Brief overview of my fitness history:

Growing up I was always a multi-sport athlete. I began with football at 7 years old, baseball and swimming at around 5. Then as I got later in elementary school and middle school I dropped swimming and baseball and picked up wrestling. I continued with wrestling and football through all of middle school and highschool and was hitting the gym casually on off seasons.

These lifting sessions were not super serious and regimented but at least I was lifting to supplement my sports performance. In terms of diet: I followed a strict seefood diet. I EAT EVERYTHING I SEE! Growing up, my appetite was one of the most monstrous appetites I had ever seen. I would eat 8 eggs for breakfast along with a bowl of cereal, I would eat 2 lunches at school, I would come home and eat a MASSIVE steak with potatoes and green beans, then top it off with a massive ice cream sundae. All the while I would be snacking in between all these meals eating random sweet treats, sodas, candies, chips and whatever else I could get my hands on. I remember one time I ate 22 slices of pizza in one sitting. Another time I ate an entire gallon of ice cream in a day. My diet was pretty terrible looking back but at least alongside all the sugary garbage I was stuffing down my face constantly I was also eating micronutrient dense vegetables and high protein meats daily.

I also was a musician and video game addict so aside from sports and lifting, I sat around a lot. I was always the chubby but strong athlete kid in school. I was a defensive lineman in football if that gives you any idea. I always had a talent of being gifted when it comes to fast twitch fibers. I was known as the quickest lineman on every team I was on, but I was always super slow after the first 10 or so yards of burst speed.

The Heartbreak and Anime Inspiration:

Fast forward to college, I turned down my college football offers and decided to pursue a pre med track to become a doctor. During this time I was dating my highschool sweetheart. We attended two different universities about 3 hours drive apart. Her school was known as a party school even though she was always a studious and shy girl in HS. I was the same way growing up. I was always rejected by women constantly and often publicly humiliated in the process. I was extremely shy, socially awkward and had low self esteem despite being a multi sport athlete. I was always made fun of for my “fat ass”, long neck, feminine body shape…and “cankles”. Giving presentations in school was a nightmare. I would stutter, turn red and people would either laugh or feel sorry for me. So when I finally got a girlfriend I was so happy. And when we took each other's V card senior year i felt like a god..far more than any dose of tren made me feel..lol.

Anyways, I knew her parents, she knew my parents, I got her her first job in her field working for my parents’ company. While in our first semesters of college, we would take turns visiting each other every other weekend. The last such weekend was halloween which was notoriously LIT at her school. We went and partied together, her feet were hurting so I carried her home 2 miles, mostly uphill on my shoulders. While I was there, I met all of her friends and they were all super nice to me and some skinny glasses guy even let me borrow some of his clothes. I went home after that weekend feeling euphoric. A few days later I get the infamous “we need to talk” text. She tells me she fell in love with someone else. I find out later she was fucking the skinny glasses guy the entire time she was there and all her friends were on his side and just being fake to me.

I cried like a baby. I am talking uncontrolled, shaking, loud, crying. In my mind I had built her up to be my perfect match. We were supposed to get married. She was perfect in every way. I needed her, I had to get her back somehow….. I didn't get her back. She was gone for good. I spiraled into a deep and dark depression. I ghosted everyone in my life. I spent 18 hours a day in bed just trying to sleep so I didnt have to bear the suffering of being awake and conscious. One night while rolling around in my tear soaked pillow, I opened my phone and remembered that she and I were supposed to watch Naruto together but we never got to it. So I decided to watch it as if she was there with me.

Soon, I was hooked. Naruto’s undying spirit, his positivity, his confidence.. They were contagious. No matter how shit his life was, he was always smiling and always working towards becoming the best. He was not talented, in fact he was the opposite. Yet he still aimed for the moon no matter how many people laughed at him. My tears of sadness turned to tears of inspiration. And then, I watched the legendary Rock Lee vs Gaara fight. The ultimate example of hard work with no talent vs pure talent. In the end, Rock Lee the hard working untalented ninja was defeated and seriously injured. Doctors said he would never be able to perform again. I remember sitting in my room, watching the scene where Rock Lee sneaks out of his hospital room and forces himself to do one arm pushups because his other arm is shattered with tears streaming down his eyes. After I watched this scene, i shut my laptop and went upstairs to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror, the muscle mass I had in highschool had completely withered away by now and the fat layer that was covering it before had grown even more…I grabbed my belly in my hands and reflected on my life up to this point. WHY THE FUCK AM I FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF? I have let myself go way too far.

The very next morning I woke up at 6AM (I was an extreme night owl), went to the gym and ran a mile (which was an absolutely hellish task for me at the time). I then hit the gym and trained full body with insane intensity. I began to starve myself. I worked my way to doing 2 miles per day, and lifting full body 7 days per week. I was eating between 1000-1200 cal per day. I dropped 45 pounds in 3 months. I was extremely skinny

Then after enough people told me I looked unhealthy and sick, I decided it was finally time to bulk. I went to GNC and spent too much money on BS supplements and some creatine mono, and started PIGGING out like a mukbang god. I would stuff myself with ice cream, pizza, cookies, pasta, and basically everything I could get my hands on all day every day. The results were kind of insane. I gained a TON of muscle, and of course a good amount of fat. In the next few months I gained 50 pounds. Yes, I gained plenty of fat. But I added 100 pounds to my bench, more than that to my squat (I didn't deadlift), and now I was known as the “jacked” kid in my social circle.

While I was training my body I also trained my social skills. Before, I was terrified to even speak to cashiers or waiters at restaurants and usually asked my friends or family to order for me, I forced myself into the fire and changed that. I began by asking strangers simple questions like what time is it? What is the weather? Etc. Then I eventually moved all the way to cold approaches. I drilled tons of cold approaches to the point where it became easy. All of the sudden, giving speeches in class became easy, talking with professors was no longer intimidating, making new friends was automatic.

Every year I would return to work at the same workplace as my ex who cheated looking more jacked and feeling more confident than the previous year. After 3 years of this she got spiteful, talked a bunch of shit and quit..never to return.

MPMD, Bodybuilding, Gear, and….Tren

I would say, for 85% of the time I spent lifting, I was in a calorie surplus. I would bulk constantly and then cut super hard for a month or so and then repeat. I believe 1.5 years in, I decided to go to the dark side. I had been watching Dereks channel already for some time. I distinctly remember Dming with him when he had only like 14k subs on youtube. I'll show some of our DMs from my old ig in 2018 below

​

In terms of PED USE:

I started with just sarms (LGD4033 MK677) and then noticed signs of low test. I was getting super emotional watching Zyzz tribute videos. I remember feeling like crying because Zyzz died and I never got to meet him LOL

My first true cycle was 250 test with 10mg LGD. I saw tremendous changes within a month and a half. People were questioning me… I liked it.

I had to do a lot of experimenting to learn how my body responded to different things. I learned that I am extremely prone to water retention in general. I am a huge estrogen converter and also very sensitive to carbs. I got mild gyno on 250 test..

​

My worst cycle:

The worst cycle I ever did was one of my most fun cycles tbh. I did the classic Test, Deca, Dbol cycle. All of the compounds were pharma grade. For someone like me who gets watery SUPER easily… you can imagine what happened. Worst gyno of my life, literal michelin man water physique. I never hold much water/fat in my face but at this point in time I looked like an absolute pumpkin head. This was the one time I actually had bad blood pressure in my entire lifting career. It was like 140/85 or something like that. My diet was dirty asf. But FUCK my workouts were so euphoric. Some of the best pumps and strength gains were made during that cycle. I was always in a good mood. I felt like a myostatin cow walking around. I had a 24/7 pump. Doses were 500 test, 600 deca, 50mg dbol per day. Here are some embarrassing bloat photos

The cycle that changed everything (wild before and after photos included):

Of all the cycles I did, one of them stands above all others. This cycle was by far the most extreme and I would likely never do something like this again. However, this cycle changed my setpoint forever. This cycle was designed around one concept: hyperplasia - permanent change by means of growing new muscle cells rather than traditional hypertrophy. This was a culmination of everything I had ever learned about muscle growth pathways all at once,

Doses, Duration, and Reasoning (prepare yourself)

Cycle Length: 12 weeks

Test: 750 - base and estrogen

Tren: 525 - nutrient partitioning, strength, sensitivity to IGF-1

Primo: 1g - Nitrogen retention and fullness/estrogen management

Superdrol 20mg preworkout on chest and back days) extra strength for extreme training intensity

Hgh: 6iu/day (2iu morning, 2iu preworkout, 2iu postworkout (before bed))

Each gh shot contained 5 units Novolin R Insulin except the morning shot

I also did injectable mk677 with CJC/DAC every morning. I would shoot the hgh 30 mins later and do fasted cardio walking incline treadmill for 30 mins approx 5x per week.

The purpose here was to melt fat but also have my IGF-1 levels CRANKED all day long not only with pulses via mk677 and actual hgh but also with the bleed effect of CJC/DAC: 24 hours a day. Cardio was not only for recomp but also to try and keep my insulin sensitivity as good as I could with this much gh/gh peptides. I also supplemented berberine for insulin sensitivity.

I may have dabbled with T3 as well at some points in this cycle but I don't remember tbh

I was also injecting 500mg L carnitine daily before my training sessions.

I was using cialis/gorilla mode nitric for pumps, and alpha GPC for CNS output preworkout

For recovery I was using Gorilla Dream and ashwaghanda daily I slept 10 hours every day and was still always a bit tired and drowsy. I would take tons of random naps in addition to the sleep I was already getting. This is probably due to the extremely high IGF-1/HGH levels constantly circulating in my body and the intense energy demands of the hyperplasia process compared to simple hypertrophy.

I was also supplementing digestive enzymes daily along with ox bile and berberine with my meals

I was taking a full dose of species nutrition omegalyze (essential fatty acids 6 caps) and V-mineralize (10 caps) per day on top of eating a very high quality nutrient dense diet.

This cycle was extremely expensive as you can imaging, and also very intense on the body. I went into this with a mindset of it being a permanent investment into looking impressive for the rest of my life due to the focus on hyperplasia and changing my genetic setpoint. With this in mind, I made absolutely sure to control as many variables as I possibly could in order to make my lifestyle as optimal as possible for maximizing results.

At the last 2 weeks of the cycle I introduced injectable yk11 at 50mg per day and then as I came off the tren/primo and lowered the dose of test to 300, i also lowered the yk11 to 25mg/day for a couple weeks and then came off of that too. This was to lower myostatin levels.

How was it??

I felt amazing. I was changing daily. I was hitting new PRs literally every week while getting leaner no matter how much I ate. The look of my muscles was changing too. The skin started looking thinner. Striations and veins became more pronounced. I looked more 3D and round. People would stop me at the gym and ask if I was an IFBB pro. I was about 255 pounds at the peak of the cycle. I had some of the greatest training sessions of my life at this time. I would get insane bicep pumps just by washing my hair in the shower, chewing food during my meals, or walking down the street. Literally just doing anything would give me the sickest pump. I had to eat constantly though or I would go flat. My metabolism was insane. But that was no problem because I LOVE to eat.

Tren sides:

The first thing I noticed is INSANE hornyness. And yeah I watched some tranny porn. No shame. It happens. I was getting bricked up randomly all day every day and normal porn was getting boring.

The second thing I noticed was that I gave no fucks about anything and had unreal confidence. I felt fucking great. I could literally say/do anything with no inhibitions. I controlled myself though because I knew it was the tren and I didnt want to get myself into trouble with my newfound powers.

As the cycle progressed, my euphoria and sense of superiority over everyone degenerated into feelings of isolation. I became antisocial because everyone started annoying me with how inferior and stupid they seemed. I only wanted to fuck girls and then never talk to them again, I didnt want to waste time around my friends. Just bodybuilding and fucking tinder girls and food.

Eventually the final stages were all-out depression and feelings of intense loneliness, isolation. Loss of purpose in my life. I had no more purpose in life. The only thing in my life that gave me happiness or fulfillment was lifting. I wasnt even interested in sex anymore. Everything was pointless except the gym. People were all just NPCs. Interacting was pointless.

I only had a tren cough a few times, never had an issue sleeping, sweats were there but not horrible like some people report. Blood pressure was never out of range.

Results:

This cycle seemed to have permanently changed the look and amount of muscle I carry. When the pandemic hit, I was only on TRT and was just doing pushups and some 20 pound bicep curls a few times per week in addition to going on long walks. When the gyms finally reopened after months of being closed, people thought that I had a home gym or something because I still looked so much more developed. Not only that, but my muscle memory was so insane that I was back to my peak physique in like 3 weeks time.

​

What I do now:

These days my cycles are usually much more mild. I always keep test between 300-500, and only ever usually stack it with one other anabolic which usually is primo ranging from 600-800mg. HGH now is usually between 2-4iu. I dont think ill ever use Tren again unless I compete, and if I do it won't exceed 300mg. I wanted to get my reckless blasting over with during my 20s so that I can chill out on TRT in my 30s and still look somewhat impressive due to hyperplasia, muscle maturity and satellite cell proliferation.

I'm sure I'll get tons of hate but you know what? I don't care. I posted a crazy looking photo and I am actually willing to tell you all what it took over the years to achieve that look. If you're one of those insecure nattys who gets offended by gear use then I suggest you just leave.
