Session:
Tuesday - Legs (Quad Emphasis, Week 5 Day 2)


Quad-dominant session starting with four progressive sets on the hack squat, topping out at 160kg. Leg press followed, then single-leg extensions helped isolate the quads further, with controlled tempo and controlled reps. Hamstring work included barbell good mornings and lying leg curls to balance the session without overloading posterior chain. Wrapped up with leg press calf raises. No lower back pain during hack squats today- a clear improvement from last week’s flare-up. Pump was strong through the quads, and energy was stable across the session.

Cardio:
20-minute walk at lunch.

Nutrition & Supps:
Pre-workout included casein, lite milk, Chex, Pump Juice, Disorder, and carb powder. Intra-workout was creatine and additional Pump Juice. Meals earlier in the day included oats, peri-peri chicken with rice, high-protein snacks, and consistent water intake. Fullness is building toward the end of the day, and food capacity is nearing upper limits- will monitor this closely.

Recovery:
Slept 6 hours and 57 minutes. Sleep quality felt strong and woke feeling refreshed. Lower back is pain-free and able to tolerate volume now. Overall recovery is in a good place.

Current PEDs:
Same as previously mentioned.

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
No noted sides. Injection sites fine. Mood, libido, and digestion all solid. No changes to GH timing or other protocols.

Adjustments Made:
None today- training, PEDs, and nutrition structure all in a good space.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight: 109.9kg. Strength and volume both holding steady.

General Comments:
Early starts at work continue, but stress is managed and gym performance isn’t affected. Feeling good across the board and confident in the current structure. Looking forward to upcoming bloods to confirm where things sit internally.

Session:
Monday - Chest & Back

Alternating push-pull session across horizontal and vertical planes. Bench felt solid with good progression through top sets. No issues with elbow on either pushing or pulling movements. Energy was slightly lower at the start of the day but was in a good space by the time I started the workout.

Cardio:
None.

Nutrition & Supps:
Pre-workout: Disorder pre, acetyl-l-carnitine, pump juice, and carb powder.
Intra-workout: Pump juice and creatine.
Post-workout: Casein protein with cereal.

All other meals to this point attached- solid intake and pacing so far, with adequate carbohydrate coverage leading into training.

Recovery:
Slept 7 hours and 23 minutes. Disturbed by the kids a couple of times (flu still hanging around) but still entered the session feeling recovered after a low-demand weekend. Back continues to hold up well- no twinges or tightness pre, during or post-training. Elbow is being managed successfully with no disruption to workload.

Current PEDs:
Same as previously mentioned.

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Injected right quad this morning- PIP-free and uneventful. Slight sluggishness in the morning likely due to disrupted sleep, but not a trend of concern.

Adjustments Made:
Bumped calories a bit this past weekend but activity output was probably too low to justify the increase.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight: 111.5 kg.
Training output is holding and no performance regression noted.

General Comments:
Early starts at work continue, but stress is managed and gym performance isn’t affected. Feeling good across the board and confident in the current structure. Looking forward to upcoming bloods to confirm where things sit internally.

This was a clean and well structured session. Hack squat form improving and no back pain is a great sign your body is adapting to the load and volume. Quads clearly got hit hard with the tempo work and pump sounds on point. Good job balancing the hamstrings without frying your lower back again.
Food intake sounds full but manageable. Keep tracking that fullness feeling especially with carbs creeping up. Sleep under seven hours but still waking refreshed is a good sign your recovery systems are firing well especially with GH support in play. Keep the protocol consistent until bloods confirm everything is still aligned internally. Everything looks solid right now just stay steady. @hypogaeum

Session:
Week 5 - Shoulders, Biceps & Triceps

Shoulder, arm and ab session late this afternoon. Movements included seated dumbbell shoulder press, leaning cable laterals, rope face pulls, EZ cable curls, triceps pushdowns, single-arm preacher curls, overhead cable triceps extensions, and hanging knee raises. The improved meal timing, macro structure, and hydration leading into training is noticeably improving performance and visual fullness.

Cardio:
No cardio completed today.

Nutrition & Supps:
Lunch was a macro friendly butter chicken with jasmine rice.
Pre-workout included casein custard and Coco Pops Chex, along with Pump Juice, Disorder, ALCAR and carb powder.
Intra-workout included Pump Juice, creatine, and water.

Recovery:
Sleep last night was 6 hours and 51 minutes. Quality was good, and woke feeling well rested. No lingering soreness across any of the trained muscle groups today. Body feels fresh and recovery is holding up well.

Current PEDs:
Test E: 437.5mg/week
EQ: 210mg/week
NPP: 210mg/week
GH: 5IU/day
Injected left quad this morning. No injection issues.

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
No injection issues or notable side effects. Mood, libido, digestion and energy all in a good place.

Adjustments Made:
None today. Nutritional structure and routine are both working well at present.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight: 110.9kg
Physique is currently looking slightly softer than a few weeks ago, but there are several contributing factors worth noting- growth hormone has increased from 3.33IU to 5IU, overall PED load is significantly higher, glycogen retention is greater, and carb availability around workouts has improved due to better nutrient timing. Visual fullness and strength are both up, and overall trend appears consistent with a productive growth phase.

General Comments:
Pleased with how everything is coming together. Training environment is consistent, recovery is strong, and there’s a clear runway into the next few weeks. Everything is on track.

Week 5 - Hamstring & Glute Focus
Early morning session due to work commitments later in the day. In the gym by 6am after an early breakfast at 4:45am, which did a good job fuelling the session. Training focused on hamstrings and glutes, including single-leg lying leg curls, stiff-legged deadlifts, reverse lunges, cable glute kickbacks, single-leg cuffed adductions, and leg press calf raises. Good intensity throughout, no joint discomfort, and strength continues to improve. Enjoying the current lower body split with one quad-focused day and one posterior-focused day each week.

Cardio:
No cardio yet, but planning a lunchtime walk (depending on feel and weather).

Nutrition & Supps:
Breakfast was 70g oats with 40g custard casein, pre-workout included pump juice and pre-workout powder, and intra-workout was just water. Post-workout included chex and protein. Also added creatine and ALCAR to my water, as I didn't have it pre or intra. All food currently sitting well and digestion is in a good place. Appetite isn’t huge but intake is consistent and processing well.

Recovery:
Slept 6 hours and 50 minutes last night. No joint issues or niggles in today’s session. Body is holding up well, and the shift to earlier training hasn’t presented any problems so far.

Current PEDs:
Test E: 437.5mg/week
EQ: 210mg/week
NPP: 210mg/week
GH: 5IU/day, 7 days/week

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
No issues to report.

Adjustments Made:
Early morning sessions today and tomorrow have required some tweaks to meal timing, but no change to training layout or targets.

Progress Updates:
No weight recorded this morning.

General Comments:
Momentum is strong. Energy is good despite the earlier start, and strength continues to trend in the right direction. Liking the direction things are heading and staying focused on getting the work done regardless of time of day.

Better man than myself, with the early gym sessions

I usually struggle with them, but getting food in early made the earlier start worth it as far as gym performance. And I know I’ll be in a mood if I don’t get a workout in at some point in the day, so I try look after the mental health and make it happen

Pre-workout included casein custard and Coco Pops Chex, along with Pump Juice, Disorder, ALCAR and carb powder.
Intra-workout included Pump Juice, creatine, and water.

Recovery:
Sleep last night was 6 hours and 51 minutes. Quality was good, and woke feeling well rested. No lingering soreness across any of the trained muscle groups today. Body feels fresh and recovery is holding up well.

Current PEDs:
Test E: 437.5mg/week
EQ: 210mg/week
NPP: 210mg/week
GH: 5IU/day
Injected left quad this morning. No injection issues.

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
No injection issues or notable side effects. Mood, libido, digestion and energy all in a good place.

Adjustments Made:
None today. Nutritional structure and routine are both working well at present.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight: 110.9kg
Physique is currently looking slightly softer than a few weeks ago, but there are several contributing factors worth noting- growth hormone has increased from 3.33IU to 5IU, overall PED load is significantly higher, glycogen retention is greater, and carb availability around workouts has improved due to better nutrient timing. Visual fullness and strength are both up, and overall trend appears consistent with a productive growth phase.

General Comments:
Pleased with how everything is coming together. Training environment is consistent, recovery is strong, and there’s a clear runway into the next few weeks. Everything is on track.

All you need to get better

Nice job dialing in the diet and the training. I like your little notes and I like the steroids that you're doing, it's good that you're waking up while rested. That means you slept good. @hypogaeum

@hypogaeum Put a lot of respect on this update. You're showing a lot of things that's going on. I like that you're doing the testosterone and equipoise, but I would have ran the equipoise, maybe a little higher.

 

[ballin2504]

Session:
Monday - Chest & Back

Alternating push-pull session across horizontal and vertical planes. Bench felt solid with good progression through top sets. No issues with elbow on either pushing or pulling movements. Energy was slightly lower at the start of the day but was in a good space by the time I started the workout.

Cardio:
None.

Nutrition & Supps:
Pre-workout: Disorder pre, acetyl-l-carnitine, pump juice, and carb powder.
Intra-workout: Pump juice and creatine.
Post-workout: Casein protein with cereal.

All other meals to this point attached- solid intake and pacing so far, with adequate carbohydrate coverage leading into training.

Recovery:
Slept 7 hours and 23 minutes. Disturbed by the kids a couple of times (flu still hanging around) but still entered the session feeling recovered after a low-demand weekend. Back continues to hold up well- no twinges or tightness pre, during or post-training. Elbow is being managed successfully with no disruption to workload.

Current PEDs:
Same as previously mentioned.

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Injected right quad this morning- PIP-free and uneventful. Slight sluggishness in the morning likely due to disrupted sleep, but not a trend of concern.

Adjustments Made:
Bumped calories a bit this past weekend but activity output was probably too low to justify the increase.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight: 111.5 kg.
Training output is holding and no performance regression noted.

General Comments:
Session felt productive. Recovery outlook is solid heading into the week despite minor sleep interruption. Back and elbow continue to trend in a positive direction. No concerns at this stage

@hypogaeum great work man. You always have quality updates

@hypogaeum delts are poppin bro!

 

[hypogaeum]

Session:
Monday - Chest & Back

Strong session across the board with good energy and execution. Opened with flat barbell bench, working up to 120kg x 10 which moved smoothly- first time in a while moving that kind of load without it compromising the remainder of the workout. All sets for chest and back stayed controlled, with full reps logged and no drop-off in output. Pump was solid and grip improvements via Versa Grips made a noticeable difference to forearm and elbow comfort.

Cardio:
15-minute walk at lunch.

Nutrition & Supps:
Pre-workout meal of rice and tuna with full supplement stack (preworkout, Pump Juice, ALCAR, carb powder) delivered a strong pump and energy without bloating. Intra-workout included creatine and Pump Juice. Lunch was BBQ chicken and rice. Overall intake seemed well timed and effective in supporting performance.

Recovery:
6 hours 30 minutes sleep last night, but quality was high. Weekend was relatively low exertion, which helped set up a good recovery base for this session. Body feels fresh and joint health is in a good place- no complaints on elbow.

Current PEDs:
Same as previously mentioned.

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
No injections today. Last injection was left lat and is holding up well- rotation schedule is working with sites only being hit every 2.5 weeks. Versa Grips have helped alleviate forearm and elbow issues.

Adjustments Made:
Ongoing refinement of nutrition to find the balance between sufficient caloric intake and sustainable food volume without GI stress.

Progress Updates:
No morning weight recorded today or over the weekend. Visually, things are holding reasonably well despite the recent weight increase. Overall look is slightly softer, likely due to a combination of increased GH, total PED load, improved glycogen retention, and a consistent influx of carbs around training windows for performance.

General Comments:
Felt strong in the gym and mentally fresh. No strain from the weekend and recovery outlook remains solid. Bloodwork will be booked within the next two weeks to keep things tracked. Everything is in a good place heading into the middle of the week.

 

[hypogaeum]

Session:
Tuesday - Lower Body (Quads / Hams / Calves)
Early session at a different gym this morning. Equipment differences aside, things moved well and intensity was there from the first set. Worked through leg press, hack squat, extensions, good mornings, curls and calves. Legs held up well, no tightness or joint aggravation. Mind-muscle connection was strong and performance held steady across the workout. Strength felt like it stepped up again this week.

Cardio:
None yet. Pushed for time today but hoping to get an evening walk in, weather permitting.

Nutrition & Supps:
Pre-workout was simple but effective- carb powder, pump blend, pre-workout and plenty of water. Not enjoyable to drink (was bit of a rough flavour mix), but digested well and fuelled the session without bloat. Post-workout was a couple of chilli-garlic chicken meals. Full day’s nutrition still in progress.
Pre: Carb powder, pre-workout, Pump Juice, ALCAR, creatine
Intra: Plenty of water + 2 scoops Pump Juice
Post: 2 serves Strength Meals Co Chilli Garlic Chicken Bowl
Hydration has been good so far.

Recovery:
Slept 6 hours 33 minutes. Not amazing quality, but after a slower weekend, motivation was strong this morning and session felt good. No joint issues or fatigue carried in from yesterday’s session.

Current PEDs:
Same as previously mentioned. Injected right delt this morning. No issues at the site.

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned. Weekly pill container has made consistency simple.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Patience is thinner, particularly in traffic. Not aggressive, but noticing irritability rising quicker than usual. Not spilling into the home side of things, but it's something to monitor. Bit of additional work stress/ pressure and possible hormonal shifts may be a factor. Will keep watch and reassess once bloodwork is back.

Adjustments Made:
None today. Bloodwork still planned in the next 1-2 weeks. Nutrition continues to be managed carefully to balance calories and digestive comfort.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight: 111.3kg.
Holding well visually, however look is slightly softer. Strength trending up with a noticeable jump this week so far.

General Comments:
Work pressure has been higher than usual, which may be contributing to mood swings and slightly broken sleep. That said, energy, training drive, and consistency are all in a good place. Keen to see how blood markers look soon so adjustments (if any) are evidence-based and I'm not going on gut feel.

Progressing nicely making gains, 111kg is a good weight, but the mood swings and broken sleep can be an issue. Have you started before bed valerian zinc magnesium? @hypogaeum

Magnesium every night before sleep

Magnesium every night before sleep

Try adding zinc and valerian root

Session:
Wednesday - Shoulders, Arms

Session felt strong overall. The dumbbell shoulder press moved well, but the shoulder pump came on fast and bordered on painful, particularly across lateral and face pull work. Slightly impacted rep quality on later sets. Arms were fine to train through and everything moved steadily, with no drop-offs across biceps or triceps.

Cardio:
15-minute walk at lunch.

Nutrition & Supps:
Four solid meals in by the time of logging, including oats and whey for breakfast, a microwave meal for lunch with added jasmine rice, and a tuna + rice pre-workout meal. Digestion was notably better today after skipping the sweeter casein protein options, and appetite was solid. Pre and intra-workout included pump juice, carb powder, Disorder, ALCAR and creatine. Tracking to hit macro and calorie targets with dinner still to come.

Recovery:
7 hours and 28 minutes sleep last night with good quality. Elbow discomfort remains minor and manageable. No other recovery issues to report, and energy has held up well through this week’s training so far.

Current PEDs:
Same as previously mentioned. No injection today.

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Mood was steadier today and stress has improved off the back of juggling some work tasks. No other sides to note- energy and drive remain in a strong place.

Adjustments Made:
None today. Bloods coming up in the next couple of weeks which may lead to refinements depending on results.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight: 111.0kg. Look continues to run slightly softer at the moment, but nothing too scary just yet. Pumps and strength continue trending upward.

General Comments:
Good day today with fewer stressors and a more level mood. Motivation remains high and the system feels locked in heading toward next week’s deload. Tomorrow is legs, which should give further insight into how recovery is holding up under current loading.

No need to do more if the shoulders are 'done'

 

[2Thick]

Session:
Wednesday - Shoulders, Arms

Session felt strong overall. The dumbbell shoulder press moved well, but the shoulder pump came on fast and bordered on painful, particularly across lateral and face pull work. Slightly impacted rep quality on later sets. Arms were fine to train through and everything moved steadily, with no drop-offs across biceps or triceps.

Cardio:
15-minute walk at lunch.

Nutrition & Supps:
Four solid meals in by the time of logging, including oats and whey for breakfast, a microwave meal for lunch with added jasmine rice, and a tuna + rice pre-workout meal. Digestion was notably better today after skipping the sweeter casein protein options, and appetite was solid. Pre and intra-workout included pump juice, carb powder, Disorder, ALCAR and creatine. Tracking to hit macro and calorie targets with dinner still to come.

Recovery:
7 hours and 28 minutes sleep last night with good quality. Elbow discomfort remains minor and manageable. No other recovery issues to report, and energy has held up well through this week’s training so far.

Current PEDs:
Same as previously mentioned. No injection today.

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Mood was steadier today and stress has improved off the back of juggling some work tasks. No other sides to note- energy and drive remain in a strong place.

Adjustments Made:
None today. Bloods coming up in the next couple of weeks which may lead to refinements depending on results.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight: 111.0kg. Look continues to run slightly softer at the moment, but nothing too scary just yet. Pumps and strength continue trending upward.

General Comments:
Good day today with fewer stressors and a more level mood. Motivation remains high and the system feels locked in heading toward next week’s deload. Tomorrow is legs, which should give further insight into how recovery is holding up under current loading.

nice notations on this. i like how you are on point with your mood and general feelings on stuff. that is glad to see! @hypogaeum

@hypogaeum you seem to have a unique ability to know your body well. that is not as common as people think. knowing when to deload and when to push is important

bros this is a good one. the cardio is looking sweet. i love the adjustments or none you doing. good writeup and i like this style of logging too @hypogaeum

 

[hypogaeum]

Session:
Thursday - Hamstrings / Glutes Focus

Despite lingering quad DOMS from Tuesday, yesterdays hamstring-dominant session ran smoothly. Lying leg curls and stiff-leg deadlifts moved well, and strength continues to trend upward across movements. Cable glute kickbacks caused a significant lower back pump that lingered well past the set, but nothing that impacted performance. All working sets were executed with good control and intensity.

Cardio:
15-minute walk after lunch.

Nutrition & Supps:
Breakfast through to post-workout nutrition is attached. Day finished with chicken, rice, and veggies. Digestion has been solid, and the recent refinements in food timing and meal content seem to be helping. Pre- and intra-workout protocols were consistent with prior sessions and continue to support good session output.

Recovery:
Slept 7 hours and 3 minutes. DOMS in the quads was significant but not concerning- expected given the increased load and overall session volume on Tuesday. No joint pain or new issues to report.

Current PEDs:
Same as previously mentioned.

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Mood continues to improve as work-related stress settles. Libido and energy are in a good place. No other side effects to note.

Adjustments Made:
None.

Progress Updates:
No weight taken yesterday morning. Strength has taken another step forward this week and training quality has followed suit. Confidence is high with how the gear is performing, and the blend of recovery, nutrition, and structure is dialled in.

General Comments:
Everything feels well-aligned heading into the final session of the week. Quads are still recovering but not a limiting factor. Looking forward to an early morning session today and using the weekend to recover before pushing on into one final week before a planned deload.

@hypogaeum solid work on this log bro great info!

 

[Pigsy]

Great stuff @hypogaeum, representing @UGL OZ

 

[hypogaeum]

Session: Friday - Chest & Back
Trained at a different location today, which brought a fresh boost to motivation. Morning session with less fuel in the system but still managed a strong performance, especially on the bench press where form and load continue to progress. Chest and back pump was excellent, with all working sets executed well.

Cardio: Planned lunchtime walk.

Nutrition & Supps: Pre-workout included Pump Juice, pre-workout, carb powder, whey protein, and creatine. Intra-workout was Pump Juice with water. Post-workout meal was BBQ beef brisket with sweet potato fries. Morning tea and lunch both planned and logged, with carb powder now being used pre-workout instead of intra, which feels effective for session energy.

Recovery: Slept 6 hours 34 minutes with solid quality. Feeling good despite the shorter sleep. No training planned over the weekend, allowing for full recovery before another push next week.

Current PEDs: Same as previously mentioned.

Current Health Supplements: Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments: No negative side effects noted. Pumps remain intense, and strength jumps are noticeable- @UGL OZ gear has well and truly kicked in and doing what it's supposed to do.

Adjustments Made: None.

Progress Updates: Weight not recorded this morning. Committing to scheduling updated physique photos next week.

General Comments: Looking to finish work early for an event tonight. Weekend will be lower pace with family time before one more hard week of training leading into deload. Bloods planned in 1.5-2 weeks.

@hypogaeum great update man. You’re doing awesome.

 

[hypogaeum]

Session:
Week 7, Monday + Chest, Back & Abs

Good session with movements as per attached. Intensity was high with increases to both weight and reps across the board. Program called for 0RIR, so pushed each set accordingly and exceeded my own expectations on a few lifts. Pump came on fast and strong, with energy consistent from start to finish after a solid night’s sleep and a slower weekend. Strength progression has been notable over the past week.

Cardio:
No cardio today.

Nutrition & Supps:
All meals up to dinner are attached. Digestion in a good place and fuelling feels on point.

Recovery:
8 hours and 4 minutes sleep last night with good quality. Body feels fresh after the weekend. Elbow has occasional flare-ups (but minimal impact) and back has returned to normal. Calves are a bit tight but are being worked on.

Current PEDs:
437.5 mg Test E
210 mg EQ
210 mg NPP
5IU/day GH

Current Health Supplements:
CoQ10 300 mg
Vitamin D3 75 mcg
Vitamin K2 180 mcg
Berberine 1000 mg
Citrus Bergamot 1000 mg
Omega-3 4000 mg
NAC 1 g
Aspirin 100 mg
Magnesium Blend 1 scoop
Telmisartan 80 mg

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Blood pressure 119/74 this morning. Injections smooth with no discomfort (left VG today). Libido, mood, and energy in a good place.

Adjustments Made:
No immediate changes to training or PEDs this week, but will add TUDCA for liver support. PED adjustments planned for next week based on final LCMS and hsCRP results.

Progress Updates:
111.9kg this morning after a weekend without weight sessions and minimal cardio- expect weight to dip slightly in the next day or two. Strength continues to climb. Deload planned for next week to manage recovery and avoid injury.

General Comments:
Sleep, motivation, and energy are high.
Had the opportunity to get bloodwork early this morning and initial results are back. Waiting on LCMS testing for test and E2, and hsCRP, so test and E2 numbers are likely a little lower than shown.
Having said that, my expectation is that while E2 is “within range”, it’s lower than the 200 (or so) that I usually like it at. Lipids are solid with HDL in a good spot, LDL mid-range, and triglycerides low. Kidney markers show creatinine slightly above range with eGFR at 70 (possibly reflective of muscle mass and training status), but worth monitoring. Liver enzymes are moderately elevated, so TUDCA will be introduced this week. Haematology looks good, so I’m very happy with how EQ is treating me so far. Awaiting LCMS testosterone and E2 values for more accurate hormone assessment, along with hsCRP for inflammation status.
Based on the full results, I’m leaning towards a small bump in Test E is likely, and keeping NPP in for the full 20 weeks (rather than dropping at the end of week 12).

Creatinine alt ast you need to take care of that, you should have had organ liver suppor from day 1 on this.

 

[hypogaeum]

Creatinine alt ast you need to take care of that, you should have had organ liver suppor from day 1 on this.

Appreciate the concern, but I have been running a comprehensive health stack from day one- NAC, citrus bergamot, CoQ10, omega-3s, etc. and some liver support has been covered from the start. The mild AST/ALT bump is well within what you’d expect mid-blast with intense training, and GGT is perfectly normal. Creatinine is also consistent with higher muscle mass and training volume. I’ll be adding in TUDCA for the remainder of the phase as a precaution, but nothing here is outside of the expected range for my current protocol.

 

[hypogaeum]

No concerns on hsCRP number.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
No side effects noted.

Adjustments Made:
From next week, Test E to increase from 125mg EOD to 150mg EOD (437.5mg/week to 612.5mg/week) to bring E2 up slightly. NPP and EQ will both be run for the full 20 weeks, at the current dosages, instead of dropping NPP and upping EQ at week 12. No other changes planned for the remainder of the blast. TUDCA to be introduced next week.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight 111.4kg. Progress continues as expected and in line with goals.

General Comments:
Really happy with current trajectory and progress. Bloodwork confirms health markers are in check, and current supplement protocol is effective. Confident with the planned PED adjustments and addition of TUDCA heading into the second half of the blast.

As a slight side note (worth mentioning as the lack of primo and mast right now means EQ is being talked about more), I included EQ in my cycle primarily to help manage E2, taking an educated guess based on how I typically aromatise test. It has brought my E2 down far more than primo ever has, it’s significantly cheaper, and the tangible strength increase I noticed around the end of week 6/start of week 7 was remarkable. I’ve been very happy with the experience so far. While there are certainly risks with EQ (potential impacts on RBC/haematocrit and lipid profiles, etc), if people are feeling stuck for options with primo and mast off the table, I think it’s worth serious consideration in a future cycle. It might pleasantly surprise you like it did to me

Session:
Week 7, Thursday - Hamstrings, Glutes, Quads & Calves

Contractions felt great throughout the session, but today was one of those days where the planned deload next week feels well-timed. Progress continues to move forward, but a short sleep last night after an early start for a family airport drop-off and several weeks of high intensity left me gassed by the end. Knees had some soreness, possibly linked to lower E2 or cumulative fatigue. Still able to hit good numbers and execution remained solid.

Cardio:
20 minutes walking in the morning.

Nutrition & Supps:
Meals attached. Supplementation remains unchanged while awaiting the arrival of TUDCA. Digestion remains in a good place.

Recovery:
4 hours 21 minutes of sleep last night. Late bedtime followed by an early wake-up for driving. Plan is to catch up tonight ahead of a morning chest and back session tomorrow to finish the week before deload.

Current PEDs:
Remain the same (until next week).

Current Health Supplements:
Remain the same (until TUDCA arrives).

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Knees a little sore today, potentially from E2 being on the lower side or just overall fatigue. No other side effects noted.

Adjustments Made:
None yet. Plan is still to increase testosterone next week and keep EQ and NPP in place for the full 20 weeks.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight: 110.7kg

General Comments:
Feeling ready for the deload to allow recovery to catch up. Looking forward to a final chest and back session tomorrow before pulling back for a week. Expecting extra test and the deload to address knee soreness and keep momentum strong into the next block.

Session:
Week 7, Friday - Chest, Back & Shoulders
Earlier 6am session. Slow to get going after a light start (pre-workout meal only) and a few nights of reduced sleep. Took longer rests on the incline bench work to let things warm up, which paid off with solid output by the end of the pulldowns. Finished with steady work across machine presses, rows, and shoulder movements.

Cardio:
25 minutes brisk walk at lunch.

Nutrition & Supps:
Morning tea taken post-workout due to bodywork appointment, combining breakfast and morning tea into one sitting. Digestion seems to have handled things without any problem, which is nice. Meals so far as attached.

Recovery:
6 hours 52 minutes sleep, not enough to feel fully caught up. Moda keeping energy steady today. Planning a solid sleep tonight.

Current PEDs:
Same as previously mentioned. Increasing test from Sunday and adding TUDCA.

Current Health Supplements:
Remain unchanged.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Calves and elbow worked on during bodywork. No notable adverse effects otherwise.

Adjustments Made:
Test to be increased next week, TUDCA added.

Progress Updates:
No morning weigh-in.

General Comments:
Ready for a weekend of light cardio and recovery. Aware of the toll being taken, but happy to trade the short step back next week in the form of a deload for bigger forward progress in the weeks ahead.

i have the same question as LEV @hypogaeum any dinner here?

Yeah I usually update more or less right after my workout, so it’s before I’ve had dinner. But I am eating after my workouts!

 

[hypogaeum]

Session:
Week 8, Monday - Chest, Back & Abs (Deload)

Afternoon session to start deload week. Worked through movements at much lower intensity, which felt good and highlighted that I’ve been carrying more fatigue than I had realised. The session was relatively uneventful- achieved a moderate pump, but pulling back should help reset things for stronger momentum next week.

Cardio:
25 minutes on the exercise bike at a moderate pace post-workout.

Nutrition & Supps:
Meal timing was a little off this morning due to a client meeting, but caught things back up and on track for daily targets. Calories adjusted to the midpoint between training and non-training days (approx. 2,650 kcal).

Recovery:
7 hours 16 minutes sleep. Aiming for an early night to fully address any lingering fatigue. Continuing foam rolling and calf stretching daily. Elbow still feeling good after last week’s work.

Current PEDs:
Test increased to 600 mg weekly as of today. All else the same.

Current Health Supplements:
TUDCA added in.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Energy lower than usual, but manageable. No adverse effects noted.

Adjustments Made:
Lower training intensity for deload. Increased test, TUDCA added.

Progress Updates:
No weigh-in this morning.

General Comments:
Looking forward to a slower, steady week of training to get the body into a better place. Plan is to use this week to fully recover and then push forward with renewed momentum.

Session:
Week 8, Tuesday - Quads, Hamstrings & Calves (Deload)
Morning session today. Training moved well, and although this week is programmed as a deload, I pushed a touch harder than was programmed as everything felt good and energy was high. Trusting that it wasn’t enough to compromise recovery.

Cardio:
25 minutes of walking about 45 minutes post-session.

Nutrition & Supps:
Meals so far as attached. Lunch planned shortly. Nutrition holding steady, no issues with digestion.

Recovery:
7 hours 3 minutes of good-quality sleep. Targeting earlier nights this week to support consecutive morning sessions.

Current PEDs:
175mg Test, 60mg EQ, 60mg NPP injected this morning into left glute (EOD schedule until end of blast). GH 5IU daily continuing.

Current Health Supplements:
CoQ10 300 mg
Vitamin D3 75 mcg
Vitamin K2 180 mcg
Berberine 1000 mg
Citrus Bergamot 1000 mg
Omega-3 4000 mg
NAC 1 g
Aspirin 100 mg
Magnesium blend (1 scoop)
Telmisartan 80 mg
TUDCA 500 mg

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Injection sites are holding up well. Rotating locations with the EOD schedule has kept oil volume and site frequency balanced, and the quality of the gear has meant no irritation or PIP. Energy and recovery both remain good.

Adjustments Made:
Maintaining deload approach but allowed some additional work where it felt comfortable.

Progress Updates:
No weigh-in this morning. Visuals holding steady.

General Comments:
Looking to build consistency with morning sessions this week. Early nights will be key to maintaining energy and recovery across the block.

@hypogaeum I think this was asked before, but no dinner posted a few times, can you add that please?

 

[hypogaeum]

Sessions:
Week 8, Wednesday (Arms & Shoulders) & Thursday (Lower) (Deload)

Both sessions completed in the mornings. Training was taken at the lower intensity planned, moving well and serving the purpose of keeping things ticking without adding fatigue. A bit going on on the personal side, and as a result my schedule has been full on, but the timing of this deload has lined up well- if it were a normal week of progression, recovery would have been much harder to manage.

Cardio:
None over the last two days. Will resume next week.

Nutrition & Supps:
Nutrition has been steady and consistent despite external distractions. Hitting targets has provided a good sense of structure. Supplements remain unchanged (including TUDCA).

Recovery:
Sleep has been a little disrupted, not quite as much or as early nights as needed, but the body is still recovering. Lingering fatigue is easing, and energy levels are trending up.

Current PEDs:
175mg Test, 60mg EQ, 60mg NPP EOD and 5IU GH daily.

Current Health Supplements:
Remain unchanged.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
No negative sides.

Adjustments Made:
None since earlier in the week. Continuing with deload structure.

Progress Updates:
Weight this morning 111.9kg.

General Comments:
Deload falling at the right time with life being busy. Body feels like it’s bouncing back, and I’m optimistic the test increase will support that further in the coming week. Looking forward to a fresh push when the program resumes.

 

[hypogaeum]

Session:
Week 8, Friday - Chest, Back, Shoulders & Abs (Deload)
Final deload session this morning. Energy was high despite no preworkout food, likely thanks to the new high-stim pre and a really solid night of sleep. Movements felt good, and no discomfort during the session as far as the elbow was concerned. Finished with shoulders and abs. Looking forward to raising the load and intensity again next week.

Cardio:
None planned. Expecting steps to end above 10k from daily activity with a busy day planned.

Nutrition & Supps:
Meal plan as attached. Digestion in a good space and appetite steady. Nutrition targets on point. Health supplements unchanged.

Recovery:
7 hours 35 minutes of high-quality sleep. Woke early feeling refreshed and well rested.

Current PEDs:
Same as previously mentioned. No injection today.

Current Health Supplements:
Remain unchanged.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
No negative sides. Energy notably higher today, suggesting recovery moving in the right direction.

Adjustments Made:
None.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight 111.4kg. Holding steady.

General Comments:
Didn’t pull back quite as much as the program prescribed, but hoping the weekend rounds out recovery. Feeling positive heading into Week 9, with good signs that CNS stress is resolving.

 

[hypogaeum]

Deload Week Summary (Week 8)

Training Execution:
Pushed harder than programmed at times, using the gym as an outlet during an intense week on the personal front. Volume and intensity were reduced overall, but not as much as intended. Recovery impact will become clear in the next meso.

Fatigue & Recovery:
Body feels fresher compared to Monday, with noticeable improvements in energy by week’s end. Deload timing lined up perfectly to handle both training fatigue and life stress.

Readiness for Next Meso:
Mentally motivated and ready for heavier weights. Physically improved, with another 10-20% recovery hopefully to come from the weekend before starting the next block.

Key Positives:
Gear remains excellent quality- no irritation or PIP despite EOD injections. Appetite steady, digestion strong, no diet fatigue. Nutrition execution stayed consistent despite external distractions.

Overall:
The deload fell at the right time. Body feels reset, energy and sleep are trending upward, and I’m in a strong position to kick off the next mesocycle.

Pushed harder than programmed at times, using the gym as an outlet during an intense week on the personal front. Volume and intensity were reduced overall, but not as much as intended. Recovery impact will become clear in the next meso.

Fatigue & Recovery:
Body feels fresher compared to Monday, with noticeable improvements in energy by week’s end. Deload timing lined up perfectly to handle both training fatigue and life stress.

Readiness for Next Meso:
Mentally motivated and ready for heavier weights. Physically improved, with another 10-20% recovery hopefully to come from the weekend before starting the next block.

Key Positives:
Gear remains excellent quality- no irritation or PIP despite EOD injections. Appetite steady, digestion strong, no diet fatigue. Nutrition execution stayed consistent despite external distractions.

Overall:
The deload fell at the right time. Body feels reset, energy and sleep are trending upward, and I’m in a strong position to kick off the next mesocycle.

Good deload week, looking forward to see you blast it out again @hypogaeum
I see that butter chicken dinner NICE! tastes good?

Love me some chicken and rice in a nice sauce
Last night I had pilaf rice and grilled chicken with lemon squeezed over the top (bit of a Greek inspired meal)- eating good doesn't have to be boring!

I've never tried that brand it's an AU thing I bet, but looks really delicious when I checked other logs and online
@hypogaeum meal prep is #1 for me.

Session:
Week 8, Friday - Chest, Back, Shoulders & Abs (Deload)
Final deload session this morning. Energy was high despite no preworkout food, likely thanks to the new high-stim pre and a really solid night of sleep.

@huypogaeum ah no cardio but getting 10k steps in is still great. Love to see it

RP Hypertrophy. It's not cheap, but I got gifted it for my birthday, and have really liked it!

Session:
Week 9, Monday - Chest, Back, Arms (Upper)
First session of the new meso and it felt great to push harder again. Pump came on quickly despite training fasted, which was a good sign. Elbow seems to have recovered well after the slower week, with no discomfort during today's session as weights climbed. Good overall balance between pressing, rowing, and arm work.

Cardio:
30-minute walk at lunch, heart rate averaged 108 bpm.

Nutrition & Supps:
Meals attached. Will reintroduce carb powder for morning sessions to keep performance on point. Appetite steady and digestion good, however, the cookies and cream protein powder was a struggle today- bit too sweet and was rather silly trying to force it down. Will avoid it for a bit before trying again.

Recovery:
6 hours 30 minutes of sleep last night. Picked up CPAP today and starting the trial period- will see what improvements this provides moving forward.

Current PEDs:
175mg Test, 60mg EQ, 60mg NPP EOD, plus 5IU GH daily.

Current Health Supplements:
Remain unchanged.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
No negative sides. Test increase already showing some benefits- libido higher and knees feeling smoother.

Adjustments Made:
Programming adjusted slightly with access to a wider range of equipment at another gym. Plan is to rotate between a few locations to maximise progression.

Progress Updates:
No weigh-in this morning, though my expectation is that weight would be up a fair amount after a higher food weekend.

General Comments:
Strong start to the new meso. Training felt productive, recovery signs are positive, and we’re about halfway through this blast with everything in a good place. Looking forward to building on today and keeping momentum moving forward.

Impressive, it looks like you stick to the same diet plan day in out mostly. @hypogaeum

any pics of the CPAP? what machine you got?

Generally! I don't get bored with it, so provided digestion isn't needing a change, I stick to the plan.

any pics of the CPAP? what machine you got?

I don't have a photo of the unit, but it's a Resmed one. Of course they convince you to trial the top of the line one Got 3 hours with the mask on last night- apparently this isn't too bad for a first time (mask takes getting used to), but will stick at it. Interesting to see that my watch logged last night as a really good sleep (even though I was up a few times taking the mask off/ putting the mask on). I don't put too much stock in the sleep scores that my watch gives, but I did find it intriguing.

Session:
Week 9, Tuesday - Hamstrings & Quads
Another good morning session. Preworkout combined with 50mg Viagra gave a strong pump, especially useful when training fasted- thinking this may become a staple for morning workouts. Program is easing me back into things, but I pushed a bit harder where it felt right, making sure contractions were locked in properly rather than just moving the weight. No knee pain today, even without sleeves, which is encouraging.

Cardio:
15 minutes on the exercise bike post-session at a steady pace, followed by a 20-minute walk after lunch.

Nutrition & Supps:
Meals attached, dinner still to be added but will mirror previous days. Digestion and appetite in a good place.

Recovery:
7 hours 11 minutes sleep. CPAP trial started, with the first night last night- sleep was a little disturbed (apparently it takes a little time to get used to the machine), but still woke feeling well rested. Plan is to give it a proper run this week to see if it’s something I’ll adopt long-term.

Current PEDs:
Unchanged (175mg Test, 60mg EQ, 60mg NPP EOD and 5IU GH daily).

Current Health Supplements:
Remain unchanged.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
No negative sides noted. Viagra in the preworkout stack proving effective and will likely be kept in.

Adjustments Made:
Introduction of Viagra preworkout.

Progress Updates:
No weigh-in today.

General Comments:
Feeling good and enjoying getting back into the rhythm of harder training. Looking forward to shoulders, chest, and triceps tomorrow morning.
