Thread: First Blast please comment to educate and improve

Hey Guys First I would like to thank each of you for your input, comments and advice! Every little question asked or answered on these forums does help people and helps me answer the million questions I have floating around in my head. The best part is all answers are explained in great detail.

I have just started my first ever cycle I’m currently running MTS test E and it is great!

I made my mind up ages ago but it took me a lot of reading and learning before I started my first blast I thought I would keep it pretty simple due to a big personal life change.

My first blast of TEST E for 16 weeks:

600mg test E – Twice a week
12.5 Aromasin - twice a week

Back ground :

I have been training roughly around 3 years now and competed in powerlifting under in my first two years. Most of my initial training was compound movements Dead Lifts, Squats and Bench along with assistance exercises that contribute to the 3 big lifts.
My PBs (all done in comp)
Dead Lift – 270 kg (1 rep)
Squat – 220 Kg (I rep)
Bench press (with a pause) – 120 kg (1 rep)
I weighed in at 77.6 kg (sorry I don’t do lbs)
I have managed to stay fairly lean (I think) though out my gym rat life I have added a few pictures

Diet

I’m not the best at this I have calculated all my macros and currently consuming P – 300 C- 500 F -80

My choice of food is as follows :

Meal 1 - Oats, Oat Bran, Whey protein, Peanut Butter and some honey
Meal 2 – Banana, whey
Meal 3 – Rice and Steak
Meal 4 - 3 whole meal pitta bread, Hamouse
Meal 5 – chicken rice
Meal 6 - whey

Most of my meals from 8am to 4pm I try and keep easy because my work life is busy and rarely have minutes to spare before I have to run for a meeting. I get my veg in as well in my steak and chicken meals. Sometimes I do get the odd cheat meal in but my cheat meals don’t have a designated day. Even when I cheat I tend to aim for quality food most of my cheat meals are from Nandos (never had chicken so cheap in South Africa)

Training

I have now moved away from the powerlifting side but I still lift heavyish
My training is as follows –
Back and chest

Quads, Hamstrings and calves

Shoulders and arms

My reps and sets fluctuate so I’m going to list a standard rep or set range. I aim for Max 8 minimum 6 reps unless I lift heavy when my ego is shoots higher than my brains .
Future

My aim is compete next year probably in mens physique or something I’m not sure yet and I admit I need to do loads of reading and research

I want to plan my next blast in advance to avoid confusion and problem later on in the year after my cruise

I’m sure many of you have experience and may have started the same way I am or something if anyone can help or advise I would really appreciate all the help and I do not take criticism to heart.
