How to gain MASS (12 week off-season)

[SJD]

Starting stats​

Age: 20
Height: 180 cm
Starting Weight:85 KG
Goal of the cycle: off-season mass gain phase, i would like to reach 95KG with 12%/14% BF

PED Protocol​

Duration: 12 weeks
List of compounds:
-Testosterone cypionate 250 mg/week
-Trenbolone mix 150 mg/week
-HCG 1000 IU/week
-Tamoxifen 5 mg/day if i notice any progestin or estrogen side effect
-Cabergoline 0,125 mg 2x week if i notice prolactin increase

Training and nutrition​

I'm currently following a high volume high frequency medium intensity modified bro/split for a total of 6 training sessions per week consisting of 24 sets per muscle group adding one set per week at least (hamstrings,chest,quadriceps,shoulders,back,biceps&triceps combined).
My diet is really hard to follow and i don't recommend anyone to follow it, i'm currently using macros at 55% carbohydrates 35% protein 10% fats, it's really low on the fat because i need to push more with the glycogen since i'm doing a really high volume and high frequency style of training and this really helps me to push.
Supplements i'm taking:
-creatine mono 5g
-NAC 2g
-garlic extract 150mg
-multivitamin generic 1 capsule a day
-joint complex (MSM 500mg mainly) 1 capsule a day
-vitamin B complex 1 capsule a day
-pre-workout on demand i will mention when i use it
-cialis at 10mg when i want to shoot some great photos or i would like to cheat on my diet to control blood sugars
-apple cider vinegar 20ml usually before dinner

Progress and notes​

in this section i will update any changes or addition to my log with the date it happens

Good morning, my friend,
Thanks for sharing your protocoll.
I had a few questions:

• What was the reason for switching from Testosterone Cypionate to Testosteronee Enanthate?
• Do you think the Arimidex dosage might be on the higher side?
• Have you considereed incorporating Telmisartan for kidney protection and support of the RAAS (renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system)?

The reason I switched esters was because on the driada site there wasn't any test Enanthate available so I ordered the test cypionate, I might adjust the arimidex based on how much I feel the nipples and yeah probably split in half, and my creatinine levels are fine on cycle so I shouldn't be so cautious with telmisartan...

Damn good! So that’s what 12% body fat looks like .

By the way, there’s always this question about body fat percentage. How did you determine yours?
I recently came across a reel where a guy got tested and was told he had obesity — 20% body fat. His home scale also showed 20%. But in reality, he had a contest-ready physique and looked absolutely shredded (based on your 12%, he was probably closer to 8%).

For some reason, your photo on the right reminded me of the physique of athletes from Arnold's time. I’m not sure why, maybe it’s the muscle definition and shape, but it feels like you're from that era. Сool!

I got some of Arnold genetics but I really can't tell why, since my father was an orphan...

Welcome to my personal log where I’ll be tracking progress throughout my second PED cycle.
The goal: achieve a lean, full, vascular look while slowly recomping from 87.5 kg to a solid lean 100kg.

This thread will include:

• Daily physique updates
• Adjustments to training, diet, and compounds
• Notes on recovery, energy, pumps, and side effects
• Photos after training with feedback
• Calories adjustments in my diet

I'm currently running Test+Mast+Anavar with a strategic use of fat burners and cycle support supplemens, following an Arnold split 6x/week, and increasing calories gradually.
Drop questions or share your own experience with recomping cycles and don't forget to leave a like

Today's workout: chest&back (forearms light work too)
Today i will start introducing anavar progressively untill i reach the 30mg mark for the cycle, first two days will be at 20mgs with the other compunds i'm taking (check the other thread)
I felt really good training, i used hypermax'd out pre-workout which i really enjoy and had a great volume in my workout, i even added 2 extra set of machine crunches at the end

 

[SJD]

Today's workout: shoulders and arms
I took 10mg of anavar pre workout + my usual go to pre workout
Felt social and good during the workout, I follow a high volume training so the pump was really great too
Awesome experience

Today's workout: legs
Amazing workout, I took 10mg of oxandrolone 1h before training I had a quick 50g iso whey protein shake 30 minutes before training and took 15 mins before entering the gym the pre workout edge of insanity (psycho pharma), I destroyed my legs...
No really now I'm trying to get home but I feel like a turtle, I went so heavy I can't walk as fast as this morning.
Btw this morning I weighed myself and I went up in weight (90kg finally first goal reached) and I feel amazing, not putting any fat on is really what I aim for

 

[SJD]

Today's workout: arms and calves
Took my usual 10mg oxandrolone pre workout with a ultra white monster, nothing else, I felt really good energy throughout all the workout and had a decent pump even tho I didn't take any pump pre workout, this day I was also really social and focused on the workout, I am grateful of this day

 

[SalvatoreCorvus]

Have you ever tried taking 40-60mg of anavar before workout?
