New Cycle – The Longest One Yet
I’ve been off ADHD medication for over a month now and am optimistic that this will address some of the issues I had last time. During my last cycle, running Deca caused some depression and self-doubt, but I suspect that was due to the combination of Deca and starting ADHD meds at the same time. Hoping for a much smoother run this time around.

Cycle Details
Supplements
I’m focusing heavily on cholesterol management this time, as my bloods showed elevated levels. The current supplement stack includes:
Diet Plan
Diet will be critical for this cycle. I’m starting with 2,200 calories/day for the first four weeks, then gradually increasing by 100–200 calories per stage depending on progress. The cutting phase during the last 4 weeks will be adjusted as needed, but for now, the focus is on clean bulking.
Training Plan
I’m diving into Kris Gethin’s 12-Week Hardcore Trainer—something I’ve started a few times but never finished due to various reasons. This time, it feels like the right moment to see it through. After the 12 weeks, I’ll transition into a 4-week cut to lock in the results.

I'll post my workout and food in the next post but here are all the starting details you need and pics.

Stats
- Age: 41
- Height: 183 cm
- Weight: 96 kg
- Body Fat: 16% (up from 14%, which I’ll focus on reducing during this cycle) Really let myself go this past month with not much training and bad diet.
- Goal: Build clean muscle while cutting body fat to 10–12%, avoiding "roid gut."
Cycle Details
- Duration: 16 weeks (12 weeks on-cycle + 4-week cut)
- Preloading: I’ve been on TRT (150 mg Test E weekly) and added 100 mg Deca weekly for the past 5 weeks to saturate before going full-cycle.
- Bloodwork: Done pre-cycle and will repeat in 6–8 weeks.
- 500 mg Test E per week
- 300 mg Deca per week
- 300 mg Mast per week
- 50 mg Anavar (5 weeks on, 6 weeks off, 5 weeks on)
- TB500 (for recovery and inflammation support)
- Due to the strength of each one I have decided to run a 3 x week injection instead of 2.
