Powerbuilding Training Log

Started back at it this morning. First workout since the first week of May 2020. It felt pretty good.
I have never kept any type of log or journal for anything, aside from work records. I am going to do my best to keep this updated and hopefully those more experienced will help with some recommendations if they see a place for improvement.
I will record my training, diet, supplements and AAS.
I like to train heavy like a powerlifter, but also shape my body like a bodybuilder. I always saw this referred to as Powerbuilding when reading Muslemag, so thats what i will call it.
For now i am just in my basement. I have a power rack, Tower 200 cable system, and a homemade cable/pulley set up for pull downs, push downs, etc. that will actually handle plenty of weight. I have 860lbs of Olympic plates, A ton of 1" weights and dumbbell handles for both sets. EZ curl bars and different attachments for my bench, so i have enough to get started. When i get back to my main residence i will get back to a proper gym that is very well equipped.
For now, I am not going too crazy. Just want to get my body used to the movements again. When i get to a real gym, all hell will break loose.
A very nice fellow gave me a copy of DC training a while back, so i will likely move into that when home.
For AAS, i havent been taking anything for the past while, not even my TRT on a reg basis. Went about three weeks with nothing at all, and previous to that was using 100mg of my script every 10-14 days. Was feeling like shit. This past Saturday i took about 150mg of my script plus about 50mg of test base. So kind of starting fresh. Just waiting to see if my doctor will refill me for the year without bloods, and once thats looked after, i will start my blast.
My plan for this cycle will be as follows
200mg/week Delatestryl
750mg/week Sustanon 250
600mg/week Equipoise
200mg/week Masteron E
These will likely be split twice a week. The Sustanon maybe three per week.
After a few weeks i will start adding Anadrol, Dbol and maybe Anavar pre workout. Not all at once, I like to switch them around every few days.
Orals will come and go. I dont really "cycle" them, I like having a break to keep the sides down and need my appetite. Food comes first.
I will be trying a kit of Opti HGH ive had laying around. When that is gone will add MK677.
Insulin will come into the mix, but not until i get home as i am alone in this house for now, and well, safety first. All alone and little to no cell service. Ive had close calls before. LOL
I also have a ton of other shit like Nandralone base, Stanolone, etc that might find its way in there somewhere.
No AI or anything like that unless i feel i need it. I usually dont, but always keep lots on hand in case. Have arimidex, aromisin, letro, caber, parmi, etc.
Daily Supplements will be
10,000iu D3
50mg zinc
2 tablets Calcium, Magnesium and zinc combo
My vitamins A, B's, C, E, K, and a shit load of other vitamins, minerals and pro/pre biotics will come from 2 scoops per day of Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.0 (I swear by this stuff. Been using for years)
Diet will be mainly beef, rice, eggs and oats for the first bit, then when i get home will follow the Vertical Diet more closely. I need a ton of food to grow, so calories will likely exceed 5000/day and maybe higher. Depending on what the mirror says. Last bulk was closer to 6000/day.

How do you upload a video?
I even tried emailing to myself but wont work
 
After way too much time trying to upload a fucking video, (maybe next i will figure out pictures), this is not new, but from March of this year. Was my third time deadlifting in 9 months, and if i remember right, second time in 2020. Wanted to see how far behind i was but actually pulled a PR. Then covid happened and that was the end of it. Looking for 800lbs by the end of the year.,
This is 715ish (the red ones are 25kg and the black are 45lbs)

 
Well fellas, wont be any updates for a while.
taking a break from the online bullshit for a while.
that didnt last very long, eh?
Haha
Take care

You don't have to spend a lot of time on here. Just set aside 15 minutes a day that is it. I only go on when I am taking a break from all the other stuff I am doing. It is relaxing as well. Especially on this forum
 
Got ahold of my doctor. She refilled my script without a visit, but wants blood when i get home cause my age and possible prostate issues and cancer, and have had no bloods in a long while. . Fuck. So i either take the script and run and risk pissing her off, or hold off on my blast. Decisions, decisions.

that is a very loaded workout A lot of weight pushed hitting the muscles in may different ways ... eating very clean as well. When you say rice pasta do you mean whole wheat rice or just white rice. Hope your progress is going well, Throw up some pictures or throw up a video of some of your lifts ... that would be cool .... cheers and keep up the great work.
