Planning to begin April 15th.
My last few months
Ive been off all hormones including TRT for atleast 2 months. I havent trained at all in 5 months. Sex drive is zero, libido is zero, zero energy, depression etc. Of course im not doing myself any favours by not exercising.
Ive had deaths in the family and another family member diagnosed with a terminal illness 10 days ago. And have suffered a drug relapse after being clean for over 5 years. Thankfully nothing resulted in any lasting reprocussions other than getting myself a new clean date.
Current Physique
Guys (and gals) it's BAD. Ive always had higher bodyfat. Like a lineman/90s powerlifter/strongman type body. I'm within 5 or 10 lbs on the scale of when I stopped lifting but my body composition has gone to shit.
Currently 6'4 320-330lbs. Typically I make 330lbs look half decent in my opinion, but right now I look like an alchoholic truck driver who has never lifted lol.
Goals
I'm currently 36 years old turning 37 in summer and had been a high end athlete growing up. Playing baseball with various scholarships and opportunity to say I was technically a "professional" baseball player for a time. Altho my salary of $1303.57 monthly wasnt too brag worthy lol. Since then ive looked for various things to compete in, getting into car audio competitions for years..setting world records there etc. But now my goal is to claim the raw canadian bench press record in the 275lb class and the 308lb class at the same time. Realistically at my age I feel as though i only have a few years left to push the training, food, drugs, and bodyweight before I'll have to come down to around 250ish and live more comfortably. But 1st I need to go for these records.
I believe the current records are 541lbs and 523lbs. My plan if all goes well is to gwt my bodyweight in the range of around 285-290lbs and cut weight to make 275lbs...ideally get the 1st record...then the 2nd completion I can bloat up another almost 20lbs if need be. Not to mention the record is 18lbs lower in 308 than 275 class. I dont care if both records are broken the next day...i just need them.
Plan
Luckily I have an incredibly supportive woman and will essentially be able to make my own hours with work to work around my lifting/sleeping schedule.
I plan to start on the 15th of april with 2 weeks of keto. For a few reasons. To drop my bodyfat/bodyweight down dramatically. To decrease my insulin resistance. To adhere to a type of diet for the first time in a while.
I will slowly re-introduce carbs around workouts after that 2 week period. Likely starting post workout..then intra+post...then pre+intra+post. And likely hold there for a bit to see how that works before adding more in my actual meals.
For gear I plan to add test as soon as possible at 250mg/week. Paired with deca at a low dose to start of 300mg/week and likely increasing from there to around 600mg/week. While waiting for the deca to kick in I'll be running superdrol at 10-20mg for 3 weeks. Which responds amazingly with me. My favourite oral by far, Altho I have a few I havent tried yet.
I'll also be running MT2 both for vanity reasons aswell as it greatly helps me cut fat (I assume by lowering insulin resistance) and plan to homebrew my own injectable l carnitine for months down the road.
I hope to essentially spend April to August focusing on GPP to work. Staying healthy, dropping bodyfat, improving my physique, my cardio etc and the strength will come...iy always does. From August to next April my plan is to then focus on strength with a number of phases or waves building up my strength more and more until I'm hopefully at a respectable number in the high 400lb range bench comfortably and consistently by April 2022. Which then leaves a final 4 month push of the food+sleep+drugs to get me that last 50lbs on my bench and make a run for these records.
Sorry for this being so long winded.
There's a lot of emotion that has gone into this planning. And above all else I suppose I dont care do much if anyone even reads this...i just want it public to remain accountable.
At the Very least..16 months from now I'll look a whole lot better than i do now.
Lets do this...
