In my 8th week of a projected 10 week cycle. Current stats 6' 285lbs 22%bf
Not worried about getting lean yet. Working on strength. Current doses:
400 mg deca/wk 500 mg test/wk weeks 1-4 d-boll 40 mg ed.
Getting great results.
My problem is this by Friday of each week i am damn near worn out. Eat good, taking a great multi-v. B-12 shots.and an ECA stack, sleeping 6-8 hours a night. I work alot, but still get a 1-2 hour workout daily. I am 32, am I just getting old?? Any input would be appreciated? Thanks in advance.

I would say, at your size, you definately need more sleep. 8 hours is a minimum.

I'll ditto the SLEEP!!! It's tough to get, but 6-8 hours on cycle ain't gonna cut it. I would suggest that although you probably can't get it every night, that you definitely make a point of getting 9-10 hours lets say on Wednesday night. Your probably gonna be too amped up if you work out and eca that night, so I think if you take Wednesday night off, get some good meals in and hit the sack early enough, you'll stretch your energy into the weekend without being worn out by Friday. Also suggest on Sat and Sun a 1 1/2 hour nap in the early afternoon. Makes a huge difference in your energy levels and I think you'll see a better growth pattern.

Your body is reacting to the gear and training stimulus to repair and grow at an unnatural pace, so you have to FEED it and REST it. I think those are the two typical areas that we fall down in during the quest to get huge.

Thanks for all the input. I will try and up the test dose. I only take the eca stack about an hour b-4 I work out, also, I work out after work, so I am jacked up when I get home.I should have mentioned the last 20-30 minutes of my workout is cardio, nothing too intense, walk on an incline at about 3.2 mph. I like the idea of taking Wed. off. Also will try and get more sleep. Just hard to do. Thanks again for all the help, God knows I need it.

PS: Bigthhom, if I may ask, what did you use and how did you drop 20 lbs in 6 weeks, that's pretty damn impressive, IMO. LMK...Thanks bro.

I know how you feel man. Sleep is a must but i usually get good sleep and i am wornout at the end of the week. I would say to just chill on the weekends and maby switch you workouts up so you not hiting the same thing every friday (you might not be putting your best effort to that bodypart) Hope i helped some.

No workout today, and all I have done is sit in my recliner, eat, and drink water, since I got home from work. Figure I'll go to bed about 10 tonight instead of 11 or 12, my usual times.

Bigthom, I have been thinking about t-3 after this cycle with some clen, did you take any AAS while leaning to help reduce risk of muscle loss?

BTW, Sandman, any input helps man, alot of the time, all we have is what we know, and sharing that is the best we can do. Good point about neglecting my Friday body parts...I will rotate more.
Thank you gentlemen.
