Yesterday’s lift and today’s cardio. The lift was good and the cardio sucked but not too bad
Cardio consisted of 20min HIIT followed by 20min steady state walking on the curve.

I found f that actually enjoy 20 second sprints 40 seconds off on the treadmill at a 10 incline starting at speed 6 then increasing by .5 each minute until I’m sprinting at 10 or 11 for the 20 seconds. Then I work my way back down in speed by .5 minutes til I get back to 6. It generally takes a little more than 20 minutes to complete

Work my way down by .5 each minute till I get back to 6

Thoughts/Reflections:

First day of the revised workout split. Went well - and hamstrings felt strong today. I am open to any critiques and or suggestions on revisions that may be needed on splitting my leg workouts into anterior/Posterior days - will be a work in progress to fine tune it.

On a side note: does anyone else still log their lifts the old school way - pen and paper?

Those little sprints really go a long way. @BigVelvetG it helps build up a strong heart and it helps you get in a good workout quick.
 
A fellow notebook user for sure. I need to see what else he’s doing.
I’d be pretty pleased if I ever get to his level of physique.
For years that's how I would track stuff man. That was before all this technology crap. I really don't like it at all. You shouldn't even be allowed to take a phone in the gym. @BigVelvetG

I agree completely. Luckily I’m the only person in my gym at 430 in the morning but I’d flip out if I had to work out around a bunch of phone zombies

yeah that's definitely something that I don't agree with. I actually broke someone's phone a few weeks ago because they kept hogging up the machine on their phone. The gym manager made me buy him a new phone; otherwise he would have called the police on me

Hahaha. I can imagine the look on his face. I think it it should be completely legal to smash someone’s phone or camera on a tripod in a gym anytime you see it.

Afterwards the guy whose phone I broke ended up buying me a smoothie. I think he realized why I got mad.

  • Retatrutide 3mg weekly (Mon)
  • Injectable L-carnitine 300mg taken before cardio sessions 3x weekly.

Weekly Check-In Stats
Bodyweight: 189
Waist: 86cm or 34in
BP: 122/78
Sleep (hrs/night): ~7 hrs
Check in photos: Yes


Nutrition
I’m feeling good at around 2200 calories this week but I’ll be taking this week to plan my meals for next week. I’ll be pushing up to 2500-3000 as long as my waist stays consistent. I’ll post my meal plan near the end of the week.

Supplements

  • N2Guard 7 caps daily
  • NAC 600mg (Bulk Supplements)
  • Probiotics (Lab4)
  • L-Citruline 6 grams before workouts (bulk Supplements)
  • Creatine 10mg daily
  • Niacin 640 mg daily
  • LMNT 1-2 sachets daily

Weekly Symptom Tracking
•Overall I still feel good with plenty of energy. The only nagging issue is my shoulder

Anxiety / Irritability1

Joint Pain2
Water Retention1

Soreness4
Shoulder Pain7
Notes:
Visual perception
I still like what I’m seeing in the mirror. I’m definitely more vascular and it’s nice to not be carrying around all that extra weight. I’m going to get one more set of bloods in a few weeks to be sure I know where I am before pushing on my Test only cycle. This pushes my cruise out an extra week but I’m not in a hurry. That’s what I keep reminding myself. It should also give a bit more time for my shoulder to heal hopefully.
Shoulder
This week has been tough. I started shockwave therapy on my shoulder and it seems to have made it more sore. I’m hoping that’s the first stage of healing. We did two sessions this week and we will do another 2 sessions next week. I’m hoping once my low dose deca kicks in, I’ll get a little more relief in the joint.
Sleep
I tried taking DSIP and it seemed like it was just keeping me awake. I’m going to wait a while before I try again.
Training
I’ll be going back to a 6 day training plan after next week and I’ll post the whole program up front when I do.

Today’s lift I did a little different.
I started with 20min cardio 20 sec sprints and 40 seconds rest. Then I worked 2 exercises of abs before I started my lift. Leg raises and cable crunches 3 sets each of 20 reps. Then I went into this lift with 45sec rest between each lift

big lifts today :D 60s on rows are strong @BigVelvetG how has your food been?

My food is the same as it was but I’m going to increase next week. I plan on pushing to a solid 2500 -2750 a day. I’ll post macros, meal prep and plan this weekend. I should get bloods done next week too. If all is well, I want to push my T up but I’ll wait for the labs before I plan that

Nice protocol and supplements, your physique looks good. So for you is this to look good with a better quality of life or is this a precursor for you to eventually get on stage and snag a masters category pro card. Either way you look damn good and I admire your work ethic.

Thanks man. No ambition to step on stage here. This is totally about better quality of life. I see so many older folks around me unable to move properly and I don’t want that for me. I want to look good for the beach and feel as good as I can for as long as I can.

lets post it up and prep :D we need to get food way up not on cals but macros :D @BigVelvetG

Love this, that’s my end goal. I need to be able to defend myself, I need to be able to perform for my partner, I would like to look good naked for said partner… lol!! But yeah you look great my brother.
 
Meal plan update. I’ve planned it where I can add in another 250 calories of monster mash if i need to and can force myself to eat it. Turns out this is a lot of food…

Here is my daily meal plan going forward. I generally keep this exact plan every day with few exceptions. Lunch might be two different proteins other than chicken or fish depending on what is available at the dining facility. I’m adding in the monster mash because I find I can generally still eat this and digest it fairly easily along with everything else I’m eating.

I’ll definitely try. I’m planning on getting bloodwork next Wednesday so I should have those results back by that weekend. If all goes well with that, I want to start pushing my test dose up toward 500.

500 test is fun i saw alot of success at that dose and strength.
 
It will be the first time I’ve ever gone over my trt Ill take it slow titrating up and hopefully I’ll get there.
Ive played around with alot of different doses and i much did the same way your thinking of doing it everything worked out really well for me.

THE MONSTER MASH!! I think you might have saved my life with this!!! I can slather CHOLULA all over it!!
Do you cook it in an electric skillet or bake it or crock??
 
Last edited:
yes you can my friend and it’s really not bad. You can use a beef bone broth instead of chicken and I make it all in the instant pot. I brown the meat first then dump in the spices, rice and bone broth and cook it on pressure for 6 minutes. Then stir in the spinach at the end
I have one!! I could do a cut with that and eat it everyday !! Maybe even use chicken.
Awesome food porn

@HarleyGuy check out the Monster Mash!!

Hello, 500 is already a significant amount. I’m curious about this change, especially since you’re on TRT doses — it could be interesting, so I’ll be waiting to hear about it. Best regards.

No freaking doubt. Been dealing with it since Sept / Oct and I’m so done with it. I feel like I’ve tried everything except a steroid shot. I might look into a prp shot next after I’m done with shockwave treatment

Weekly Symptom Tracking
Nothing new to report other than I had some nausea last week from drinking a couple of beers at a work function. It seems like even the random social alcohol is off limits to me now and I feel pretty ok with that.
Overall I still feel good with plenty of
energy. The only nagging issue is still my shoulder. I’m not sure the shockwave therapy I’ve been doing is actually helping.

Notes:
Visual perception
I’ve almost lost another half inch off the waist and that feels pretty good. I feel like I can see it in the mirror. I like the shape of what I’m seeing but I feel like I look small now. I need to start coaxing some of this tissue to grow and get bigger
Shoulder
The shoulder doesn’t seem to be getting better and it’s really frustrating me. I’m having a hard time planning out my training since I can’t do hardly anything with my upper body. I’ve got a plan for a legs and back focused training cycle that I think I’ll start next week. Hopefully I can get some relief by the time I’m done with it.
Sleep
Sleep is still tough but I think it’s getting better. I wonder if eating more is helping.

Training
Here is the first week of the basic plan I’ll be following. I plan to add some real cardio in the form of HIIT a few times a week and maybe some steady state on the weekends. I’m also going to have to modify some of the lifts for my shoulder. Like replacing bench press with light bamboo bar pressing and cable crossover presses.

Weekly Symptom Tracking
Nothing new to report other than I had some nausea last week from drinking a couple of beers at a work function. It seems like even the random social alcohol is off limits to me now and I feel pretty ok with that.
Overall I still feel good with plenty of
energy. The only nagging issue is still my shoulder. I’m not sure the shockwave therapy I’ve been doing is actually helping.

Notes:
Visual perception
I’ve almost lost another half inch off the waist and that feels pretty good. I feel like I can see it in the mirror. I like the shape of what I’m seeing but I feel like I look small now. I need to start coaxing some of this tissue to grow and get bigger
Shoulder
The shoulder doesn’t seem to be getting better and it’s really frustrating me. I’m having a hard time planning out my training since I can’t do hardly anything with my upper body. I’ve got a plan for a legs and back focused training cycle that I think I’ll start next week. Hopefully I can get some relief by the time I’m done with it.
Sleep
Sleep is still tough but I think it’s getting better. I wonder if eating more is helping.

Training
Here is the first week of the basic plan I’ll be following. I plan to add some real cardio in the form of HIIT a few times a week and maybe some steady state on the weekends. I’m also going to have to modify some of the lifts for my shoulder. Like replacing bench press with light bamboo bar pressing and cable crossover presses.

How’s the minoxidil going for you so far ? Workout looked good today bro 🔥
 
I got part of my bloods back from Wednesday and my e2 is at 58.2pg/mL still don’t have a test number.

This is based on 4 weeks at 150mg split into two doses. I think this number is a bit higher than I would like to see so I’m moving to daily injections in hopes that it will stabilize and possibly lower my e2

The bloodwork that I got done doesn’t have all the biomarkers I wanted because I ordered the wrong one so I don’t know if I should follow through with this plan or wait another 4 weeks and I really want to start this cycle..
it only has e2, DHEA, testosterone and free testosterone @LevButlerov @HarleyGuy what do you think? Here is what I’m thinking…

On Monday, I’d to start pushing my testosterone up towards 500mg. Here is my plan.
  • Week 1 - 200mg
  • Week 2 - 250mg
  • Week 3 - 300mg
  • Week 4 - 300mg
    • Bloodwork
  • Week 5 -350mg (bloods dependent)
  • Week 6 - 400mg (bloods dependent)
  • Week 7 - 450mg (bloods dependent)
  • Week 8 - 500mg (bloods dependent)
    • Bloodwork
  • Week 9 - 500mg (bloods dependent)
  • Week 10 - 500mg (bloods dependent)
  • Week 11 - 500mg (bloods dependent)
  • Week 12 - 500mg (bloods dependent)
  • Week 13 back to TRT dose
    • 150mg
What do you guys think I should do?

How are you currently feeling with that E2 number ? Having any high estrogen sides ? Every since I moved to daily injections it’s made everything way more stable , highly recommend it

your E2 not that serious but a bit high tbh I wouldn't worry for now, but you can add 20mgs (yes 20 low dose eq)/week to balance it out @BigVelvetG
 
Do you think I should wait to start pushing up my testosterone or go with the plan I listed adding the EQ?
I would wait to push test lets add eq first

Shoulder
The shoulder is definitely getting better. It was hard to tell for a while there but I can see some real improvements this week. I’ve maxed out the settings on the shockwave therapy device and I’m tolerating way more pressure than usual which should mean it’s healing. It’s also feeling more stable. There’s still pain but I do think it’s heading in the right direction.

Sleep
Sleep is tracking better this week and I am feeling a bit more solid.

Training
Training will continue as planned
 
Little garage workout today with some light bench press coming back into the arena. The shoulder is slowly recovering and I can feel that I’m on the downhill slide with it right now so my goal is to push it just enough but not too much… added a little BFR on my curls for a sick pump with some light weight and decided my chest could use a bit more pain so I fed it some 2 plate squeezes and extensions. I don’t know what you call these but it’s where you squeeze two plates together and then extend your arms out and bring them back real slowly. All in all it’s a good day in the garage.

and smart staying on protocol lets see how you do long term on it
 
Today’s lift
Had shockwave therapy yesterday afternoon so the shoulder was still a little sore from that. Keeping the load light and the reps slow for now. At the rate this healing is going, I feel like I’ll be able to ramp back up in weight in a few weeks. My external rotations are getting a lot stronger in my warmup shoulder rehab exercises!!!!

Weekly Symptom Tracking
Nothing new to report. I’ve felt pretty good this week.

Symptom
Scale: 0 = None | 10 = Severe

Anxiety / Irritability0
Mood0
Libido10
Sleep Quality7
Appetite7
Joint Pain2
Water Retention2
Acne0
Soreness2
Shoulder Pain5
Notes:
Visual perception
I like what I’m seeing still as far as body fat but I need some growth.

Shoulder
The shoulder is still getting better
Sleep
Sleep has been a little better this week with the addition of melatonin.
Training
Does anyone here prescribe to a 3 day lifting routine? I did 8 weeks of it earlier this year and I felt pretty good but I didn’t know if it was really working for me other than letting me get 2-3 good cardio sessions in a week.

I generally lift 5 days a week but I never have time for more than one good cardio session a week consistently if I do that. Now that it’s warming up outside, I’ll probably start walking with a 40lbs weight vest more often.

So what do you think about a 3 day lifting routine schedule?
Bloodwork
The rest of my last panel showed up finally. Clearly it doesn’t have all the markers I would want but it does show why my E2 is high. In the scheme of things, I don’t think it’s that high at all. Also, I have no symptoms of high E2. Libido is on point and no nipple issues or emotions to speak of.

This test was taken while I was doing 150mg test a week split Monday and Thursday. I’ve now gone to 20mg daily

I got my sensitive E2 test back at 41
Looks like I will need to add Aromasin ( I have this on hand) if I want to take my test higher. What do you think @LevButlerov
I really want to start pushing up the test and I wouldn’t mind adding in some masteron ( I have 4000mg on hand) really chomping at the bit here and my shoulder is feeling better and getting stronger every day.

41 is not bad but a bit high you can up the aromasin if you wish :D but if you go up on the test you need to get the aromasin in there as you're on the higher range! how do you feel on these carbs? @BigVelvetG

I’m feeling really good. With my food. Most of my carbs are around my workout in the morning so I think it works well for me.

@BigVelvetG I think if you compare your blood work to most guys who are using steroids, your blood work would be much milder, with just some tweaks in there. You definitely don't want to keep estrogen elevated for too long. There are other risks with high estrogen, especially things like flaring up cancer cells in the body, which we don't want.
