This is to return the body fat to single digits and maintain strength along with overall size. I would expect to finish my cycle with the same weight as I currently have, perhaps even a bit more. I would like to keep this a smooth, short cycle.

I'm jump starting this with dianabol, basically 3 x daily until the oils take over. For this reason, I am not putting any winstrol for my last four weeks, the dbol's are going to make my liver profile change, I am certain, as I pretty much abuse them. I won't put how much; that might make people think it is normal. I will drop them by week six.

Test/Tren/Mast - what can be said about this stack? I don't do rip blends as there is no real control unless one could get a pharmaceutical company to make it and I have never seen that done. I have edited this to be a low test/tren cycle. The masterone is strictly prophylactic for beginning and then up to a nice drying effect closing out the cycle.

Diet: Chicken/Rice/Egg whites with lots of Mackerel and Salmon to maintain healthy fats. Fish oil tabs daily, normally about 6g - generic omega-3 (I only use 1g daily routinely). Lots of leafy green vegetables and up to two bananas daily helps me with all that Clen/T3. This could go on forever, but I pretty much run a 3:2:1 ratio on Protein/Carbs/Fat with a beginning with 350g protein on cycle, 200g off cycle. I never allow more than 60g fat in the beginning of my cycle and I cut it down below 20g at the end of the cycle.

Clen/T3 - Well, if you don't understand it, don't go playing about. Remember that it is MICRO grams, not milli. The first time I ever went to use this, someone gave me a schedule in milligrams and lucky for me I always take the first 200 articles on any gear and find a common theme before adopting any advice. I put an asterisk beside some of the higher doses to indicate that these are the levels where many people get heart palpitations, mineral deficiency, or worse side effects. Even with me, I find that I cannot always attain these levels on certain name brands over others. Ramp up, ramp down, give the Clen a rest... many people will say to keep two weeks off between the Clen doses, I prefer just one. I have found that almost everyone has negative effects on Clen at 200mcg and T3 at 100mcg, so I would advise that no one really 'plan' for this level... it would only be if the body is tolerating the dose... and then I would suspect the medicine as underdosed as I have never tolerated those doses longer than two or three days. NOTE: If ever planning Clen/T3 at the higher doses... have 'fresh supply' on 'one' medicine for that portion of your cycle. Don't be taking Clen or T3 at those high doses of one supplier and then switch suppliers at that dose. If you get a more powerfully dosed meds at something like 160mcg-200mcg you can well put yourself in the hospital... or worse. If you have to change supply of a med like Clen or T3 at high doses, drop your daily intake a bit and ramp back up. It won't hurt a cycle, but it may save your health.

Pinning: Just going to do the Mon/Thu thing as it is long esters. Will go M/W/F if I feel flat spots, but good meds should be just fine at two times weekly? I might switch all my oils to short esters and pin ED for the last four weeks... will see how I feel.

PRE CYCLE PIC:

I read and please tell me if I'm wrong shouldn't clen be run 2 weeks on 2 weeks off?

workingout's picture

That is definitely the conventional wisdom for Clen; I like it with just the one week off.

So, you're thinking of finishing up at 220 in the single digits BF wise. Let's say 9%. Let's see how that breaks down. At 15% BF @ 210 you have a LBM of 178.5 lbs. 220 @ 9% would be a LBM of 200. So, you would need to add about 22 lbs of pure muscle to reach that goal while losing 12 lbs of fat. In 12 weeks. Not going to happen bro. So, first, rethink your goal and make it attainable. Second, unless you are prepping for the stage, I don't think the use of clen is reasonable and T3 (thyroid manipulation) is out of the question. Irongame's comments below are also on point. The whole cycle needs to be redesigned, but first let's establish a goal.

workingout's picture

Great and reasonable response, thanks. Man, maths do not lie.... drop 12 lbs fat = 198... subtracted from 220 = 22 lbs. I get about five of those pounds right from the rip as the muscle tissue sucks up the water, but add a nice drying out finish to the cycle... well, that was sort of 'phantom' weight.

If I could hold at 210 with a 9% body fat, I would be pretty damned happy. Give me another ten pounds of muscle over the year and that would be great. Goal: Maintain Body Mass while losing 6% body fat.

Clen/T3: Addressed below, so I would mostly respect your statement and stand beside it for most persons, however; this is indeed the cycle I will do. I have done it before and it works with proper diet and exercise... this is a 12-week cycle and the 12-pounds of fat will go away.

Downright awesome responses on this forum, I greatly appreciate the time people put into it. Thank you.

You know Mike Matarazzo died three days ago at 48 from a coronary. Last year there was Greg Kovacs and and Nasser el Sonbaty also in their 40's.

Tren lowers T3 and if you wand to use, say 25 mcg to combat that, I'm with you. I'm not with you on using it as a diet drug and we now know clen is not the safest drug for the heart either.

The arrogance you're showing here is going to ultimately bite you in the ass. Stay safe bro.

workingout's picture

I hope that you're mis-placed on the arrogance; possibly a suicidal tendancy as I know you are correct in your facts, this Clen/T3 regime can kill a person... not today, but down the road. Actually, yes, today, but most likely down the road. I'm just short of personal trainer certification and I am aware of how serious the effects on the heart are where it works so hard to maintain that increased BP. You're talking me seriously into keeping the T3 down a bit, so thanks, but I am still going to run it up to 75mcg. Anyone side reading this conversation, don't take it lightly, that extra 25mcg is pretty big and I'm no small person either.

I have three weeks before I start this cycle (actually loading the test/dbol now) due to a shortage on the trenbolone (I hate to cycle unless everything is on hand) so I have time to tweek things. I'll shoot you a FR and hopefully you will be around for me through the fall season, which is certain to have its little bumps.

Look, I'm no saint either. I compete and all my shenanigans with T3 and T4 over the years have left me with permanent hypothyroidism and on T4 for life. More pills to take forever. So, when I advise people that are not getting ready to go on stage to stay away from the thyroid meds, I do it because I personally know where it can end up.

workingout's picture

Thanks, because that kind of honesty is hardly given publicly.

Well first off you don't pin mf, every 3 days is best but Monday Thursday or Sunday Wednesday will be fine. Second what's your cycle history? Start your test at 750 and tapering down is an absolute terrible idea. You will literally never achieve stable blood levels you will get so many side effects it will be crazy. 750mgs of test and 250 mgs of tren is a bad idea. Watery mess. The tren is 5 times Stronger then the test so it's gonna win the battle to the androgen receptor. The test should basically just be used to maintain your manly functions you wanna just let the tren do all the work. The more test you add the more side effects you will get. The majority of people get a lot of side effects with high test low tren. And is your mast dose 50mgs ed or is that really weekly ? And could you explain your clen/t3 cycle it's hard to understand on the cycle logs. I really wouldn't advise using those drugs especially clen. Studies have shown it can damage the heart and high levels of t3 are also terrible for the heart. Especially when your levels spike so dramatically when you dose t3. So just give me a brief run down of your proposed clen. /t3 use. Doses and legnth .

Thanks for the input, I have come back to senses and adjusted to a pretty basic test/tren at 250mg test and 750mg tren weekly (trenbolone ramped up from 250mg to 750mg) tapered down the last two weeks of the cycle. I believe 250mg tren will hit me sweetly for the amount of time I have had off and I will let the body dictate when/if I increase. My experience with tren tells me I will be at 750mg by the end of the cycle unless I find some really clean meds.

You are right, the 5:1 ratio of tren makes high test idiotic. Hahaha, I wondered just 'why' I was actually putting this in public forum.... HOMEWORK, that's why. Get some opinions before we go killing ourselves.

The Masterone is only in there as a prophylactic medicine rather than using any oral AI. At 250mg weekly of test, sides are really non-sensible to me, but I do have to face the inevitable conversions in my body and I use the Masterone simply to act as a very mild AI for the added estrogen conversion. It also helps me if I feel sides from the nor-19 to identify it as progesterone sides and not estro. Now, those last four weeks I will run the Mast ed, M-F and I will use this for a bit of drying out and for vascularity. I could just as easily use Winstrol, but with Mast, I get just as good, I avoid one oral or water based injection and I personally feel it is a bit easier on the liver.

Ancilliaries: I keep caber and aromisin on hand with a slightly outdated letro. I have ancient Nolva from an old PCT kit, but as I am TRT (naturally) I don't PCT. My history is enough that I know I won't be using any of these, but they are on hand, just in case.

History: I am actually not much of a heavy AAS hitter. I ended up on nor-19's and test by medical need, and it just happened to help. Weight lifting wise, I have a solid 28-years for health and only during a good ten year run did I ever get 'big' hitting a body mass 100kg with minimal body fat, somewhere in or near single digits. I looked great, but the shoulder gave out and I ended up on Nandrolone for that joint. Testing bloods before taking Nandrolone, it was noted that my test levels were low, so there I was on test/Nandralone Decanoate by age 40. By that time, I was pretty wasted away and scared to death of heavy weights, but the shoulder held out like no one's business and my lifting results went through the sky. Where my shoulder used to fail me, I was able to cross the threshold and not by a few measly pounds, we are talking 30-lbs above my old maximum lifting within six-months, for repetitions. I started low and pretty soon was cycling pretty high (for me). It did not take long for me to want that Nandralone power, but also cut up and tren was pretty much the mirror image of deca as for risk/sides and I just switched one day.

So basically, I have used all the usual suspects in the AAS lineup, but my preference is Test/Tren. When the shoulder acts up, I tend to drop the tren and run NPP/Deca in its place and just tone up later.

Goal: So, we'll get real about things and adjust this goal to rip up the body to that single digit BF and hopefully not lose body mass. The last time I made anything like single digit body fat, I dropped to 205 pounds and while people comment on my size, I feel small. In the end, I do this for me and whether people think I am big, shredded, or even small, that does not matter nearly as much as how "I" feel. I love lifting and sculpting and had I not had an order against me for massive child support, I would have been on cycle the last four years, but it is difficult to spend several hundred for a cycle when one owes for their kid. Well, it's paid now and I plan to return to fitness with a bit of selfishness.

Clen/T3: I don't push this program on anyone or even advocate it really. I have done this cycle before and it gave me the results I was after in 12-weeks, which was almost twice the fat loss I am after this time. This is strictly 'for me' as I want to get the shape back this cycle. I don't recommend the high doses for anyone, but the nature of Clen demands it really. The body adapts to it so quickly. T3.... well, again, this is just personal. There are certainly two groups out there, minimum, ones that believe it will ruin my thyroid system, ones that don't. I do monitor BP and HR regularly and daily on high doses.

In summary, I plan to start the Clen at 40mcg and T3 at 25mcg (I always use 25mcg t3 when running tren) daily. Due to the body's adaptability to Clen, I plan to increase dose by 40mcg each week until I have either (a) hit the maximum safe limit; or (b) hit the ideal body fat. I find that I am 'never' shredded enough, so it just happens that after about eight weeks of Clen/T3, I have hit the highest dose my body can tolerate.... usually a BP of 161/100 which is where I pull the plug on the program. As such, the length of the cycle is 8-10 weeks with a ramp down. I don't just jump off the meds.

Diet (2): Now, one thing I take religiously when putting my body through something like this is absolute unforgiving diet. No candy, no fatty foods and even my cheat nights are limited to a fatty ribeye with potatos a bowl of cashews. I am a believer that diet controls the program and I take it as religion.

Damn ok, very detailed response lol. So here's my suggestions, don't ramp up or taper down your test or tren just pick a dose and go with it. All this tapering does is give you unstable blood levels which causes side effects. Something like 250mgs test and 500mgs tren would be fine. Next idk why your running the clen like that or where you got that info from but it's probably the worst way to do it. After 14-18 days on clen it stops working, and as far as I know this isn't a dose dependent thing meaning if you up the dose it's not gonna help. If you really have to run clen stare at 20-40mcg and increase by 20 each day or two until you reach 120 and keep it there for a few days and taper back down to like 60 or so then come off. This all should be one over 2 weeks. You can do a little more reading and see if the taper at the end is necessary. Apparently Benadryl or ketofin will prevent your receptors from up regulating. And I don't think there's much reason to go above 50mcg of t3 that's enogh to really ramp up your metabolism without being to catabolic to your muscles.

But as you know diet is everything. I personally would not mess with clen, but that's just me. The effects on the heart are scary an t3 can also cause problems with the heart.

I can certainly give all of this a try. There's not much fat to really lose so perhaps experimentation is not a bad idea where the experiment is being safer and less radical. Thanks
