Approved Log Testosterone Equipoise HGH Cycle Log

[Stans]

Welcome to my first ever log! I’m excited to be given the chance by @Core Pharma to log for them on Evo. I’ve been on here for a little while now, it really is a great community where we have access to some awesome vendors.

I’ve been running Core products since June 25, never had an issue and have had multiple bloods done showing impressive numbers.

Last year I finished a dieting phase, so I am currently transitioning into higher cals and higher peds starting in 2026.

The goal is to become bigger and better, while trying to stay as lean as possible, while also keeping an eye on health markers and trying to stay as healthy as I can.

So below is some stats etc detailing what I will be logging.

Age- 36
Height- 173cm
Current weight- 76.6Kg

Training histoy- 6 years, with the last 15 months taking peds/trt

Cycle design-

Test e- 325mgs (Pinning ED)

EQ- 75mgs (Pinning 2x weekly)

Reta- 1.5mg per week (this may be coming out/dropped depending on appetite as food increases)

HGH- 4Ius every night before bed (first time running GH, working up from 2iu)

Hcg- 250-500iu twice weekly


So as I am currently coming out of a dieting phase and TRT doses, I am slowly tirating up the dosage to reach the above numbers, starting this week. From there bloodwork will be done after 6 weeks for me to assess the Test:eq ratio. In the past I have aromatised heavy, but after receiving some solid advice, I am erring on the side of not trying to crush my e2!!

Supps
Fish oil- 2000mg per day
Nac- 600mg per day
Hydration salts
Multi vitamin
Calcium and vitamin d3
Magnesium glycinate 140mg
Zinc 25mg

Cialis/telm to be added if blood pressure requires it



Electrolyte intake, aiming for-

Sodium 6k per day

Potassium 4K per day

Water intake- 5-6L daily

I’m a busy tradie that works outdoors most the time. So hitting 6L is easy and actually trying to go over that in summer months.


Diet- Currently 2800 cals. Plan to bump as required.

P-205g
C- 340g
Fats- 55-60g

The moving number here will be the carbs as food increases.

I will go into more detail regarding diet in future posts. For the most part my diet is the same every day. Oats for breakfast, chicken/rice for lunch etc, you guys know the deal!

Training-5x per week

Tuesday- shoulders/arms
Wednesday- legs
Thursday- Back/chest
Saturday-legs
Sunday- Chest/back legs

Again will go into deeper detail in future logs regarding the above workouts.

Summary-

I’ve come to realise less peds is more. If I can do this safely and make some gains along the way then that is enough for me.

I am obviously still learning, I know essentially what is a drop in the ocean compared to a lot of the other guys on here. So any advice is more than welcome and this log is also a great opportunity for me to learn and progress even more.

If funds allow in the coming weeks, might also look into the possibility of linking up with one of the coaches on here, as no doubt that would be a huge benefit. So my above plans could all change very quick if that goes ahead!!

Finally a massive thank you to @Core Pharma @Core Pharma Rep for this opportunity, I am committed to making the most of it.

Attached are a couple of recent physique photos, taken a few days ago. This is @150-175mg test E per week.

Fuck yeah brother this whole layout is on point and composition is right there for a solid push phase.

What your most recent bloods look like? Hba1c?

Smart move with the test eq ratios mate! Easier to control high estrogen while you adjust then it is waiting to bring it up... trust me lol

Want to max out your most tolarable e2 level for maxing igf1 and the health benifits.

Only one thing that stood out for me.. why the hcg?

Thanks for the kind words bro.

So my last bloods were just with Aussie scripts as pretty much just been on trt, with the exception of a little mast p added in from October-December.
They were from a week or two ago, I will get round to editing my personal info and putting them up here for others more knowledgeable to take a look at.

Regards the hcg, has been in the mix just to keep the nuts functioning on the lower doses. I will likely finish the vial I’m on and take it out tbh.

Yeah awesome brother keen to see them.
On the hcg, understandable if your trying to knock the mrs up right now but other then that in this setting just a wast of money in my opinion.

Keen to follow you push phase brother looks like you have a very productive year ahead

Great start @Stans
Looking lean brother

Heaps of detail in this post,
Great EQ to test ratio, that was some great advice you recieved, much easier to lower E2 then it is to raise it when crashed.

Definitely get a coach, its the small changes they make that can have huge outcomes

Nice work @Core Pharma @Core Pharma Rep this will be a great addition to your team.

Detailed start to the log bro! Will definitely be giving it a follow

welcome to the EVO family @Stans happy to see you start your log, you look really good and clean, tight lean look and really hard mass.
Please get some TD pics up since you on team @Core Pharma

welcome to the EVO family @Stans happy to see you start your log, you look really good and clean, tight lean look and really hard mass.

Thanks for the welcome mate appreciate the nice words @LevButlerov

This was a recent TD of Core test e that I’m currently running. As and when stuff lands will be sure to drop more TD snaps!

 

[Stans]

Thanks for all the welcome messages and support above guys, really appreciate making me feel welcome!

As promised earlier, I am posting most recent bloods, taken 6th Jan 2026.
My protocol for this was 175mg test E per week, pinning ED in the afternoons.
The bloods were drawn first thing in the morning.
@Core Pharma @Core Pharma Rep Take a look at those test numbers guys

So the e2 was slightly high, to be expected, I have aromatised heavy previously. However feeling pretty good, no high e2 symptoms, so not too unhappy with that number. Moving forwards the EQ is being used to (hopefully) control this.
If anyone would like to offer any advice on the bloods please feel free.

So the plan for this next week-
225mg test E per week ED pins
30mg EQ per week
GH 2.5iu before bed
Reta- 1.5mg 1x weekly
Cals- 2800 daily

As detailed in my first post, slowly tirating up doses here to get to where I want to be. So the test and Eq are the same as last week, only raising the GH and food a touch.

Will be sure to update here as the week progresses.

You're looking good in those photos. Very lean!

Your plan looks good.

Can you post some typical workouts including exercises and weights used?

@Stans I definitely notice a tren where people are going the less PED route and realizing that it's more. Back in the older days you'd have to argue that concept with people.

Test e- 325mgs (Pinning ED)

EQ- 75mgs (Pinning 2x weekly)

Reta- 1.5mg per week (this may be coming out/dropped depending on appetite as food increases)

HGH- 4Ius every night before bed (first time running GH, working up from 2iu)

Hcg- 250-500iu twice weekly


So as I am currently coming out of a dieting phase and TRT doses, I am slowly tirating up the dosage to reach the above numbers, starting this week. From there bloodwork will be done after 6 weeks for me to assess the Test:eq ratio. In the past I have aromatised heavy, but after receiving some solid advice, I am erring on the side of not trying to crush my e2!!

Supps
Fish oil- 2000mg per day
Nac- 600mg per day
Hydration salts
Multi vitamin
Calcium and vitamin d3
Magnesium glycinate 140mg
Zinc 25mg

Cialis/telm to be added if blood pressure requires it



Electrolyte intake, aiming for-

Sodium 6k per day

Potassium 4K per day

Water intake- 5-6L daily

I’m a busy tradie that works outdoors most the time. So hitting 6L is easy and actually trying to go over that in summer months.


Diet- Currently 2800 cals. Plan to bump as required.

P-205g
C- 340g
Fats- 55-60g

The moving number here will be the carbs as food increases.

I will go into more detail regarding diet in future posts. For the most part my diet is the same every day. Oats for breakfast, chicken/rice for lunch etc, you guys know the deal!

Training-5x per week

Tuesday- shoulders/arms
Wednesday- legs
Thursday- Back/chest
Saturday-legs
Sunday- Chest/back legs

Again will go into deeper detail in future logs regarding the above workouts.

Summary-

I’ve come to realise less peds is more. If I can do this safely and make some gains along the way then that is enough for me.

I am obviously still learning, I know essentially what is a drop in the ocean compared to a lot of the other guys on here. So any advice is more than welcome and this log is also a great opportunity for me to learn and progress even more.

If funds allow in the coming weeks, might also look into the possibility of linking up with one of the coaches on here, as no doubt that would be a huge benefit. So my above plans could all change very quick if that goes ahead!!

Finally a massive thank you to @Core Pharma @Core Pharma Rep for this opportunity, I am committed to making the most of it.

Attached are a couple of recent physique photos, taken a few days ago. This is @150-175mg test E per week.

You sure you don't have something growing out of your leg because those quads are absolutely huge? @Stans and the best thing of all is that they're peeled as well so good job on that.

Welcome to my first ever log! I’m excited to be given the chance by @Core Pharma to log for them on Evo. I’ve been on here for a little while now, it really is a great community where we have access to some awesome vendors.

I’ve been running Core products since June 25, never had an issue and have had multiple bloods done showing impressive numbers.

Last year I finished a dieting phase, so I am currently transitioning into higher cals and higher peds starting in 2026.

The goal is to become bigger and better, while trying to stay as lean as possible, while also keeping an eye on health markers and trying to stay as healthy as I can.

So below is some stats etc detailing what I will be logging.

Looking really solid on this. Overall the summary is on point. I love that you are doing testosterone at the dosage you're doing. That's a good cruising dose. @Stans

 

[Core Pharma]

Thanks for all the welcome messages and support above guys, really appreciate making me feel welcome!

As promised earlier, I am posting most recent bloods, taken 6th Jan 2026.
My protocol for this was 175mg test E per week, pinning ED in the afternoons.
The bloods were drawn first thing in the morning.
@Core Pharma @Core Pharma Rep Take a look at those test numbers guys

So the e2 was slightly high, to be expected, I have aromatised heavy previously. However feeling pretty good, no high e2 symptoms, so not too unhappy with that number. Moving forwards the EQ is being used to (hopefully) control this.
If anyone would like to offer any advice on the bloods please feel free.

So the plan for this next week-
225mg test E per week ED pins
30mg EQ per week
GH 2.5iu before bed
Reta- 1.5mg 1x weekly
Cals- 2800 daily

As detailed in my first post, slowly tirating up doses here to get to where I want to be. So the test and Eq are the same as last week, only raising the GH and food a touch.

Will be sure to update here as the week progresses.

Fantastic numbers brother, loving the detail of this log already!

Welcome back to your first ever log bro. Looks like you've put a lot of thought into this and I like your macros and cycle too. Great Test/EQ ratio.

You look phenomenal already your base is where a lot of us would like to end up so this log is going to take you to that next level. Great quad shot by the way!

Following with enthusiasm!

am i reading it right 273 E2?

 

[Stans]

am i reading it right 273 E2?

Yes sir 273 for E2.
So even with every day pins and being pretty lean, I aromatise strongly.
So the eq is being added with this in mind.
Happy enough at the moment at those levels, and I’d rather not go to heavy with the eq to start with an end up tanking the e2!
Any thoughts are welcome

Those Quads!!!!

 

[Stans]

Week is going as planned, calories and meals being nailed, daily steps being hit again after all the wet weather. Monday nights I prep all my slin pins for the week, I find once this is done, daily pinning is easy. Always a good day to pin @Core Pharma gear

Couple things I have noticed so far, appetite is definitely increasing despite bumping extra 150 cals. It won’t be long until I’m back over 3000 cals, depending how the scale moves.

And I am feeling kind of sleepy/groggy during the day. I’m guessing this is from bumping the GH this week.It’s not causing a problem, energy levels are good, just something to keep in mind.

So Tuesday nights I train shoulders/arms. Now during the cut I definitely lost strength, but energy and performance is slowly on the rise again. Workout consisted of-

Pin loaded Machine lateral raise
46kgx10
53kgx 9

Standing DB lateral raise
8kgx15
10kgx12

Smith machine OH press
60kgx11
65kgx 9

Smith machine skullcrusher press
25Kgx12
27.5kgx10

Plate loaded machine row- overhand grip- rear delt focus
40kgx 9
40kgx 8

Body weight dips tripped focused
13
11

Standing alternating DB bicep curl
20kgx8
20kgx6
Drop set 12.5kgx6

So most of my workouts will be around 12-15 working sets. I try to focus on every set being pushed to failure, and concentrating on form and tempo. I prefer this kind of efficient style of training as opposed to lots of aimless volume.

With the machine row, I will sometimes swap rear delt isolation for an overhand grip row, where the elbows travel in the direction of the rear delts and traps. Despite working back/lats, I find I can still target a lot of rear delt this way, especially getting a full stretch at the bottom.

I will hit 3-4 more sets of shoulders on Thursday/sundays, but this is pretty much all the arm work I’m doing right now. Invariably there is no ‘perfect split’, and I’d rather focus more time on back, shoulders and chest.
Maybe at some stage I’ll use a rest day to only train arms if I can find the time.

With training done, time to walk the dog and get in the rest of my daily steps, 13500 yesterday which is around normal.

I am obviously still learning, I know essentially what is a drop in the ocean compared to a lot of the other guys on here. So any advice is more than welcome and this log is also a great opportunity for me to learn and progress even more.

If funds allow in the coming weeks, might also look into the possibility of linking up with one of the coaches on here, as no doubt that would be a huge benefit. So my above plans could all change very quick if that goes ahead!!

Finally a massive thank you to @Core Pharma @Core Pharma Rep for this opportunity, I am committed to making the most of it.

Attached are a couple of recent physique photos, taken a few days ago. This is @150-175mg test E per week.

@Stans Welcome to the forums bro! Keep the log coming! I will be following along!

 

[LevButlerov]

Week is going as planned, calories and meals being nailed, daily steps being hit again after all the wet weather. Monday nights I prep all my slin pins for the week, I find once this is done, daily pinning is easy. Always a good day to pin @Core Pharma gear

Couple things I have noticed so far, appetite is definitely increasing despite bumping extra 150 cals. It won’t be long until I’m back over 3000 cals, depending how the scale moves.

And I am feeling kind of sleepy/groggy during the day. I’m guessing this is from bumping the GH this week.It’s not causing a problem, energy levels are good, just something to keep in mind.

So Tuesday nights I train shoulders/arms. Now during the cut I definitely lost strength, but energy and performance is slowly on the rise again. Workout consisted of-

Pin loaded Machine lateral raise
46kgx10
53kgx 9

Standing DB lateral raise
8kgx15
10kgx12

Smith machine OH press
60kgx11
65kgx 9

Smith machine skullcrusher press
25Kgx12
27.5kgx10

Plate loaded machine row- overhand grip- rear delt focus
40kgx 9
40kgx 8

Body weight dips tripped focused
13
11

Standing alternating DB bicep curl
20kgx8
20kgx6
Drop set 12.5kgx6

So most of my workouts will be around 12-15 working sets. I try to focus on every set being pushed to failure, and concentrating on form and tempo. I prefer this kind of efficient style of training as opposed to lots of aimless volume.

With the machine row, I will sometimes swap rear delt isolation for an overhand grip row, where the elbows travel in the direction of the rear delts and traps. Despite working back/lats, I find I can still target a lot of rear delt this way, especially getting a full stretch at the bottom.

I will hit 3-4 more sets of shoulders on Thursday/sundays, but this is pretty much all the arm work I’m doing right now. Invariably there is no ‘perfect split’, and I’d rather focus more time on back, shoulders and chest.
Maybe at some stage I’ll use a rest day to only train arms if I can find the time.

With training done, time to walk the dog and get in the rest of my daily steps, 13500 yesterday which is around normal.

good volume happy to hear you're training hard dips are the best get more sets in there, lets push it and hard @Stans

Thanks for all the welcome messages and support above guys, really appreciate making me feel welcome!

As promised earlier, I am posting most recent bloods, taken 6th Jan 2026.
My protocol for this was 175mg test E per week, pinning ED in the afternoons.
The bloods were drawn first thing in the morning.
@Core Pharma @Core Pharma Rep Take a look at those test numbers guys

So the e2 was slightly high, to be expected, I have aromatised heavy previously. However feeling pretty good, no high e2 symptoms, so not too unhappy with that number. Moving forwards the EQ is being used to (hopefully) control this.
If anyone would like to offer any advice on the bloods please feel free.

So the plan for this next week-
225mg test E per week ED pins
30mg EQ per week
GH 2.5iu before bed
Reta- 1.5mg 1x weekly
Cals- 2800 daily

As detailed in my first post, slowly tirating up doses here to get to where I want to be. So the test and Eq are the same as last week, only raising the GH and food a touch.

Will be sure to update here as the week progresses.

Bloods look good bro! You test for ifg1 and hba1c?

Yes sir 273 for E2.
So even with every day pins and being pretty lean, I aromatise strongly.
So the eq is being added with this in mind.
Happy enough at the moment at those levels, and I’d rather not go to heavy with the eq to start with an end up tanking the e2!
Any thoughts are welcome

Not a major issue at that level bro especially if no negative symptoms obviously quite elevated still. Eq should get things closer to where you would want them anyway.
Where does your coach like your e2 to sit?

Fuck yeah brother nice! Love that level of volume and the intensifier on accessories

Thank you brother!
No igf1 testing, I only added in GH 10 days ago for the first time,or hba1c. I will be doing imedical bb4 in the next 8 weeks after eq starts doing its thing.
E2 is high on paper, I’ve seen it a lot higher in the past though when I was a little more inexperienced shall we say

At the moment I’m without a coach, but I have a couple in mind who I might hit up shortly. I will need the guidance moving up on dosing I feel. Helping to read bloods, mitigate sides etc

Didnt realise you were steering your own ship mate fuck that makes your physique even more impressive!! Well done bro for real.

Mate it is high but not wild like some bloods i have seen lately for real hahaha.

Having a coach just takes the emotional guess workout out of it brother. Your work ethic is clearly elite as you wouldnt get that lean if it wasnt. Having a coach set the structure an plan just allows you to show up and get the work done. Progress is supercharged this way

Started the weekend off with leg day. Been thinking about my training this week, there’s a couple areas I need to prioritise a little more. One of them being calf’s!

I’ve had a bit of a chronic ligament injury for the last few years in my right foot, so any calf raise/press has not been the focus, just trying to save on wear and tear. But the result of that being my calf’s have some catching up to do, so after doing a couple months of running glow last year, it is feeling pretty good to push a little harder, so will be increasing the volume on them.



Onto the leg day. Saturdays I’ll do a quad focused leg day, and it is my favourite training day of the week.

Leg extension
90kgx 8
85kgx 9

Seated leg curl
62.5kgx 12
67.5kgx 10
70kgx 8

Smith machine squat
110kgx 10
110kgx 8

Hip adduction-
45kgx 11
45kgx 7
Straight into drop set 30Kgx 8

Calf press- pin loaded leg press
3x sets to failure

Pin loaded leg press
125kgx 14
145kg x12
Straight into drop set 95kgx 8


Overall feeling energetic and getting stronger again which is nice. Extra food and the moderate jump up in test doing its thing @Core Pharma

@Stans I hear you, man. Sometimes these injuries can be really annoying. My feet bother me when I really overdo it as well. It's just something that's typical of aches and pains as we get older.

Start of week update-

Managed to train every day over the long weekend, though I didn’t log any weights after the last leg day.
So at the end of last week I was actually around 0.6kgs down in weight, so I enjoyed 2 nights off meal plan over the weekend with the Mrs and some friends. Offset with plenty of walking haha, hit between 15-17k steps daily.

So with that in mind I need to up cals. It’s been a lot of fun and effort the last 4 months getting lean but it’s time to push the new phase on. Food for the this week will be around 3000-3100 cals. This should be around maintenance/slight surplus for me.
Meals/diet pretty much exact same, I’m just adding in more rice, oats and a couple serves of pitted dates, good source of carbs and also potassium.
I’ve still got Reta in, but will decide on appetite whether it stays in. I’m hungry all the time at moment, just wary if it will hinder my appetite with more food coming in.

I’ve been sleeping great being on GH, though I’m still feeling a little groggy at times throughout the day. So I’ll be keeping the dose where it is for now and hopefully that subsides and I can push it higher soon.
A slight bump on the test and eq, it will now be
275mg test e p/w pinning ED
60mg Eq p/w pinning Mon & Fri

Still working towards the goal dose of 325/75mg and from there I will draw bloods. I didn’t want to jump straight to that dose coming from TRT. Rather raise it steadily a monitor any symptoms and how I’m feeling.
So far no high E2 symptoms, but I do have adex on hand if needed.
Blood pressure also sitting in a healthy spot at the moment at 109/60.

Attached some photos of cals and meal prep.

So far no high E2 symptoms, but I do have adex on hand if needed.
Blood pressure also sitting in a healthy spot at the moment at 109/60.

Attached some photos of cals and meal prep.

Great detailed log. I am always jealous of guys with BP below 110

I had a similar calf issue with my right Achilles always getting tendonitis if I trained them hard and 6months on @Core Pharma glow and it’s tollway vanished, I still treat them cautiously but I can push them quite hard no with no issue.

Start of week update-

Managed to train every day over the long weekend, though I didn’t log any weights after the last leg day.
So at the end of last week I was actually around 0.6kgs down in weight, so I enjoyed 2 nights off meal plan over the weekend with the Mrs and some friends. Offset with plenty of walking haha, hit between 15-17k steps daily.

So with that in mind I need to up cals. It’s been a lot of fun and effort the last 4 months getting lean but it’s time to push the new phase on. Food for the this week will be around 3000-3100 cals. This should be around maintenance/slight surplus for me.
Meals/diet pretty much exact same, I’m just adding in more rice, oats and a couple serves of pitted dates, good source of carbs and also potassium.
I’ve still got Reta in, but will decide on appetite whether it stays in. I’m hungry all the time at moment, just wary if it will hinder my appetite with more food coming in.

I’ve been sleeping great being on GH, though I’m still feeling a little groggy at times throughout the day. So I’ll be keeping the dose where it is for now and hopefully that subsides and I can push it higher soon.
A slight bump on the test and eq, it will now be
275mg test e p/w pinning ED
60mg Eq p/w pinning Mon & Fri

Still working towards the goal dose of 325/75mg and from there I will draw bloods. I didn’t want to jump straight to that dose coming from TRT. Rather raise it steadily a monitor any symptoms and how I’m feeling.

Let’s see if it stays below 110!
Glow is awesome for fixing up those types of issues. Anything from Core is always quality

Bro the amount Glow fixed my “haggardness” is obscene. My loose skin is infinitely better and my face looks 10 years younger. Even my acne is cleared up 90% and the shit I do get doesn’t appear red and angry anymore. Magic compound

Bro I have the exact same experience regarding skin. Total game changer in skincare routine for sure with the ghk component in there.

Last session before the weekend, back & chest workout.

Isometric pull down- underhand grip pin loaded
45kg x 10
45kg x 8

Plated loaded low row
45kg x 8
45k x 7

Body weight pull up
9 reps
7 reps

Pullover machine pin loaded
1x lighter set to failure

Incline smith machine chest press
90kg x 8
90kg x 7
70kg x 10

Horizontal plane chest fly plate loaded
40Kg x 11
40Kg x 10

So back normally has the priority on this day for me. Yesterday was feeling especially fatigued even after a rest the day before. By the time I got to chest I was pretty much much running on empty! Volume slightly down on the day prior, but still 12 working sets pushed hard.

The scale weight is up to 77.3kg to the past couple of days. The first time in 5 months there has been an upward trend.
This week I have actually found myself hungrier than ever, even during the peak dieting phase. The higher peds an addition of GH no doubt causing this spike. The sleepiness I am still struggling with from GH. So I might try adding more carbs in during the day, or if that doesn’t fix it even drop back down to 2iu and reassess.

Either way I’m in a good spot to be growing now, hoping to make some good progress in the weeks/months ahead. Will take some end of month progress photos over the weekend.

When are you pinning your hgh? I cannot sleep if I pin it at night or anytime after 2pm so I do all mine in the morning and if I am running 6+ iu I’ll do IM shot preworkout and a subQ shot post workout.

I like the back/chest combo as well as my back and chest are more developed than my arms and legs putting them together frees up days to play catch up

Pinning GH at night bro just before bed.
Sleeping real good just getting groggy during the day time. Hoping it passes soon enough as I get used to it.

Chest/back works great for me, lets me get 2 leg days in per week.

Big improvement on last week in terms of strength and endurance. Pretty much the exact same workout and a lot of lifts trending up.
For hacks and leg press feet position is low on the platform, and trying to get calf’s touching hamstrings for a deep rom.

End of month progress photos uploaded. I don’t really enjoy taking photos or trying to pose, but I’ll try and be consistent with it as photos are a great tool for tracking progress.
Pretty pleased with the condition I’ve managed to keep for the past month reverse dieting. Feeling and looking slightly fuller than pre Xmas.
Now to try and put some size and strength on without getting fat!!

Good upper day to finish the week off. Feeling durable and energetic in the gym again.
I’ve added in some isolated shoulder work on this day to get the volume up throughout the week.
I’m chasing the 100kg incline bench on the smith machine again. Should be achievable with more weight coming back. Will try prioritise this movement again as chest has not been the focus for a while.
Also be focusing on adding more weighted pull ups too, as opposed to lat pull downs.
Will do a log on daily food/Supps in the week ahead.

This past week I’ve added in more carbs and bumped calories up slightly. I have noticed a big difference in day time lethargy after introducing GH, this is now not an issue.
So maybe it was a combination of not eating enough carbs during the day, and getting used to GH.
Feeling good at this amount of food, no hunger issues anymore, and I am not struggling with any digestion issues as of yet.
Will be keeping the GH at 2.5ius for a little while now, before bumping it up if no sides continue.

As for other peds, still the same as last week,
275mg Test E pinned daily
60mg EQ split across 2 injections.

Was a 5am leg day yesterday, had to do shift work afterwards in the afternoon so got the training in early. So good training in an empty gym.
Session was good, strength is still trending. Weight is going up and the legs still seem to be getting more veiny!
So maybe the eq is starting to slowly do its thing. I definitely feel more endurance at the moment. I am feeling really good on the test/eq/Gh combo. I spent much of last year stock piling Mast whenever it became available with the shortages, wishing I invested more on EQ now

So today has been a very different day, wasn’t home from work until past midnight so lots of sleeping. I did manage to check BP, still trending well at 107/63, and hydration is through the roof at the moment, 6L easy in the warm weather.
Time to go train upper last session for the week.

Love the smith machine for everything actually, especially squats though. Like the additional stability, lets me focus on the range of the movement.
Hack, pendulum and smith machine are what I go for. Haven’t barbell squatted for years.

Really good looking leg workout. Good number and selection of exercises. I like the leg curls first. Makes my following exercises feel so much better.

 

[Stans]

Plan for week ahead

Diet
Calories- 3442
Protein- 215 grams
Carbs- 495 grams
Fats- 48 grams

Hydration
6L daily. Weekdays aiming for 6.5L

Electrolytes
Sodium 6000mg
Potassium 4500mg

AAS
Test e 350mg per week (pinned daily)
Equipoise 75mg per week (pinned twice weekly)
HGH 3.3iu every night before bed

Cardio
12k steps daily

I have reached the planned load of anabolics, I decided on 350mg for easy dosing, as it’s 0.2ml daily. Growth hormone has been bumped to 3.3ius per bed time, the plan is still to go higher in the coming weeks. I will continue to monitor for any sides.
Bloods will be taken in around 6 weeks time, so will see how the eq is affecting me and what it’s doing to E2.

In terms of injecting, I switched to every day for test about 3 months ago. And it is has been working well for me. Monday night I backfill all my slin pins for the week. 27/29 gauge rotating sites are delts, lats, glutes, ventro glutes and quads. Takes a bit of time to backfill everything, but once it’s done the routine is easy and takes 30 seconds per day.

The diet is staying the same, and will be likely for a few weeks. I need to get better at tracking my weight. Sometimes in a growth phase I can get lazy with this, unlike when dieting down.
My weight last week was sitting around 79-79.5kg, so that’s up around 3kgs since Christmas.

In terms of cardio, the only activity I do for this is walking. So with a busy job on my feet all day, and walking after work, it’s easy for me to hit 10k steps. During the warmer months naturally this is higher, currently hitting over 12k per day. I am trying to stick to these numbers even in a surplus phase, for general health and wellbeing. It is a goal to try and maintain these numbers throughout this phase.

Rest day today, back in the gym tomorrow for arms/shoulders.

Thank you mate. I find around 12-15 working sets pushed hard is plenty for leg day.
Always legs curls/extensions before any squats or presses. Getting old and need to warm the joints

Nice couple of updates brother. Cycle looks good. How is your trai ing program set out bro?

Hey bro, so it is something like this at the moment. Obviously can vary a little bit sets and excersises will be-

Monday
Rest

Tuesday- Shoulders/arms
4x side delt/lateral raise
2x overhead press
2x rear delt fly/pull movement
4x Tricep isolation/2 sets upright dips
3x bicep isolation

Wednesday- Legs hamstring/glute dominant
2x leg curl
4x leg extension or 2x leg extension 2x leg press
2x smith machine RDL
2x seated leg curl
2x hip abduction
3x calf isolation

Thursday- Back and chest
2x weighted pull up
2x Iso pull down
3-4x Row variant
2x smith machine incline or incline machine press
2x Chest dips or decline machine press
1-2x sets fly variant

Friday
Rest

Saturday- legs quad dominant
2x leg extension
3x leg curl variant
2x smith machine squat or hack squat
2x leg press
2x hip adductor
3x calf isolation

Sunday- Upper
2x incline smith machine or machine incline press
2x weighted chest dips
1x fly variant
3x row variant
2x cable pull down or bodyweight pull ups
3-4x side delt/lateral raise variant/ 2 x rear delt fly


So I have alternate days, Tuesday is more shoulder focused with some arm volume.
Wednesday leg day is glute/hamstring priority. Thursday is back and chest with the first sets being back, trying to work on weighted pull ups again and progressing them.
Saturday is another leg day this time focusing more on quad volume and strength progressing on squats/ pressing.
Sunday I then prioritise chest pressing, followed by some back and more shoulder volume in at the end.

This is a split that works well for me and that I enjoy. I like having 2 leg days and being able to get weekly volume in across 2 days.
