Approved Log Body Recomp Cycle Journal with UGL OZ

[zarathustra]

Hi all,

Been inspired by the great support I got from the UGLOZ team to log their gear.

Excuse the crappy pics, not in my permanent address yet.

History: I’m 45, been blast / cruise for the last 15 years or so. Prefer to run lower dose cycles just for sides and I seem to respond just as well.
Last 6 weeks before I left just crusing on 150mg Test E and then latest 2 weeks no gear at all – travelling and sourcing gear etc. So pics are not the best lighting, occasional workouts as travelling and I guess as off cycle as I’ve been for decades.

Goal is to hit 12% for full 6 pack and then assess, adjust and maybe hit 10% and hint of 8 pack down the track if things go amazingly well.

Cycle plan: run @Tren 240, test e 225 with anavar weeks 1-4@40mg. UGLOZ Platinum Test & Tren, the anavar is a mix of old stuff from SE Asia/ an old supplier- good stuff but I’ve had it for years so using it first. May finish with another month avar as well at the end (which would be Sparta). If Tren sweats get too bad I’ll drop down to 200 tren, 185 test.

Cycle purpose: recomp. I’d like to stay roughly this size but more muscle less fat. At this stage of life I prefer to stay just on the believable side of natty or not by most normy estimates for both aesthetic and professional reasons.

BF estimate- 14%, still have abs unflexed but definitely not shredded. Barely any difference between my flexed and unflexed ab pics so suggests I've got a tiny bit to shed. I’m mid 40s, first kid, been travelling a lot so still fit but not near peak but I want to try and get close to that shredded again I’m still relatively young enough to do it. (although not as bulky as I was at younger age)

Supports: Asin, caber and raloxifene on hand. Plan to take 12.5mg asin and .5mg caber pw starting week 2. Will be taking ZMA, TUDCA and B6.

Workout plans: balancing work, a toddler and my wife also having a demanding career I try to get 5x workouts a week these days and walk or play social sport as I can fit. Often my workouts are just a 30 min blast because that’s just all it’s fair to fit in our schedule and I genuinely find I can max that time out and get good results.

HIIT 2x a week: one full body exercises session, doubles as 2nd workout of the week for most muscle groups. One boxing or leg based (subbing in as leg workout that week).

General cardio 1x a week: 20-30 mins elliptical, boxing based or japanese style walking with inclines.

Weights sessions 2x a week 30-40 mins. No mucking around, 1 min between sets can actually get a lot done. Not a huge believer in needing big volume. I find high reps goes very well for me.

I’ll fit a 3rd weights session or some sprints in if I can but life usually gets in the way.

My diet is generally good- as in we cook at home a lot so don’t eat a lot of processed stuff. But I also have a beer or wine on the weekend and am not weighing anything or cutting out carbs at this stage of my life.

Breakfast is often just a coffee so I find it easy to do 2 days a week where I don’t really eat until 3-4pm, then I just make sure that first meal is healthy which feels me up and can then find I just enjoy the evening meals to the full and still only be 1500/1750 cals for the day.

The weak points in my diet that I need to change first are;
That habit of the toddler didn’t eat all their food so of course I hoover it up with my mouth rather than throw it out.

A bad habit of liquid calories like having 2 fruit juices or a can of coke most days- that's easy enough to reduce. I’ll try reduction first to 1 watered down juice or a mini can of coke and see how that goes.

3-4 times a week I eat a snickers or a small bag of chips. I could probably cut that in half and not feel deprived.

Here we go!

Will add how I go with diet etc as I go.

First pin Friday 28/8
120mg Platinum Tren E, 110mg Platinum Test E. Pinned medial glute, smooth as fark not a trace of pip today (Sat). Didn't even hit my scar tissue

Friday workout: shoulders 3 sets lateral raise - triple drop sets from 12.5 kg/10kg/8kg for the first two, final set 10kg/8kg/6kg. So fairly high reps just to burn them out. I lose form and just feel traps working if I go too heavy.

Incline seats were taken and didn't have time to wait so for front delts, 3 sets Bear crawls forwards and backward, superset into yoga push up (only thing I've found that hits my serratus really well too. If I reach my goal bf% they\ll be ready to pop)

3 sets TRX rows superset rear delt flys, rows 15 or so reps, flies about the same

Then had a little time left so 3 sets standing calf raise about 20 reps total each set, drop sets 85/75kg, 75/65kg, 65/55kg.

Diet was 2 flat white coffees
1 Chicken and salad sandwich, 1 slice of bread with peanutbutter
Dinner went out to fancy Japanese place so some sushi, nigiri, some wagyu slices, venison tartare thing in a lettuce leaf and shared little bit of ice cream to finish, less than 1 scoop. All in all, high protein, minimal carbs.

Today I'm going to the rugby league (mad Canberra Raiders fan) so will probably be a couple of beers and chicken Schnitty today. Going with some mates I haven't seen in over a year so just gonna enjoy myself a bit without letting it be a real blow out. If the boys wanna kick on I'll switch to whisky and waters or something just to avoid all the beer calories (I really enjoy two beers, just bloaty after that).

bro you look good. how much red meat you getting? i need it @zarathustra

 

[LevButlerov]

None of the above. Try meet all that through healthy diet.

You wont get all digestive aids from food, impossible these days.
Probiotics help balance bacteria which can improve immunity and overall digestion even if you’re already regular. Digestive enzymes make it easier for your body to break down and utilize proteins, fats, and carbs so you get more out of your meals. Psyllium isn’t just for fixing problems either, it helps regulate blood sugar, cholesterol, and keeps digestion smooth when food volume or macros change. Think of them as performance tools for the gut, not just fixes for when something’s broken. @zarathustra

Super Powerful Sparta and Platinum Labs touchdown! hot and sexy from @UGL OZ the GoAt!

First pin Friday 28/8
120mg Platinum Tren E, 110mg Platinum Test E. Pinned medial glute, smooth as fark not a trace of pip today (Sat). Didn't even hit my scar tissue

low pip is high quality UGL OZ gear!

Friday workout: shoulders 3 sets lateral raise - triple drop sets from 12.5 kg/10kg/8kg for the first two, final set 10kg/8kg/6kg. So fairly high reps just to burn them out. I lose form and just feel traps working if I go too heavy.

3 sets TRX rows superset rear delt flys, rows 15 or so reps, flies about the same

Then had a little time left so 3 sets standing calf raise about 20 reps total each set, drop sets 85/75kg, 75/65kg, 65/55kg.

Good session overall. You kept the raises lighter which is smart so the traps don’t take over and the delts actually get the work. Nice adjustment on the front delts with the bear crawl superset, that’s a creative way to still hit them and get the serratus firing. Rear delt work with TRX rows and flies balances out the front work so the shoulders stay healthy. Calves at the end with those drop sets was a solid finisher, that’s the kind of extra volume that pays off later with big calves

Diet was 2 flat white coffees
1 Chicken and salad sandwich, 1 slice of bread with peanutbutter
Dinner went out to fancy Japanese place so some sushi, nigiri, some wagyu slices, venison tartare thing in a lettuce leaf and shared little bit of ice cream to finish, less than 1 scoop. All in all, high protein, minimal carbs.

Not sure level of protein here, do you use an app to keep track on regular days? and do you meal prep?

Today I'm going to the rugby league (mad Canberra Raiders fan) so will probably be a couple of beers and chicken Schnitty today. Going with some mates I haven't seen in over a year so just gonna enjoy myself a bit without letting it be a real blow out. If the boys wanna kick on I'll switch to whisky and waters or something just to avoid all the beer calories (I really enjoy two beers, just bloaty after that).

I highly suggest not drinking any alcohol when using steroids. Especially you're using trenbolone! tren + alcohol is a very bad combo for your liver kidneys and organs.

 

[Mobster]

15 years of B&C can't be good surely

 

[zarathustra]

bro you look good. how much red meat you getting? i need it @zarathustra

I guess red meat 3 times a week. Might be a small steak once a week, mince once a week and maybe a 3rd red meat leftovers time some weeks.

I love lamb but we we were not living in a place that ate lamb really.

It'd be pork or chicken 3 or 4 times a week and fish 2-3 a week around that if we are including lunches

I honestly don't give much thought to red meat at all. Just try to get some oily fish for omegas often enough.

 

[zarathustra]

15 years of B&C can't be good surely

I pass mandated health checks to be posted and work overseas regularly enough. BP, bloods for organ functions, even dentistry etc.

My cruise is generally TRT level and I'm clearly not "blasting" to IFBB levels. More just use that term to when I go above TRT levels. Each to their own.

Hi all,

Been inspired by the great support I got from the UGLOZ team to log their gear.

Excuse the crappy pics, not in my permanent address yet.

History: I’m 45, been blast / cruise for the last 15 years or so. Prefer to run lower dose cycles just for sides and I seem to respond just as well.
Last 6 weeks before I left just crusing on 150mg Test E and then latest 2 weeks no gear at all – travelling and sourcing gear etc. So pics are not the best lighting, occasional workouts as travelling and I guess as off cycle as I’ve been for decades.

Goal is to hit 12% for full 6 pack and then assess, adjust and maybe hit 10% and hint of 8 pack down the track if things go amazingly well.

Cycle plan: run @Tren 240, test e 225 with anavar weeks 1-4@40mg. UGLOZ Platinum Test & Tren, the anavar is a mix of old stuff from SE Asia/ an old supplier- good stuff but I’ve had it for years so using it first. May finish with another month avar as well at the end (which would be Sparta). If Tren sweats get too bad I’ll drop down to 200 tren, 185 test.

Cycle purpose: recomp. I’d like to stay roughly this size but more muscle less fat. At this stage of life I prefer to stay just on the believable side of natty or not by most normy estimates for both aesthetic and professional reasons.

BF estimate- 14%, still have abs unflexed but definitely not shredded. Barely any difference between my flexed and unflexed ab pics so suggests I've got a tiny bit to shed. I’m mid 40s, first kid, been travelling a lot so still fit but not near peak but I want to try and get close to that shredded again I’m still relatively young enough to do it. (although not as bulky as I was at younger age)

Supports: Asin, caber and raloxifene on hand. Plan to take 12.5mg asin and .5mg caber pw starting week 2. Will be taking ZMA, TUDCA and B6.

Workout plans: balancing work, a toddler and my wife also having a demanding career I try to get 5x workouts a week these days and walk or play social sport as I can fit. Often my workouts are just a 30 min blast because that’s just all it’s fair to fit in our schedule and I genuinely find I can max that time out and get good results.

HIIT 2x a week: one full body exercises session, doubles as 2nd workout of the week for most muscle groups. One boxing or leg based (subbing in as leg workout that week).

General cardio 1x a week: 20-30 mins elliptical, boxing based or japanese style walking with inclines.

Weights sessions 2x a week 30-40 mins. No mucking around, 1 min between sets can actually get a lot done. Not a huge believer in needing big volume. I find high reps goes very well for me.

I’ll fit a 3rd weights session or some sprints in if I can but life usually gets in the way.

My diet is generally good- as in we cook at home a lot so don’t eat a lot of processed stuff. But I also have a beer or wine on the weekend and am not weighing anything or cutting out carbs at this stage of my life.

Breakfast is often just a coffee so I find it easy to do 2 days a week where I don’t really eat until 3-4pm, then I just make sure that first meal is healthy which feels me up and can then find I just enjoy the evening meals to the full and still only be 1500/1750 cals for the day.

The weak points in my diet that I need to change first are;
That habit of the toddler didn’t eat all their food so of course I hoover it up with my mouth rather than throw it out.

A bad habit of liquid calories like having 2 fruit juices or a can of coke most days- that's easy enough to reduce. I’ll try reduction first to 1 watered down juice or a mini can of coke and see how that goes.

3-4 times a week I eat a snickers or a small bag of chips. I could probably cut that in half and not feel deprived.

Here we go!

i think your body fat is lower then 14%. but if you lose another 1-2% WOULD make a huge difference. @zarathustra so keep it up!

 

[zarathustra]

You wont get all digestive aids from food, impossible these days.
Probiotics help balance bacteria which can improve immunity and overall digestion even if you’re already regular. Digestive enzymes make it easier for your body to break down and utilize proteins, fats, and carbs so you get more out of your meals. Psyllium isn’t just for fixing problems either, it helps regulate blood sugar, cholesterol, and keeps digestion smooth when food volume or macros change. Think of them as performance tools for the gut, not just fixes for when something’s broken. @zarathustra

Super Powerful Sparta and Platinum Labs touchdown! hot and sexy from @UGL OZ the GoAt!

low pip is high quality UGL OZ gear!

Good session overall. You kept the raises lighter which is smart so the traps don’t take over and the delts actually get the work. Nice adjustment on the front delts with the bear crawl superset, that’s a creative way to still hit them and get the serratus firing. Rear delt work with TRX rows and flies balances out the front work so the shoulders stay healthy. Calves at the end with those drop sets was a solid finisher, that’s the kind of extra volume that pays off later with big calves

Not sure level of protein here, do you use an app to keep track on regular days? and do you meal prep?

I highly suggest not drinking any alcohol when using steroids. Especially you're using trenbolone! tren + alcohol is a very bad combo for your liver kidneys and organs.

Kinda always had big calves. Always lived at the top of hill and hated walking up slow so always ran or rode up them which grew them. plus calves SOO dependent on insertion points and I got lucky with low ones, from a size point of view which makes them look big or easier to grow.

No tracking macros at this stage. I did it for a decade, I have a decent eyeball or instinct for it after all that. Not where I'm spending my mental energy right now honestly. And I don't obsess about macros these days. That may or may not be the current trend in fairly dynamic field of performance science and whether or not I am the person who needs another 3% edge on macro ingestion.

Meal prep- yes in a normal week I'd have lunches meal prepped. I'm in between things right now so not prepping as much. In a normal week I'd have lunch prepped 3 or 4 days a week, not eat lunch 2 days a week and be eating socially once a week, give or take a day or two here or there from each category.

Yeah drinking isn't a great combo but I'm being realistic here. I'm Australian. I've been living overseas for a lot more years than I've been home in the last decade and if I get to see my friends at a football game where my team is doing well for the first time in decades... imma have a drink. Anyhow we never reached the whisky stage!

 

[zarathustra]

i think your body fat is lower then 14%. but if you lose another 1-2% WOULD make a huge difference. @zarathustra so keep it up!

Maybe, I kinda have love handles and stuff and maybe I'd be 13% but I also think a lot of people give way under estimates. I mean I know at 10-11 my shoulders are striated and I get cleaner abs etc- certain pants and shorts I've had for years fit better etc so it's a decent rough estimate.

I have an expensive set of biometric scales tucked away where I got all my baselines for years but I've kind of put that level of obsession away in the past. I'll just use the mirror and guestimate mostly.

Hi all,

Been inspired by the great support I got from the UGLOZ team to log their gear.

Excuse the crappy pics, not in my permanent address yet.

History: I’m 45, been blast / cruise for the last 15 years or so. Prefer to run lower dose cycles just for sides and I seem to respond just as well.
Last 6 weeks before I left just crusing on 150mg Test E and then latest 2 weeks no gear at all – travelling and sourcing gear etc. So pics are not the best lighting, occasional workouts as travelling and I guess as off cycle as I’ve been for decades.

Goal is to hit 12% for full 6 pack and then assess, adjust and maybe hit 10% and hint of 8 pack down the track if things go amazingly well.

Cycle plan: run @Tren 240, test e 225 with anavar weeks 1-4@40mg. UGLOZ Platinum Test & Tren, the anavar is a mix of old stuff from SE Asia/ an old supplier- good stuff but I’ve had it for years so using it first. May finish with another month avar as well at the end (which would be Sparta). If Tren sweats get too bad I’ll drop down to 200 tren, 185 test.

Cycle purpose: recomp. I’d like to stay roughly this size but more muscle less fat. At this stage of life I prefer to stay just on the believable side of natty or not by most normy estimates for both aesthetic and professional reasons.

BF estimate- 14%, still have abs unflexed but definitely not shredded. Barely any difference between my flexed and unflexed ab pics so suggests I've got a tiny bit to shed. I’m mid 40s, first kid, been travelling a lot so still fit but not near peak but I want to try and get close to that shredded again I’m still relatively young enough to do it. (although not as bulky as I was at younger age)

Supports: Asin, caber and raloxifene on hand. Plan to take 12.5mg asin and .5mg caber pw starting week 2. Will be taking ZMA, TUDCA and B6.

Workout plans: balancing work, a toddler and my wife also having a demanding career I try to get 5x workouts a week these days and walk or play social sport as I can fit. Often my workouts are just a 30 min blast because that’s just all it’s fair to fit in our schedule and I genuinely find I can max that time out and get good results.

HIIT 2x a week: one full body exercises session, doubles as 2nd workout of the week for most muscle groups. One boxing or leg based (subbing in as leg workout that week).

General cardio 1x a week: 20-30 mins elliptical, boxing based or japanese style walking with inclines.

bros try sucking in stomach when you take pics. i bet you would get nicer pose. and shave up a bit too. you got better physique then you think @zarathustra

 

[zarathustra]

wow you been blasting and cruising a long time. what made you decide to do it at 30 years old? that is super young @zarathustra

Didn't like the whole coming off, going on process I guess. There were probably periods I came off for 3-4 months in the first couple of years quoted in the time frame there but really I was generally back on again soon.

And one other period of 6 months or so where we conceived. But I'm giving a rough overview there in my initial posts not my life story. We were in a position where we could also freeze embryos had that failed and did so anyway because we wanted flexibility or a fallback as careers became more demanding and time marched on.

When I was young sure it was en ego thing to try and be something more than human or enjoy all the sideshows that life could offer. But yeah you can do all that in a year or three. I just decided I liked being on and I'd be TRT for life (self admined or diagnosed whatever it may be) rather than go through the whole pct thing however many times a year or two.

No one blinks an eye at a woman using hormones to control their biology via extragenous hormones such as the pill or HRT or etc even for off label effects (known plenty of women who went on the pill for boob growth and acne control). I just don't see why men should be any different so I made the decision I was comfortable staying on.

I'd absolutely say consider your life first. If you have a partner- time things to make a family if that is your goal. If you can't afford embryo freezing and related procedures then think 3 times.

I'm not advocating my life choices for anybody. Just at peace and willing to talk through the pros and cons of mine, especially if it helps anyone else.

 

[zarathustra]

Yeah I could probably pose better, I just can't be assed taking 15 selfies to try and get the best one when I know I am slightly sloppy anyway.

I'm kinda trying for authenticity here.

Trust me I was vain enough at 30 to get some epic ones when I was shredded with my best angles and knowing I had nice lighting and all that.

welcome to the EVO family @zarathustra You seem like an awesome dude, for sure. You look fantastic with and without a shirt, I'm looking forward to follow your log.

 

[LevButlerov]

No tracking macros at this stage. I did it for a decade, I have a decent eyeball or instinct for it after all that. Not where I'm spending my mental energy right now honestly. And I don't obsess about macros these days. That may or may not be the current trend in fairly dynamic field of performance science and whether or not I am the person who needs another 3% edge on macro ingestion.

In a normal week I'd have lunch prepped 3 or 4 days a week, not eat lunch 2 days a week and be eating socially once a week, give or take a day or two here or there from each category.

Lets start easy post some pics of your meals as you go would help

Yeah drinking isn't a great combo but I'm being realistic here. I'm Australian. I've been living overseas for a lot more years than I've been home in the last decade and if I get to see my friends at a football game where my team is doing well for the first time in decades... imma have a drink. Anyhow we never reached the whisky stage!

You can have alcohol free beer come on @zarathustra
With trenbolone you should NOT drink, its like death to your organs.

 

[BodyMonster34]

I guess red meat 3 times a week. Might be a small steak once a week, mince once a week and maybe a 3rd red meat leftovers time some weeks.

I love lamb but we we were not living in a place that ate lamb really.

It'd be pork or chicken 3 or 4 times a week and fish 2-3 a week around that if we are including lunches

I honestly don't give much thought to red meat at all. Just try to get some oily fish for omegas often enough.

bro to be a real man i believe you need red meat every meal

 

[zarathustra]

Lets start easy post some pics of your meals as you go would help

I might try to get some when I'm back to a normal schedule.

 

[zarathustra]

bro to be a real man i believe you need red meat every meal

I may be some sort of over civilised girly man who loves pho ga, banh mi and even eats quiche.

 

[zarathustra]

Sunday workout: cardio, eliptical. 30 mins. heart rate 70-80%

Diet: flat white coffee (half a sugar). half a slice of random leftover toddler toast- still got the habit

3 lamb cutlets. 1 lamb chop. 1 serve potato bake. Salad no dressing. Coleslaw roughly half a cup, light dressing. Assorted fruit- roughly half a cup. 1 fruit juice.

Total estimate: 2000-2200 cals for the day. Almost all at dinner.

 

[2Thick]

Maybe, I kinda have love handles and stuff and maybe I'd be 13% but I also think a lot of people give way under estimates. I mean I know at 10-11 my shoulders are striated and I get cleaner abs etc- certain pants and shorts I've had for years fit better etc so it's a decent rough estimate.

I have an expensive set of biometric scales tucked away where I got all my baselines for years but I've kind of put that level of obsession away in the past. I'll just use the mirror and guestimate mostly.

yeah you are gonna get diced from here

Yeah I could probably pose better, I just can't be assed taking 15 selfies to try and get the best one when I know I am slightly sloppy anyway.

yes and people have to remember things change in life. when i was 30 i was happily married with a family. now? its a different story

 

[zarathustra]

I honestly can't figure out if people think it is important that I suck my gut in and pose in perfect bb ways... It's kind of again, posing better isn't a high priority. I'm not trying to post a thirst trap. I'm not entering comps.

When all I need to do for my log is pose reasonably consistently and see what the changes are over weeks...

I'm still a week or so from being back at my permanent residence so any pics will have a whole new lighting etc again.

The feedback is all very interesting, much appreciated. So many ways to come at this hobby.

I'm just being cheeky with you bro.

That was a Sunday family meal. I don't know where you live but in Oz we have heaps of sheep and the lamb is top notch. So since I'm back in Oz for a little bit we just had a big family get together and a meal of lamb. A more typical meal would have veg (broccoli, peas, green beans, carrot, whatever) instead of coleslaw. And probably half that amount of meat. Normal oven roasted potatoes instead of cheesy potato bake.

It would be common enough for me just to have a coffee or two during the day (if you're US based- a flat white would be two shots of italian style espresso/ristretto and 7 ounces of milk) and then a main dinner meal some days.

Monday 1/9
Pin 2 120mg Platinum Tren E,, 115mg Platinum Test E. Still 40mg anavar split morning and evening.

Just for you Lev, here's todays lunch. Brown rice sushi, 2x prawn and avo, 2x salmon and avo. Approx 350 cals, 25g protein. Honestly there's a reason they make it with sushi rice, brown rice not as good. Worth a try though.

Breakfast was a flat white.

Looks nice very clean rolls, thanks for sharing

Workout Monday 1/9

HIIT Full body.
Probably one of my favourite workouts, it hurts but it's over quick! I go for 8 rounds of intense exercise, with a minute rest in between. If I don't hit 1 minute for my intense part, I cut the rest to 45 seconds.

Round 1: Sprints 40 seconds. Rest 45 secs.
Round 2,3, 5: Pull up/chin ups superset clap push ups into normal push ups, 60 secs. Basically I cycle through wide grip pulls, close grip pulls or chin ups - switching to the easier type as I burn out. Same with regular push ups after I burn out on clap push ups. On round 4 I'm usually throwing in a few burpees to fill out the minute.
Round 5: skipping 60 seconds, weighted handle skipping rope. Throw in some high bounces to make it harder and get the calves burning.
Round 6: sprints 30 secs. Rest 45 secs.
Round 7: Bear crawls & split jumps 60 secs
Round 8: Bear crawls and split jumps 45 secs

Whole thing is done in about 15 mins. Catch my breath and stretch for a couple of minutes.

Then did 3 sets upper chest cable flies. 3 sets of bodyweight dips to fail- I throw 3 bottom third partials and 3 top third partials into each set. Something about the constant tension on those means I don't end up needing to do 30 reps and fail out at maybe 17, 13, 10 after all the push up work too. 30 mins good work and outta there.

Ps. Sushi lunch was 700 cals, 350 for each pair of rolls.

No dinner was very boring. Home alone so just had bowl of veggies, 180g leftover bbq chicken, put part of it in a sandwich with 20g cheddar and salad. Roughly 60g protein, calorie guestimate 750 cals.

bro lol what that?

Spoiler alert:


That's Luke Skywalker surrounded by tauntaun meat (and offal!) after Han Solo slices open a Tauntaun so he can dive inside there and not freeze to death on the planet Hoth. What you think The Revenant thought of that first?

There's a reason the 3 real Star Wars movies are epics bro.

Well it's the toy version my brother and I had anyway. Cool as fark.

Log update:
Lets see since last update

Workouts: 30 mins cardio japanese walking
Legs: 2 sets 20 reps squats, 80kg. Yeah lightweight, I don't squat frequently enough to fully trust my technique anymore so just light weight, high rep.
2 sets lying hamstring curl, 8-10 reps 54 & 47kg. 3x drop sets standing calf raise @95/85, 85/75, 75.65kg just reps until fail each drop, average 15-12 reps I guess. Plenty of time spent on mobility/stretching before and after.

Then got up at 4am to begin 20 odd hour journey including 16 hours in the air from my city in Oz to South America where I currently live.


*Yes, since the particular latin american nation I currently live in is over regulated and has an absurdly priced pharma system - I find it easier/better/more desireable to get my gear in Oz and travel than run try to jump through a bunch of medical and insurance hoops travelling to get rescripted in secondary nations (made deliberately difficult due to pharma lobby in this particular nation) or deal with local UG suppliers with a big gringo target on my forehead operating in 2nd and 3rd languages while I do it. The paradise was when I lived in SE Asia, easy, good and cheap.

Diet not worth mentioning with farewell dinners, airports and airline food.

Couple of shots from just before I left. 1 week in so as expected not much change. Maybe shows shoulders started to pop/ separate a bit more from the anavar if anything. Too early for the Tren effects just yet. Possible slightest improvement in flexed shot with a hint of serratus just from some better attention to diet.

Anyway survived the flights and ready to really get stuck in over the next week or two.

You look really good, lean and good abs @zarathustra the legs you get a good pump
Wait, you're saying its harder to get gear in south America than in Australia? I think you dont know the right people

 

[zarathustra]

I'm not saying it's harder. In some countries I'm sure it's easy. And I definitely don't know the right people.

In some particular South American countries, it's harder than you think to find good gear at decent prices. I happen to live in one of those particular countries. There's gear to be had here, but the pharma price is so high it sets the floor on the other places I have found much higher too. And I don't know if I trust it yet. I'll try some if I need to.

My other options are trying my luck in Brazil, where I speak none of the local language, which has changed it's regulations so I'd need to bribe or go the blood test route or seek out blackmarket stuff in a city which has a famously high crime rate beyond the pretty beaches - or flying six hours to Colombia where ripping gringos is a national pastime. There's good gear there but also awash with fakes set up to scam tourists. Kinda like Mexico. By the time I reach that point and I'd already be on a flight just to try and navigate my way to some real gear...

It makes more sense to stock up when I return home for whatever reason where it's easier to assess what is legit and what isn't (my spanish is kinda just passable for day to day but nowhere near fluent) & bring it back with me.

Latin America is the only place I've ever been sold bunk gear. Years in SE Asia, never once. Years in Oz, never once. Europe, never once.

interesting point. I always thought it was easy to get gear in south America tbh

 

[zarathustra]

If I lived in Brazil and had some time to negotiate the system or made some genuine friends and learned some Portuguese, it would be easy and cheap. But I'm only on vacation time there occasionally. Not enough time to walk those walks. The major change they made was recently making it illegal for doctors to prescribe steroids solely for aesthetic reasons (like chicks can choose botox or boobs)- and they are following through on checking up on the prescriptions/sales often enough to make it more difficult than the Thailand style free for all it used to be.

My country here prides itself on being the latin american country which is NOT like the others- more organised, more regulated, less violent crime, kinda more stable, tries to match OECD countries regulations etc. But really it just makes it an expensive pain in the ass that isn't as fun. Anyway this is where I have to be right now.

I'm sure if you asked a more fluent spanish speaker they'd say it was easy. Or if you did a survey 8 guys would say easy and 2 guys would have got rorted.

Log update 8/9 2025.

Little bit of diet update now that I'm "home".

Typical/most common lunch
3x Tortillas 235cals 6g protein
20 g Cheese 100cals 5g protein
2 eggs 150 cal 15 g protein / some days tuna instead 100 cals 15g protein + avocado into the veggies for roughly the same total cals but some more good fats
Lettuce, cucumber, tomato: lunch total 450/500 cals 25g protein

Dinner
Stir Fry
115g steak 30g protein 290 cals
1.3 cups white rice 265 cals 5g protein
Veggies
Sauce 100 cals (bit of a guess, no idea what wifey puts in it but it is delicious)
Dinner total: 650 cals 35-40g protein
An alternative dinner might be pan seared . salmon, 2 baked potatoes, corn, broccoli, other veg, just lemon for sauce. Maybe 850 cals 45-50g protein

Extras
Small flat white 100 cals 5g protein x2 for 200 cals 10g protein
Kids food, leftovers cookies etc, 200 cals protein 5g? Bit of a guess again.

Supper 25g peanutbutter + celery, half tub high protein yogurt total 250 cals 15g protein
Some days I’d sub in a handful of nuts instead of the pb and celery.

Daily total: 1800 cals, 90g protein. If dinner was bigger there might be one less coffee or no supper to keep it roughly in line on these days. So slightly hungry most of the day but fine at/after dinner.

So that would be a typical low calorie day with prepped lunch. Probably 3 days a week like that. There’d be 2 more days with similar starts but a bigger dinner or pre bed snack and they’d be more like 2200-2500 cals. Still just below maintenance.

Weekend days there might be more social eating or ice cream with kiddo or a beer/ wine on the weekend and I’d guess they’d be close to maintenance 2600-2700 cals. If over then not by much since I’d usually just have coffee in the morning and one light/healthy meal around whatever the “just enjoy it” one was.

I’ve managed to basically cut out the juices and coca cola easy enough already. So I'll see how this goes results wise for another week or so to see if we get much improvement and then adjust as needed.

Workout Monday 8/9 Cardio: boxing based 20 mins mixed boxing, burpees, stairs, skipping. Much more fun than just running or elipitical. Nice little outdoor active area at my gym with this set up.
Also some single leg calf raises. 2x drop sets each leg. 20kg/bw about 15 reps each drop. Just ties in with the pre exhaust from skipping well.

peanut butter and celery I would want to see you bump all this food up, get some more protein and more carbs with fats in the game, really you can up your food about 40%.

@zarathustra very nice meal you put together there. that steak and rice stir meal sounds good man. just be careful on those sauces

 

[Mobster]

90g protein is barely maintenance level

 

[zarathustra]

Good feedback everyone, thanks. I'm just seeing how i go and adjust as needed.

Yeah protein is lower on those low cal days. But remember there's 4 other days in a week. Overall the average is higher.

I'm perhaps not as sold on the need for ultra high protein diets. There's data out there supporting lower protein approaches (.55/.6ish g per lb which is where I'd be averaged over a week) .

I'm roughly 180lb maybe a couple higher now and 175 or so shredded, maybe a couple lb lower if I got sub 10%.

Oh on the pb & celery with the yogurt at night- just looking for something to digest slowly and stop any blood sugar crashes at night to avoid those tren sweats. The carbier I eat later in the day the worse the sweats imo.

Kids food, leftovers cookies etc, 200 cals protein 5g? Bit of a guess again.

Supper 25g peanutbutter + celery, half tub high protein yogurt total 250 cals 15g protein
Some days I’d sub in a handful of nuts instead of the pb and celery.

Daily total: 1800 cals, 90g protein. If dinner was bigger there might be one less coffee or no supper to keep it roughly in line on these days. So slightly hungry most of the day but fine at/after dinner.

So that would be a typical low calorie day with prepped lunch. Probably 3 days a week like that. There’d be 2 more days with similar starts but a bigger dinner or pre bed snack and they’d be more like 2200-2500 cals. Still just below maintenance.

Weekend days there might be more social eating or ice cream with kiddo or a beer/ wine on the weekend and I’d guess they’d be close to maintenance 2600-2700 cals. If over then not by much since I’d usually just have coffee in the morning and one light/healthy meal around whatever the “just enjoy it” one was.

I’ve managed to basically cut out the juices and coca cola easy enough already. So I'll see how this goes results wise for another week or so to see if we get much improvement and then adjust as needed.

Workout Monday 8/9 Cardio: boxing based 20 mins mixed boxing, burpees, stairs, skipping. Much more fun than just running or elipitical. Nice little outdoor active area at my gym with this set up.
Also some single leg calf raises. 2x drop sets each leg. 20kg/bw about 15 reps each drop. Just ties in with the pre exhaust from skipping well.

@zarathustra bro pump the steak for sure. hell yeah. need to eat red meat every meal to make the man

Not recorded in the log since it was my "relaxed day" but Sunday was Australian Fathers Day so I did go out to a great argentinian style steakhouse for some primo steak. Delicious.

9/9 workout
Had slightly more time today so Back/Chest/shoulders

5 mins chin ups, many as I can in 5 mins flat. I hit 50 today when last time was 43- I’d say the var or tren or both are kicking. First set was 20 straight.

2 sets High cable chest flies superset upper pec high flies 15kg, 10kg (not sure the actual name of the 2nd exercise, after a set of usual high cable chest flies for chest, drop weight down stand up tall and just use upper/inner pec to contract chest while arms stay high). I don’t count reps so much with either of these, I mix in wide or contracted partials and using the tension provided as much as I can to work different parts in between some full reps.

3 sets 1 arm row 26kg, 12, 10 reps final

3 sets db lateral raise, 10kg sets 1 & 2, 8kg set 3. Rest pause style. 21 reps, 17 reps, 15 reps.

3 sets Incline db press 28kg set 1 & 30kg set 2 & 3. 12, 9, 6 reps

3 sets Trx row superset with rear delt flies, 15 or so reps each

 

[zarathustra]

Some new pics. Slightly better lighting. Posing still not great. Been a while since I had to take pics- married a long time

First pic flexed abs, cuts definitely a bit better already, vague hints of lower ab definition. 2nd pic relaxed. 3rd pic trying for shoulder/arm but not a great pose/flex. Anyway I'll work on that one. If I get down to around 10% or so they should be striated.

Looking at your meals you really need to get some protein in there, try to drink a shake or bar, is that possible?

[zarathustra]

Looking at your meals you really need to get some protein in there, try to drink a shake or bar, is that possible?

Over the course of a week I'm trying just to hit 1.2/1.3g protein per kg bodyweight, or 0.8g protein per lb if we are mixing measurements. I'm not too bothered about a daily variance here or there- except that to not maybe that day was a little lower than ideal and I'd try to make it up somewhere.

I can see a lot of people are all in on the very high protein methods. I respect those views, that people hold them based on their own research and experience and understanding. However, I'm quite comfortable with the science supporting my chosen levels of protein, a moderate intake- especially for a recomp.

I try not to buy in at all to the "need" for shakes or bars- it's... a notion I reject... for someone with my amount of training per day and my goals for this cycle --note, strength gains, mass gains not among them. Maintaining muscle while cutting or a positive nitrogen balance indicating that, IS a goal.

If shakes etc fit in to peoples lifestyles and they go great on high protein- awesome. More power to ya. Consider this an experiment to observe and learn from and critique if you disagree with some of my choices here.

I get where you’re coming from. If your goal isn’t adding mass, that moderate intake is fine and backed by research. The high protein crowd is chasing hypertrophy, so their numbers look different, but for recomp and maintenance your range works. Shakes and bars aren’t required if your diet already covers it, they’re just convenience tools. Though I can tell you, shakes and bars will help you a lot, both recomp and cut. @zarathustra

11/9
Workout cardio/abs: 20 mins elliptical, then abs 3 sets dragon flags on decline bench superset decline crunch variations, 3 sets reverse crunch on decline bench, side plank 50 seconds.

Lunch: quarter pounder 5 nuggets 215/12, ¾ medium chips 280= 1000 cals 45g protein

Caramello koala 75 cals

Total 2350 cals 120g protein.

12/9
Workout: HIIT, legs based. Doubles as legs workout this week. Unless noted assume 60 second light activity like soft pedalling or walking in between HI efforts.
Cycling 4x 30 sprints, 60 seconds rest. Dialled up and aiming to basically hit failure on ability to turn the crank by the end of 30 seconds.
Skipping, high bounces as much as possible, 60 seconds.
Split jumps 30 seconds (18 reps)
Skipping, only managed 45 seconds so cut to 45 seconds rest
Burpess 35 seconds, 10 reps.

Totally wiped after that and the whole thing only takes like 12 minutes! Had time so some bodyweight calf raises super slow eccentrics, 2 sets, 40 reps.

Still 12/9 but will be a low cal day around 1800/1900 cals, 90-100g protein

Thanks mate.

2 eggs 150 cal 15 g protein / some days tuna instead 100 cals 15g protein + avocado into the veggies for roughly the same total cals but some more good fats
Lettuce, cucumber, tomato: lunch total 450/500 cals 25g protein

Dinner
Stir Fry
115g steak 30g protein 290 cals
1.3 cups white rice 265 cals 5g protein
Veggies
Sauce 100 cals (bit of a guess, no idea what wifey puts in it but it is delicious)
Dinner total: 650 cals 35-40g protein
An alternative dinner might be pan seared . salmon, 2 baked potatoes, corn, broccoli, other veg, just lemon for sauce. Maybe 850 cals 45-50g protein

Extras
Small flat white 100 cals 5g protein x2 for 200 cals 10g protein
Kids food, leftovers cookies etc, 200 cals protein 5g? Bit of a guess again.

Supper 25g peanutbutter + celery, half tub high protein yogurt total 250 cals 15g protein
Some days I’d sub in a handful of nuts instead of the pb and celery.

Daily total: 1800 cals, 90g protein. If dinner was bigger there might be one less coffee or no supper to keep it roughly in line on these days. So slightly hungry most of the day but fine at/after dinner.

So that would be a typical low calorie day with prepped lunch. Probably 3 days a week like that. There’d be 2 more days with similar starts but a bigger dinner or pre bed snack and they’d be more like 2200-2500 cals. Still just below maintenance.

Weekend days there might be more social eating or ice cream with kiddo or a beer/ wine on the weekend and I’d guess they’d be close to maintenance 2600-2700 cals. If over then not by much since I’d usually just have coffee in the morning and one light/healthy meal around whatever the “just enjoy it” one was.

I’ve managed to basically cut out the juices and coca cola easy enough already. So I'll see how this goes results wise for another week or so to see if we get much improvement and then adjust as needed.

Workout Monday 8/9 Cardio: boxing based 20 mins mixed boxing, burpees, stairs, skipping. Much more fun than just running or elipitical. Nice little outdoor active area at my gym with this set up.
Also some single leg calf raises. 2x drop sets each leg. 20kg/bw about 15 reps each drop. Just ties in with the pre exhaust from skipping well.

Boxing killer cardio bro I like it

Workout 13.9
20 mins cardio, walking inclines. Stretching.

Next days 14-15/9 no workout.
Fairground day with friends and kids. Diet not terrible for fairground stuff but not good either. Plenty of meat on a stick!
Then waking up at 2.30am for NRL finals. 3 beers at 3am? Wise- no. Necessary? Possibly- we lost in double extra time despite having a big lead. Gave the var the day off since the beer.

Workout 16.9
Cardio 30 mins: boxing based. Heavy bag for 3 minute rounds rotated around with 1 set 20 burpees, 3x 1min sets skipping. 3 sets bear crawls & yoga push ups. 3x 1.5 minute stairs (run or at thend, a walk).
Finish with some wrist rollers for forearm extensors/flexors.

17/9
`Workout shoulders/back + light cardio
2 drop sets cable laterals behind back, 10kg, 7.5kg
2 drop sets cable laterals, 10kg, 7.5kg
Neutral grip pull ups, 3 sets, 32 reps total
1 arm row slight decline, 3 sets per side, 15 reps, 9 reps 24kg, 26kg
3 sets incline db shrugs, 22kg, 20kg about 12-10 reps each set.
HAd some time so also did 30 mins walking afterward.

As I said earlier it's the big holiday season here for fiestas patrias. Most days have been similar to early posted days, with weekend of the 14th/15th a bit of a blowout in parts. Mirror says I seem to have survived it fine, but probably stalled the progress for a few days.

Fairground weekend with beers and late night footy was a bump, but nothing that’ll ruin the run since training and cardio bounced right back. Boxing circuits with bag work, burpees, and stairs gave you a tough conditioning day, that’s a solid way to offset the extra calories. Shoulder and back session looked good too, pull ups and rows strong, and adding the walk after kept the burn going. Mirror check is the best gauge here, and if it still looks fine you’re right back on track.

So far so good, only one night sweat and it was a night I kind of broke my own rules and ate a carby snack before bed. Possibly some disturbed sleep patterns at times from the tren but nothing too bad and there can be a million causes for that anyway. No pip on any pins really except 1 I hit some mad scar tissue and had to force through.

Your food across those days looks balanced overall, even with the higher calorie day on the 20th you still averaged out well. Protein could be a touch higher on the higher calorie day but the dips and curls session shows you’re still recovering fine. Weighted dips with partials mixed in are a strong way to overload triceps, good choice. Tren E and test E at those doses are a sweet spot for results without the full blast of sides, so it makes sense you’re only seeing light night sweats. Anavar kick should have you looking tighter in pics next week before the tren really takes over.

This is a really good workout session. The walking is very underrated. it is a strong training session @zarathustra

 

[zarathustra]

bros you doing great. @zarathustra keep up the food. not sure on the bread, maybe swap to oatmeal for carbs

Yeah I'm trying not to eat bread every day at least. For the moment I'll keep it in 3-4 days a week.

There will maybe come a point it needs to become a weekend only thing and I'll swap chickpeas and corn in to that kind of meal instead.

Worth noting it's a locally made pan de casa type bread, not mass produced sliced white bread so it's slightly higher protein and lower GI.

 

[zarathustra]

@zarathustra This is an impressive workout and training session. I like the different exercises you're doing. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. The weights is the fun part. I just mix the cardio up as much as I can as I just personally get bored of it faster.

This is a really good workout session. The walking is very underrated. it is a strong training session @zarathustra

I just don't like jogging I'll happily go and do a sprints session uphill in the heat before I'll go for a jog.

Gyms were closed on 19th so yeah just went for a walk. The steep inclines when I can get on a commercial treadmill are a great little calf booster too imo.

21/9 Food. Last day of the fairground season here so went with a mate and our kids... kept the food pretty tight this time
Coffee x2 250 cals 10g protein

small serve french fries 225 cals
coca cola 140 cals

yogurt , peanutbutter and celery 350 cals 15g protein.

Had night sweats for the 2nd time this cycle- I know there's various theories on why/ how to avoid on tren but I've been working off the basis it's usually a result of going hypoglycaemic during the night, which seems to be made worse if I crash after eat many high GI carbs at night. Hence it's usually something low GI like a greek style yogurt and pb... maybe it was all the meat? Good old meat sweats

Fairground food wasn’t bad at all, loads of protein from the meats and you kept it in check with calories, plus the yogurt and PB cap made sense with the tren sweats. Next day food was even tighter, clean protein from eggs, chicken, prawn, and rolls, all while keeping total low enough to keep the cut moving. HIIT leg session was sharp, those cycle sprints and split jumps will carve you up quick, and finishing with curls gave the hammies a solid hit. No wonder the mirror is showing you shredded, the work and diet are lining up perfect.

No pip on any pins really except 1 I hit some mad scar tissue and had to force through.

@zarathustra Great log right here! Food is on point!

I just don't like jogging I'll happily go and do a sprints session uphill in the heat before I'll go for a jog.

Gyms were closed on 19th so yeah just went for a walk. The steep inclines when I can get on a commercial treadmill are a great little calf booster too imo.

21/9 Food. Last day of the fairground season here so went with a mate and our kids... kept the food pretty tight this time
Coffee x2 250 cals 10g protein
leftover chicken noodles and veg 450 cals 30g protein

anticuchos (bbq meats on a stick, beef and pork, I avoid the sausage) lets say 150g beef 150g pork 800 cals 80g protein combined @BodyMonster34
small serve french fries 225 cals
coca cola 140 cals

yogurt , peanutbutter and celery 350 cals 15g protein.

Had night sweats for the 2nd time this cycle- I know there's various theories on why/ how to avoid on tren but I've been working off the basis it's usually a result of going hypoglycaemic during the night, which seems to be made worse if I crash after eat many high GI carbs at night. Hence it's usually something low GI like a greek style yogurt and pb... maybe it was all the meat? Good old meat sweats

Total: 2215 cals 135g protein



22/9 Food
Flat white coffee 125 cals, 5g protein

bread, avocado, 2 eggs 500 cals, 20g protein

Chicken and noodle, 300 cals, 20g protein

Goi Cuon (viet fresh spring roll) x4 500 cals 25g protein

leftover chicken/prawn say 50g each + lettuce, cucumber, crushed peanut & sauce 300 cals 25 g protien

Total: 1725 cals 95g protein

Workout 22/9 Legs based HIIT
Cycle sprints 4 x 30 seconds on, 1 min off
Skipping 1 min on, 1 min off x2
Split Jumps 30 seconds on, 1 min off
Split jumps to fail + 5 burpees, roughly 40 seconds

Afterward did 2x sets lying hamstring curls 54kg x8 reps

Mirror starting to look shredded...

Jogging is tough, especially if you live in a hot and humid climate like I do.

Yeah I'm trying not to eat bread every day at least. For the moment I'll keep it in 3-4 days a week.

There will maybe come a point it needs to become a weekend only thing and I'll swap chickpeas and corn in to that kind of meal instead.

Worth noting it's a locally made pan de casa type bread, not mass produced sliced white bread so it's slightly higher protein and lower GI.

bros bread a killer.

Thanks. The weights is the fun part. I just mix the cardio up as much as I can as I just personally get bored of it faster.

EVO family respect!

Workout 40 mins walking, + a quick arms at gym
decline 1 arm tricep extension 2x drop sets 18kg/14kg
concentration curls 14kg 2 sets each arm 8 reps
weighted dips +20kg, +10kg, bw. About 12 reps per set, but I do 3 top end partials and 3 bottom end partials in amongst each set.

I'll get some more pics next week at the end of the anavar kick run before we see how the UGLOZ tren E goes by itself after a month to kick in. Still at Tren E 240, test E 220, both by UGLOZ- generally a dose like that for me still gets the benefits but avoids the worst of the sides.

Nicely done on this and all the shared details

@zarathustra that’s nice sweats we’ll get you from time to time. My wife hates it because I always stay in the sheets. It looks like everything is going in the right direction.

Yeah I can deal with the odd one here or there, it comes with the territory.

I DID once have to abandon a cycle after constant 2-3 changes of shirt a night type sweats just wrecking sleep, since then I run lower doses and try to pinpoint causes and minimise those fuckers.

Food’s a little light at 1900 cals with just 100g protein, so you’ll lean out quick but might want a bit more protein in if you’re pushing HIIT like that. Session sounds brutal with the burpees, pull up push up combos, and skipping all back to back, no wonder cardio feels tougher on tren. Vascularity popping with the var and lower bf in the warmer weather is exactly what you want to see though.
