Golden_Circle

V.I.P.
EVO Logger
Hello! I’m Golden_Circle and I’ve recently come on board to work with Notorious Labs ( @bigdawg1 ) for my upcoming cycle.

I’m a 30yr old male, currently weighing in at 105.1kg, approx 15%BF at 6ft2. Goals for this upcoming cycle is gain 4-5kg lean tissue.

I’ve trained on and off for 13 years, and consistently for this past year and a half. I’ve run two test-only cycles (500mg and 750mg/ wk respectively, both for 16 weeks) in this past year and a half with great results and many lessons.

I won’t be including progress photos throughout due to the nature of my work and highly identifiable tattoos over my body. That being said, I will be doing comprehensive bloods at the 8 and 16 week mark.

Current PEDS: Test E @ 250mg/week (Monday/ Thursday schedule)
HGH @ 2IU daily (PM)
Injectable L-Carnitine @ 600mg (pre workout)
Metformin 1000mg
Propanalol 80mg (40mg am/pm)
Telmisartan 80mg

Cycle Plan: 600mg Test E (M/W/F schedule) - provided by Notorious Labs
600mg Mast E (M/W/F schedule) - provided by Notorious Labs
Aromasin 12.5mg twice weekly - provided by third party
HGH 3IU daily (PM) - provided by third party
Metformin 1000mg
Propanalol 80mg (40mg am/pm)
Telmisartan 80mg

Supplements: NOW Red Omega 1500mg
NOW NAC 2000mg
DMAA provided by Notorious Labs
Premium Supplements Warrior Preworkout

Sleep: Typically 9hrs

Training: 45mins fasted cardio (AM, stairclimber) daily
60 mins weightlifting (PM, push, see below for details) five times weekly (Push/Pull/Legs/Push/Pull)

Diet (quite routine, generally don’t deviate from below):

Meal 1: 60g Bulk Nutrients Protein Matrix, YoPro Vanilla Yoghurt 160g
Meal 2: 1 Avocado, 2 pieces of multigrain bread
Meal 3: 250g kangaroo mince, 50g taco seasoning, Franks Hot Sauce
Meal 4: 60g Bulk Nutrients Protein Matrix, 100g blueberries
Meal 5: 200g chicken breast, 1 cup of rice, Franks Hot Sauce

2186 Calories, 235P/ 150C/ 70F

I’m keen to log to improve accountability, receive advice and different perspectives, and tighten consistency. Very grateful for Notorious Labs giving me this opportunity.

Will continue to cruise with this current setup looking to lean out a little to prime myself for the upcoming cycle, and will jump on once the care package from Notorious Labs arrives.

@Golden_Circle great new LOG start, thanks for sharing with the EVO family, and welcome to our family. :D

Cycle
You might not need aromasin if you have 1:1 with test primo you might be fine.

Pics
can you please share pics of you with your face blurred so we can see your base.

Please share more day to day information with us.

Diet, Training, Cardio
Diet, please share foods and meals and when you eat them, macros would be good
Training, please share actual exercises reps sets and weights, as you go especially get stronger
cardio how much do you do? when etc
If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.

supplements
what digestive supps you use?
digestive enzymes?
multis?
probiotics?
psyllium husk?

pictures
please share pictures of you face blurred (every 1-2 weeks)
pics of your meals as you go
pics of your training as you go
pics of your supps
pics of your gear

eBooks
download our eBooks and learn more about cycling:
https://irongorillas.com

Podcast
are you listening to our podcast? if not, you should:
https://www.evolutionary.org/podcasts/

thank you and share more :)
 
we definitely need some pictures so we can see where you're at. Please get those up as soon as possible.
 
It's understandable about the tattoos.

You can easily though get them blocked so nobody can see them!
 
At least get us some pictures of your meals, then.

That would be great to see that.
 
Get some touchdown pictures up. We need to see the gear that you're using.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome all - just want to reiterate I won’t be uploading progress photos as mentioned in my initial post - sorry to disappoint and I realise this takes away an important point of reference for you all. I would be blurring/ blocking the entirety of my arms/ chest/ stomach/ upper legs if I tried to cover my tattoos to upload.

I will be taking photos of everything else I can - supps, gear, meals and training (where possible). Keep an eye out for these in the weeks to come, in particular the touchdown photos (likely this week all going well).

I’ll take note of the suggestion that aromasin may not be needed - I’ll keep it on hand and should high E2 symptoms crop up/ bloods indicate an AI is needed I’ll use it (and update my log accordingly)

You may notice as the log progresses that there is little deviation from the plan/ routine - I have autism and a (mostly) handy part of this is that I thrive on (and require) routine, structure and repetition. This translates well to bodybuilding and the gym has been transformative for me in terms of building identity, confidence and social skills that I lacked growing up due to my autism.

I’ll log each gym session in more detail come training days, I hope to be logging 5 x week.

As for my day to day, currently it typically looks like:

6am: Wakeup, pin 600mg L-Carnitine and have some preworkout, head to gym

6:15am: 45mins cardio (typically stairclimber)

7:30am: Meal 1 as below, head to work

10:30am: Meal 2 as below

1pm: Meal 3 as below

4:30pm: Meal 4 as below

6/6:30pm: Gym session - weight training on weekdays - 1hr

8pm: Meal 5 as below

9:30pm: pin HGH, have other PEDS and supplements as outlined below. Head to bed.

Current PEDs: Test E @ 250mg/week (Monday/ Thursday schedule)
HGH @ 2IU daily (PM)
Injectable L-Carnitine @ 600mg (pre workout)
Metformin 1000mg
Propanalol 80mg (40mg am/pm)
Telmisartan 80mg

Supplements: NOW Red Omega 1500mg
NOW NAC 2000mg
Premium Supplements Warrior Preworkout
Life Extension Twice-Per-Day Men’s Multivitamin
Melatonin 10mg

Onto todays log (2/2/25)

Weigh in: 104.8hrs

Meal 5: 200g chicken breast, 1 cup of rice, Franks Hot Sauce

2186 Calories, 235P/ 150C/ 70F.

I’ve done a daily breakdown of calories and macros - is it preferable for logging purposes to do it for each meal?

If anyone has recommendations for supplements that act as a cycle support I’d love to hear them. Similarly, if anyone can see ways to optimise the way I’m doing things regarding diet, sleep, PEDS or anything else that may be relevant I’m all ears.
 
Welcome 😎 🙏


Ive always been interested in trying that bp medication you listed at a low dose, just from everything ive read about it and preventing cardiac stress and high bp while on cycle, seems it would be a good safety protocol to put in place if you cycle.

@Golden_Circle good update, I see kangaroo mince here, and I was just talking about this to @Wheelhouse87 in his log.

Waiting to see on your pic updates. :D

If you're on n2guard, I think saw it in your log, you dont need BP meds. You would be overdoing it. @Noah Wixx
 
PEDS: As listed in prior posts

Supplements: As listed in prior posts

Weigh in: 103.6kg
Sleep: 9hrs
Water: 4L

Training: 45mins fasted cardio (AM, brisk walk)

60 mins weightlifting (PM, push, see below for details)

Push: 4 x 8 DB bench, 85kg total

4 x 8 DB incline bench, 70kg total

4 x 8 Machine Chest Flyes, 25kg pin

5 x 8 BB shoulder press, 50kg

5 x 8 DB lateral raise, 25kg total

5 x 8 Cable Pushdowns, 30kg pin

5 x 8 DB lateral raise, 25kg total (additional five sets to above)

5 x 8 BB skullcrushers, 40kg

Diet:

Meal 1: 60g Bulk Nutrients Protein Matrix, YoPro Vanilla Yoghurt 160g

Meal 2: 1 Avocado, 2 pieces of multigrain bread

Meal 3: 250g kangaroo mince, 50g taco seasoning, Franks Hot Sauce

Meal 4: 60g Bulk Nutrients Protein Matrix, 100g blueberries

Meal 5: 200g chicken breast, 1 cup of rice, Franks Hot Sauce

2186 Calories, 235P/ 150C/ 70F

I’ve included three photos of my preworkout stack, ancillaries and general supplements. The small pink top vial next to the L-Carnitine is HGH, and not pictured is my test E (I used the remainder of my last vial today drawing today and Thursdays pin).

You’ll also see I mixed up Telmisartan with Valsartan - my bad! Valsartan is another ARB medication that has very similar properties to Telmisartan. When I brought up Telmisartan with my cardiologist as a preventative tool while use AAS’s, he instead recommended we use Valsartan. I’m not sure of the clinical reasoning however it’s been very useful in meaningfully lowering blood pressure on previous cycles.

@Noah Wixx , were you referring to trying Telmisartan or Propranolol when you said the BP medication? I know N2Guard is good (albeit near impossible to get in Aus) but Telmisartan and Valsartan both have the added benefit of negating the slow enlargement of the right ventricular heart valve that AAS’s cause through a really snazzy remodelling process. This is unique to the medication and something that N2Guard isn’t able to do.

@Mobster , Golden Circle is actually a reference to a brand of juice (as in orange/ apple juice) here in Aus! I have no idea of the movie reference haha

Meal 5: 200g chicken breast, 1 cup of rice, Franks Hot Sauce

2186 Calories, 235P/ 150C/ 70F

Overall a pretty standard day, starting to take it slightly easier in training (ie dropping weight) to provide an opportunity to slightly deload and recover prior to starting the coming cycle next week.

Trying to figure out how much of a calorie surplus to run in the coming cycle, deciding between +300cals or +500cals. If anyone has any guidance as to what may be ideal that would be very welcome.

I’m also considering increasing the HGH dose for the cycle to 4IU, does anyone have any insight as to whether this would provide a significant benefit over 3IU?

Great update again. :D

I noticed you are eating kangaroo meat, you got pics of it? I wanted to just see what yours looks like. There was discussion back and forth with @Wheelhouse87 about it so I got interested.

It's quite a rich dark meat bro.. I normally find it darker than beef. I think from memory it had slightly higher protein than lean beef but youneither like it or you don't 😂

Increased calories today and took the day off gym. Weight and strength is stable and so I’m planning to taper down and deload this week while getting some additional calories in (eating at maintenance). Sitting at a good BF% to kick off. Hoping the extra calories and rest act as a primer to recover heading into the cycle next week (provided the care package lands in time).

I’ve sought clarification from an EVO mod and confirmed it’s not a requirement to upload progress pics. As I’ve said, it’s not something I am able to do - but rest assured photos of gear, training and meals are to come.

I am taking progress photos as this log goes on (as I have been for a while) and may consider uploading photos at the 8 week and 16 week mark (with a retrospective start photo) along with the bloods - but that being said, this is TBC and I’ll have to find a way to ensure the photos are anonymous as possible - any recommendations for hiding heavy tattooing would be greatly appreciated.

Hope you’re all well and appreciate you following along!

@LevButlerov - apologies, in discussion with my sponsor I was of the opinion that progress photos were an optional part of the logging journey. I won’t have a chance today, but I’ll get some progress photos up tomorrow.

Higher volume workout today, perhaps slightly counterproductive to rest + recovery but I needed to get out some excess energy to help manage my anxiety and stress. No weight/ rep increases since Monday’s push day.

Really looking forward to kicking off this cycle, slightly increasing calories (see: more flavour and texture) and watching my body grow.

Got my pre-cycle bloods done this morning, not sure if I’ll have access to the results to post (they were done through my general doctor) but will keep you all in the loop if there are any stand out issues. This test covered liver function, kidney function, electrolytes, cholesterol, FBC, thyroid function, fasting blood glucose and Hb1ac (note: Testosterone, Estrogen and IGF-1 weren’t included but will be in future tests). Next bloods will be done at the start of week 8 of the cycle.

As a side note, I’m planning to introduce MT2 into my PED regime to get a base tan and some more definition. Does anyone have any experience with MT2?

MT2 melanotan 2 works, but depends on what you want to use it for. Low dose its fine but if you overdo it, you become a strange color. @Golden_Circle

@Golden_Circle myself and my wife are on MT2 currently and it works great..
If using it for the tan just take it slow and you won't get that bad orange fake hue 👍👍
 
Also @Golden_Circle my other main tip would be use it just before bed. It does give us the slightest bit of nausea and better not to deal with it 😂 from memory we did 1iu every 3 or 4 days for 3 weeks then just 1iu every week there after for maintenance
 
Alas, the long awaited initial progress photos! I’ve blurred where I’ve needed to and hope it doesn’t impede too much on your ability to gauge my physique. Rest day today, however did 3hrs of cardio on the stairclimber for a bit of a challenge and to clear the head.

@Golden_Circle great pic share bro ;) thank you, you look great really strong shoulder and arms base and back is wide, we just gotta work on dropping bodyfat here
you want to cut bodyfat or recomp bro? I think we should cut here looking at your situation
 
@Npcclassicphysique champ thanks for the feedback and critique man! Ideally I’d like to recomp - so with that in mind do you have any recommendations for training frequency + calorie goals? Generally for a recomp I’d train 4 days a week, increase cardio and eat at maintenance calories with 1g/lb for protein - does that sound like a good plan?

i think in your case cutting is the best idea bro and then bulking
recomping might be hard but possible
@Golden_Circle
to make things easy start by cutting junk food and carbs down to 100 grams and up proteins and fats
 
@Npcclassicphysique champ gotcha - would you change the PED regime I have at all? As a refresher it’s:

600mg test E weekly
600mg mast E weekly
4IU HGH

If I’m going to cut, I’ll also continue with injectable L-Carnitine and potentially introduce semaglutide. Are there any other worthwhile PEDs to introduce?

I understand it’s mainly down to diet and training but just want to have any extra edge if possible.

I really appreciate you taking the time to provide guidance and advice. Definitely a different direction to where I started but appreciate it’s probably the better decision.

Would be curious to see how you do on the growth hormone.

I think you got the potential to really see some good results.
 
The tattoos are definitely plentiful on your front. What made you get them? Is there anything symbolic?
 
Thanks for taking the time to post up your pictures.

I think you got good potential on this log, you have a lot of room to improve.
 
The key to your success here is going to be consistency. I definitely want to see you be hitting the gym on a consistent basis.
 
Make sure you get good workouts for five times a week.

That's gonna be crucial for you.
 
I'm really looking forward to see what you're capable of doing on this.
You've got a good physique to work with.
 
you look great man!

nice job on the diet, not bad at all. just gotta build up some more muscle mass.
 
Thanks everyone for the advice and encouragement! @zedhed you mentioned building more muscle mass - that was originally my goal however a few other members have suggested a cut may be the better option. Which option would you be opting for based on my build? Also keen for others input too - I’m keen to finalise my decision on where I’ll end up focussing my efforts for the coming 20 weeks.

you should go in the middle bro start recomping and leaning out as you gain light mass its possible
 
So, first things first - the care package from Notorious Labs ( @bigdawg1 ) arrived today! I’m totally blown away by the attention to detail in every aspect of the product design. As you’ll see in the pictures, both the boxes and vials are stunning; but even better, the oil is totally smooth - easy to draw and painless to pin. As for the DMAA, I used it for today’s workout and it was killer - focussed, high energy and noticeably less fatigued during the workout.

Next thing - I’ve decided to take a different approach to this coming cycle weeks after considering the feedback from you all. With this, I’ll initially do an 12 week cut at a 750cal deficit. Following this, I’ll reverse diet out for 4 weeks before sitting at maintenance calories for the final four weeks. I’m hoping to lose ~10kg while maintaining my current muscle mass. While recomping is appealing, I would prefer to focus on either massing or cutting at one time.

With these changes, my cycle plan has also changed - see below:

@Golden_Circle interesting new cycle. :D I like you are thinking here.

Diet
You need to increase fats to over 110 grams if you have carbs this low and drop protein to around 200.

Cycle
Your masteron is VERY high, dont go over 100mgs of masteron to start off. There is no need with your low testosterone dose.
If you're using semaglutide, you don't need clenbuterol, it wont help you just jack up your CNS for nothing. The semaglutide will help you lean out for sure.

Training
I'd lke to see more cardio and more volume 15+reps.

Keep the log updated, EVO family is here to support you.
 
That is a heck of a cycle that you put together.
Growth hormone is going to be very fun to follow.
 
I'm seeing more and more people using MT2 right now. seems to be a trend .
 
let us know how you like the injectable L carnitine.
its one a lot of guys are using.
 
I like how you're doing the one, our weight training session. Sounds like a very good plan.
 
Incline, bench and shoulder r really on point.

Keep up the good work.

For an Oz lab that IS a better looking product. Some have great products which look poor
 
Another care package arrived today courtesy of @Sydneycitysupplements with some MT2 - looks like the goods as you can see from the photo! Hopefully the results should show in the progress photos in the coming weeks.

@LevButlerov thanks for the feedback. I’ll drop the masteron down to 200mg (a touch higher than you recommended) however I will be keeping the clen in play.

I’ll increase cardio in a phased approach, increasing the amount I do daily every four weeks. Regarding rep range, I was under the impression a lower range was the way to go to maintain strength while cutting. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, this was just the advice from my exercise physiologist.

@e2 will keep provide updates about the l-carnitine, albeit it may be a little difficult to parse its exact effects amidst the other PEDS also in play

@BodyMonster34 I’ve been eating kangaroo mince which is a dark red meat consistently for almost three months straight, just need a short break. The change to chicken breast has only happened this week and I’ll likely switch back in a month or so.

Alas, the long awaited initial progress photos! I’ve blurred where I’ve needed to and hope it doesn’t impede too much on your ability to gauge my physique. Rest day today, however did 3hrs of cardio on the stairclimber for a bit of a challenge and to clear the head.

Not a lot to report today - but hope you all (and in turn me) benefit from the photos. I’ll be aiming to post weekly progress photos as the log goes on. All going well I should be beginning the cycle on Monday.
@Golden_Circle Good update bro....nice pics........
 
Another care package arrived today courtesy of @Sydneycitysupplements with some MT2 - looks like the goods as you can see from the photo! Hopefully the results should show in the progress photos in the coming weeks.

@LevButlerov thanks for the feedback. I’ll drop the masteron down to 200mg (a touch higher than you recommended) however I will be keeping the clen in play.

I’ll increase cardio in a phased approach, increasing the amount I do daily every four weeks. Regarding rep range, I was under the impression a lower range was the way to go to maintain strength while cutting. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, this was just the advice from my exercise physiologist.

@e2 will keep provide updates about the l-carnitine, albeit it may be a little difficult to parse its exact effects amidst the other PEDS also in play

@BodyMonster34 I’ve been eating kangaroo mince which is a dark red meat consistently for almost three months straight, just need a short break. The change to chicken breast has only happened this week and I’ll likely switch back in a month or so.

PEDS: As listed in prior posts - albeit masteron will be dropped to 200mg/wk.

@Golden_Circle good update bro

diet
meal 1 swap the toast for oatmeal
what was meal 2?
meal 5 just rice? no protein?

training is good but thats mostly 5x5 on the deads try 5x10
and you do need higher reps to lose bodyfat and tighten the muscles
cardio?
 
hey mate, sorry new to your log, have you thought about instead of dieting increasing your cals to maintenance / slightly above and putting the gear to good use, your a tall fella and you have good base, your maintenance calories would be high, and with a low dose sema would knock out any food noise to eat shit food on weekends binge etc, like 2800/3200 cals maybe? doing that consistently for a few months i think would make a massive change to your physique, I only say this as I used to diet all the time, as was scared of how the body would look, when i changed the mindset body changed fast,

Keep it up either way will follow along!
 
Short update today:

@Npcclassicphysique champ - when I increase carbs, I’ll look at swapping the toast for oatmeal. You’ll notice in todays/ yesterday log less carbs. My formatting yesterday was off, there was no meal two to include - I just misnumbered the meals.

And yeap, just rice. I’m having rice about an hour preworkout for fuel and try to keep the meal small so as not to feel bloated for the workout.

Will change the rep range for deadlifts as recommended 👍

Or just eat more toast
 
, that's great. That's you're getting some care packages from your source.
 
Nice touchdown pictures.

Let us know how it works out for you.
 
Hopefully, you get a good tan and you can keep your side effects to a minimum.

I would take it. Before bed.
 
45 minutes of fasted cardio. That's good, consistency, and excellent.
 
Those blueberries, go a long way along with the Apple.

Very good for detox and antioxidants.
 
I like that. Chicken and rice. Very good staple foods for bodybuilders.
 
Good job, getting 9 hours of sleep and getting in 4 L of water.

That goes a long way.
 
Introduced clen today, a bit shaky and higher resting heart rate however good stimulant effect. Will be dropping my caffeine intake way back to avoid overloading the CNS and will only be using DMAA for intense sessions (as opposed to all).

Semaglutide appears to have also kicked in quite quickly, very low hunger levels/ food noise and quick to be satiated. Had to remind myself to eat and broke some meals down into two sittings.

@Npcclassicphysique champ - yeap 45 minute walk each morning, doing laps of a local park and getting some early sunshine. Outdoor walks, as opposed to treadmill, is for a) getting sunlight for positive effects on setting circadian rhythm and b) getting sunlight for tanning effect (I have my MT2 immediately prior to heading out).

PEDS: As listed in prior posts.

Supplements: As listed in prior posts, however now including an electrolyte blend and taurine to assist with clen sides.

That’s me for today!
I noticed you didnt comment on any responses you got above, did you see guys answering? @Golden_Circle

Walking in AM is good, and what core work you doing? planks?

Food, I think you need to up your fats a bit.
 
So, first things first - the care package from Notorious Labs ( @bigdawg1 ) arrived today! I’m totally blown away by the attention to detail in every aspect of the product design. As you’ll see in the pictures, both the boxes and vials are stunning; but even better, the oil is totally smooth - easy to draw and painless to pin. As for the DMAA, I used it for today’s workout and it was killer - focussed, high energy and noticeably less fatigued during the workout.

Next thing - I’ve decided to take a different approach to this coming cycle weeks after considering the feedback from you all. With this, I’ll initially do an 12 week cut at a 750cal deficit. Following this, I’ll reverse diet out for 4 weeks before sitting at maintenance calories for the final four weeks. I’m hoping to lose ~10kg while maintaining my current muscle mass. While recomping is appealing, I would prefer to focus on either massing or cutting at one time.

With these changes, my cycle plan has also changed - see below:

PEDS:

Week 1 - 20
250mg/wk Test E - provided by Notorious Labs
600mg/wk Mast E - provided by Notorious Labs
5IU/daily HGH - provided by third party
1mg/wk semaglutide - provided by third party
Uptitrated clenbuterol 2 weeks on/ 2 weeks off - provided by third party
250mcg/daily MT2 - provided by Sydney City Supplements ( @Sydneycitysupplements )
600mg/daily injectable L-Carnitine - provided by third party

Weeks 16 - 20

50mg/day Winstrol - provided by Notorious Labs

Supplements: As listed in prior posts, however now including DMAA in my preworkout stack as provided by Notorious Labs, as well as taurine and potassium to manage clen sides.

I’ll be upping my carbs to around 80g//day and dropping the fats down to around 60g/day.

That’s me for today! Keen to hear your thoughts on the revised plan and looking forward to leaning out.
@Golden_Circle solid log right here! Keep it coming bro!
 
Getting in today’s log a little early - I’ve yet to do my workout or have meals 3 - 5 - but I’ll be out the rest of the day and wanted to get the post up.

@LevButlerov - I did see the above responses - and sorry to everyone for not getting responding individually! I am very grateful for all the encouragement and support. I’ll try respond to everyone below but won’t always have the time/ capacity to do so individually.

As for core work, yeap planks, side planks, dead bugs and leg raises.

@Shrine , based on my knowledge of MT2 the ideal timing of dosage is immediately prior to sun exposure. While it’s got a long half-life, I believe the duration of effect is actually quite short (1-2hrs). Happy to be corrected but thus far am getting good results with no sides with this protocol.

@zedhed and @caligirl85 thanks for the encouragement and I’ll be sure to provide updates on how the care packages are going. Both Notorious Labs ( @bigdawg1 ) and @Sydneycitysupplements have been very generous - and along with the generosity are very high quality products.

A few people have commented on positives from my diet - I appreciate the feedback and it’s good to know I’m going in the right direction.

@Austin316 - yeap, sleep and water are foundational. Not only for physical health, recovery and growth but also mental health. These two aspects are core to my well-being regardless of where I’m at with training and diet.

@Quadsweep - I try to keep it as simple as possible and only introduce more complexity as the need arises. Appreciate the feedback.

@25homes - high HGH for multiple reasons - fat burning, recovery and sleep quality. The advice I’ve received is to run it as high as you can afford as the benefits continue up until around 10IU - and for me thats 5IU. I will be dropping the dose back down to 2IU or 3IU after this cycle, but so far it’s made a huge difference to my sleep quality which is worth it for me.
