Hey Neo, thanks for taking the time! It's great that you replied already, it sounds like you have the perfect experience! I think the best way will be for me to address each point in a quote of it's own.
It depends on your comfort level with using PEDs. I mean you can go from something as simple as a basic SARM or Peptide run, to a basic AAS run or a combination. You could be talking about laying in a year long course of cycles that increase as the year goes on, with cycling between 12-16 week AAS courses, with 6-12 week long SARM/Peptide runs, or again combination runs. I have a fair bot of niche knowledge here, while not because I was training and competing but rather because I was training and in combat at the time, so similar, but with widely different end game scenarios.
To be fair I'm still quite ignorant to the difference between a Peptide run and AAS. I also hadn't thought about multiple cycles for certain, my plan was to do something for a few months (however long is recommended), then judge my results afterwards. I don't see why I couldn't do more, but the plan for now is one course.
If I was you I would focus on over all conditioning, and bumping the strength/weight ration not increasing your weight beyond a certain limit, but squeezing the power into the package as it stands. By this I would be looking into compounds like Anavar, Methylstenbolone and the like to get you more strength but with very mild weight gain. Compounds like that will allow you to train with heavier weights,adding power to punches, kicks ect ect with a minimal gain in your weight, it will increase your speed as well if you practice your striking under tension with heavier weights, this will carry over to speed as your body copes with the weight, when its gone the speed increases. You have traditional compounds like Testosterone, which should be run, as a base to preserve normal function, and aid in recovery, muscle building strength and helping to keep the lethargy away. You have the peptides as well, ghrp type, HGH, GH fragments and the like all to help increase healing, add to the ability to build mass, and accelerate healing time, collagen synthesis ( as do compounds like Deca.) The newer compounds the SARMs are like mid way points, helping with mass growth, healing, and endurance ( GW50516 excels at this and is favored by cyclists)
Absolutely, the strength to weight ratio is of utmost importance really. I've heard Anavar recommended once, but Methylstenbolone is a new one! The effect is pretty much what I'm going for though! All courses should have testosterone, right? So for example, I would inject a form of testosterone and take Anavar tablets? Do I then take something on top of that to keep my hormones at healthy levels when I come off the course?
This all being said mate, what are your goals give us a nice hard goal, do you want to put on some weight? Raw power Endurance? What are your skill sets? Ie. are you a boxer, Muy Thai ect ect Liek are you training to step in the ring in a given time frame, do you want to heal a series of injuries?
Main goal = Heal my shoulder, it's had several dislocations. I've been through physio, don't need surgery. Apparently my healing is pretty good already, just not my luck! I've got other minor injuries (who doesn't?), so I guess overall joint health / strength is my target.
After that my secondary goals are to get max endurance, to improve both muscular and anaerobic performance. Power is absolutely welcome and I expect it! I'm from a striking background, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing. But I also train my groundwork too. I'm in no rush to be fight ready, health comes first. I've got plenty of experience fighting already, when I'm feeling ready I'll get back into it again.
Give us a look at your training lay out a weeks worth of your training, and 48hrs of your Diet, on and off of your prep for a fight.
Right now I'm just doing a basic routine, after I hurt my shoulder last year I've been taking it easy.
1. Back, Biceps
2. Rest Day
3. Chest, Shoulders, Tricep
4. Legs, Abs
5. Rest Day
When I'm strength training I usually jog a mile to the gym and then some form of cardio with hard intervals. Recently I've been doing 4x4 minute rounds on the treadmill, faster each 30 seconds, 1 min rest between. Each week I'll make my cardio a touch harder and my weights a bit heavier.
Breakfast usually a big fruit smoothy, 4-5 bananas + 2 mango is a good one right now. Or I might get a bowl of oats with honey.
Later usually some home made soup, lots of fresh vegetable soups with bread or noodles.
Usually snacking on fruit before training, whatever is good in season.
Then a bigger meal like a big pasta dish. Something like rice and veg with fish or chicken a few times a week too.
After that it depends, if I'm training for a fight, It'll stay clean, maybe a smaller smoothy but with more greens like spinach etc in there. If I'm not fighting, it could be anything from toast, to a fruit salad, to a pizza, depending on hunger!
If I'm training for a fight my training would be more like
1. Morning - Chest, Shoulders, Triceps /// Evening - Techniques + cardio
2. Morning - Cardio - Pad work /// Evening - Techniques, harder training, pad work, sparring / sparring drills
3. Morning - Back, Biceps /// Evening - Technical work
4. Morning - Cardio - Pad work /// Evening - Techniques, harder training, pad work, sparring / sparring drills
5. Morning - Legs, Abs
6. Morning to Afternoon - Sparring
7. Morning - Cardio
like I know you said, that you want strength, in your body and shoulder, but in what manner man pure bomb dropping monster strength I ave gone from Middle to heavy weight strength or, I am a middle weight that dumps like a heavy weight? Don't be offended this is your first cycle? What level of dedication to cycling do you have? Do you want to avoid a basic Test only cycle and go instead for like a peptide cycle?
My greatest concern is keeping the shoulder joint itself as strong as possible. With correct technique, bone alignment, and a really secure joint you can't go wrong. I'm not looking to the steroids to increase striking power, but it will be a happy side effect. My dedication is full on, I'm just not sure about the pros and cons of each type of cycle. Once I start, I wont be wasting my time or stopping half way.
So yeah I gave you a vague rambling answer ( bit of a fever here man 104 fixing for oral surgery tomorrow, and I am board as fuck, working on a sticky fro this site, but if you answer the questions I fired back and gave me some serious detail into what you are really trying to do with the PEDs I will use my ample time sitting here relaxing to brain storm some answers for PEDs and combat sports I am a huge fight fan bro)
Once again, thanks!
I know this isn't medical advice, but what would you suggest to me?
