Approved Log Self TRT and Post Cycle Training Log

[ajg223]

Plan:

Self TRT at 125 mg of Test E per week

Should I continue with aromasin or wait until bloods to see estrogen levels?

Additional Daily Supplements:
6.5 grams fish oil
200 mg DIM
7 capsules N2Guard
1 gram pantothenic acid
2 grams astragalus
Microdose of psilocybin (2 days on, 2 off)



Training: moving away from straight body building. My golfers/tennis elbow needs a break. I am a semi competitive golfer (more so before kids) and want to transition to training that will support more mobility and explosiveness. Also, will be adding more zone 2 cardio in the form of running to keep it tight for the beach. Finally, adding in 20-30 minutes of flexibility work 3-4 days a week.

Example of a workout:

3 super sets of
20 Bulgarian Split Squats
20 Seated DB shoulder press

3 sets of front squats at 60%

6 sets of the following
12 DB single arm hang snatch
12 DB single arm jerk
6 single leg rotational jumps

3 sets of
15 cal row
10 med ball rotational slams
5 med ball vertical slams

Diet
Planning on decreasing macros to
210 grams protein
150 grams of carbs
80 grams of fat

Looking for any advice people have for maintaining or losing as little of my gains as possible. None of this is set in stone. If I had it all figured out I wouldn’t be here. I have learned that what I know is less than what a lot of you have forgotten and I respect and appreciate all the support.

@ajg223 wonderful to see your new log bro just approved it. Been following you for a while now on your other 2 logs.

I would increase fats a bit 10-20 grams healthy omega 3fats.

on the training, stay more lower body and core let the elbow recover a bit.

Keeping gains? high protein and training and updating us so we can see how you push.

ALSO, we didnt get final picture in your other log, like LOG closing picture, please share it here bro.

 

[stevesmi]

wow this is an amazing start to this log
will be following for sure

 

[ajg223]

Finishing the final week of my cycle. Will take final photos and post Wednesday.

Today’s training was eaten up by maxing out my deadlift. Wanted to see what gains I’ve made and that is a lift I feel comfortable maxing out alone.

Prior to this cycle my one rep max was 425 lbs.
The weight on the bar in the photo is 450.

If I had done it for a single I would have been happy. 25lb increase in a few months is nothing to be ashamed of. After doing a single I took it for a set of 5 and had more in the tank.

I am beginning to see the appeal of performance enhancing drugs haha

If I can keep my numbers at even 80% of what they are now through the summer I will be thrilled. It is great to lift heavy on cycle but for me to consider it a success I need to keep these gains and be able to build on them next time.

 

[Mobster]

Any form of TRT ought not to need an AI, Maybe lower the dose

 

[Quadsweep]

nice to see you fire up this log
your last one was really good

 

[BodyMonster34]

bro you're you look strong on those deadlifts
over 400 not bad

 

[JasonPriest]

great job on this
looking for the following your law your last one was excellent I agree

 

[Wootoom]

this will be a fun one to follow over the summer
glad you got it started

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

supplements look really good
I'm glad you're doing the n2guard thats smart

 

[2Thick]

this will be a fun log to follow
make sure you check in with us as you did on your last one

 

[e2]

A+++ start to this log!

[StevenDarwinMD]

APPROVED LOG

 

[ceo]

Bros good to see you're doing this log
I like your dosage it's good and clean

 

[ROIDDERS]

I hear you on the elbow issue
those things are really annoying aren't they

 

[chesty]

it's the small nagging injuries that are the biggest pain in the ass
I can definitely see why it's frustrating

 

[Ulter]

nice man didn't know you played golf previously
what was your best course and best score

 

[ajg223]

nice man didn't know you played golf previously
what was your best course and best score

My favorite course was probably Merion in Philadelphia or Piping Rock out on Long Island.

My best score which was not at either of those courses was a 64. That was back before I had kids and was playing constantly. Now I’m just happy if I break 80.

 

[RoidRage69]

As far as keeping gains that should be easy. Continue deadlifting at least once every 2-3 weeks.

 

[Masonic Bodybuilder]

I would wait for bloods to come in. If estrogen is too high, lower the test dose instead of adding an AI. Proper TRT will not require an AI.

[average918]

Great start to your log brother! will be following along and keen to see what you achieve

Self TRT is a good option for sure

 

[ajg223]

Here are the final comparison photos. Still have considerable body fat to lose, but need to be willing to commit 100% to my diet.

 

[ajg223]

Also, it feels like a much bigger change than comes through in the photos for me. I see a definite difference, but nearly as pronounced as I feel/thought.

 

[ballin2504]

Awesome start

@ajg223 good AM training thats how you do it hows your food?

Food is alright. Still too many shakes not enough raw veggies.

Today:

Post workout shake

Pork chop, brown rice, asparagus

Elite protein shake mid afternoon

Lean beef with brown rice and veggies.
200 protein/135 carbs/70 fats

@ajg223 not too many shakes, shakes needed to maintain bro

add a protein bar

 

[stevesmi]

swapping some more fruits and vegetables instead of the shaykhs it'll be good for your gut

 

[Quadsweep]

[BodyMonster34]

It’s in an app but I figured you didn’t want to go through 3-4 photos to see my workout. So I just jot it down and take a photo.

@ajg223 much easier like this but if you can put it on your phone notes and copy and paste text bro would be 100x easier if you can

[ajg223]

 

[Mobster]

hard for me to think I do 4 x your weight on hammer curls

Yesterday’s training

 

[JasonPriest]

workouts are looking on point

 

[BodyMonster34]

bro good to see you hit your legs hard

 

[Quadsweep]

different leg muscles are getting hit that's beautiful to see

 

[Austin316]

saw a guy the other day at the gym working those same muscles it seems to be a good Core workout

 

[sambee38]

definitely got a balance the leg muscles that's crucial

 

[BookerTNY]

keep up the good work and keep pushing

 

[Arabian]

hamstrings and glutes lookin good

 

[ajg223]

hard for me to think I do 4 x your weight on hammer curls

I am babying my forearm/elbow. Plus I am still a pretty novice bodybuilder. Still learning appropriate weights for many of the exercises.

 

[Zyglamail]

Nothing wrong with going lightweight

 

[Shrine]

I agree and disagree with mobster
sometimes going light is better and sometimes you got to push

 

[caligirl85]

I would recommend avoiding anything that aggravates your joints or causes pain

 

[zedhed]

that's good that's your humble enough to admit that you're new at this
