Now that the maintenance phase is going well, I’m already looking ahead and planning the next lean bulk.
The current idea is to run:
- Test E – 500 mg/week
- Deca – 400 mg/week
- EQ – 300 mg/week (mainly because I struggle to eat enough food, so I’m hoping the appetite boost will make hitting calories easier)
- HGH – 6–8 IU daily
I’ve also been reading a lot about insulin and originally wanted to include it in this bulk. For now though, I think I’m going to postpone that idea until the next cycle. I want to spend more time researching it properly and understanding how to use it safely before adding another variable.
The plan is to focus on progressive overload, a clean calorie surplus, and maximizing quality tissue gain. If progress eventually starts to stall later in the bulk, I might bring in Anadrol for an extra push. Luckily, I grabbed some during a 50% off sale, so it’s already sitting in the drawer waiting

.
For now, the priority is building a strong foundation, staying consistent with training and nutrition, monitoring health markers, and making the most of the maintenance phase before ramping things up again.
