Approved Log Bercos 12 Week Cycle Testosterone, Trenbolone, Anavar - Hybrid Athlete Cycle Log

[Berco]

curious to see what kind of effects these steroids have on you
surprised that you're using that much testosterone

Thanks for the feedback. I've used tren and test before in those doses. How much test would you use in this instance?

 

[Berco]

Never gonna see me do one lol

It was a challenge to cross over from lifting to do something entirely different.

 

[Berco]

what effects has tren had on your cardio?
it absolutely destroys mine

I don't find tren too bad, other than when I have a bad nights sleep/sweats (which I haven't had on enanthate, but did have pretty bad on on acetate). The AAS that I found to be bad for cardio were dbol and winstrol. Dbol blew me up and I felt the fluid in my joints when running. On winny I was over 95kgs and felt the impact on my joints even more so.

 

[Berco]

I'm sure that your cardio will take a beating on this stack
but it will be interesting to hear from you

I've experimented with cardarine before as well and found that it helped.

 

[Berco]

a half Iron Man has no joke
I had an ex-boyfriend do it before it takes a lot of commitment

The hardest part was learning to swim from near scratch as an adult in 6 months, so glad that part is over.

Nice start. I’ll be following along.

 

[Tiger Salman Khan]

Hey bros. Starting a log to detail a journey back into gym and the goal of maintaining my cardio in triathlon events. This is my 4th cycle. Previous cycles were:

1. Sust 250 (12 weeks) and dbol (4 weeks)
2. Test p (100mg eod) and tren ace
3. Test c, anavar and mast e

I’ll be doing a mixture of gym in the mornings following Jim Stoppani’s Project X workout and cardio in the evenings in the form of running, swimming or cycling Monday to Saturday with a rest day on Sunday. The gym is a body part split and info can be found here: https://www.jimstoppani.com/training/project-x-12-week-training-program/

Bit of a different training style, going for a hybrid athlete approach. In June 2024, I completed a half Ironman and my training up until then resulted in a significant reduction in strength and size and due to a poor diet, an increase in body fat. Currently sitting at 85kgs.

The goal in this cycle is to recomposition in the form of gaining lean muscle and reducing body fat. Also looking to break my PB on my deadlift which is currently 200kgs at 80kgs body weight.

Currently running Silverback Lab’s test e at 500mg a week, tren e at 250mg and anavar starting at 50mg a day and increasing up to 80-100.

Calories are at 2200 consisting of clean meals, being:

P: 250
C: 189
F: 48

Calories will increase based on results and cardio.

Starting with the first pin on Wednesday, 17 July 2024.

@Berco Good start bro.......

It’s directly from the website where the program comes from. I can remove them, it’s how the data transfers from my phone.
