The 'Colorado Experiment' two point oh

[IronLion2]

This recent gym lay off has been very good to me; my vision is razor sharp, my goals are clear, I have the motivation, and my body isnt just healthy it's thriving. I've been doing rehab week three times a day at the minimum to make up for the lack of movement, this has really fixed every inch of dysfunction and pain in my body, it's crazy I didnt try some of these things sooner.

Anyway at the rate i'm going i'll start this upcoming blast at 185-195lbs @ 7is% bodyfat and i'm PRIMED to blow up. I'm super dense and functional at 200lbs currently, my physique is pretty gnarly despite everyone telling me heavy lifting "doesnt build muscle" this is by far the best i've ever looked this lean. I'm glad I chose to stay away from the DNP, especially with how crazy lifes been.

I've been jonesing to make a weight class leap to a full time 198 which means i'd need a lean weight of around 210 and off season weight of 220. I keep trying to do this but the bodyfat increase fucks up my leverages and ends up becoming a burden on my mechanics, this attempt at a weight gain will be less dependent on a surplus in calories and more about eating enough to increase but not much more. Macros of around 350/250/150, one of the biggest changes will be the insulin window will be post workout so pre and intra carbs are much lower, i'm also going to up the post workout fats by using whole eggs and olive oil to increase nutrient density in the feeding window.
Example of a day;

Meal 1: Steak, Avocado, Orange, Oatmeal
Pre/Intra: Gatorade
Meal 2: Eggs, Bagels, Cereal, Almond Milk (on off days switch meal for tuna salad)
Meal 3: Chicken, Rice, Olive Oil, Greens (on off days switch rice for potatoes)
Meal 4: Steak, Avocado, Orange, Oatmeal
Meal 5: Free Meal

My hormones will be as followed;

ED (AM) : 45 Test E + 45 Test P + 25 Mast P + 25 Mast E
Pre: 25 Dianabol (inj) + 25 Anadrol (inj) + 25 Winstrol (inj)
Post: 4-8iu Gold Tops + 10-50iu Novolin Regular
ED (PM) : 25 MK-677 + 25 Proviron + 10 Lisinopril

Gear is from keytech and gearmazon

I'll be switching over to more of a DUP style of periodization but there's alot of concurrent and conjugate elements involved. We're constantly making subtle changes to the training stimulus to push past weaknesses in the chain of movement rather than just focus on volume or load for competition style lifts. We're going to be using some gear during training even though I want to compete raw, I believe I can get more volume that will contribute to better conditioning that way.

Sounds like you got a plan and are determined. Keep us posted on how it goes.

 

[IronLion2]

Wow 30 fucking more days :/

Guess I'll just order some syntherol and expirement during the break.

 

[Delt123]

How tall are you? Curious to see what you look like!

lots of pinning there, on trainingdays, you pin twice if I read that right?

5'11, i'm more ectomorphic with relatively small joints so the 200 im currently sitting at looks much bigger than most guys. I caught myself with good lighting today and was very please with how much more developed I am, WHILE BEING FLAT, it's one thing to just be juicy and full but the past year i've developed real tissue in my upper back, chest, and hamstrings.

I usually only take pictures once or twice a log but I think this one might be nice enough that I need to.

Pin 3x on training days, thats a lot of pinning but it's never more than a 1ml 29g pin so i'm not worried, I also dont sweat to miss a single daily test/mast injection.

 

[IronLion2]

Since this layoffs going to be extended I'm going to add in some conditioning work that's aimed to increase performance in weak areas like my hips, core, and lumbar. This is a great time to hone my skills. I have three kettlebells, a pair of dumbbells, a tech bar, a bar for pull ups/dips, and a home made yoke that doubles as farmers handles.

Goals are to perfect single leg squats, kettlebell snatch or cleans, planks, carrys, and iso hoods.

 

[IronLion2]

Going to say fuck my idea on AAS. Going to continue 150 TestP 150 MastP until the gyms are open than run trest and test enth with test base.

Something like
75-200mg Trest Enth
300-550mg Test Enth
25-100mg Test Base before mx days
20-100mg Proviron ED
5-10iu Gold Tops w/ Log before de days

Ralox/Adex/Telma/HCTZ will take care of estro and fluid retention. Will look to increase the trest/test dose as high I can with as minimal adex/ralox as possible. After that will probably add tren base with the test base, maybe other injectable pre workouts. All depends on the trest dials in, I used it at 75-175 Ace for like 6 weeks before.

 

[IronLion2]

Finalized a LONG blast;

30 weeks
Tu/Th/Sa .33ml of each TestE / MastE / MentE for a total of 250/200/100
M/W/F .5ml of each TestB / TestP for a total of 150/150
Sa/Su 10iu of Humalog twice
M-Fr 5iu Growth Hormone before bed

Everyday ancillaries of:
55/d "Prolox" (Proviron + Ralox)
30/d "Ciagra" (Cialis + Viagra)
80/d "TelmiprilHCTZ" (Telmisartan + Lisinopril + HCTZ)

Gyms will be open in my area within the next few weeks. I've started to up my conditioning work with steady state cardio everyday and twice a week GPP. Looking and feeling like a shrimp at 201, only on 100 TestP / 100 MastP and I think cruising on EoD prop is a bad pick but it's whatever.

 

[IronLion2]

One of the most important parts of this whole process is entering back into it without destroying myself again. My mobility and explosiveness are through the roof. Looking to transition with;

Week 1: GPP and cardio
Week 2: Dx, GPP, and cardio
Week 3-12: Raw Mx, Dx, GPP, and cardio
Week 12-30: Geared Mx, Dx, GPP, cardio

We're not going to up the kcals till week 12 so I'll learn out even more which will be wild. Anyone who thinks powerlifters are fat come check my glute veins.

I started my blast in a similar position as yourself just a bit heavier at 205, 5'10 and 8% BF. Its funny to me reading what you wrote because I was also looking at it as being primed to blow up. I started off depleted and flat with the goal of being functional and able to play sports again.

Currently sitting at 223lbs. Thats me in my avatar at 219.6lbs.

Looking forward to seeing how your log goes man. Hopefully it gives me a few ideas of things to do in the near future.

Current pics?

I'm playing with fluid balance in the body right now, if I actually do a good job I'll snap a pic. I'm sure you know how shitty you look when you're dehydrated and can't carb up, that's where I'm at now. Add that to a very small cruise dose and no workouts and I'm fucking flat dawg.

Right back at you buddy

In another note the TRT experiment has gone poorly. I've never fully understood the value of A:E but it's real, when test is only at 100mg having the test dose equal to the mast dose has my physique more flat and soft than prior. The addition of dyazide at 12.5mg in the AM didnt hurt but as soon as I up the test and down the mast i'll see a better result.

 

[IronLion2]

Current weight 196, bloods confirmed my electrolytes are skewed and my blood iron is down from adding in the ancillaries too early, as a result my physique is soft buy my cardiovascular capacity is through the roof. My vitals are absolutely perfect with resting heart rate in the 70s, morning blood glucose of 76, and BP in the 110s.
