I've always believed that "you don't have to be a scientist to do experiments with your own body". With that in mind following
my fat loss experience as outlined in the first article of this series I decided to show what could be done with regard to
muscle growth on the UHT program, with a bulking diet and chemical assistance. I think this may prove a little disconcerting
to some of our readers, as the "truth" about getting big quickly is not pretty, and although one can minimise the
accumulation of bodyfat, some gains of "the bad stuff" must be accepted along the way. In attempting to gain as much lean
body mass (MUSCLE!) as quickly as possible I allowed for a pretty huge calorie intake and a fair bit of chub along with the
muscle. Those with a little more patience may wish to stay leaner. Right, disclaimers over, prepare for the horror of the
"before and after!".

Larger in all directions as you can see! At the starting point I was around 10% bodyfat, by single point caliper test. I ended the
20 week experiment at 16% bodyfat, using the same single point caliper test. Knowing how much I weighed at the start and
end, along with bodyfat percentage at each, allows us to work out the amount of muscle mass gained in 20 weeks.

Start = 189lbs bodyweight. 10% fat = 19lbs fat. 189 - 19 = 170lbs of lean body mass.

End = 245lbs bodyweight. 16*% fat = 39lbs fat. 245 - 39 = 206lbs of lean body mass.

So, over 20 weeks I gained 20lbs of fat and 36lbs of muscle mass.

The more aesthetically minded amongst you will no doubt be horrified but for those of you who wish to dramatically change
your whole body size in the shortest time frame possible here is an out line of training, supplementation and diet used over
the 20 week period.

Training and supplementation.

First 6 weeks...

UHT Phase 2 with very high volume, of ten 10 sets of 10 reps per movement.

The purpose of this phase was to increase work capacity and build new vacuoles, and increase mitochondrial and capillary
density. During this time loads were not generally increased, but volume went from 3 sets per movement up to 10 sets per
movement, and rest times down from 90 seconds to 30 seconds or less on most workouts. Occasioanlly I would drop down to
heavier loads just to keep the "feel" of heavier weight in mind and not lose skill but 90% of the time loads were very light and
volume very high.

Supplements.

Methandrostenolone 30mg / day, dosed around training, dropped in week 5.
Formestane / phosphatidylserine mix - 1ml every 5 days
BCAA 15-30g /day.


Week 1,3,5
green tea / ginger / fenugreek / BCAA / ALCAR / ALA mix - 5 -10g + / day.

Weeks 2,4,6
Eph / Caff / Theo (Chest-Eze) 4-6 / day, 2 days on 1 day off etc.


So basically a nice anabolic environment, very high metabolism, high volume etc. Aims were obviously to add lean mass and
drop bodyfat at the same time and this was accomplished with bodyweight actually staying the same during this cycle. Weeks 6-8

PCT - Post cycle therapy.


No training at all in this phase - a deload as prescribed by the UHT program.Formestane / phosphatidylserine mix - 1ml every 2 days, sublingual.
Trib - thermolife - 6 tabs a day
Agnus castus 3200mg a day
Zinc - 45mg a day
nolva - 20mg / day, 2 10mg doses
green tea / ginger / fenugreek / BCAA / ALCAR / ALA mix - 5 -10g + / day


Here's the pictures from the end of phase 1. Bodyweight is exactly the same as in the picture at top left of this article, but it's
pretty obvious a fair bit of muscle has gone on, with the loss of an equal amount of fat.
Weeks 8 - 20.

Objective on this phase was to gain as much lean body mass as possible, regardless of fat / water gain. Kcals were as
high as 24 per pound bodyweight, with protein at 300+g per day and other macronutrients left to fall where they may.

UHT Phase 3 with rest pause sets used a lot.

Supplements.

Creatine monohydrate 20g / day
Sustanon 500mg / week
Methandrstenolone 20mg / day
Stanozolol 20mg / day
Formestane / phosphatidylserine mix - 1ml every 5 days
BCAA 15-30g /day.Here are the pics from July - weeks 19-20.
So, a 56lb gain over the whole course, followed by the same PCT as outlined in weeks 6-8. A good example of what can be
accomplished with pretty average genetics but a diligent approach to food, supps and ancillaries over a relatively short time frame.

Nice work Gavin, good thread

You actually don't look light years bigger at 245lbs than when you started IMO, although without seeing you in person its hard to appreciate the extra 56lbs.

Cool thread trhough mate, very interesting.

Ditto, i keep looking for a starting pic but you look similar size in all of them:confused:
Never the less good work:lift:

Surely gaining 36 lbs of actual muscle in 20 weeks is impossible.

Thats 1.8 lbs of muscle a week for 20 weeks straight.

I know squat about gear but even still that seems impossible to me.

big

Interesting stuff, I like it when people self-experiment

Your numbers don't seem to take account of water retention tho.

Also, is any of that muscle memory - have you been bigger previously?

Jimmy

depends on how big he was prior to the first pic

take a 200lb bb'er

give him junk food and stop him training for a year

he is now 170lbs

now give him 500-1000mg gear per week, with 5000kcals and let him loose in the gym

he may even get heavier than the origonal 200lbs in 20 weeks

LOL, just seen this

would have saved my long winded post LOL
