1st Bulking Blast Log

[Slowww]

Friday: rest+END blast
Final Weight: 102kg
Blast duration Approx. 10 weeks

So gyms will remained closed. Going into cruise now. Dropping test dosage and HGH dosage, tren completely, NPP completely.

Will cruise on 300mg/Week 5iuHgh ED (1g less than blast) and will use Adex sparingly ad hoc. 1/2 pill a week to start. (Blasting was 1/2 pill EOD)
kCal will stay at 4500 ED to maintain

Summary of blast:
Overall blast was successful, made good progress. I am happy with results, sad I had to cut it short again.

I gained 12kg and expect to lose about 2kg of water by the end of the cruise period. Still happy with results despite having to quit the blast early again because of covid lockdowns. Respond well to nandrolones, no real issues regarding sides. Tren didn’t wreck my relationship and my wife doesn’t mind the tren use, so long as I don’t wake her up at weird hours. Happy about this since I heard a lot of horror stories about relationship problems. Some other lifting folks also did a natty or not on me after I posted a pic on one of my socials & then just asked about it flat out so I guess I’ve made clear progress lmao.

Mood is fine on nandrolones, really love NPP, tren is fine, over two months sleep gets a bit shitty and libido definitely gets out of control. I know I have been a bit over the top w/ my wife and I’m gonna leave it at that. Will be using long esters next time. Gonna go with Deca and Tren E or Hex next blast. I really heavily prefer 19-nors over DHT derivatives. No shedding whatsoever so it was definitely the Primo and Var that gets my hair a bit.

Strength made improvements in terms of 1rms and in high rep range. I didn’t really train for 1rms at all but they went up significantly.

New current 1rms are:
Squat: 200kg
Bench:140kg
Deadlift: 233kg ( I expect to break this the next time I test 1rm as I have been getting 175-200kg DDLs into hypertrophy high rep range and estimate 1rm is about 245kg doing 175kg for sets of 12)

Next short term goals:
Cruise: maintain new mass/1rms
Get rid of excess water, get a better idea of actual weight and LBM without the deca/test bloat.
Return BP to optimal range. Get lipids, liver etc in check.
Do bloodwork.
Get cardio up to par for my new weight, I’ve definitely become less mobile, a bit slower when grappling and gas out way quicker than I’m used too. Before I could go 5 rounds in competition and potentially not feel gassed depending on the pace, and now im slower breathing heavy after a couple and really need to push hard as hell in practice A lot earlier.

Coach is going to write up a new plan for next blast to get prepped for powerlifting meet/keep building mass. I will shoot for the 100-110kg weight class in December.

If you’ve followed along thanks and have a good one!

Shoulders are def my weakest movers. Working on squat depth & hypertrophy,

Weight: 101.5kg

Feeling better off the tren tbh. Only been a couple days since last pin but with short Ester I can feel a difference.

Hunger is huge now, gonna be easy to maintain/gain because I want to eat all the time. I didn’t realise how tren wrecked my hunger. Especially past 8 weeks hunger took a solid hit.
Libido is getting easier to manage, & mood is getting better definitely less angry at small shit.

Coming off the tren I can see there is a clear and significant effect on quality of life.
Being totally honest though it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make because I can add 5kg to compounds and accessories every week or so w/ 300mgs and saw my squat go up damn near 50kilos, same with deadlift when I test 1rm again. I definitely plan to run it again and blast before i try a powerlifting meet.

Mon:rest

Cruise will add primo and remove arimidex as estrogen control. I will pull blood during cruise to dial in E2, I’m shooting for 40, felt good at 40 on my last cruise. I feel like the last blast had me consuming a lot of arimidex, perhaps abusing arimidex. Going to reduce hCG use as well, 375 EW.

as the hcg protocol already resulted in a pregnancy last cruise, I want to be less aggressive with hCG protocol to reduce estrogen and spend less on hormones.
I am also less concerned about Primobolan’s effect on lh/fsh for the same reasons.

Tuesday: back
Weight: 101kg

All 3x12
Rows: 120kg
Deadlifts: 160kg
Horizontal Pulley: 75kg
Wide grip pulldown: 60kg (I have injured my lat, these hurt if I go heavier)
Close grip pulldown: 70kg

Feeling more energy since dropping hgh dose, a lot of water/bloat already came off.
Joints feel a lot better since I’m not working up to top sets, that are as heavy as possible recently, dosing HGH so high, and because BJJ gym is closed due to covid, my joints are getting a solid break from being abused.

Gyms will hopefully open Later this week... at home workouts just feel so gnarly on CNS compared to machines for accessory exercises.

Since I will start prep for powerlifting comp in December I am going to change coaches for a bit. I think I made a lot of progress w/ current coach, and I really like his coaching for body building. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone interested. However, I want to give the powerlifting competition a real effort, with a coach who will update a powerlifting program periodisation on a weekly basis (micro cycles) and give specific tips about form.

I learned a lot about bodybuilding from my coach and hopefully I can learn a bit more about developing power from someone with a lot of experience. After this, I will continue to add mass, likely with the same body building coach.

As of now it’s been about 9 months of bulking natural and on gear gaining around 60lbs since starting training for hypertrophy. I would like to see about how my body responds to another training method on gear as well. I am
Assuming I respond best to higher rep ranges/bodybuilding, since naturally I have poor genetics for static power.

It’s all part of a learning process and in the end serves the same goal. Again since I’m not particular concerned with physique right now, just becoming big & strong so this seems like a sensible time to start a power building cycle rather than waiting until I hit 112kg.

Updated goal of ~120kg remains the same as of now but short term goal is now the PL comp. I will start a new log when I begin powerlifting training.

Friday: rest
Weight: 100.2kg

Stopped losing weight and started gaining again. Glad I can keep the 100kg and still make gains with this diet on cruise. Last cruise it was so hard to make gains, just due to caloric intake.
Without tren/nandrolone I definitely feel that recovery took a hit and with the amount of compounds on this split/no machine work i am way more fatigued than usual, got DOMS for the first time in a while.

Powerlifting coach recommends a maximum of 4 days training for optimal strength gains l, so will be training 4 days rather than 5.
