Approved Log Likwid 2024-2025 Diet and Cycle Log

You will definitely feel it since you have been training machines only. Front squats are no joke either. Love them.
DBs are usually fine, but barbell for legs has been rough, ever since my surgery I haven't really touched barbells for leg or pull days just from fear of injury.

That's why I do hyperextensions instead of RDLs

Training

Rest day
Feeling pretty good despite the added daily volume

Diet
The lower dose glp1 seems to have helped

M1: half a bagel with cream cheese, 2 eggs, quarter avocado + shake
S1: Protein bar
M2: sweet potatoes, flank steak, cottage cheese
S2: protein bar
S3: cottage cheese, string cheese, handful of almonds
M3: whole grain biscuit with turkey sausage and cheese

2104Cal/188P/148C/81F
Solid meals! Making me hungry!
 
Glad to see you're getting control over your sleeping issues.
Had no idea. It was Friday The 13th. Wow, I had to look at my calendar.
 
Yes, most people will do very well on more vegetables.

They've got a lot of good nutrients in them.
 
Just be careful with the onion and garlic.
Sometimes those can be difficult on the gut.
 
One of the things I love about your log is that you have some good modesty

You're not some ego Maniac bodybuilder. I like that.
 
I'm glad the blood work is looking good so far.
Some things are off, but that's pretty standard for A steroid user.
 
One of the good things that you can do is donate blood.

That will go a long way to cleaning up some of the blood work numbers.
 
Scrambled eggs, steak and cheese looks like a good option.
Definitely some nice protein and it tastes great.
 
We don't but I really wish we did! We get the Kirkland Original jerkey, the macros aren't perfect but they're good for my overall day.

I use it on occasion but the sodium is so high

@Likwid good updates.......keep going.........
 
my apologies I did see that, just missed the e2 discussion now I recall
your estrogen not too high

lets not go over 0.25mgs arimidex/week to start
you dont want to crash e2, you just want to moderate aromatase activity

how are you feeling? how is your training?
Nothing else worth noting, if there's a specific number I can grab it. I get a lot of tests done at the same time. Progresterone and prolactin are normal. Expecting E2 to be the same, I don't convert a lot to E2.

No SHBG tested, going to test that on cycle anyway.

I usually just took 0.5mg once a week and it brought me closer to 20-30. Is there a good advantage to splitting that into twice a week? Happy to do it, just need to cut the tiny pills even farther lol

This is my full deload week, I've got some twinges in my back and left sciatica so today I'm doing stretching.

I would split the tabs, so you geta steady drop in aromatase activity not crater.

You do yoga for back? Infrared lamp?

We all came down with something, I thought it was just my normal back issues but the soreness seems to be related to the fact we're all sick.

I'm glad it wasn't back issues, but I was taking it easy to be ultra safe before I realized it was one of those germs.

I had run out of berries :) got more yesterday. I do love bananas though.
@Likwid WOW! you lost a lot of weight!, your abs even coming out thats how tight you are, shoulders and arms look good strong, chest coming up, you're really making progress congratulations :D EVO family support for you
Cheers mate, thank you.

I think right now chest is lacking the most and could use the extra focus but otherwise just improve everything through the next 12 weeks

@Likwid I think the chest can grow for sure but its not hard, lets do incline and flat and decline bench with higher reps and slow squeeze :D

It's a lot drier than I thought it would be :(

Wife prefers the turkey kind
Yea turkey sausage is dry, I had some post thanksgiving breakfast, it was weak lol :)

@RoidRage69 i much rather have that food I saw your lady posted the other day, you’re a great cook :)

I need to try some turkey sausage.

This. 100-percent
 
Bone broth is easy to make.
All you need is bones and a Crock-Pot and some water/broth.
let it simmer for 24-36 hours then remove the bones.
 
I still think you have room to improve your diet, man.

Keep working on it and keep cleaning it up.
 
Try a homemade pizza.
Especially if you insist on trying a slice or 2.
 
Fasting will do a great job of really tightening up the skin.
That's a direction that you can go.
 
Man amazing job, losing all that weight.

That's what we like to see. Keep it up.
 
Right now I'm focused on this recomp or mini bulk, if I can come out of this cycle sub 15% bodyfat but put on some size I'll be a happy camper.
Recomp is better, I wouldn't mini bulk now. Recomp and getting down to 10% should be on the table :D
 
You're right, but also got my own mental status I'm also going to not be upset if I gain good size but go up just a bit on bf

But you're right!
You have my and EVO family support no matter what you choose :D I just thought you were looking to get super peeled
but we can do both with a recomp as well.

If you do shakes solo they will convert to glucose too fast :D add some fats to them, think walnuts almonds
 
I can add some walnuts.

Question though, wouldn't the fats still present in my stomach thanks to the glp1 mitigate some of that?
you're not adding a lot of fats so its ok to add a little to the shake on the side, a few walnuts 1-2 nothing big or even a few almonds just to have a better mix @Likwid
