First Timer (Epi Log)
I started this out with just a Word Doc log I planned on keeping but figured I should post it somewhere. I know I'm "new" as far as posting on here but I've been lurking a long time, and also definitely not new to lifting.
History:
Even though I had been lifting for close to 10 years (off and on) I never really took it seriously until december 2007 when I looked in the mirror and realized that while I had a good chunk of muscle, I was doughy. I took it upon myself to sort out my diet and get a workout plan to stick with. I started cutting down body fat and went from 200 lbs to a pretty lean 175 lbs by may 2008. It was during the summer while I was maintaining weight that I realized I'm pretty strong for my weight (or at the time I thought I was) so I became interested in strength sports (PL, and potentially any strongman event with weight classes).
I've been seriously working on my strength since August 2008 and was bulking from about October. Sadly this bulk wasn't always the cleanest.
Right now I'm 195-196 lbs. I'd like to hover right around 181 lbs and compete in PL there and perhaps cut down (water weight) to 175 for the lightweight division of some local strongman competitions in my town this summer.
Current stats:
Weight: 195ish
Body Fat: 15-16%
Maxes (last checked in april so probably higher)
Bench: 285 1RM
Squat: 350 1RM
Deadlift: 425 1RM
Total: 1060
Goals:
Weight: 181
Body Fat: whatever I'll be at 181 (I think around 9 or 10% if I lose nothing but fat)
And I want to increase in the big three for a total of 1200 (increase of 140 across the 3) (obviously more in the future)
I'm running a pulsed cycle of Epi to hopefully increase strength while losing fat. But I know like anything it's just a tool and it'll only be as good as the rest of my plan (diet and workout). I picked Epi after seeing several logs here and figured it was mild enough for my first run of anything.
Cycle Info:
6 weeks Epi (up to 40 mg on workout days (mon, tues, thurs, fri))
Sustain Alpha (4-5 pumps, not sure if I should use on workout days with Epi or on off days? Ideas?)
Cycle Support (As directed)
And I've always taken a bunch of Fish oil so that won't change.
Epi Week 1 (m,t,th,f):
10,20,30,40
Epi Week 2-6:
40,40,40,40
PCT:
I have Tamoxifen Citrate set aside and plan on running it but would like suggestions on how I should since I'm running my cycle pulsed.
I'll also be using the Primordial Performance recovery cycle.
Workout:
I've been following Westside type training for a while now and am impressed with it so will be sticking to it, while adding cardio hopefully in the morning or after lifting.
