Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my planned second cycle, diet, and overall strategy to get leaner and stronger, and I'd appreciate any thoughts or advice.
Current stats:
- Age: 42
- Weight: 80 kg
- Body fat: 13.5%
- Previous cycle: Just finishing my first cycle (Turinabol & T3), had great results—dropped around 4% body fat, gained 3kg of lean muscle.
Second Cycle (planned for 6 months):
- Testosterone Cypionate: 250 mg/week
- HGH: 4 IU/day
- T4 (Levothyroxine): 50 mcg/day
- Turinabol: 30 mg/day (first 6-8 weeks)
Additional support during cycle:
- Proviron: 25 mg/day
- HCG: 250 IU twice/week (500 IU weekly total)
- Arimidex: 0.5 mg every other day (as needed)
- Liver support: TUDCA (500 mg/day), NAC (600 mg/day)
- Other supplements: Omega 3, ZMA, Ashwagandha, Berberine, Vitamin D3/K2, Glycine, Collagen
Diet Strategy:
I'm planning on using a cyclic diet approach (Carb Cycling) structured as follows:
- High carb days (2 days per week): around 300-350g carbs, moderate protein (200g), lower fats (50g)
- Medium carb days (3 days per week): around 150-200g carbs, protein around 220g, fats moderate (60g)
- Low carb days (2 days per week): carbs 50-80g max, protein 220-240g, fats slightly higher (~70g)
The goal with this approach is to maximize lean muscle gain, control fat, and maintain insulin sensitivity throughout the entire cycle.
Training Routine:
- Cardio: 30-45 min fasted cardio every morning (running or cycling, mostly zone 2)
- Weightlifting: 5 days/week split
- Evening bike sessions (zone 2 cardio, 45-60 min)
- Yoga/mobility: daily (2x10 min sessions)
Goals:
My main objective is to further lean down to around 10-11% body fat, gain quality muscle, improve overall endurance, and maintain good health markers throughout.
Any suggestions or feedback based on your experiences would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
