Hey ya'lls. I'm starting a little journal that i'd like to call "the comeback". But i dont want to get ahead of myself and seem pretentious. This will be a mini-abuser for now.
Heres a little info: Ive been off the gear-wagon for almost 3 yrs. In that time, my training became nonexistent and my diet was horrendous. I engaged in some pushups/dips/pull ups and on occasion, body weight squats/lunges. But this was futile and my physique deteriorated.
Ive used Z for years prior to my hiatus and always yielded good results. Ive run several logs here and on Ironmag as well. So, I'm sure with the right training, diet and gears (and God help me, muscle memory) i should get back in decent shape by the new year.
Im 39, 5'9" 195 lbs. Bodyfat has to be at or above 20% based on how i look.
I started the injectables 11-12 days ago, using aprox 200 mgs of tren/wk and 400 mgs of Test/wk. Im keeping things on the low-dose side until i acclimate. Once gains slow down and i adjust, ill ramp things up a tad.
I began the dbol 5-6 days ago @ 40 mgs. I waited to start the dbol so i could time it for the arrival of the olympic weights i ordered, which came on 10/18. I trained with actual iron for the first time in almost 3 years and It felt good. I missed that feeling. Truly.
On the 18th, I performed deadlifts @ around 200 lbs (4 sets), shrugs 100-200 lbs (4 sets), bicep curls around 100 lbs (8 sets) and overhead barbell presses around 135 lbs. (5 sets)
The 19th, Close grip bench for triceps 135 lbs and overhead Extensions @ around 80-100 lbs. Calf raises while holding the bar, i loaded up to around 200 lbs and did 5 sets. These numbers are a mere shadow of what was. I can only get better from here.
My diet is aprox 3k cals. Macro percentages: protein 50, fat 25, carbs 25. Ive had good results with this ratio in the past. I'll be training 5-6 days a week. Cardio probably 2 x wk until further notice. Id like to do it 4xwk but im being realistic.
Ill get some before pics up this weekend.
