    my ranger training journal 12+ weeks

    Hi everybody, I am going to be keeping track of my cycle for 12+ weeks.
    I am heading to army ranger school around jan/feb time frame, And it's time to get into beast mode.

    Stats:
    23 years old
    170lbs
    6'0 tall
    Played football my whole life, lots of weight room experience. Olmypics lifting and crossfit.
    Back when I played ball I was about 215, then I got hurt playin college ball. Decided to join the army
    where I lost 75 lbs in basic training. Got stationed in north carolina, then emidiatly got deployed to afganistan,
    where I just got back about a week ago. During my deployment, I was in the shitty gym we had everyday. And went
    from 155 to the 170 I am right now. So now i'm ready to step my game up and get ready to go through the 60 days of hell
    they call ranger school.
    I will be doing some heavy stuff, Then also alot of cross fit, medecine ball work and body exercise, bar work and rope.
    As well as High High rep burn out sessions, and super sets. Going to touch up on a bit of everything.
    Will also be doing alot of cardio before and after my lifting sessions. As well as 3-5-8-10-15 mile ruck marches with a 70-80 lb ruckack,


    CYCLE:
    500MG SUST - satuday & wednesday week: 1-12
    35mg DBOL - ED - week 1-6
    CLOMID - 14 days after last pin 100mg ED week: 1-2 50mg ED 3-4

    Diet: Steak and Potatoes all the way. Gonna be strict, but not tooo strict. Gonna just get as many calories. But no fast food, very greasy food. Lots of vegies and salad. 3 solid meals a day, with a big breakfast, and snacks in between.
    Have 3 2 and half pounders of ON (pro complex) protein
    fish oils, milk thistle, vitamins a-d
    optimen vitamins
    glutalyn 1500
    c4 pre workout

    Routine:
    I don't really have it set yet but Im going to play it by ear, prolly 6 days on 1 off. (ranger school theres no time off to let your body heal) so im tryin to keep that in mind.
    Prolly 1 6minute mile before i get in the gym. I like to instead of resting between sets with my buddy ( jumprope) the whole time theyre doing there set. Try to keep it high intensity.
    might switch it up with 1 or 2 muscle groups in a day.
    I like to do all chest on mondays.
    Back and bi's
    Or just back if im going have with dealifts that day.
    I try to throw in alot of olympic stuff too, Ill dedicate one day to all that.
    Clean's, Jerks. some real high intensity stuff with so high reps as possible.
    Ill dedicate one whole day to legs for sure. Im very top heavy right now (never really had big legs even when squating bout 450 playin football)
    I like to hit super sets with bi's and tri's the whole day like ( incline dumbell curls) + (skull crushers on the bench)
    i usually hit abs and core everyday if im not too too sore, if not reps, plank and side planks stuff like that, hanging leg lifts sometimes.
    Well monday starts the officialness. So come that day im going to post the workout for the day. the reps, the weight and all that jazz.

    1rep flatbench 255
    1rep squat 315 (yea i know, were gonna work on that prolly legs twice a week is what im thinking)
    1rep deadlift in the 4's dont really 1 rep it tho i could prolly hit more if i had wrist straps, i have small hands :/

    well now im gonna post some pics, I hope everyone will check out what I got goin on and chime in and show some love and give some advice, thank you

      Cool ink. What do I say......
      First, I would get a set routine like go every other day and on the days you don't lift, do heavy cardio.

      Your physique, basically it reminds me of all the kids in boot camp. I really think juice in the military should be legal. It gives such an edge. At least just test anyway. Tren has no place there. Lol

      Once you learn how to lift correctly, (you may think you do, but once you learn it you'll understand what I'm sayin) you'll make amazing gains.

      Some say you're too young for juice and normally I would too, but military service throws that out the window for me. Especially when you invest your body in an elite unit.

      Good luck and I'll be watching you...

        haha yeah im trying to find something right now, but i think ima end up piecing together something.
        but I think your onto something with the day on and off, and off days go hardcore with cardio and rucking
        lol i dunno how to take the whole lifting correctly thing, but hey maybe your right!
        i never heard 23 was too young for it? but either way regardless. When it comes to military, and war, and everything you do in the military.
        Taking your body to the peek levels in order to become an elite soldier in an elite unit. I see nothing wrong with it.
        Thanks buddy!
        Ill keep ya posted!

          Good luck with your cycle my friend,
          I need to note that your PCT said Clomid 100mg weekly ? That should be daily,then drop down to 50mg daily .....maybe u just had a typo ......
          You are kinda young for the gear but ,,,,,,, It is what it is ..... so we will help .
          I can tell by the pictures that your body hasnt even came close to its potential size natural ......
          You want honest answers and suggestions ,well you arent anywhere close to ready to use AAS by the pictures you supplied us but you will like the results you get for sure providing you feed yourself and train hard.
          Glad you came around and decided to run the cycle as was suggested to you rather than throw a bunch of extra un needed crap in there.I will continue to watch your cycle layout thread...Good luck and enjoy the darkside fella

          Also dont take your fish oil pills right before gym time as the Fish Oil pills will decrease inflamation in your muscles and the inflamation is what causes growth ,,,,,Take them before bed and at lunch time .

          Do you have any AI agents bought yet ? Anti Estrogen types of things? You may need them so make sure you have them on hand and know exactly what to do when you do need them or just ask us ,,,,,Have you studied the symptoms of high levels of estrogen so you know what to look for ? Puffy nipples? Itchy nipples ? lumps under or around the nipple area ?lots of things to be aware of .......Just asking bro ....

          Oh yeh, this is kinda my gym layout
          Monday - Chest , incline , Flat Barbell bench etc chest stuff
          Tusday -Squats and leg curls extensions
          Wed -Pull day back stuff
          Thursday- Deadlifts
          Fri- Chest , Dumbbells flat ,incline ,decline and pec fly stuff ......
          Sat off ,
          Sun off ,

            My routine is eod (except I'm broke ATM)...
            Back, bis
            Chest, tris
            Squats, abs, shoulders
            Then start over, so it's every 6 days I'm doin the same body part. You can probably go sooner with your age and not hinder your gains.

              yikes!, yeah sorry man that was a typo it was 100mg ed weeks 1-2 then 50 mg ed weeks 3-4.
              and as for sides and what not i've taken a just test cycle with no pct and stuff
              just stupid, when i was like 18-19 not knowing what I was doing. So I know about the stuff.
              Im guessing I should order some nolva? I got nothing off hand, but we got a place by our base
              that has everything for all the special forces and ranger guys. Prior cycle though my body didin't react hard to sides, just a little back acne
              and a bit of a temper, and feelin like the fuckin man lol
              and thanks for the info for the fish oils I didn't know that, ill keep them to post workout and before bed with my glutalyn1500

              That's a sweet scheddy, I wanna get a good split, im working hard right now on putting a good workout schedule together. Trying to get it done by tonight.
              I know I wanna throw in pure cardio/ cross fit wednesday and friday. Like just hardcore endurance training.
              I mean ill still be touching my cardio everyday. But Im thinking maybe..
              super sets on alot of it. also was thinking jump rope while my friend is hitting his set, then stop when im up. (one week on) one week off, Im curious on the difference that could make like the following week taking the 60 sec - 2 minute rest without the rope in between, trick the body i guess.
              mon - Chest/Tri
              tues - back/bi
              wed- shoulders/delts /a good full body crossfit session
              thur- LEGS/CALVES
              fri- olympic day - clean and jerk, over squat, snatch.. all that good stuff
              sat - full cardio/crossfit beastmode day.
              sun - rest

              getting into a week two ima figure out the cardio and rucking and sprinting schedule, 1 6minute mile on the tread directly before workout.
              somewhere in there I have to incorporate the miles of rucking, maybe mon wed friday. abs/core workouts 5 days atleast, post lifting and before running/rucking.
              but after all workouts, i will be hitting the track and the field for wind sprints, and 3-5+ mile runs atleast
              Ya I know it sounds like a lot, but its really not compared to the stuff the ranger and sf guys have gotta go through.
              I know everyone here is into body building lifting, and mass and pure strength. Im not sure how people feel about crossfit, but its a must i incorporate it.
              So if you know of any beasty workouts along those lines that be great. haha any input is great what am i talkin bout lol.
              by the way on base theres a gym on every corner heavy lifting, cross fit, cardio, swimming, heated gym, for every taste. so the resources are here.
              May god have mercy on this Metal,
              Because I sure won't.

                yeah that sounds good to me, ima try and go 2 muscle groups
                and super set the shit out of it
                make time for my running sprinting and rucking and limit rest time and incorporate cross fit
                i really wanna go 2 days on legs,because thats where im lacking, but with the crossfit and olympic workouts overhead swat, clean, snatch,
                all that it hits alot of legs as it is. what ya think?
                going all out for this shit man.
                May god have mercy on this Metal,

                  Squats , Deadlifts and leg work will make you grow and increase your core strength
                  2 days a week in my opinion will work great for you , hence my schedule has squats and other leg stuff and Deadlift has its own day as well .

                  *****Also Nolva isnt what I was refering too*******Thats more in line for PCT stuff
                  I mean Adex , anastrozole ,stuff like that on hand for AI ,,these are just in case Anti Estro's......
                  you'd rather have these on hand just in case then get caught with puffy itchy nipples and starting signs of Gyno with nothing to conteract it .....
                  All the Elders on here will suggest you have these just in case as well ...
                  Im not trying to come off as a dick ,Im just trying to guide you bro and steer you in the right direction ......
                  And all jokes aside , I couldnt do cardio, Dont do cardio and would fall over dead if I had to run to my mailbox that is 40 yrds away but I can lift heavy shit up and put it down ..lol

                      If you want to something out of this cycle, you need to get a diet plan. Your plan of just eating 3 solid meals a day with snacks in between will deliver results that are anyone's guess. From looking at your pics, assuming you are already training hard, you are not getting the needed amount of nutrients before the cycle. AAS will increase maintenance caloric need. If you want to grow, you will have to go beyond that.

                      If you dont, you will just gain 10lbs of water, 5 lbs of muscle, both of which will be temporary along with the strength gains.

                      Get something dialed in bro.

Your plan of just eating 3 solid meals a day with snacks in between will deliver results that are anyone's guess. From looking at your pics, assuming you are already training hard, you are not getting the needed amount of nutrients before the cycle. AAS will increase maintenance caloric need. If you want to grow, you will have to go beyond that.

                            If you dont, you will just gain 10lbs of water, 5 lbs of muscle, both of which will be temporary along with the strength gains.

                            Get something dialed in bro.
                            ima work hard at the eating thing man , i wanna get it done right.
                            any clue on how many calories i should be taking in, where not to eat
                            I've always just been hearing eat like a fucking horse and youll be alright.
                            Test always makes m appetite through the roof anyways.
