Escholar05's Fall Bulk: The bulk to end all bulks.
Introduction
Welcome,
Been looking forward to this cycle all summer. I did my first cycle ever last spring, ran h-drol for 4 weeks with great results, got a nice little recomp effect. I ended that pct at about 250 lbs, at about 24% bf, which was just too much. Over the summer, I cut down to 212, at about 12% bf, and I finally am starting to feel like a bb'er, rather than some big bulky kid. I'm planning on my first competition being the 2009 NPC Mike Francois Classic here in Columbus, OH in May 2009.
Objectives
I'm lookin to put on some serious mass with this cycle. I will be eating a shit ton, starting out at about 4,100 calories, and working my way up from there. My diet will be ultra clean, and very disciplined. I found out this summer I can basically eat the same 7 meals day in and day out and have it not get old, so I plan on doing the same thing in the fall. As far as bodyparts go, I'm looking to put width on my back, and add some size to my thighs, and also get my calves back to where they were before I had ankle surgery this past winter. That is where I will place my emphasis.

Anyone that has competed before please forgive my terrible posing skills, they are a work in progress
Hopefully you guys find this log interesting and informative, I will be updating it every workout day, possibly everyday. I can't promise half-naked women and such like other logs, but I can promise I am gonna bust my *ss the next 13 weeks to put on as much quality mass as possible. Stay Tuned.
did Leg Press Calf Raises with 4 plates per side to 75 reps without getting up, and only taking 5-10 secs each time I hit failure, the pump was rediculous
I felt like I could have done more, and probably should have, but I was freakin tired from standin at that booth all day in the sun.
These first two weeks might be a little slow while I'm waiting for everything to kick in, unless non-methyls kick in faster, I've never used one so I don't know.
Great chest workout today, all the sheep were doin back, so all the benches were free and clear, unlike the lines for them yesterday.
Took 15mg PP 10min before breakfast at 8am, and another before my post-workout meal at 5pm, took one trenadrol after breakfast.
I don't know if its the fact that I am eating tons of carbs now, compared to the ~100g I was eating on my cut, or if its Anabolic Pump finally working, but I got probably the best pump and vascularity I've ever had today. So thats a plus.
Bumped up to 60 mg trenadrol today, and I'll stay there for the rest of the cycle. Took one after breakfast, and one after my post workout meal. Took one p-plex 10 min before breakfast, and one 10 min before my post workout meal (3:00pm).
Leg Day
Leg Extension Warmup-70x25, 90x15, 110x10, 150x8
Squats-225x12, 225x10, 275x8, 275x8
Wide-Stance Smith Squats-185x12, 205x10, 205x10, 225x8
Narrow-Stance Leg Press-10x10pps, 10x12pps, 8x12pps, 8x14pps
Romanian Deads- 135x10, 155x8, 155x8, 185x6
Lying Hamstring Curls- 90x10, 100x8, 100x8
Calves
Standing Calf Raises (+50 pounds)- rest pause to 75 reps
Great workout, haha, I stumbled across campus to get home, probably looked like a moron tryin to walk.
I decided to add either AX's aPCT or SNS Inhibit E to my PCT to cover the AI slot, which do you guys think is better? My only case against Inhibit E is that it destroys my sex drive, but thats it.
oh nice log bro .. nice layout ..pretty long cycle ..looks like you thought this out pretty good.
ill be following along .. good luck bro

I'll be watching. How come you are running the 11-OXO solo at the end?
Its called an 11-oxo bridge, supposedly normalizes cortisol levels and solidifies gains at the end of a cycle before PCT starts. That's the claim, I had one bottle laying around, so I thought I would buy another and give it a shot. Thanks for following along, we'll see how things go.

Yea, 13 weeks from start to end of PCT is a long time, but I feel that since most compounds dont kick in till 2 weeks or so into it, 4 weeks is just too short. I also made sure my supports are definately in line to keep sides down. Thanks for following along, should be a good 13 weeks.

You and me both on the results thing, I really feel like I'm to the point where I got my diet and training down to a T and can make this long cycle super effective.
