Approved Log 2025-2026 Cutting Cycle Log - Get Shredded

[Dreamer]

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

I have read alot about the light therapy, interesting stuff - there seems to be alot of merit to it

Hey fella!

Following the log from now. Keen to see how you go. When was the last time you had visible abs?

Never in my life that I can remember have I had visible abs. This is my first time ever trying anything like this.

 

[BigVelvetG]

good bed there thats a pro one! and if you get hungry from anavar thats not usual, have you added more psyllium? @MrGainezzz
love that chart you got oldschool!
and sleep on point perfect

I haven’t added any psyllium. I didn’t think I needed to if my bowel movements were good and regular. Do you think I should?

 

[LevButlerov]

I think you should for sure, it's not related to bowels, many factors @MrGainezzz

 

[BigVelvetG]

I think you should for sure, it's not related to bowels, many factors @MrGainezzz

Just did a quick search on the benefits of psyllium and I didn’t realize it did all that. Prebiotic, cholesterol, satiety, blood sugar. I just ordered some

 

[Warthog61]

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.

Yeah man it's good stuff!

 

[Warthog61]

I didn't look to see what happened with your shoulder but my right shoulder has acted up in the past as well. I do a lot of ROM exercises and 5lb dumbell stretching before every push day and so far so good. Hanging from a lat pulldown set for a minute or hanging from pullup bar helps my shoulder too. Targeting the muscles you want in the movements help to prevent any radiating shoulder pain. "Become one" with the muscles

This is basically the approach I’ve been taking. I’ve been warming up with a bunch of hanging scapula retractions, light rows and pec stretches and then continuing to stretch the pecs through the day on push days and squatting with a safety bar on leg days. I’ve also started using my shoulder reliever tool to strengthen it. It’s gotten more bearable this week so I’m gonna keep on keeping on till I see the PT next week hopefully.

Nice looking workout mate. Hopefully you can get your shoulder sorted. Things like band pull parts are good. Can do external rotations as well.

I always want all EVO brothers to use it, cheap and changes your life @MrGainezzz

 

[BigVelvetG]

Decent workout today. I think I need to back off the heavy sets and do more high rep slow work with my shoulder acting up. 5 sets of 2 at 85% was a bit too much for it. I still feel good and the pump feels great.

Bros. If you looking really like your shoulder hurting then definitely back off. Could mean you got shoulder tear going. Gotta let it heal up. Maybe get on some healing peptide ASAP. @MrGainezzz

@MrGainezzz You definitely have a solid physique, man. Lots of muscle on your frame. From here let's dial things in and get things tighter.

 

[BigVelvetG]

40 minutes on the rower today 8500 meters. It wasn’t so bad and it made my back feel great. Maybe I should do this several times a week.
I think I can get it in as soon as I come home from work before dinner… definitely worth a try even if I just get in 20-30min a night and 40 on Saturday morning. I think it would show dividends.

45 minutes on the rower is no joke. Looks like your rowed your heart away. 8500m is amazing. @MrGainezzz

I can never find an app that does exactly what I want. Plus, I write my workout the night before and then I have time to think about what I’m gonna do in the morning.

 

[rizzlekdizzle]

Hey man with shoulder pain on bench have you tried incline? I never do flat bench anymore and shoulder feels better for it - especially when you start benching over 100kg. @LevButlerov also got me onto doing a good pump set at the end of incline bench - 40kg for 30 reps really burns

My bloodwork came back at 1400ng/dl when I was taking 100mg after 4 weeks so I dropped it to 80mg. I’m shooting to live right around 1000ng/dlMy E2 was on the higher end but not too bad

Yeah I get to the gym about 0530, red light for 20min, then lift. Honestly I’m trying to get 30min of cardio in around 1600 so I wonder if that will help

 

[BigVelvetG]

Today’s workout was fantastic. I tried something new today with leg day. I followed a John meadows style workout that left me with baby deer legs after. The main difference was working to failure on the first 3 lifts then adding some cluster sets in on several of the later lifts.

Leg curls
Safety bar squats
Hip press
Reverse lunge cluster sets
Banded barbell stiff legged deadlifts
Standing calf raises with the safety bar

those are 17 reps there?

I know the notebook is a little confusing
It was 17kg and each set is done to an RPE of 10 and the clusters are to failure

@MrGainezzz i think people on here should be mature enough to not consider a naked dude something sexual. and if they aren't then shame on them. anyway i like you posted this. can tell you aren't holding excess fat around the stomach and butt. that is a common issue with middle aged men

Thanks @stevesmi. I agree. And yeah, I just can’t get rid of that belly fat area. It’s hanging on hard

 

[stevesmi]

Thanks @stevesmi. I agree. And yeah, I just can’t get rid of that belly fat area. It’s hanging on hard

usually in men its the last place we store it. so you gotta keep losing body fat.

 

[BigVelvetG]

I just upped my Reta to 3 this week and I can probably drop a couple hundred calories. I’ve already increased my cardio so we shall see if it helps. I’ve also recently learned that my thyroid medication is probably making me hang on to fat that I would otherwise be losing. I’m about to change to an NDT from the levothyroxine that I’m on. Hopefully that will help too

I definitely like the nude pictures. You should feel very open about posting that. @MrGainezzz I think it's very alpha to go around in nude. I walk around nude all day and night in my house.

I’m really trying to stay on top of any issues and be honest with myself about how I’m feeling. I need to get a fitness monitor of some type that I can wear around. I just haven’t found one that I like yet

 

[BigVelvetG]

bump the dips if you can

I always do a cluster set at the end of them to make sure I burn it out. I’ll do the last set, count to 15, then go for as many as I can, count to 15 and do it again, and then one more time. I try not to leave anything on the table

 

[ceo]

Workout today was good. It’s a little hard to follow John meadow’s sometimes but I pushed to failure on everything and got a great pump. These cluster sets are no joke

@MrGainezzz Bros, John Meadows is a good dude. I'm glad you're getting a good pump and you're pushing yourself to failure. That shows that you're dedicated.

 

[ROIDDERS]

Solid workout today. I’m working with a coach at my gym now and he’s got me adding in some metabolic conditioning 3 days a week. I like it so far.

That's good that your coach is challenging you. Metabolic conditioning 3 days a week is definitely something different. We don't see that very often. @MrGainezzz

 

[BigVelvetG]

He used to be a football coach for a few different colleges. It seems like he knows what he’s doing

I always do a cluster set at the end of them to make sure I burn it out. I’ll do the last set, count to 15, then go for as many as I can, count to 15 and do it again, and then one more time. I try not to leave anything on the table

Try do drop set more towards 25 if you can.

 

[Noah Wixx]

bump the dips if you can

Keep it uo

@MrGainezzz can definitely tell you’re leaving out and putting quality muscle in big guy

 

[2Thick]

I’m really trying to stay on top of any issues and be honest with myself about how I’m feeling. I need to get a fitness monitor of some type that I can wear around. I just haven’t found one that I like yet

well its good to do that. they have those apple watch things

 

[LevButlerov]

Today’s workout with some 40kg ez bar curls

25 dips thats a win you looking good and pumped in the pic! @MrGainezzz

 

[BigVelvetG]

Quick question for anyone. Has anyone experienced itching across the chest area using Anavar /proviron? Is this a sign of liver issues? I don’t think I have any other signs of issues. I ordered a urine test to check but I don’t know. I can grab a blood test early if need be. The itching isn’t terrible, just slight but I’ve noticed it for a couple of days.

Just did a quick search on the benefits of psyllium and I didn’t realize it did all that. Prebiotic, cholesterol, satiety, blood sugar. I just ordered some

Bro, psyllium husk with apple cider vinegar (with mother) before meals was a game changer for me. Then probiotics after eating.

Big difference in those before and after shots too great work, looking like BF% going down.
