Dunstone’s 8wk enhanced suplus

It’s a strange thing. My maintenance calories tend to be between 2000 and 2100, with 3 grams of protein per kilogram, which helps keep my hunger in check while on TRT. I've recently changed from a plan of four meals plus a protein shake to five meals and a high-calorie pre- and intra-workout shake. This decision was influenced by insulin considerations.

Now, enhanced with multiple growth factors, I find myself very hungry for meals one and two, both before and after training, but less so throughout the rest of the day. Excluding the shake, I probably max out at around 3000 calories, similar to my previous surplus. All of my meals are generally fast-digesting as well.

Carbs increased to 105g in intra and pre-shakes

I saw your step goals as 10k, that's one thing I've been doing consistently everyday is my steps. I get close to 10k on the weekdays and get over 15k on the weekends. I find that it really helps me keep lean.

How I get ready for this next phase

To prepare for a successful blast, it’s important to focus on several key factors that will support your body. Start by bringing your calories back up to maintenance levels while staying reasonably lean. Reducing cardio load can help lower cortisol levels, which is beneficial during this phase.

Additionally, optimising tissue repair is crucial. For my approach, I find that a regimen of 170mg TRT and 3iu GH nightly, along with 5mg of TB500/BP157 taken twice a week for four weeks prior to the blast, offers effective support. This strategy helps create an ideal environment for growth and recovery.

Lets blast with no injuries ✊
Well thought-out plan. Have you found GH and TB500/BPC-157 noticeably improve recovery in past cycles?

Yes, Coach was right onto it. Stopped the rapid gain, now to put back in those extra carbs with lower Lantus.
