You have a powerful, comprehensive plan. The biggest challenge now is the mental discipline required to stick to this for six months. Use your 4:30 AM ritual as your anchor. You get up, you take your meds, you eat, you crush it. Done.

Your training looks good, curious though, why a maximum of 25 minutes cardio? Cardio is your friend on a cut - fasted in the morning will do wonders for you, you could cut some of your lifting volume as on 80mg test only and a deficit I would be willing to bet your not holding 100% intensity throughout that whole session

@MrGainezzz good overall setup and you will succeed easy. but i do not see a need to run that much reta. i've never ran it more then 2-3mgs a week max. 6-8mgs is way too much i don't see it being needed it would be counter productive IMO

Thanks for checking up on me.
I take synthroid for hypothyroidism but I’m currently discussing moving to desiccated pig thyroid in the near future.
I use a slew of supplements from life extension to include digestive enzymes, milk thistle, nac, I also take Tudca and inject glutathione for antioxidant effects to see if it can improve my TSH. I had a theory and my doctor is working with me on it.
Currently I’m not taking any psyllium or other digestive stuff because my bowl movements are pretty good but I’ll pivot if they start getting weird.
I just dropped my test dose from 100 to 80mg because my total test came back at 1468. My E2 was slightly high so I’m trying to stay off an AI.

Agreed. I copied that from my notes but I’ve actually decided to do 1mg a week to start and then move to 2 if it feels like I need to. I definitely don’t want to go overboard

Old school way of logging

Old school way of logging
Are you making fun of my pen and paper notebook? I get distracted too easily by my phone so the notebook keeps me honest. Plus I have a great tool to look back at from year to year and it’s not on some app. Honestly I can’t find an app that I like either… I write out my workout the night before and think about how I’m going to accomplish it as I’m going to bed

The truth is I hate cardio with a passion so I’m trying to make it little bits that I can stomach easier until I can get more used to it. Also I would say poor time management plays a large role in it. I need to better in this

yeah that first 6-8 weeks the sides can get rough. so its good to start 1mg.. maybe 1.5mg.

Thanks for checking up on me.
I take synthroid for hypothyroidism but I’m currently discussing moving to desiccated pig thyroid in the near future.
I use a slew of supplements from life extension to include digestive enzymes, milk thistle, nac, I also take Tudca and inject glutathione for antioxidant effects to see if it can improve my TSH. I had a theory and my doctor is working with me on it.
Currently I’m not taking any psyllium or other digestive stuff because my bowl movements are pretty good but I’ll pivot if they start getting weird.
I just dropped my test dose from 100 to 80mg because my total test came back at 1468. My E2 was slightly high so I’m trying to stay off an AI. View attachment 144784View attachment 144786View attachment 144785
Hyper responder to test nice!!! Have you thought about Proviron?
 
The truth is I hate cardio with a passion so I’m trying to make it little bits that I can stomach easier until I can get more used to it. Also I would say poor time management plays a large role in it. I need to better in this
need to find cardio that you can enjoy. there are options for sure. one of the best cardio is the one you don't even realize you are doing @MrGainezzz

The problem I find is, the only one I enjoy, involves my wife and she can only take so much…. Actually I do enjoy going g for an hour walk with a 40lb weight vest every now and then it really comes down to carving out an hour for it
 
bros this a good workout. Seen a lot of guys doing face pulls these days. @MrGainezzz I haven't done them very much. Maybe I'll give them a shot next week.
Thanks, I think that all good workout programs need to be adapted to your own personal needs. I looked at pictures of myself, cried a little, then decided what top three areas I wanted to work on the most and then adapted another plan to fit my specific goals.the face pulls are a great way to burn it out at the end.
 
I’m not sure how to do this but I wanted to post something to get started. I’d like to look better naked and see my abs for once in my life. Not too complicated. I’m not trying to compete, just be happy with how I look.

@MrGainezzz no start to the log good to see that you put pictures up to start. You have a good base to start with. Let’s build on it.
 
I hate ca



Are you making fun of my pen and paper notebook? I get distracted too easily by my phone so the notebook keeps me honest. Plus I have a great tool to look back at from year to year and it’s not on some app. Honestly I can’t find an app that I like either… I write out my workout the night before and think about how I’m going to accomplish it as I’m going to bed
No making fun, @Mobster is old school himself.

@MrGainezzz that is a great mentality to have. Working on what you see is important but don't forget what's inside counts as well. Getting healthier on the inside will yield a better energy and better sleep and better everything.
 
Thanks for checking up on me.

Your free test in the pic is very low and that lines up with the 1468 total you got because the binding is high which is why you feel off, but the issue is your shbg I dont see it tested, do you have it? @MrGainezzz

Can you post actual supplement list with pics please? thanks

Yeah my stack is too much to keep track of. I wish I had known about n2guard before. I’ve only been listening to the podcast for about 2-3 weeks now and that’s the first place I had heard of it.

it's good :D you always live and learn @MrGainezzz
 
Quick question:
I was going over my notes for the week putting together tomorrow’s update and I started thinking about my next cycle. Do you think it’s too early for me to start planning that since I’m only a week into my first cycle?
I think too early, wait 2 weeks :D @MrGainezzz

I also just came back from a 10-day vacation in Panama on the 15th, so I went from straight relaxing to straight killing it.

Summary of the week:
This week started off well as far as I can tell. I haven’t noticed any big changes, but of course, it’s only been one week. The only thing that I might have experienced is a slight libido slump on Thursday-Friday, but that could have been just from exhaustion since my work was fairly demanding on top of my training schedule.

I also just came back from a 10-day vacation in Panama on the 15th, so I went from straight relaxing to straight killing it.

You have some big lifts there mate, but good call to start adding cardio and tracking BP - very important and you will find the two are quite related

That is one hell of a supplement list that you put together there. Maybe that's why you are looking so good in shape. You're getting a lot of good things going into your body. @MrGainezzz And I love the chicken salad as well. Easy to do and a very good meal.
 
The chicken salad is great. I basically make up a bunch of it and eat off it all week. It has cottage cheese, sour cream, a few grapes cut up and and some low sugar craisins with a few pecans sprinkled in it. I’ll post the actual recipe if anyone is interested.

I don’t normally add the vinegar or mustard but I’m not against using them

Summary of the week:
This week started off well as far as I can tell. I haven’t noticed any big changes, but of course, it’s only been one week. The only thing that I might have experienced is a slight libido slump on Thursday-Friday, but that could have been just from exhaustion since my work was fairly demanding on top of my training schedule.

I also just came back from a 10-day vacation in Panama on the 15th, so I went from straight relaxing to straight killing it.

@MrGainezzz can definitely tell you’re making some good progression with this. Keep it up. You’ll be there before Long.
 
Proof of cardio… 45 minutes of burn boot camp. My wife is the instructor so she abused me for the whole time…. View attachment 146198
You're a brave man going to a class like that when your wife is running the show. No way I'd take that chance. I'd go to the Pilates class next door lol

@MrGainezzz keep grinding bro! Awesome work!
 
Not sure if the proviron works immediately or if the Anavar pumps are finally kicking in but I have the best chest pump I’ve ever experienced in my life this morning. I feel fantastic
Proviron is fast :D same with anavar @MrGainezzz
 
Today’s plan is to keep 213kg on the bar in the garage and snack on that all day with sets of at least 6 while everyone else is getting fat. Happy Thanksgiving all

If anyone has any experience with this kind of pain, I’m all ears.

the shoulder issue, you will likely need to try to foam roll it and do some yoga, have you done it?
chin ups no issues? @MrGainezzz

Yeah chin-ups no issue. Light lateral raises are fine but if I try to do anything heavy on the left side it gets weak and I feel that funnybone nerve feeling. Just below my delt. I’m hitting the pec with foam roller and ball. I’ve also got the shoulder reliever and I just started doing that

Week Summary

Started the week on fire, Proviron addition felt like flipping a switch — pumps and libido through the roof. Thanksgiving/Black Friday threw everything off with family in the house and airport runs, but I never binged or went off-diet. Made up for it Saturday with a brutal legs/back/bis session. Waist dropped a full inch despite scale not moving — very happy with that.

Ready to crush Week 3 now that the house is quiet again and routine is back.

Questions/comments welcome!

Good wide shoulders and lean chest in the pics :D your're getting leaner. @MrGainezzz
that inch off the waist shows the cut is landing clean even with the scale not moving

Your week 2 setup is tight and the Proviron clearly hit because the pump and libido is usually proviron related, at least libido always is.
 
I know it’s only an inch off the waist but I’m pretty stoked about it. Also, I’m extremely happy about the Proviron. I probably wouldn’t be feeling as good as I do right now if it wasn’t for Evo family recommending it. That right there is what keeps me coming back to this forum.

@MrGainezzz Weird things going on in the shoulders is definitely a red flag. Do not take it for granted because what happens is a lot of times you start noticing some issues and you ignore it and then it becomes a bigger deal later on.

warming up and proper stretching after is crucial for the shoulders. and of course not over training them either which we tend to do
 
I know it’s only an inch off the waist but I’m pretty stoked about it. Also, I’m extremely happy about the Proviron. I probably wouldn’t be feeling as good as I do right now if it wasn’t for Evo family recommending it. That right there is what keeps me coming back to this forum.
1 inch is a lot! @MrGainezzz you keep that up it will have a domino effect. keep up the good work!

Week Summary

Started the week on fire, Proviron addition felt like flipping a switch — pumps and libido through the roof. Thanksgiving/Black Friday threw everything off with family in the house and airport runs, but I never binged or went off-diet. Made up for it Saturday with a brutal legs/back/bis session. Waist dropped a full inch despite scale not moving — very happy with that.

Ready to crush Week 3 now that the house is quiet again and routine is back.

Questions/comments welcome!

Nice to hear you're already seeing some great results. I like how you micromanage things. You list out what you're doing on an hour to hour basis. @MrGainezzz
 
Had a great workout this morning. Ended up using a MARS bar for my squats instead of a straight bar and I had a little less irritation in my shoulder. I also just found out that I have access to a red light bed so I started using that this morning for 15 min before I lifted. I think I’ll start doing that every morning before my workouts. I’ll post my lift a little later.

@MrGainezzz can definitely tell you’re getting leaner. The muscle is showing in the chest and shoulders
 
I know it’s only an inch off the waist but I’m pretty stoked about it. Also, I’m extremely happy about the Proviron. I probably wouldn’t be feeling as good as I do right now if it wasn’t for Evo family recommending it. That right there is what keeps me coming back to this forum.
As you should be any improvement is progress you earned that excitement 💪
 
Going a little soft on my left shoulder until I can get it looked at by a PT but here is today’s workout. I also upped my Reta to 2mg from 1mg this morning because I’ve been noticing a greater desire to eat everything I see. Not sure if that’s the Anavar talking or my inner fat kid but I want to squash that before it gets out of hand.
On another note, I finally slept great last night getting a full 7.5 hours sleep. I can’t be sure but it could be related to the red light therapy that I’ve been adding in. I did 20min red light this morning and I plan to keep that up daily. I’ve also added a blue light device to my visor in the car so that I can get blue light on my way into work. It’s supposed to help with my circadian rhythm
