The Synthetically Modified Organism: Gracian 2.0

**gracian1601** · 10-04-2012 06:25 PM

For those of you that are new to my logs, welcome aboard, and thank you for following my journey to the mountaintop! And to you few that have been with me over the last several months (you know who you are!) you have my sincere gratitude, and I thank you for your support, your advice, and your encouragement. You have been instrumental in the success I've experienced thus far, and are my secret weapon. THANK YOU!!!

MAN UP!

These were the words that greeted me as I opened my package today, words that embody the mentality ingrained in me by my Father many years ago. I'm going to leave this package on my desk throughout this cycle, and this mentality will be it's defining characteristic.

Some of you already know my plan of action, but for the newcomers, this cycle will be as follows:

Masteron Propionate - weeks 1-5 @ 400mg/wk
Testosterone Enanthate - weeks 1-15 @ 600mg/wk
Equipoise - weeks 1-15 @ 600mg/wk

Injections will be done three times per week, using an 18g 1.5" to draw, and a 25g 1" to pin.

My initial thoughts on my first injection are that many people on this forum have not experienced true pain before. I am not immune to pain by any means, but the injection was literally painless, and nearly bloodless (less than a pinprick of blood). The PIP (post injection pain) is more pronounced when flexing my delt, but even this is very mild.

Pushing nearly 3ml through this 25g pin was a little more difficult than expected, but I believe that this was mainly because of my inexperience. Regardless, the task was completed within approximately 30-45 seconds.

Since I'm beginning my cycle at the end of the week, I'll be pinning another 200/200/133mgs on both Friday and Saturday as well to bring me to the designated 600/600/400mgs per week. This should actually serve me well, as it wille help me reach peak levels faster.

In regards to diet, I am currently approaching the end of my 8th week on a cyclical ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting (all meals consumed in an 8 hour window, from 12PM to 8PM - all workouts completed in a fasted state), but will likely be transitioning towards something more optimized for this cycle. In all honesty, I am really ready to get the hell away from this diet. The results have been spectacular, but going five days a week almost completely deprived of carbs (0-20g tops), has been both physically and mentally exhausting.

Here's my diet:

Calories 3467
Protein 252g
Carbs 422g
Fat 73g

MEAL 1
3 cups raisen bran + 16oz milk
cals 820 protein 31g fat 5g carbs 153g

MEAL 2
8oz ckn breast + 4 red potatoes, butter
cals 868 protein 84g fat 15g carbs 96g

MEAL 3
8oz shoulder steak + 3 cups (cooked) white rice
cals 1222 protein 68g fat 32g carbs 159g

MEAL 4
3 scoops dymatize elite xt fudge brownie protein + 1/4 cup almonds
cals 557 protein 69g fat 21g carbs 14g

With the enhanced nutrient partitioning from the gear, I should be able to be a little more flexible with my diet, and am really looking forward to eating like a big boy again ...though I will certainly be a lot more mindful of my body fat from now on.

In regards to training, my sessions have been averaging over 2 hours in length x 4 days per week. With the end of my ckd, also comes a change in my workout routine. I haven't quite decided on the layout yet, and will likely play things by how I feel until the gear starts kicking in, at which point I am very seriously leaning towards having another go at Jim Stoppani's 'Six Weeks to Sick Arms' routine. I've done it once before while completely natural and really enjoyed it. It would be very interesting to see how my body responds to such a heavy-duty routine while chemically enhanced.

Tomorrow will be my final depletion workout, will report back then. Pictures will be taken either tomorrow following my workout, or sometime between then and Monday.
(for those who are really interested, plenty can already be found in my profile)

I fully expect this to be one bad ass ride, and am planning on milking this shit for everything it's worth. So get ready fellas, shit just got real!

DAY 2

Workout today was longer than I would have liked it to be. Had some kick ass placebo going though, and ended up in the gym for just over 3 hours. PIP didn't hinder my workout in the slightest. Put myself through a pretty brutal workout today, and when I got home I pumped a second round into my right delt. Did not bleed whatsoever this time, and since I knew what to expect as far as the resistance goes, the process was completed in about half the time that it took yesterday.

I did take some pics today, but am going to wait and take more probably on Monday. Didn't really like the way that I looked in them today, was a bit bloated around the midsection, while my muscle bellies looked flat ...kind of expecting the last part due to my ckd and my crazy glycogen depleting workouts.

However, it's now time to carb-up, so I should be filled out pretty good by Monday.

Here's what went down at the gym.

Something funny happened in the gym today. One of the trainers, who knows that I ran my first sd cycle back a few months ago (and who said he wasn't into prohormones and stuff like that, though he was taking formeron at the time -I told him it was a ph btw) comes up to me and tells me that he's gonna try out a ph cycle, because he's disappointed with supplements. I got a kick out of that, and told him that he'd likely be throwing stones at natty supps after that.

Anyway, I figured I would share that little tidbit with you guys. So far things are looking good, and they're likely to get a LOT better here before long. Gonna carb up this weekend, and then probably move into my new diet, so I expect my strength to start shooting back up again shortly.

**deerslayer41** · 10-05-2012 01:11 PM

Good luck man this cycle looks fun

**Nor-Natural** · 10-05-2012 01:33 PM

I was gonna hold off until I took more on Monday because I am unhappy with the ones I took today, but here are a few so you guys can see what I'm working with right now. Like I said, I don't really like these shots, because I'm completely carb depleted, and carrying a bit of bloat. Hopefully I'll be looking better on Monday when I'm fully carbed.

(but you ain't seeing the fucked up faces I was making!)

**jayisk** · 10-05-2012 02:26 PM

solid base looking good..,but your head is disproportioned to your body.

**Nor-Natural** · 10-05-2012 02:26 PM

The pizza jacked my fat up higher than normal, but I wanted it, and since my workouts have been so long and brutal ...I felt that I deserved it! Plus it was the last pizza left in my freezer, and I was tired of being tempted by it.

Besides, it's time to get big as fuck, and if I end up putting on more fat that I want, I might be forced to toss some tren in on the tail end. :>

(though I think that me being on tren is likely a very bad idea)

**TripleOvertime** · 10-05-2012 10:19 PM

Looking thick as hell in the newest pictures. Upper abs really started popping.

**Heretostudy** · 10-05-2012 11:00 PM

Woke up hungry, so it's midnight snack time ...4 more cups of coco pebbles. :>

**2LEGIT2QUIT** · 10-06-2012 09:14 PM

I'm in, this looks like it's gonna be epic.

**gracian1601** · 10-07-2012 09:57 AM

Looking much fuller this morning after carbing up over Fri/Sat, and weight this morning is sitting just over 201lbs. I easily cleared 11k cals over the last two days, and am feeling pretty good right now. I finally mapped out my new diet, and am pretty excited to be eating carbs again on a daily basis. I'll be adding this to my OP, so I probably wont be listing my food each day unless I deviate from my diet.

The ratio will be approximately 30% protein, 50% carbs, and 20% fat ...here's the rundown, complete with exactly what I'll be eating on a daily basis.

Calories 3467
Protein 252g
Carbs 422g
Fat 73g

MEAL 1
3 cups raisen bran + 16oz milk
cals 820 protein 31g fat 5g carbs 153g

MEAL 2
8oz ckn breast + 4 red potatoes, butter
cals 868 protein 84g fat 15g carbs 96g

MEAL 3
8oz shoulder steak + 3 cups (cooked) white rice
cals 1222 protein 68g fat 32g carbs 159g

MEAL 4
3 scoops dymatize elite xt fudge brownie protein + 1/4 cup almonds
cals 557 protein 69g fat 21g carbs 14g

(any deviations or alterations will be noted as they happen)

Wanted to note that I pinned my left quad yesterday, without issue. No pip today whatsoever, and both shoulders are also still feeling great. The tightness I had been experiencing in the arch of my right foot seems to have abated as well, so things are looking good fellas!

Oh yeah ...I've also been working on putting together a new training program to use until I decide whether or not I'm going to do the Six Weeks to Sick Arms routine again. This is what I'll likely be running starting tomorrow, but I'm definitely open to suggestions!

Monday - Chest
Tuesday - Back
Wednesday - Cardio / Abs
Thursday - Legs
Friday- Shoulders
Saturday - Arms
Sunday - Cardio / Abs
