Chapter 2 - 16 week Recomp Log with @ODINLABS

  • Age: 35
  • Height: 177cm
  • Weight: 88kg
  • Body Fat % unknown
Aim of this log is to Recomp to 10% lower bf% with the bigger focus on achieving this through muscle development. I will utilise nutrition and fasted cardio to help with fat loss and allow this to happen steadily during the cycle and throughout the entire year. This cycle isn’t for a hard cut as I will run a proper cutting cycle before next summer.

Training:

  • Push 1 - chest/triceps/shoulder
  • Pull 1 - back/biceps/rear delts & traps
  • Lower 1 - legs
  • Rest
  • Push 2
  • Pull 2
  • Lower 2
  • Rest
  • This will be my split for the first 8 weeks. Every workout will start with 10 minutes of cardio and muscle groups will have warm up sets throughout the work out. Workouts will be completed in the evenings and each day 3 days of the split will swap focus on areas of the particular muscle group.
  • Everyday will start with 30mins of fasted cardio and the rest days it will increase to 1hr fasted. Total of 4.5hrs of fasted cardio each week.
  • Exercises are ones I feel the most mind muscle connection with and I have made the best growth with so far. I will keep the same exercises for 8 week block to monitor the weight progress from the start to the 8 week mark. If growth is still moving and a particular exercise hasn’t stalled or caused pain or discomfort, I will continue to include them.
Diet:

  • Daily calories will start around the 2400 mark.
  • Protein will stay at 250g daily as a target.
  • Carbs, low carb day will stay under 100g. Medium days will have a slight increase such as leg day and high daysbut will be on refeed days to restore glycogen levels
  • Fats will be aimed at 100g and will alter to accommodate the change in carbs on particular days
  • Protein sources will consist of chicken breast, ribeye steak, 90/10 ground beef, eggs, tuna and wpi shakes to fill in the gaps.
  • Carbs will be sweet potatoes, rice, some fruits, rolled oats
  • Fats will come from avocados, yoghurt, walnuts, almonds, eggs, salmon and ghee for cooking.
  • Vegetables will be broccoli, asparagus, green beans, carrots, spinach.
  • Meal plans will be week long blocks to make meal prepping easier.
  • Meals aren’t going to be fancy what so ever lol food for the 16 weeks is basically just for fuel and recovery
Supplements:

  • Greens powder
  • Magnesium
  • Tudca
  • Fish oil
  • Pre workout when needed
  • Electrolytes
  • Eaa’s
  • Acetyl-L-carnitine
  • Liver gaurd
  • Multi v
  • Psyllium husk
  • Digestive enzymes
  • Probiotics
Welcome any more opinions and advice on supplementation, hoping for some discussion here.

Blood Work:

  • Recent Blood Work: Had a complete blood panel done from doctor at the end of November and everything was in perfect range. These reports are visible on my previous log.
  • Will be doing more bloods on Monday morning the 13th these will include
  • Free and total test
  • Prolactin
  • Shgb
  • E2 oestradial.
Will be doing bloods monthly but test will change as once I introduce npp tests will include e2 LCMS testing

Cycle Plan:

  • Cycle Goals: recomp
  • Compounds Planned for Use: Test E, Mast E, NPP and anavar.
  • Dosage and Frequency:
  • Weeks 1-16 Test e - 250mg, Mast e - 400mg, these will be split into 2 injections weekly. At week 6, NPP will be introduced at 100mg eod for 10 weeks, these dosages will average 350mg weekly based over a fortnight structure. At week 8 anavar will at 50mg daily - 25mg morning and 25mg pre evening workout.
  • Cycle Length: 16 weeks
  • Post Cycle Therapy: I will be returning to a trt dose of 100mg-150mg. Dosage will depend on bloodwork and what ever allows me to retain a higher natural range and doesn’t negatively impact other health markers. The details of this decision was outlined in depth on my previous log.
Very excited to be working alongside @ODINLABS for this part of my journey. Keen to show what his lab has to offer and what I can achieve as an individual in the next 16 weeks. Tomorrow morning I will upload progress start photos. Every month I’ll take the same photos, under the same light in the same place of my house for the best possible comparison. I’m well rested, heavily driven and focused enough that I feel I could send an arrow through the eye of the needle. Come Monday morning, game on.

Thanks brother! Appreciate all the help you gave on my last log and welcome any you are willing to offer with this one. You and a few others had the biggest influence on getting me where I’m at currently. I’m very confident in what I can achieve this year with the same support and guidance! If you were to throw a rough number at the bf% what would it be? 25ish% maybe?

First meal of the day at 11am. As I mentioned the food isn’t going to be pretty lol but it will be clean and effective.

40g raw weight rice
4 eggs
10g ghee
1 scoop protein water.

fish oil cap
Digestive enzyme
Probiotic
Multi v
6g psyllium husk

Cals 610
Protein 51
Carbs 34
Fats 28
 
you are holding extra fat around the stomach which is typical for men. i would peg your body fat around 22% .. i do not think its as high as 25% IMO
Thanks @stevesmi, if I can Recomp by 10% and get toward the 12% bf at the end of the 16 weeks I feel this result would be a huge success.

Family lunch for my nieces birthday today but took my own as we hard on the grind now.

Carbs are a touch higher as I have included the carbs from vegetables into the deliberate carbs count for the day. Is this something I should consider?

As per a few podcasts with Stevesmi you may need to adjust these timings

I’ll have to run through them again then. I based this on utilising NPP for a 10 week period in total. Thus starting it at week 6 for the last ten. Are you saying it would be a better option to run it at the start and cut it out at week 10 and run the anavar to finish?

Set 2: 8x37.5kg 1rir
Set3: 8x37.5# failure >+1 rep

First set felt nice and comfortable considering a 2 week break. So bounced the weight up to 40’s got 4 reps and realised it wasn’t going to work. Still managed an extra rep on last set from previous session. Got too hungry lol should have just opt to push more reps on the last set instead. 40’s aren’t far away though.

Happy with my first workout for the year. Was able to come home, reset and change focus from holiday mode straight back into work.

Went in today hoping to hold the line on my exercises and was even able to increase with some.

Feels good to be back.

Same meals as yesterday really, might just post meals on the first day of the week because as mentioned meals will only be changing in weekly blocks just for ease of meal prepping. If something swaps around during the week I’ll throw it up though!
 
Good job on the meal prepping. That's going to be the key on this one.
 
My man, the food looks incredible so far.
You keep eating like that, you will definitely cut body fat in no time.
 
Make sure you're hitting the fasted cardio on a consistent basis as you are planning. get up, go to the bathroom drink some water and go do it!

  • Will be doing more bloods on Monday morning the 13th these will include
  • Free and total test

Very excited to be working alongside @ODINLABS for this part of my journey. Keen to show what his lab has to offer and what I can achieve as an individual in the next 16 weeks. Tomorrow morning I will upload progress start photos. Every month I’ll take the same photos, under the same light in the same place of my house for the best possible comparison. I’m well rested, heavily driven and focused enough that I feel I could send an arrow through the eye of the needle. Come Monday morning, game on.
Awesome

No early training today as off to get bloods done first up in a moment.

Injection days will be Monday and Thursdays untill the NPP in introduced then obviously additional days will be added.

Day 1 of cycle with @ODINLABS
Bloods done this morning and should have results in a day or two.

Pull day 1

Rack pull


Set 1: 5x60kg
Set 2: 5x100kg
Set 3: 5x140kg
Set 4: 5x160kg
Set 5: 5x140kg
Set 6: 5x100kg
Set 7: 5x60kg

Pyramid this exercise today, sat tight at 160kg as just before Christmas I went for the 180 but felt a pinch. Might set eyes on 170 first next week and take it from there. Don’t need any setbacks if I can avoid.

ISO lateral high row

Combined weight for both sides displayed.

Set 1: 10x100kg> +10kg
Set 2: 10x100kg
Set 3: 8x100kg##

Bumped the weight up on these as I was moving 90kg pretty comfortably leading into Christmas.


ISO lateral row

Acclimation set

5x50kg just to get a feel for the movement

Working sets
Set 1: 10x130kg> +10kg
Set 2: 10x130kg
Set 3: 9x130kg##

Only went up to 130 because the first two plates off the rack were 25kgs and popped the 2 20’s either side after the acclimation set. Was a good weight in the end, was able to move it with good form but definitely felt the weight.

Bent over db flys

Set 1: 12x12.5kg
Set 2: 12x12.5kg
Set 3: 10x12.5kg#
Set 4: 10x12.5kg#

Last 2 reps here were basically just swinging the weight, just wanted to squeeze a little more out.

Dumbbell Shrugs

Set 1: 12x50kg’s
Set 2: 12x50kg’s
Set 3: 12x50kg’s

Dumbbell curls

Set 1: 12x12.5kg
Set 2: [email protected]
Set 3(dropset): [email protected]#/ 10@5kg

Last set to failure then halve the weight and push for the same amount of reps.

Ezy bar preacher curl

Set 1: 8x35kg
Set 2: 6x35kg#
Set 3: 5x35kg#

Bicep’s fatigued the quickest tonight, most likely from moving up weights in the other exercises. Though I’ve stayed on the same weights with my curls for over a month but have significantly slowed the tempo and eliminated any swing.


30 mins max incline treadmill to round out. Wasn’t fasted today but had bloods done this morning and wasn’t meant to exercise prior.

As mentioned I won’t flood the log with pictures of the same meals each day I’ll post new meals pics at the start of every week. I will keeps macros posted though as there are slights changed on different days.

Great log this far mate very detailed. Will you throw up your baseline bloods too show where you're starting from?
Just got them back this morning brother, so will do!

40mins fasted cardio to start the day. Was only intending 30mins but the podcast wasn’t finished yet so kept going lol.
View attachment 69821
cardio is big time pumping up bro i see you really leveling up HOT
 
Test results came in this morning too. Results are based of my trt dose of 200mg test e I’ve been on since November. Returning to trt after my cycle I will be dropping the dose to 125mg weekly to see what the bloodwork reflects. E2 is a little higher but nothing excessive, though I welcome a more educated review of this opinion.
Will take more bloods again in 4 weeks to reflect on the cycle dosage currently.

Chapter 2 - 16 week Recomp Log with @ODINLABS

  • Age: 35
  • Height: 177cm
  • Weight: 88kg
  • Body Fat % unknown
Aim of this log is to Recomp to 10% lower bf% with the bigger focus on achieving this through muscle development. I will utilise nutrition and fasted cardio to help with fat loss and allow this to happen steadily during the cycle and throughout the entire year. This cycle isn’t for a hard cut as I will run a proper cutting cycle before next summer.

Training:

  • Push 1 - chest/triceps/shoulder
  • Pull 1 - back/biceps/rear delts & traps
  • Lower 1 - legs
  • Rest
  • Push 2
  • Pull 2
  • Lower 2
  • Rest
  • This will be my split for the first 8 weeks. Every workout will start with 10 minutes of cardio and muscle groups will have warm up sets throughout the work out. Workouts will be completed in the evenings and each day 3 days of the split will swap focus on areas of the particular muscle group.
  • Everyday will start with 30mins of fasted cardio and the rest days it will increase to 1hr fasted. Total of 4.5hrs of fasted cardio each week.
  • Exercises are ones I feel the most mind muscle connection with and I have made the best growth with so far. I will keep the same exercises for 8 week block to monitor the weight progress from the start to the 8 week mark. If growth is still moving and a particular exercise hasn’t stalled or caused pain or discomfort, I will continue to include them.
Diet:

  • Daily calories will start around the 2400 mark.
  • Protein will stay at 250g daily as a target.
  • Carbs, low carb day will stay under 100g. Medium days will have a slight increase such as leg day and high daysbut will be on refeed days to restore glycogen levels
  • Fats will be aimed at 100g and will alter to accommodate the change in carbs on particular days
  • Protein sources will consist of chicken breast, ribeye steak, 90/10 ground beef, eggs, tuna and wpi shakes to fill in the gaps.
  • Carbs will be sweet potatoes, rice, some fruits, rolled oats
  • Fats will come from avocados, yoghurt, walnuts, almonds, eggs, salmon and ghee for cooking.
  • Vegetables will be broccoli, asparagus, green beans, carrots, spinach.
  • Meal plans will be week long blocks to make meal prepping easier.
  • Meals aren’t going to be fancy what so ever lol food for the 16 weeks is basically just for fuel and recovery
Supplements:

  • Greens powder
  • Magnesium
  • Tudca
  • Fish oil
  • Pre workout when needed
  • Electrolytes
  • Eaa’s
  • Acetyl-L-carnitine
  • Liver gaurd
  • Multi v
  • Psyllium husk
  • Digestive enzymes
  • Probiotics
Welcome any more opinions and advice on supplementation, hoping for some discussion here.

Blood Work:

  • Recent Blood Work: Had a complete blood panel done from doctor at the end of November and everything was in perfect range. These reports are visible on my previous log.
  • Will be doing more bloods on Monday morning the 13th these will include
  • Free and total test
  • Prolactin
  • Shgb
  • E2 oestradial.
Will be doing bloods monthly but test will change as once I introduce npp tests will include e2 LCMS testing

Cycle Plan:

  • Cycle Goals: recomp
  • Compounds Planned for Use: Test E, Mast E, NPP and anavar.
  • Dosage and Frequency:
  • Weeks 1-16 Test e - 250mg, Mast e - 400mg, these will be split into 2 injections weekly. At week 6, NPP will be introduced at 100mg eod for 10 weeks, these dosages will average 350mg weekly based over a fortnight structure. At week 8 anavar will at 50mg daily - 25mg morning and 25mg pre evening workout.
  • Cycle Length: 16 weeks
  • Post Cycle Therapy: I will be returning to a trt dose of 100mg-150mg. Dosage will depend on bloodwork and what ever allows me to retain a higher natural range and doesn’t negatively impact other health markers. The details of this decision was outlined in depth on my previous log.
Very excited to be working alongside @ODINLABS for this part of my journey. Keen to show what his lab has to offer and what I can achieve as an individual in the next 16 weeks. Tomorrow morning I will upload progress start photos. Every month I’ll take the same photos, under the same light in the same place of my house for the best possible comparison. I’m well rested, heavily driven and focused enough that I feel I could send an arrow through the eye of the needle. Come Monday morning, game on.
@Allupfromhere awesome log right here!

Got a touch excited in there today, sprawled on the couch feeling sorry for myself now though 🤣 rest day tomorrow which I’m welcoming with open arms hahaha
 
Morning fasted cardio done and dusted. This was pretty hard after last nights leg session.
Slight change in plans with cardio moving forward though. Will be opting for 40mins fasted daily instead of 30mins workout days and 1hr on rest days.

Good work
 
Today was a good recovery day, fasted cardio still completed this morning as as it’s non negotiable and will be completed every day for the entire cycle. Got some work done around the house and relaxed mostly, first three days back into it I have hit hard and happy with that.

Tomorrow start the second part of my ppl split, exercises will shift focus to different angles of the same muscles.
Nutrition was good, bumped the protein and and maintained the higher fats, carbs stayed low today.

Food lacked a touch today due to working with my friend, wasn’t much though still got some reasonable numbers in.

Excellent job saying consistent with your cardio. Especially doing the fasted cardio that doubly effective.
For sure consistency going to be the key!
Good job on getting in the good fats.

Avocados, one of the best for sure.
Thanks brother
Make sure you cycle your foods. Don't eat the same thing day in and day out.
Yeah I will be cycling foods in week blocks just to make it easier on meal prep
Good to see your wife has food, ready for you.

That's really cool. I wish my wife would cook.
Yeah I’m a very lucky man haha

Bumped up the carbs a touch and adjusted the fats to stay in daily calorie range, just to see how I felt in the gym and I definitely felt better. The morning fasted cardio and weights in the afternoon plus daily work I’m not sure my overall intake is going to be enough. I’ll hold the line for a complete fortnight and see where my weight is and how my energy levels are. If I need to adjust I will then. Sleep isn’t the best, not the worst but something is going to work on. Need to get off evo well before bed time haha.

Morning fasted cardio done. Was able to almost increase distance by nearly 10% in the 40minutes, had to sprint to get there though haha. Solid leg session to come in the early arvo. Wifey wanted to take a cheeky snap shot from my back, beginning to get a little shape now..
