I am pumped to find this community! Love the podcast, that's where I first heard of this log and forum, appreciate the education and platform for connecting.
My stats-
50yrs old, 5' 11", 212lbs, BF 13-15% (If I am using the calipers correctly...)
Chest 47in / Biceps 16..5in / Calves 16.5in / neck 16in / waist 41in / hips 37in
Weight train 4-5 times per week, 30-60min's per. Mostly power lifting approach, but adding in more hypertrophy as time goes on. A few weeks ago I added in more walking, averaging 11k steps per day now.
Track my daily calories and macros, 170days running. Average about 2600-2700cal/day, 250 protein, 200 carb, 100 fat (roughly)
My story-
Was lean 175lbs as a teenager, went into sales and heavy drinking in my 20's. Workaholic, pothead, successful in business, bought multi-property, made good money, drank a lot, ate even more. Married at 30, had a couple kids, but eating and drinking was always overdone, and no exercise.
By 44yrs old I was 245lbs, no libido, drinking a little every day, eating poorly, feeling poorly, and while I didn't know it at the time, depressed, with constant negative thoughts.
Reconnected with a lifelong friend who seemed to be in a similar rut. We agreed to start lifting, that was 4.5yrs ago, we haven't stopped!. 6 months into our journey, we both looked into TRT, we had heard good things about it from some of our peers, and jumped in with both feet.
Testosterone saved my life. I didn't realize how destructive my eating, drinking, and negative thoughts were until I started lifting regularly, started Testosterone, and had some hindsight and time to reflect. Yes, the lifting was helpful in itself, but the motivation to keep doing it, the gains, the quick recovery, and the mental determination to improve all areas of my life, came more from the hormonal improvement than the lifting, imo. I got serious about all aspects of my life and carrier.
My stack and dose-
Started TRT 4yrs ago, 200mg/week with an AI. Added Deca 100mg/week and Anavar 12-25Mg/day for 12 weeks (Jan-Mar 2024) Bumped up my calories from 2600/day to 3000-3500cal/day, gained 15lbs in 12 weeks, bench press went from 385 to 405.
October 2024 S/B/D 435/405/500 (total increased ~100lbs each year the past 3 years.)
Watched hematocrit slowly rise over the past few years from 49, to 51, to 54... Mitigate with blood donations, pining more often, and reduced to 125mg/week. More water, more cardio. Dropped 25lbs in the past 6mo's.
Blood work looks good. Signed up for another power lifting meet in August, so here's the new weekly stack, pinning roughly 3x per week to get these totals;
~250 Test C
~250 Primo
~200 Deca
1/4 to 1/2 tab of AI. But noticed I am a bit emotional, so may need to up this. Had a few moments of rage this past week, so I am confident the gear is working. (tested with Roid Test, all seems legit)
I have Anavar on hand, I might add that in, 10-20mg/day.
Cialis 5mg every other day.
My exercise-
Monday - Power lift Flat Bench using the 5-5-5 program. Hit 365 x 4 reps recently, hit 405 x 1 recently.
Tuesday - Power lift Squat - numbers are a little lower than last year. Trying to avoid injury. Have occasional strains or nerve pain after pushing it. Last week's lift ended 375 x 3
Wednesday - Lats, seated rows, triceps, pull ups, rear delts, sometimes shoulders as well
Thursday, dead lifts, but have been inconsistent with these.
Friday, Chest - 10-12 working sets, 8-12 reps, some flat, incline, dumbbell, flys, dips
Weekend - Recently started adding in leg extensions, leg curls, calves, abs, back extensions.
I will admit, I need to add more diversity to my workouts and get more leg work in. Too often I hit the gym with no plan, and work bench and shoulders because they are comfortable... I often flat bench 315lb for set of 8, and finish with 225 for a set of 20.
Here is a snap shot of my log, in the graph below, I track my weight daily, (body weight), calories consumed, and the macros protein, carbs, and fats. I started tracking my PED dosages in the far right columns, Test Cyp 200mg, Primo 100mg, Deca 300mg, Anavar 12mg, HGH. I record the mg's pinned daily. Most days I pull the Test/Primo/Deca all into one syringe for one injection. Occasionally I add just one on a given day. I have been tracking like this since Jan 1 2025, I subtotal every 10 days. Based on this I know that currently 2600cals/day is a deficit due to my increased cardio and PED stack. A few months back I was gaining weight at a similar food intake. Surprisingly, I have increased my current calorie intake to near 3000/day, and weight is staying steady...
The question is, will this course increase muscle and allow me to drive down my BF %? I will keep you posted as I progress through the next few weeks.
Lifts - are they stronger?
Weight - has it moved?
Pants - do they fit the same or more loosely?
Other markers I should be watching?
