-5 am I expecting too much from this really long cycle?

ad

Hello,

So, with a really good training regimen for hypertrophy, a surplus of 500 calories, and enough sleep, I wanted to add 15-20lbs of lean mass on my body and under a year.

First of all, I wanted to do a big cycle of 1250 test + 1000 eq for 30 weeks, but since apparently eq is weak, and take forever to peak in blood stream, I just decided to go with 750 test + 750 eq with frontload and for 40 weeks (with frequents ECG, bloodwork) and drugs/supplements to prevent LVH, Kidney damage, lipids off, etc..

So, my plan is 15-20lbs of lean mass, while walking really lean in 12 months from now. 40 weeks in bulk, 12 weeks of cruise to recover & cut (Total = 52 weeks/12 months). With a surplus of 500 calories, for 40 weeks (280 days) I will (without counting water & glycogen) be 40lbs heavier. am I seeking for unrealistic gains, or it can happens with a really good diet, training regimen and sleep?

Thinking I might give the gym a try tomorrow. At least this go of Covid didn’t almost kill me. Just glad I didn’t get it mid cycle and really screw things up.

Keep those fluids going, IV if you have to.

I bought these pedialyte packets which help with forcing down the water

That's good enough, whatever it takes to keep fluid down and hydrated. Speeds the recovery process obviously. But consider IV replacement if needed, to not get behind. It's easy and quick now, they even come to your house (used to do it PT for extra play around money lol). Almost forgot, you can customize the IV cocktail now, so could maybe go high dose Vit C mixed in to help too. Think I have a menu of the shit we could mix in it somewhere at home....

Just got through COVID, again.. third time around. Was down and out for two weeks. Shit is tuff and just hangs in there. One day you'll feel like your getting better followed by two days of shit.

It’s a long game there is zero get big quick answers so yes you’re being unreasonable and unrealistic…scrap that cycle or cut the length in half and see what happens it takes YEARS to build muscle not months or a year go over to the most well put together guy in you’re gym and ask him how long he’s been lifting guarantee it’s over 5-10 years and sure some are genetic freaks….answer me this how long have you been lifting and how long have you been running gear and then let’s talk

Are you 19 and 230lbs lean? Age and genetics will play a huge role in not only our starting points but how our bodies respond to steroids. Out of interest what is your age, weight, how long have you been lifting and what is your previous cycle experience with steroids? The cycle you’ve suggested is irresponsible so will naturally be torn down by people on the forum due to it sending the wrong message to newbies or people who don’t know better.

Claudezilla's picture

Again how long have you been lifting and how many cycles have you done…
