Ah, Mr Blackman,

All the best my friend in your 12 week quest for perfection. I am really looking forward to keeping up to date with this thread and also looking forward to seeing the finished article.
You have fantastic knowledge of AAS, nutrition and training so I know everyone will learn a lot from this, including myself. As the old saying goes 'knowledge is useless unless shared' and that applies SO much to this sport.
For people like me taking 'a break' from the sport, it is a great way to keep motivation high when aims and goals seem such a long way off right now.
You did well my friend to resist the temptation to compete last year and this outing will see what the fruits of you labour have yielded.
If you ever need a chat when 'the mind starts to go' give me a bell and I'll try to reassure you (if indeed you need it at all!!) as those last few weeks play tricks on you and this is when most people start looking for that magic bullet that will supposedly transform their physique. Dont try to fix what aint broke. You have all the tools in your bag to deliver a class and show winning physique and I know you will not leave any stone unturned in your quest!!

All the best Tom for what will be an incredible and exciting journey, not just for you but also for me and I am sure many others.

I am interested to see what the combo split course of gears will be.

Just a suggestion though, why not something like trenbolone for your androgen phase?

Anyway, I will be looking fwd to reading this 12 week prep.

**Tinytom** · 09-01-2007, 08:38 AM

Sunday night - 600mg Boldenone, 250mg Test Heptylate

Monday

6.00 - 5g BCAAs, Inner Armour Lipoxil fat burner, 125ml OJ

6.30 - 45 mins cardio

7.30 - CEE

8.30 - 100g Oats, Lecithin granules, Sultanas, Mixed Spice

9.00 - Protein drink - 45g protein

11.00 - Chicken and Sweet potato

1.00 - Inner Armour Whey Protein and Casein protein drink, Udos Oil

3.00 - Chicken and Sweet potato

5.30 - Same as 1.00

6.45 - 5g BCAA, Lipoxil, Test-9-Meth

7.00 - Train Hamstrings and Calves, Abs

8.00 - CEE

8.30 - Inner Armour Whey Protein, BCAAs, 50g simple sugars

11.30 - 8iu Hygetropin, 2mg Tanning Peptide, Cort Bloc (cortisol suppressent supplement)

12 - Bed

88kg Monday night.

This will be my staple diet for the next few weeks while I assess how much I am losing per week.

I also drank about 5 litres of water today and probably 4-5 cups of green tea.

I'm not too concerned about quantities of foods at the moment as I'm using these 2 weeks to assess my calorific needs. if necessary I will adjust protein and carb levels after 2 weeks.

I'll get some pics up tonight. Unfortunately I was pushed for time last night and so I didnt get any taken.

RAIKEY · 09-01-2007, 09:53 AM

i nearly said "good luck" Tom but i feel it always sounds lame,

because, at the level you're at and the knowledge you've gained regarding

the sport to put any of it down to "luck" would be an insult,.....

so i'll say well done so far, and i look forward to seeing how it all goes,...

**Great White** · 09-01-2007, 10:05 AM

Tom

Diet looks good mate, but there is a lot of carbs there no?

I make it around 150g - 200g

How come so many carbs? Im on less than that atm on this carb cycle diet and im 13kg heavier than you (Granted, im funking starving 24/7 atm)

supercell · 09-01-2007, 12:05 PM

Paul if you work out from Toms weight the number of carbs he should be on to drop bodyfat it works out at around 180g per day, which means what he is on now is pretty much spot on. As for 'a lot of carbs', I think not, a man with the kind of muscle mass that Tom has should be shooting for at least what he is on now and let the cardio do the work.

I have worked out that for Toms weight protein should be at 352g (88kg x 4)his carbs at 176g (88kg x 2) and his fats should come from his food and also a little udos or flax and be around 70g per day. Thus his total calorific intake per day would be around 2800-2900 Kcals. As time goes by though Tom may find he could raise this a little to fill up in the last few weeks before loading.

It really depends on the strategy Tom adopts and whether he does what I did (kept cals constant and upped cardio if needed) or whether he goes down the carb cycling route. Having personally done both types of diet, for pure ease and effectiveness the 'keeping cals the same' option was far superior, as there weren't so many variables. The only thing I did do once a week was have a 'clean cheat'.

Whatever option Tom goes for it will work, it is just down to personal preferrence and what 'suits' his body type and metabolism best.

If Tom does wish to bring a fuller physique to the stage then IMO he will have to keep his carbs at 175g a day at least and maybe even increase it a little at the expense of dietary fat. Tom is not afraid of cardio and that is the trick. More cals (carbs) and more cardio, keeps you fuller, fitter and gets you shredded whilst maintaining your muscle mass; I for one would do it no other way now.

James

**Tinytom** · 09-01-2007, 12:26 PM

Like the man said ^^^^^^^^^^

**Great White** · 09-01-2007, 12:30 PM

Hmm

Spot on info SuperCell - Thanks for that.

So, for me to be maintaining at the moment I would be looking at:

102kg x 4 = 408g Protein
102kg x 2 - 204g Carbs

Then about 80g Of fats from Udos / Fish Oil, etc.

I do cardio 5 - 6 times a week and train the same.

(sorry for the hijack tom - PM me if you would rather keep it off this thread supercell

)

supercell · 09-01-2007, 02:08 PM

You have mail, Paul

Very Interesting.

Ive been cycling carbs (without gear) and tbh Ive suffering and losing to much strength for my liking..

I think ill give this approach a bash.......

Im sure Tom will be in top shape whatever approach he goes for..
