Great refeed option but too heavy on the carbsin general has a ton of carbs im glad your tracking so you can see what works and doesn't work for you, just be careful with having to much bread lol.
definitely cutting it out@CypherOCE very oldschool meatball subsif you growing thats good but for cutting you need to start going down in bread intake especially at night
any kind of high carbs high GI meals you should stay away during cuts @CypherOCEGreat refeed option but too heavy on the carbs
Chest is sore AF this morning so ill go and punish my back in a few hoursactually I'm weirdly looking forward to it.
The struggle produces a feel good feeling
definitely cutting it out
Might save that kind of uptake for before a big leg or back day in the future
See i told you brother you don't need a crazy amount of volume for muscle growth, you just need the right kind of stimulus and make every set and rep count, I am happy that you enjoy the workout that is awesome, keep kicking ass my dude, on a refeed try brown rice or sweet potatoe packed with nutrients and complex carbs which is the kind u need and want.Great refeed option but too heavy on the carbs

Thanks for the tip!
I've made my own tortillas before but not a keto bread ill look into that!Food is definitely looking good. Bread is a killer when it comes to carbs. Try to find alternatives. You can make your own or find a keto bread too.
Costco usually has some good options for keto breads/wraps/buns. Just helps keep the carbs down. Try to find one that has a clean ingredient label. If not, it is better to make your own.I've made my own tortillas before but not a keto bread ill look into that!
Thanks!
@CypherOCE pinning glutes with 29g pin is not a good idea, you need to get 25g, as 29 going to be HARD to push, better use 29g for your deltsQuick walk around the local streets this morning as I have a busy day with meetings before I start work later this afternoon will try and hit the gym after work see how tired I feelfailing that ill be in there tomorrow.
Have a Bucks weekend from Friday lunch time to Sunday morning. So I'll try and keep things tidy and limit the alcohol and food intake
Other than that its business as usual. pin day tomorrow morning, probably go delts again or try the ventro glute like Noah suggested. Only downside being ill have to use a 29g pin as I don't have anything else at the required length![]()

Further notes: felt kinda meh today I don’t know why, went to the gym regardless and it wasn’t a bad session just not as good as I would’ve liked to produce.
Will definitely hit shoulders again probably over the weekend and take my wife along to help me really get a good sesh on them.
Food intake has been good but I’m thinking I need to really rethink foods - more protein, less carbs.
Weigh in this morning: 87.4kg
it’s gone back upnot sure why. I haven’t cheated on my diet really minus those damn hot dog buns
I don’t think I can eat less and not starve to death - for example, Fitbit put me at burning 3807 calories yesterday and I ate around 2200 give or take.
View attachment 56558
So I’m a little perplexedwhat more is it that I need to be doing? More dedicated cardio time other than what I get up to at work? Or something more along the lines of HIIT? Open to hear thoughts and opinions
That’s it for my rambling today![]()
@CypherOCE good steps broView attachment 56604
First pic on the boards!
Hopefully dial this in even more in the coming weeks.
@CypherOCE if you dont like the mct switch up get a brand with a different carrier oil see how it feels manBig weekend.
Cheated on the diet marginally while I was out but limited the alcohol intake to vodka soda which was terrible and kept me from having too many from the taste alone.
Pinned again tonight with 25g 1” pins in VG - I've been having trouble with PIP days after pinning i believe its the MCT carrier oil my body just doesn't agree with but I've pinned again tonight with the following protocol.
I'm hoping this is beneficial but I'm not holding my breath as my delts are still sore trying to lift my arms days after so I'm convinced its just MCT is no bueno for me so I might have to switch it up and find castor or GSO.
- Warmed up the oil in hot water.
- Warmed up the barrels once oil was in with a heat pack wrapped around them.
- Massaged injection site for 5 minutes after on each side.
- Had a hot shower and continued massage while in shower.
- Foam roller and then heat pack followed by massage before I jumped into bed.
Weird thing is it's smooth as butter going in with no pain at all but the next day is usually when it starts.
Will report back with results of the above anyway![]()
So far so good with VG and the smaller gauge pin@CypherOCE if you dont like the mct switch up get a brand with a different carrier oil see how it feels man![]()
monitor and lets us know manSo far so good with VG and the smaller gauge pin
Got my wife to help me out last night and its a little sore but nothing like before so maybe I goofed it up.
I'll monitor it for this week and see how it feels after work tonight and into tomorrow if nothing by then I think I should be fine
Hitting shoulders now will update when I get back homemonitor and lets us know manand how about training?
Really good session today with shoulders - since I have no spotter I swapped the dumbells for shoulder press and it was great.Hitting shoulders now will update when I get back homeprobably include my steak for lunch and a general update aswell
20km by foot?!Big day out on site
Lots of walking and lots of why the fk did I take Friday off this has gone to shitbut that doesn't matter the shift is over now I can watch some youtube until I fall asleep

Cals hit today: 231p 66f 137c
Overall: 2108cal from the 2300.
Will probably have to rethink my breakfast and cut out the tortilla after I go through this batch of breakfast rolls. That should cut carbs down to 60/70. Which is probably more ideal while trying to cut weight. Other than this, it has been a very productive day.
Update on the Pip / MCT saga:
VG injection on the right side with the primo has started but its not nearly as bad as previous injections. I'll keep monitoring it to see if the protocol used above works if so I'll keep at it with the MCT carrier if not I may have to go pharma route or find an Aussie vendor who brews with castor or GSO.
Yeah haha20km by foot?!
The cut is well and truly underway!
How much citrus bergamot is daily to use? Thinking of adding it.Great log mate keeping yourself very accountable, well done. Regarding your cholesterol way back at the start, citrus bergamot will help with that, it really helped get my hdl up whilst lowering my hdl.
Never heard of that one! Can I find it on Amazon and what kind of dosage are we talking about?Great log mate keeping yourself very accountable, well done. Regarding your cholesterol way back at the start, citrus bergamot will help with that, it really helped get my hdl up whilst lowering my hdl.

I hate telling them to do something and then walking off make me feel like a prick![]()
You can get it from chemist warehouse, that Dr Caruso brand. I just ran a tablet a day, can't recall the dosage but for once my cholesterol was in range whilst using it.Never heard of that one! Can I find it on Amazon and what kind of dosage are we talking about?

@CypherOCE good steps but the PIP is not good, did you talk to the source more? maybe time for replacements broupdate for yesterday
Good steps but bad workout just wasn’t feeling it I was pretty distracted with things going on at home and work and just couldn’t get my head in the right zone and that my body doesn’t agree with the MCT carrier is also annoying the shit out of meI’m shattered about that
PIP Update: it was horrendous yesterday, I had a belt on and every time it was loose and rested on the top of my glute I had to readjustfeels much better this morning however.
Steps was good yesterday. Diet also staying on track. I think I’ve pretty much kicked my sugar addictionminus the morning coffees also no more sugary crap food or chips as a snack at work either is a big deal for me because I would also do that.

Yeah last one was Pharma tho but I did have MCT mast E and had no issues.Have you run a cycle before this ?
Or changed up your injection sites?
Should be having so much pip.
Test E 400 and the PrimoBy any chance u using testE 400?
Double high pip compounds there brother.Test E 400 and the Primo
Primo injection side being the worse of the two. test side was fine it was sore but wasn’t stopping me from bending over to pick things up like primo side was.
Yeah we spoke in depth about it@CypherOCE good steps but the PIP is not good, did you talk to the source more? maybe time for replacements bro
I did 0.5ml twice a weekI get pip in my quad from primo but delts vg and glutes are fine.
I spilt my doses into 3 since I'm.doing like 780 primo a week.
Generally slight pain with initial injection but goes away pretty quick.
Ur getting pip from test 400 brother, i have seen many reporting pip from test 400 of different vendor. High mg blend r known to have pip, it’s usually for kind of advance users. Looks like i read it wrongTest E 400 and the Primo
Primo injection side being the worse of the two. test side was fine it was sore but wasn’t stopping me from bending over to pick things up like primo side was.
Test was 0.3ml was left side and it’s not painful at all primo was 0.5ml right side and it’s still tender this morning but it’s manageable. I had trouble sitting and just laying in bed but only on the primo sideUr getting pip from test 400 brother, i have seen many reporting pip from test 400 of different vendor.

Nah it shouldn't unless it becomes super inflammed but then it will only feel like that.Test was 0.3ml was left side and it’s not painful at all primo was 0.5ml right side and it’s still tender this morning but it’s manageable. I had trouble sitting and just laying in bed but only on the primo side
Surely it can’t cross sides the injections are on opposite sides of my glutes
Y don’t u try putting both oil in same barrel and increase injection frequency? Might help, i think every vendor does mct oil.Test was 0.3ml was left side and it’s not painful at all primo was 0.5ml right side and it’s still tender this morning but it’s manageable.

Delts were warm to the touch for a week and it was painful to lift them, only started feeling better yesterday from Thursday last week.Nah it shouldn't unless it becomes super inflammed but then it will only feel like that.
Any inflammation? Or just pip
That was going to be my next port of call to see if it made a difference but tbh I’m a little hesitantY don’t u try putting both oil in same barrel and increase injection frequency? Might help, i think every vendor does mct oil.
I am bit lucky in terms of pip so far, i rupture my vein taking shot yesterday and blood was leaked bit heavy very first time but had no pip today, i think most vendor do mct oil, u have to try here and there to make it out for now. Can’t say much.That was going to be my next port of call to see if it made a difference but tbh I’m a little hesitantI don’t want that kind of pain again
If I did it and backloaded a 1ml pin it’s roughly 0.16ml daily for 5 injections. Probably make it much more manageable but now I’m just scared of the pain![]()
I would see about getting another vial from another supplier just one and testing at 0.1ml to see if it is mct oil that's the issue.That was going to be my next port of call to see if it made a difference but tbh I’m a little hesitantI don’t want that kind of pain again

I think electus is using his primo at 750mg per week, he has no complain at all, must be carrier oil.I would see about getting another vial from another supplier just one and testing at 0.1ml to see if it is mct oil that's the issue.
I don't doubt that rnd oil is spot on but it can happen.
If he hasn't had any other complaints then it's probably not the batch and it probably is the mct.
I think anabolic minds has castor oil maybe grab a vial from them and give that a go?
I used tested there oil and didn't feel any worse so should be OK
Already on it@CypherOCE hit up anabolic minds or one of the other castor oil boys and grab a vial to test
Perfect let's see how you goAlready on itAlpha Labs will be roughly a week and gear up is sending out AMPS for me
I didn’t find anyone else but I’ll suss out anabolic minds as well
great to see you backApologies I've been lazy the past week since the MCT saga and had some personal issues that hit me unexpectedly
Anyway, less drama and more back to the point.
Starting new stuff pharma stuff tomorrow with clen to add in.
New jab protocol: Monday, Wednesday and Friday
Aim here is to lower the overall coke going in in the hope that it will help me out. Fingers crossed haha
Diet hasn't strayed too much, ate 3 Tim Tams and had a whiskey neat.
Back into the swing of things tomorrow for shoulders. Will update the log after that![]()
