Approved Log From endurance athlete to fitness - My first ever PED cycle log

[haldencapital]

I'm impressed by your biceps but most impressed with your back.

You've got excellent striations down your back.

@sambee38 thanks boss! Yes, I like training back I'll try to hit a christmas tree pose under good lighting to see the details better

Wow. Very good job on the meals.
Perfect paprika with chicken. There's nothing better.

Perfect bodybuilder, food, chicken and rice simple yet effective. And I see those broccoli as well. Nice.

@BookerTNY @Zyglamail Simple meals but I don't get tired of it. Which is key to a successful diet plan.

Yes, the breadcrumbs are a great idea with the chicken.

Also cooking in an air, fryer will make it very crispy if you keep the skin.

@Shrine i have yet to try an air fryer. Could be a great addition to the kitchen!

Nice training split. I like how you're mixing in the legs and abs. And then you're doing chest and shoulders on the same split.

@caligirl85 I try to mix things up a bit every 4 months but this split is my favorite. Training chest with shoulders always gives a massive pump and warm-up the shoulder joints nicely. It's a lot of volume for the shoulders as the delts are engaged while chest pressing so when I want to prioritize the shoulders i switch from chest and shoulders to chest and arms. Then, i train the shoulders with the back so there is no overlap.

That's an ambitious training split, but with your consistency, it works out really well.

It's obviously paying off. Look at your physique.

@zedhed thank you! I'm always up for ambition! I like to say that I don't know what i'm doing, but love to do what i'm doing. Somehow, results come along the way

 

[Arabian]

Rice and beans are an excellent protein and carb option.

Just make sure you're taking some enzymes to help you digest.

 

[LevButlerov]

Low quality sleep last night. Not optimal but was able to get wired with a little caffeine. I flushed a lot of salt and look less puffy than yesterday which is good. 169.1 lbs on the scale this morning.

This back workout was violent. Massive amount of blood being pumped.

I'm not the strongest, i'm not the biggest but oh lord, I freaking love it! I had an amazing workout today.

6 years of natural lifting prior to now is a blessing. I get to understand how my body reacts and it sure does respond very well so far with very little dosing of cypionate and a bit of anavar.

The usual kitchen posing ->

If you have bad sleep time for naps, 2-3 15min naps please. @haldencapital

 

[haldencapital]

If you have bad sleep time for naps, 2-3 15min naps please. @haldencapital

@LevButlerov oh yah! most definitely! Took 3mg of melatonin last night before going to bed and was able to sleep with no interruption all night. Bad nights of sleep are rare occurrence but sometimes all it takes is a little too much cafein to mess up the sleep schedule.

Add valerian root to the melatonin for maxium rest. @haldencapital

 

[Noah Wixx]

Vascularity everywhere

 

[RoySimpson]

It's been only one week and a half and little by little i can see and feel some changes.

While my hormones are figuring things out, water retention is on the rise. I look fuller even when I don't lift. Things I never really experienced while natty. Especially my arms. It's like I always have a small pump. Sodium intake was high yesterday so it sure have an impact.

I begin to see deeper and more defined seperations between my shoulders/delts and my upper chest. Shoulders are like a baseball. Round and full. A more puffy look for sure.

Gained about 1 pound over the last 7-8 days by eating maintenance. Which is incredible, the stuff works lol. I can tell everything is getting tight. I don't really feel like i gain any fat.

Again, with the anavar : i'm not so sure if it works yet... It the 6th day i take the full 50mg dose. I know it's a mild oral but, as far as i can remember, i felt it more the one and only time i took it a few years ago.

Tomorrow, back and arms on the menu.

@haldencapital looking super jacked bro!

 

[haldencapital]

Yesterday was supposed to be leg day. I ended up enjoying the 120 cm of fresh snow we have received in the mountains over the last 10 days and went on a 4 hour hike in deep snow. Got pretty drained and dehydrated from it. I can tell i've lost a lot of water and glycogen. I make sure to drink and eat enough since I came back while adding electrolytes to the mix.

Last week, I did blood work while being at the medical clinic.

I always tend to believe that I am a prone responder to substances and the blood work seems to be confirming this assumption. I'm only at 175 mg - 200 mg of test a week and don't use any other coumpound besides 40 mg of anavar on traning days.

Again, this "sports TRT" dose might seem low for y'all but i'm going slow to see how my body responds. I reiterate my goal of finding the sweet spot between having maximum results for the least side affects possible, while keeping good athletic abilities. I've gained almost 2 pounds of lean mass over the course of the last 14-16 days with this dose and with the elimination of any alcohol consumption.

Here are the levels after only 3 cypionate injections (i inject twice a week, so not even 2 weeks of inections). The reading from 2025 is the first non natty reading. Despite not using a ton of gear, I already see in 2 weeks, great changes to my muscles.

So, test went up significantly while SHBG went down. That is the obvious. My HDL is going a bit too low. Again, probably expected with the increase in testosterone and the application of anavar. For a normal male, that would be on the lower side of the range. LDL seems under control and the calculated total cholesterol is getting high.

So far, i don't think there is anything to worry about given the introduction of the PEDs. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. I'm will do another bloodwork in 8 weeks almost at the end of the cycle for a fully saturated point of reference.

@haldencapital leg day with so much snow is a no go. But hiking must have been fun, no pics from the hike for the EVO family?

You actually respond well to gear, I can tell you have good genetics, probably can step on stage even.

@LevButlerov I was fried after that hike. I wouldn't have been able to squat the barbell with no weight on it

It was the best winter hike of the year so far. At some point we had to clear the trails and we had snow up to the hips

Here is a sneak peek for the fam

Almost got back to being full of glycogen again following the long hike from this weekend.

The nastiest back pump today during the workout. Never experienced such fullness. I begin to see some back acne from the gear though Can't have both sides, huh!

Current weight : 169.8 lbs. We going up, slowly. But surely!!

Tomorrow, my favorite: leg day !!

[haldencapital]

Today was hot! Got a great pump going. Upper chest is slowly building a shelf. Abs getting bigger by the day too.

After 2 weeks of cypionate - very low dose - and 40mg of anavar a day, I now feel the difference.

- Incline bench : i can add about 12% more weight than 2 weeks ago.
- Military press is up 10% or so.
- Squats : same weights but reps are moving way faster and I can do 2 more reps per set.

But the more noticeable aspect is the recovery. I can lift heavy and have a greater ability to recover.

@haldencapital test and var is perfect for your gains, clearly getting results, ripped

 

[stevesmi]

looking ripped and huge. great job!

 

[ceo]

Bros. Great job. You look like you're in great shape. Keep it up.

 

[ROIDDERS]

That's great that you're mixing up your splits.

That's some smart training right there.

 

[chesty]

Thanks for taking the time to post up more pictures. You are very inspirational. You look fantastic.

 

[Ulter]

The blood work looks on point.

I really like what I'm seeing out of it.

 

[e2]

Good back shot for sure.

Your body fat is extremely low, absolutely shredded.

This is an amazing update.
That mountain looks tremendous. I hope that's not a volcano.

Very beautiful scenery. I got to give you credit for that.

Needs to be hot here. Brr

 

[JasonPriest]

Getting those nasty back, pumps are always fun. take some taurine if they get too bad!

 

[BodyMonster34]

bro your back looks good!
congrats on another amazing job.

very nice updates.

The photos are very cool to see.

Your abs are popping nicely in the vascularity is on point.

@Vadim Fedorov @Wootoom i get to see amazing sceneries while hiking. Especially during the winter months. That's one of the reason why i try to stay at a "manageable' weight, it allows me to enjoy both passions, one for the weight lifting and one for the outdoor sports. Sometimes I wish I was 20 pounds heavier to put on more mass but then when I'm in the mountains, i get a reality check I've found a happy medium.

 

[25homes]

Looks good

 

[Masonic Bodybuilder]

Looking amazing brother. Glad to hear you are seeing improvements after just a couple weeks with the gear.

[haldencapital]

Another week of training done. Workouts are AAA. Diet as well. Sleep could be better. I still have one or two nights a week where i wake up very early which breaks my sleep cycle a bit but overall, very satisfied on how it's going so far. In 2.5 weeks, up 3.5 solid pounds without (pretty much any) fat gain.

I get stronger but yet, the legs remain skinny. At least they have got veins. In fact, i'm pale as hell, which does not help. i probably need to get a tan (difficult here right now when it's -20 degree celcius outside lol) and good lighting for pictures and they would look 10 pounds bigger

Question for you guys. Since the goal of this first cycle was to acknowledge my responsiveness to the testosterone at higher dosage than my prescribed 50mg a week TRT and that i can tell that i respond very well to it while still using very mild dosage (200 mg of test cypionate + 40 mg anavar per week), could i possibly keep running test for a longer period than the 12 weeks initially planned, finish the 8 weeks of anavar, postpone the PCT at week 12 and instead do a blood work at week 12 and if all is good, continue on the test after week 12 and add a second compound such as masteron? Then after 10-12 weeks on these two coumponds, go ahead with the PCT + my usual 50mg of test TRT per week. Since i'm already lean, i feel like masteron is ideal but i'm unsure if running 24 consecutive weeks total (8 weeks of test+anavar, 4 weeks on test only and 12 weeks on test + masteron) is wise. Thanks !!!

 

[RoidRage69]

You want to grow your legs then get on Deca and eat.

 

[haldencapital]

You want to grow your legs then get on Deca and eat.

Thanks for the feedback @RoidRage69 I'll read more about deca. So far, I'm still a gear newbie so im taking it slow. I got a few compounds I'm more familiar with than deca, so I'll shift my readings to get a better understanding

I dont see why you couldn't? you are in amazing ripped shape, lean and vascular. You can stay on testosterone another 12 weeks, add light masteron 100mgs/week and maybe swap to winstrol stanazolol try it out, you should no matter what get some organ liver support like n2guard to make sure your organs and liver in check.

@haldencapital you and @RoidRage69 have different goals. You want to be lean and shredded, while he's planning a powerlifting world record, different goals in the situation.

Thanks for the feedback, that was my plan @LevButlerov Again, you got my intentions right. I don't want to be 215 pounds. 10 pounds of lean mass while keeping my athletic build and a somewhat healthy enhanced life, and most importantly by trying to have the most efficient relationship of benefits/side effects. So far, my test dose, that is low for most, is enough. I eat more, can train harder and barely gain any fat even with the caloric surplus. I don't need to push the dose 2x, I would aromatize like crazy and my skin would be terrible. I certainly would have more benefits but from a side effects perspective, it would be a diminishing return.

My HDL is out of wack from the anavar already, that was obviously gonna happen. I will be taking it only for 7-8 weeks. That is plenty. I will do my blood work around week 12 to see if 4 weeks off anavar helped my lipids. And from there, run a 3 months cycle with a second compound such as masteron.

As for winstrol, I took clenbuterol when I was a road cyclist. That stuff was nasty. I had winstrol on my list for a cutting phase but these orals are really bad for the liver. So I'll see what I do, if I add an oral or not at the end of this second cycle.

@haldencapital you and @RoidRage69 have different goals. You want to be lean and shredded, while he's planning a powerlifting world record, different goals in the situation.

Most definitely But, even if the goals are differents, it's always worth learning from experience and I appreciate the feedback

@haldencapital yes if you have liver issues I would go low on the orals, but you can jump in some primo/masteron would work.
If you do end up with orals lets talk more and get your organ liver support like n2guard in the mix.

I honestly think you look AMAZING and we can help you build on that as a big EVO family, straight lean mass.

Went pretty hard on the carbohydrates yesterday with over 500 grams, which is unusual for me. I was very full this morning and I'm getting very happy about the seperation between the shoulders, traps and the upper chest. I can really tell the difference between now and the start of my cycle.

Back to normal diet today. There is no need to go above my usual surplus right now. I'll keep the pace steady

170.2 pounds on the scale this morning. It's going up!

You are gifted genetically for sure.

I would have thought you've been using steroids for years.

you will have the chance to seriously compete

@haldencapital man you have a massive chest. I wouldn’t have guess you at 170 lbs.

 

[haldencapital]

@haldencapital man you have a massive chest. I wouldn’t have guess you at 170 lbs.

@ballin2504 Thanks !

I've got a very long frame to fill and legs are lacking volume, which explains the 170lbs. I've got genetically vascular muscles and with a pump it compensates for the legs lol

But to put things into perspective, here are pictures from this morning : no pump. No workout prior. No half natty natural light coming from the window. Front facing lights only. No overhead lighting. Minimal flexing. This gives a better idea. Far from being massive, but ok for 170lbs i guess. I'll let you be the judge

- 80 gr of oats + 50gr of whey pre-workout
- 2 cans of tuna + green veggies + 200 gr jasmin rice
- 200 gr chicken breast + 200 gr jasmin rice
- I finish off the macros with greek yogourt and berries and honey.

Supplements :

- D3, TUDCA, multi, magnesium, fish oil, green powder.

Gear:

175mg of cypionate a week;
40mg of anavar per day.

As I said yesterday, posing and lighting is sometimes very deceiving when we look at bodybuilding pictures online. Of course when I do close-up shots with natural lighting from the side, the veins pop out and muscles are well round and pumped.

The first two pictures here were taken with the least favorable light condition, from the front only. Also posing straight in front of the camera. This is what the physique REALLY looks like without any trick. I think this is important to be transparent

170.1 lbs this morning.

I hope you all had a great week, and have a great weekend !

 

[LevButlerov]

Chest and shoulders today. I like the new striations on the upper chest

I'm very busy right now so diet looks like :

- 80 gr of oats + 50gr of whey pre-workout
- 2 cans of tuna + green veggies + 200 gr jasmin rice
- 200 gr chicken breast + 200 gr jasmin rice

@haldencapital this is a very clean cycle for the way you look, you're just amazing ripped chest ripped abs, very wide shoulders like bowling balls, arms thick and ripped.
You know we should talk about you stepping on stage, consider it.

Food is pretty good but I would add a protein bar to the yogurt.

 

[stevesmi]

Absolutely Wicked on this update you are ripped

You'll be the first one to know if I ever decide to step on stage

Yep, I went grocery shopping this evening and bought 90% cocoa dark chocolate and cookies & cream whey protein to mix with the yogurt. I can stack over 50gr of protein before bed with this yogurt concoction

 

[haldencapital]

Absolutely Wicked on this update you are ripped

Thanks @stevesmi Im starting to like these front facing lighting updates, just like the first 2 pictures. I feel like they really give a proper idea of the physique without any possibility to manipulate the lighting in my favor. Raw profile.

 

[RoySimpson]

Went pretty hard on the carbohydrates yesterday with over 500 grams, which is unusual for me. I was very full this morning and I'm getting very happy about the seperation between the shoulders, traps and the upper chest. I can really tell the difference between now and the start of my cycle.

Back to normal diet today. There is no need to go above my usual surplus right now. I'll keep the pace steady

170.2 pounds on the scale this morning. It's going up!

@haldencapital damn bro that chest is popping!

More back and leg pics too

 

[ceo]

Bros. You got the body to die for.

Ripped and vascular.

 

[ROIDDERS]

Great job man, I really appreciate you taking the time to put up these pictures.

It's very motivational and you should be proud.

 

[chesty]

Absolutely amazing. You have a full eight pack. That's what I'm talking about right here.

 

[Ulter]

Great job man. I like your foundation that you've built from here.

You can definitely continue to improve.

 

[e2]

That's great that you're getting in some morning walks. That goes a long way when it comes to cardio.

 

[2Thick]

Amazing job eggs are definitely a secret weapon and so are the beans.

, are you able to digest the beans?

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

This is a nice supplement list that you have. Do you really think the greens powder is do anything or is it just something a little different?

 

[Wootoom]

170 lbs and absolutely ripped.

I would say your body fat is in the mid single digits at the most

 

[JasonPriest]

Your vascularity is insane, man. You would do a lot of damage at any reasonable bodybuilding competition.

 

[BodyMonster34]

Bro, no, red meat for you?

You don't like it or do you think that it's no good for what you're trying to do?

 

[Quadsweep]

Excellent job listing out your diet. The thing about it is it's simple and it's healthy. It definitely works.

 

[haldencapital]

More back and leg pics too

@Mobster definitely! will update the back and legs when i'll hit them.

Great job man, I really appreciate you taking the time to put up these pictures.

It's very motivational and you should be proud.

@ROIDDERS if that can inspire a few to go the enhanced route without having to blast grams of gears, that is a win to me. Solid years of training foundation does a lot and only mild dosage can do wonder once we jump on the other side of the fence!

That's great that you're getting in some morning walks. That goes a long way when it comes to cardio.

@e2 I try to do my best. Not always easy with the weather here up North Canada but the treadmill is always on standby!

Amazing job eggs are definitely a secret weapon and so are the beans.

, are you able to digest the beans?

@2Thick Digestion was somewhat of an issue at the beginning but once I integrated beans in my daily diet, my system got used to it. I really like the versatility of it. I use them as a carb and fiber source more than anything else.

This is a nice supplement list that you have. Do you really think the greens powder is do anything or is it just something a little different?

@Vadim Fedorov I don't take greens everyday. More often than not, i use the powder when I want to drink something else than water. It's fruit flavored so it tastes good.

170 lbs and absolutely ripped.

I would say your body fat is in the mid single digits at the most

@Wootoom Low teens is my guesstimate. I stack my fat in my thighs I don't really keep track of it. The mirror is my judge

Bro, no, red meat for you?

You don't like it or do you think that it's no good for what you're trying to do?

@BodyMonster34 I used to eat red meat every other day a few years ago. But beef got soooo expensive. I really don't have the budget to buy ground beef at 20$ a kg. I replaced the beef by horse meat at some point but that as well got so damn expensive. This is something I would like to integrate back to the diet for sure.

 

[haldencapital]

Alright, some of you wanted to see progress from my back and my (tiny) legs

I went hard in the paint today with the back workout and added some more volume on the rear delt. They are really popping out on the rear lat spreads. Had a great one after a good night of sleep. Compensated the effort with a great post workout oatmeal with whey, greek yogourt, cinnamon, peanut butter and berries. Yum !

Back acne is on the rise. What do you guys take to counter balance this acne side effect?

Legs are lean but yeah, that is pretty much it. I'm changing gym in the next few weeks, they have a lot more leg machines. I hope this will help the growth.

Lean

 

[haldencapital]

It's been almost 10 days since the last update. I've been working the night shift and sleep got all over the place. I took more rest days than usual while increasing my caloric input, as I felt like the quick progressive overload started to take a toll on recovery.

Weight is up to 172.0 in the morning. It's only been 4 weeks and a half at 150 - 175 mg per week + 40mg of var. Up almost 10 pounds without gaining too much fat if any.

Today was leg day so first picture is without any upper body pump. Flat front picture, no gimmick to look bigger. I can tell that my stomach is building thicker. No bubble gut, but i can tell that I would have one if I was heavy on the dose. I look fuller while wearing a shirt and my shoulders actually look like I somewhat lift even without a pump. lol

Back shots from two days ago, still getting decent activation. Had to cut the workout short, I pinched my lower back while doing barbell rows. Lower back is a weakness of me. I always tend to get injured and since I got noticeably stronger in a short period of time I need to get it up to speed with the rest.
