It definitely wasn't our plan to tank the E2 but also why I did bloods at 6 weeks after introducing EQ. I will get another test done in 2-3 weeks to see where the E2 is at after the adjustmentsNot a comment on this log but 'tanking' E2 is NOT as good an idea as some seem to think.
cardio is looking sweet to finish this. Always a nice challenge after a tough leg workout to do the cardio after. It just shows what kind of commitment you have. @Wookie12th November

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Due to blood results showing low E2 sitting at 54, waiting on lcms for accurate results but either way its pretty much tanked. Coach has changed protocol, increased Test to 600mg from 525mg, lowered EQ to 200mg from 280mg and increased NPP to 200mg from 140mg.
Even though feel isnt an accurate or correct gauge of hormone levels everything feels and functions fine.

Recovery & Health:
Sleep: 5h 59m Rating of Fair 74, 3am wake up with with, I didn't get up until 3:30am. Only 2 wake ups last night with the first one being about 2.5hrs adyer going to sleep and the next one at 2:30am. So for the trial it looks like its working but will continue and monitor. The sleep itself felt good.
Hydration: 6 L water + electrolytes
No changes here the volume is constant im just working on the potassium/sodium ratio. Adding more and more heart salt isnt the solution as its increasing the sodium as well. Will have to look at supplements like potassium chloride.

Another good session, increased reps and weight across most exercises. Strange how the arms get a massive pump even tho it eas leg day.
Energy/motivation:
Really good today, no issues.
Coaching adjustments:
As mentioned above peds changed to correct low E2
Miscellaneous thoughts:
Blood results waiting on LCMS for Testosterone and E2 so what is shown in the results wont be accurate but enough to know a ped adjustment was needed.
Changing my HGH to AM helped me alot man for sleep. its funny how for some it helps sleep and others it hurts, nice vascularity through the arms and solid session13th November

So i find out today from my Dr that the amitriptyline im taking for nerve pain increases appetite. No wonder ive been struggling and having to increase Reta to a stronger dose. Between the EQ, meds and id say the gherlin rebound its been a struggle for the Reta. Handy to know now![]()

Everybody is definitely going to be different. That's great that you haven't felt any negative situations at all. And if every session is getting better and better, that's all you can ask for. @WookieI honestly haven't felt any negative, not that that is a reliable way to guage anything. I feel good, every sesh is getting better and better![]()

Notes:
Food has been better again this week, the noise has been suppressed like my cut days. Still able to eat and so appetite hasn't been affected negatively just able to ignore the in between meals cravings and munchies desires. Still eating the same meals so no change. The pre and post workout meals have been working well and also contributing to keeping me full. So fun fact I found out from Dr this week, the amitriptyline i have been taking for nerve pain also increases appetite. No wonder i was struggling with low dose reta. Between the amitriptyline, EQ and gherlin rebound ive been fighting a loosing battle
---
Recovery & Health
Sleep: Average 5h 51min, not much change here. Its about as good as its going to get with my current situation. Not sure what else i can do. Trialling HGH in the mornings, for the first few nights at appeared ro be working. Last 3 nights sleeps have been no better that before.
Digestion: Good — regular bowel movements, with fibre in the 20g range instead of mid to high 30's the wind has reduced and movements have been not so savage.
Weight has decreased for the week overall by 0.6kg. This would relate to the Reta working in controlling the hunger.
Energy over the week has returned so confirms to me it was related to no caffine/stims. I will continue this for 1-2 more weeks to give the body a break and reset the receptors then ill look at introducing a little back in. Unsure if it will be coffee in the morning or just the Preworkout.
Right arm niggle is still ongoing, ill see the Dr soon and ask for some imaging, see if there is anything there. It could possibly be due to low E2 which was noticed in the 6 weeks bloods this week. Protocol has been adjusted to increase the aromatization and rectify the low E2, will take a few weeks to notice results and another blood test.
Hydration: 6 L + electrolytes per day
Another good week of maintaining potassium higher than sodium. Still not at the 2:1 ratio. Ill look at sourcing some potassium chloride and making my own blend.
Summary:
Week 6 of the lean gain phase under the coaching of @gainsman with Sparta products all provided by the legends @itsaj @KiwiFella. Strength continues to increase, consistently setting new PB's of reps and weight. Vitals are all good, especially happy with BP havnt needed to introduce any meds so far. Nutrition has been on point for a second week.
Highlights:
- Strength increase across all movements.
- Maintaining Abs and vascularity with weight increase
- Vitals all in point.
Improvement opportunities:
- Focus on macros
- Better quality sleep
Next Week:
- Same as week before.
- Incorporate AB work daily
- Daily tennis elbow work
- Stricter food adherence
- Continue with the removal of all stim based products including caffeine for a few weeks to have a bit of a reset

Still able to eat and so appetite hasn't been affected negatively just able to ignore the in between meals cravings and munchies desires. Still eating the same meals so no change. The pre and post workout meals have been working well and also contributing to keeping me full. So fun fact I found out from Dr this week, the amitriptyline i have been taking for nerve pain also increases appetite. No wonder i was struggling with low dose reta. Between the amitriptyline, EQ and gherlin rebound ive been fighting a loosing battle

Recovery & Health
Sleep: Average 5h 51min, not much change here. Its about as good as its going to get with my current situation. Not sure what else i can do. Trialling HGH in the mornings, for the first few nights at appeared ro be working. Last 3 nights sleeps have been no better that before.
Digestion: Good — regular bowel movements, with fibre in the 20g range instead of mid to high 30's the wind has reduced and movements have been not so savage.
Weight has decreased for the week overall by 0.6kg. This would relate to the Reta working in controlling the hunger.
Energy over the week has returned so confirms to me it was related to no caffine/stims. I will continue this for 1-2 more weeks to give the body a break and reset the receptors then ill look at introducing a little back in. Unsure if it will be coffee in the morning or just the Preworkout.
Right arm niggle is still ongoing, ill see the Dr soon and ask for some imaging, see if there is anything there. It could possibly be due to low E2 which was noticed in the 6 weeks bloods this week. Protocol has been adjusted to increase the aromatization and rectify the low E2, will take a few weeks to notice results and another blood test.
Hydration: 6 L + electrolytes per day
Another good week of maintaining potassium higher than sodium. Still not at the 2:1 ratio. Ill look at sourcing some potassium chloride and making my own blend.
Summary:
Week 6 of the lean gain phase under the coaching of @gainsman with Sparta products all provided by the legends @itsaj @KiwiFella. Strength continues to increase, consistently setting new PB's of reps and weight. Vitals are all good, especially happy with BP havnt needed to introduce any meds so far. Nutrition has been on point for a second week.
Highlights:
- Strength increase across all movements.
- Maintaining Abs and vascularity with weight increase
- Vitals all in point.
Improvement opportunities:
- Focus on macros
- Better quality sleep
Next Week:
- Same as week before.
- Incorporate AB work daily

Coaching adjustments:
No adjustments after check in. Food is left where it is as my initial weight gain was a bit to much. Coach will reasses next week.

No adjustments after check in. Food is left where it is as my initial weight gain was a bit to much. Coach will reasses next week.
Peds have already been adjusted for the low E2 so now its the waiting game for a few weeks to see how it goes.
Miscellaneous thoughts:
Nothing
Absolutely ripped to shreds in these pictures. Keep up the good work man and stay healthy. Keep up with the elbow work. You don't want bad elbows or bad knees. No good. @WookieWeekly Review — Gain Phase | Week 6 (Ending 16th November)

Notes:
Food has been better again this week, the noise has been suppressed like my cut days. Still able to eat and so appetite hasn't been affected negatively just able to ignore the in between meals cravings and munchies desires. Still eating the same meals so no change. The pre and post workout meals have been working well and also contributing to keeping me full. So fun fact I found out from Dr this week, the amitriptyline i have been taking for nerve pain also increases appetite. No wonder i was struggling with low dose reta. Between the amitriptyline, EQ and gherlin rebound ive been fighting a loosing battle
---
Recovery & Health
Sleep: Average 5h 51min, not much change here. Its about as good as its going to get with my current situation. Not sure what else i can do. Trialling HGH in the mornings, for the first few nights at appeared ro be working. Last 3 nights sleeps have been no better that before.
Digestion: Good — regular bowel movements, with fibre in the 20g range instead of mid to high 30's the wind has reduced and movements have been not so savage.
Weight has decreased for the week overall by 0.6kg. This would relate to the Reta working in controlling the hunger.
Energy over the week has returned so confirms to me it was related to no caffine/stims. I will continue this for 1-2 more weeks to give the body a break and reset the receptors then ill look at introducing a little back in. Unsure if it will be coffee in the morning or just the Preworkout.
Right arm niggle is still ongoing, ill see the Dr soon and ask for some imaging, see if there is anything there. It could possibly be due to low E2 which was noticed in the 6 weeks bloods this week. Protocol has been adjusted to increase the aromatization and rectify the low E2, will take a few weeks to notice results and another blood test.
Hydration: 6 L + electrolytes per day
Another good week of maintaining potassium higher than sodium. Still not at the 2:1 ratio. Ill look at sourcing some potassium chloride and making my own blend.
Summary:
Week 6 of the lean gain phase under the coaching of @gainsman with Sparta products all provided by the legends @itsaj @KiwiFella. Strength continues to increase, consistently setting new PB's of reps and weight. Vitals are all good, especially happy with BP havnt needed to introduce any meds so far. Nutrition has been on point for a second week.
Highlights:
- Strength increase across all movements.
- Maintaining Abs and vascularity with weight increase
- Vitals all in point.
Improvement opportunities:
- Focus on macros
- Better quality sleep
Next Week:
- Same as week before.
- Incorporate AB work daily
- Daily tennis elbow work
- Stricter food adherence
- Continue with the removal of all stim based products including caffeine for a few weeks to have a bit of a reset

35kg presses and 100kg incline is moving in the right direction even with that arm niggle starting but be careful
since you gotta weld and arm issues maybe

Training Notes:
Started with Leg curls instead of extensions, got a good pump by mixing it up. PB's across alot of the exercises again, so still havnt reached the ceiling yet. I'm really enjoying this run so far just constant improvements.
Energy/motivation:
Again another good day, felt amped with the slup kicking in. Its very rare im not motivated or energised.
Coaching adjustments:
Nothing new
Miscellaneous thoughts:
Right knee is sore still unsure if its from the heavy hack Squats Wednesday or low E2. No other aches anywhere so im leaning towards the hacks
Yeah its only sore on the bottom side of knee cap. Could feel it a bit on the lunges but it wasn't to bad. I'm hoping after this weeks check in is get an increase in cals. I know I said that last week as well25kg walking lunges and 125kg extensions are strong lower work and you still hit PBs even with the knee a bit off!
Macros landed clean at 293 carbs and 233 protein which is solid for the cut but you can push over 250 protein imo
You should massage and get infrared lampYeah its only sore on the bottom side of knee cap. Could feel it a bit on the lunges but it wasn't to bad. I'm hoping after this weeks check in is get an increase in cals. I know I said that last week as well![]()

Average Calories: ~2,055 kcal
Average Actual: C 250 g | P 219 g | F 46 g
Fibre: ~21 g
Hydration: 6 L daily + electrolytes
Notes:
Food has been better again this week, unfortunately requiring a large dose of retatrutide. The second lot of meds perscribed by my Dr also increases appetite, so its a yoyo effect or tug of war between the meds and the Reta.
---
Recovery & Health
Sleep: Average 5h 40min, not much change here. I am now taking mirtazapine to help sleep. I have noticed a deeper sleep with less wake ups. To me it feels better but the data says it isnt so im unsure
Digestion: Good — regular bowel movements, with fibre in the 20g range. No indigestion or other issues.
Weight has decreased for the week overall by another 0.5kg. This would relate to the Reta working in controlling the hunger.
Energy over the week has been extremely good. Still continuing with the detox of stims/caffine until Thursday then that's 4 weeks. I'll look at introducing only 1 at a time a guage how that effects me and when to time it. Is it a coffee in the morning or an energy drink/ stim Preworkout before a session.
Right arm niggle is still ongoing, I have a referral for some imaging, see if there is anything there. It could possibly be due to low E2 which was noticed in the 6 weeks bloods Last week. As mentioned last week the PED protocol has been adjusted to increase the aromatization and rectify the low E2, will take a few weeks to notice results and another blood test.
Hydration: 6 L + electrolytes per day
Another good week of maintaining potassium higher than sodium. Still not at the 2:1 ratio. I havnt got around to sourcing my own yet, been a busy week but its still on the cards.
Conclusion:
Week 8 of the lean gain phase under the coaching of @Gains Man . Strength continues to increase whether it be maxing the machines out or the dumbell rack. Consistently setting new PB's of reps and weight. Which demonstrates the high quality products of UGLOZ, provided by the legends @UGL OZ @UGL OZ Support Rep . Vitals are all good, especially happy with BP still as this is without any medical control. Nutrition has been on point for a third week in a row.
Highlights:
- Strength increase across all movements.
- Maintaining Abs and vascularity with weight increase
- Vitals all in point.
Improvement opportunities:
- Focus on hitting target calories as this is the second week of loosing weight.
- Better quality sleep
Next Week:
- Same as week before.
- Incorporate AB work daily
- Daily tennis elbow work
- Stricter food adherence
- Continue with the removal of all stim based products

Thanks brotherRipped abs and big arms in the pics@Wookie
you holding that 101.5kg lean is strong work!
Strength rising every week while keeping the waist tight is perfect progress
Thanks@Wookie You are looking diced in your pictures. Absolutely ripped man single digit body fat for sure.
Definitely, it may be something else yet. Will wait and see what the scans say. Hopefully its just muscle related and not tendon/ligamentsbros daily tennis elbow work smart. gotta take care of that. otherwise will go chronic @Wookie
There are many factors involved. Originally it all started after the car accident i was in. Almost over night a massive down spike in the watch data. Now I know its not that reliable but I have been wearing the same watch for nearly 3 yrs that there would be some consistency in the inconsistencies. After having an MRI one of the few symptoms identified from the bulging disc and impinged nerve affects bowel and bladder function which probably explains why I wake up needing a leak 3-4 times a night.What's your thinking behind the lack of sleep?
@Wookie you are definitely looking shredded. You've got that part taken care of. Now add 5 or 10 lbs of quality muscle and you'll look fantastic.Weekly Review — Gain Phase | Week 8 (Ending 23rd November)

Training Notes:
Tried something different with Bench press today, instead of 8 reps or more i just worked on doubles for the top sets with failure on the 3rd reps. I could feel the ongoing issues with the niggle with rhe higher reps at 100kg.
Got a good sweet amd pump today from trying the stim based pre workout. First time since the detox, feel its achieved ots purpose. Will continue with no caffine/stim during the day and just save it for a pre-workout . Still cracked out multiple PB's again. I found 4 little weights to add to the Tricep Pushdown so weight could be increased past max.
Energy/motivation:
Good Energy and motivation but slightly distracted with some real life things. Work out was still good just a bit longer
Coaching adjustments:
Calories have been increased
New Macros are 300 C, 250 P and 50F for a total of 2650 cals, which is a 320 cal increase.
Miscellaneous thoughts:
Will take a little playing with my meal prep options etc to better utilise the cal increase. Ill definitely be adding 100g pineapple to my main meal each night to begin with.
bros hell yeah!Thanks brother
ThanksSingle digit is a feat I would never have thought possible back when I started.
Definitely, it may be something else yet. Will wait and see what the scans say. Hopefully its just muscle related and not tendon/ligaments![]()
Thank youAnother solid update from you. I like how you lay out the attention to detail on everything. It shows how serious you are. @Wookie
you have definitely come a long way from when you first got here. It's like you're easy when it comes to getting more shredded. @Wookie Just when we think you've shredded enough, you continue to get shredded.
Thanks mate@Wookie man your pics you’re looking phenomenal. Really nice physique a lot of good muscle there.
Google maps on those arms brother
Cheersbros hell yeah!
Appreciate what your saying, I am also taking the natural stuff. There is a night night support from another vendor that has GABBA, 5htp, melatonin, Valerian root amd maybe something else in it plus i take 10mg melatonin and Magnesium Glycinate.@Wookie You clearly have a bit going on to harm your sleep, but I have to ask, have you tried the natural route? Mirtazapine can be a pretty rough drug to come off of, from experience, the sleep quality is also not as good as youd think, which is what your device is picking up, I struggled immensly with sleep for years - I dont get enough still but thats more trying to do too much.
Over the years I used ssris, benzos, z drugs - all put me to sleep but i didnt get rest if you know what i mean. My sleep stack now is helping alot - check it out on my log.
You are looking crazy though I will add

Training Notes:
Unsure exactly what was the Preworkout as I had a container made up from before the stim detox. It may have been 2 scoops of pump and Warrior. What ever it was I definitely had the sweats on today, it was dripping off of me.
Really good session combined with the Preworkout, more reps and weight PBs again. I cant go any heavier on DB Row as 50kg is the largest one so im just doing more reps and focusing on controlled movements. Kept the rear delt flybloading lighter as it can cause strain/agrivate the neck soblighter but more reps
Energy/motivation:
I was definitely motivated and full of energy today, most likely from the stim pre workout after the detox/break.
Coaching adjustments:
Cals has been increased to 2650, 300 carbs, 250 Protein and 50 Fat.
Miscellaneous thoughts:
Will take a bit to adjust meals now with the increase. Will tinker over the next few days to best utilise the increase
Funny you should say that, she has jokingly dropped those comments recently.Farkkkk big boy hows that pump
Suprised the wife lets your outta the house looking that good hahaha.
Hows the knees brother, do you use knee sleeves or wraps?
Funny you should say that, she has jokingly dropped those comments recently.
Well when you figure it out let me know too yeah lol id happily lose a toe to look like thatIt was a good pump, I have to try remember exactly what I mixed up in the Preworkout. Been sitting in the cupboard for nearly 4 weeks while doing the stim detox![]()
Yeah my knees were the first things i noticed when i tanked my e2 fro eq was not fun at all lol. Fuck even walking stairs was proper fucked. Whats the plans if it is e2? Bump test or lower eq?Knees are good, i dont use sleeves or wraps. Ill see how tomorrow goes as its leg day again but i think it could be low e2 related more than injury. Which if that is the case I will have to learn to deal with it for a few weeks until we can get the E2 higher
Its definitely E2, bloods done a few weeks ago. Normal E2 test was 52 i think and lcms E2 was 32. Since then Test has been bumped up to 600mg from 525mg, EQ lowered to 200mg from 280mg amd NPP up to 200mg from 140mg. Will look at another blood test next week or 2.

Will just be a regular test for 2 reasons, as accuracy isnt needed we just need to see if its moving in the right direction and the 2-3 week wait for results for LCMS would Impact ongoing changes.

Average Calories: ~2,055 kcal
Average Actual: C 250 g | P 219 g | F 46 g
Fibre: ~21 g
Hydration: 6 L daily + electrolytes
Notes:
Food has been better again this week, unfortunately requiring a large dose of retatrutide. The second lot of meds perscribed by my Dr also increases appetite, so its a yoyo effect or tug of war between the meds and the Reta.
---
Recovery & Health
Sleep: Average 5h 40min, not much change here. I am now taking mirtazapine to help sleep. I have noticed a deeper sleep with less wake ups. To me it feels better but the data says it isnt so im unsure
Digestion: Good — regular bowel movements, with fibre in the 20g range. No indigestion or other issues.
Weight has decreased for the week overall by another 0.5kg. This would relate to the Reta working in controlling the hunger.
Energy over the week has been extremely good. Still continuing with the detox of stims/caffine until Thursday then that's 4 weeks. I'll look at introducing only 1 at a time a guage how that effects me and when to time it. Is it a coffee in the morning or an energy drink/ stim Preworkout before a session.
Right arm niggle is still ongoing, I have a referral for some imaging, see if there is anything there. It could possibly be due to low E2 which was noticed in the 6 weeks bloods Last week. As mentioned last week the PED protocol has been adjusted to increase the aromatization and rectify the low E2, will take a few weeks to notice results and another blood test.
Hydration: 6 L + electrolytes per day
Another good week of maintaining potassium higher than sodium. Still not at the 2:1 ratio. I havnt got around to sourcing my own yet, been a busy week but its still on the cards.
Conclusion:
Week 8 of the lean gain phase under the coaching of @Gains Man . Strength continues to increase whether it be maxing the machines out or the dumbell rack. Consistently setting new PB's of reps and weight. Which demonstrates the high quality products of UGLOZ, provided by the legends @UGL OZ @UGL OZ Support Rep . Vitals are all good, especially happy with BP still as this is without any medical control. Nutrition has been on point for a third week in a row.
Highlights:
- Strength increase across all movements.
- Maintaining Abs and vascularity with weight increase
- Vitals all in point.
Improvement opportunities:
- Focus on hitting target calories as this is the second week of loosing weight.
- Better quality sleep
Next Week:
- Same as week before.
- Incorporate AB work daily
- Daily tennis elbow work
- Stricter food adherence
- Continue with the removal of all stim based products

Training Notes:
Can feel some muscle tightness from yesterdays session. Had another really good sweat up again today, almost like I just got out of the water from a swim. Good pump , very vascular in the arms and shoulder yet I was training Legs....
Increases again across a lot of the movements. Maxed the leg curl machine out today. As I max the machines all I can do is increase the reps and slow the movements down. I am thinking about getting a pin so I can load more weights, the gym owner actually suggested that to me. Just unsure how effective it will be in the Technogym range of equipment.
Energy/motivation;
Another really good session, motivation amd energy especially from the sleep the night before.
Coaching adjustments:
No new adjustments
Miscellaneous thoughts:
Looking backnat the last 2 sessions with the pump and sweat im thinking its either the slup or the L-Carnitine that's doing this. I like it, makes it feel like your having a red hot crack. Strange how the upper body gets such a good pump even tho its leg day.
Leg pics are nothing like the upper body![]()
