. I got to 195 lbs and felt like I looked like a marathon runner. That's when I became obsessed with the nutrition component and focused more on bodybuilding fitness.

Three years later I'm 35 lbs heavier, but have kept my BF in the 10-13% range throughout. Lean mass is king, but it's slow to build!
 
Thats great man, sounds like you have really put in a lot of thought and effort in regards to your health/fitness, I'll definately be looking forward to following along!!
 
Dry rolled oats for carbs, 1c ~300 cal/56 carbs.

I buy in bulk and run them in all of my shakes. It's way easier to down 2+ cups of dry oats in a shake then trying to eat the same amount cooked.

You ever grill a banana PB sandwich? Cut up the banana, layer the pieces of bread(preferably whole wheat) with PB, and throw it on the pan for a few minutes. The melted PB is a damn mess so you'll have to eat it with a fork but it's a great bulking food and goes great with a tall glass of milk.

I ate a couple of those a day on my last cycle.

That sounds awesome! I'm going to have to work that into my macros ASAP.

How's the gear working for you?
