500 a week, 250 mon and thurs, and at least 3800 cals a day. 6'2 205. My lifts and weight have jumped, but thats because i hadn't lifted for two months since i quit the last time and my ol lady left and i went off the deep end and just drank and didn't eat or do shit. Then, when i got my gear day one of lifting, diet, and gear were one in the same. Im just now back to where i stopped. I know, im an idiot. Is it normal for the first sides such as sleeplessness and being hot all the time to subside as you progress through a cycle? Will it hit me like a ton of bricks or what. I am adding exactly 10 pounds to reps on bench every 5 days, so i think im good. LET me know, and sometimes i get 4000 cals of good food a day with 280 to 320 protein and about 400 carbs.
