Approved Log Cut Cycle Log - going below 8% bodyfat

AVMetal_mulisha

V.I.P.
EVO Logger
Introduction: Hey everyone. I’ve decided to start this log to document the final phase of my current cutting cycle and the subsequent transition into a health-focused TRT phase. I am 39 years old, 178 cm, and currently sitting at approximately 82–83 kg.

I’m currently in the "purgatory" stage of this cut—sitting at roughly 9–10% body fat. While the conditioning is decent, the goal is to break into true 7–8% territory while solving a specific challenge: moving from a "losing the last bit of stomach fat, I've never been able to beach ripped, strong whilst maintaining health. This log will be a deep dive into the (hopefully) last 6 weeks of the cut including AAS, mitochondrial peptides, training.

Post TRT / Health phase - I will look to go into a build phase possibly over 9 - 10 months whilst minimizing fat and also keeping health parameters in check.

I'm also on the lookout for a sponsor to partner with if there are any looking.

2. NUTRITION: High/Low Carb Cycling

To combat the flatness from the Retatrutide/Tren combo and leverage my high insulin sensitivity (Fasting Insulin: 2 mU/L), I’ve moved away from flat calories to a targeted cycle.

  • Protein: 200g daily
  • High Carb Days (3x/week): ~2,470 – 2,670 kcal | 350–400g Carbs | 30g Fat. (Timed with Leg and Back priority days).
  • Low Carb Days (4x/week): ~1,830 – 2,020 kcal | 100–125g Carbs | 70–80g Fat. (Timed with BJJ and LISS).

3. TRAINING PLAN:

    • Pec Deck / Fly Machine: 2 sets x 12–15 reps.
    • Lateral Raise (Bench Supported): 4 sets x 15–20 reps.


    • Day 2: Lower Body (Posterior & Hamstrings)
    • Romanian Deadlifts (RDL): 3 sets x 8–10 reps (3-sec eccentric).
    • Leg Press or Hack Squat: 2 sets x 10–12 reps.
    • Seated Leg Curl: 3 sets x 12–15 reps (Focus on the stretch).
    • Adductor Machine: 2 sets x 15 reps.
    • Calf Raises: 4 sets x 15–20 reps.


    • Day 3: Upper 2 (Shoulders & Back Detail)
    • Incline Smith Machine Press: 3 sets x 8–10 reps.
    • Meadows Row or Single-Arm Neutral Cable Row: 3 sets x 10–12 reps.
    • Upright Rows (Cable/DB): 3 sets x 12–15 reps.
    • Face Pulls: 3 sets x 15 reps.
    • Weighted Dips: 2 sets x Max reps.


    • Day 4: Core & Arm Detail

    • Stomach Vacuums: 3 sets x 30-second holds.
    • Triceps Pushdowns (Dual Rope): 3 sets x 12–15 reps.
    • Incline DB Curls: 3 sets x 12–15 reps.


    • Day 5: Upper 3 (Chest/Shoulder Polish)
    • Slight Incline Machine Chest Press: 3 sets x 10–12 reps.
    • DB Lateral Raises: 5 sets x 15–20 reps.
    • Single-Arm Lat Pulldown: 3 sets x 12–15 reps.
    • High-to-Low Cable Flys: 3 sets x 15 reps.
    • Overhead Cable Triceps Extensions: 3 sets x 12–15 reps.
  • Activity: 10,000 - 12K steps daily + 2–3 BJJ sessions. I try and do 3 - 4 LISS sessions a week. with 1 - 2 of these being a jog. However, usually just a 5 - 5.2km/h walk on 8 incline.

4. SHORT-TERM GOAL: THE REMAINING 3KG

My objective for the next 4 weeks is to drop the remaining 2–3 kg of localized fat on the lower abdomen and flanks.
 
@coolguy77711 I am interested in this log, keen to see some pics, everything looks solid, the supps, training, calories. Well rounded plan, you should consider adding some Masteron to really dry out if you want that super lean look.

Are you using 2mg oral or injectable slu?
 
Retatrutide: 5 mg/week
Your gonna want to rethink this. 5mg is way too high. The starting dose is 1mg/wk for 4 weeks then 1.5mg/wk for 4 weeks and so on.
5mg will make you feel like complete garbage and bring digestion to a halt. You want to use this as a toll to aid in appetite control, not completely crush it.
The last time I used it i was able to run it at 1mg for 12 weeks before even thinking about upping the dose.
More is not better here.
  • Protein: 200g daily
  • High Carb Days (3x/week): ~2,470 – 2,670 kcal | 350–400g Carbs | 30g Fat. (Timed with Leg and Back priority days).
  • Low Carb Days (4x/week): ~1,830 – 2,020 kcal | 100–125g Carbs | 70–80g Fat. (Timed with BJJ and LISS).
If you lowered carbs a little and brought up fats you may be able to get the fire going again.
How long have you been dieting for?

My objective for the next 4 weeks is to drop the remaining 2–3 kg of localized fat on the lower abdomen and flanks.
Can you post pics of your current physique? You can't spot reduce fat. It comes off where it comes off. For me I hold fat on my back/lower back. I know when i'm lean when I start to see mid to low back detail.

welcome now fully to the EVO family :D @AVMetal_mulisha happy you shared.

you're on of the few that does 5mgs of tren ED, @BeMe take note of the dose here :D

if you're trying to get under 8% I suggest you you start cutting carbs and doing more AM fasted cardio, and training should change to more 20-25 reps for each set less weight as you get more dry.
for peds, add clenbuterol to push through the 9% mark, 40mcg to start but make sure from a trusted source

and 5mgs retatrutide, have you experienced this dose before? might be hard on digestion

@HarleyGuy
@Allupfromhere @Pigsy @Dreamer @Freki @R.AP
@waggat @Yuri @rizzlekdizzle @Grumpy
 
This is solid brother! You have already been on this cycle for some time im taking? As shit as a drug it is clenbuterol will be a very handy tool in this circumstance now doubt.
Loving that mito stack too mate exact compounds i have just implemented. Though whats your administration for the slu?

Your down to the wire now for that last of the fat loss, have you considered dropping off 1 high carb day? Maybe just leaving the high days for legs only?

At your current composition have you considered ss31 as the final card for your mito stack?

@AVMetal_mulisha this is a great goal to set. Getting that lean is a great accomplishment. You don't see very many people like that, especially in North America.

Hey man,

If you can get down under 8% body fat, that is a heck of an accomplishment. This is a good workout that you put together. Make sure you're also posting some meal pictures. We want to see it.

4. SHORT-TERM GOAL: THE REMAINING 3KG

My objective for the next 4 weeks is to drop the remaining 2–3 kg of localized fat on the lower abdomen and flanks.
Bros, I like your day five the best. @AVMetal_mulisha you got some good training in that session. Single-arm lat pull-down and high to low cable fly is my favorite.
 
Introduction: Hey everyone. I’ve decided to start this log to document the final phase of my current cutting cycle and the subsequent transition into a health-focused TRT phase. I am 39 years old, 178 cm, and currently sitting at approximately 82–83 kg.

I’m currently in the "purgatory" stage of this cut—sitting at roughly 9–10% body fat. While the conditioning is decent, the goal is to break into true 7–8% territory while solving a specific challenge: moving from a "losing the last bit of stomach fat, I've never been able to beach ripped, strong whilst maintaining health. This log will be a deep dive into the (hopefully) last 6 weeks of the cut including AAS, mitochondrial peptides, training.

Post TRT / Health phase - I will look to go into a build phase possibly over 9 - 10 months whilst minimizing fat and also keeping health parameters in check.

I'm also on the lookout for a sponsor to partner with if there are any looking.

Sitting at 8-9% BF is nothing to be bummed about bro. That's a solid achievement on its own. Its a great maintainable walking around BF% where you still look peeled.

If you wanna really get that last bit off you probably gotta start adjusting your macros and suffer a bit lol.

Training looks really good. I like the volume, really well balanced.

Your names a cool one. Been a while since I heard Metal Mulisha. Takes me back.

Really great start to the log!


you're on of the few that does 5mgs of tren ED, @BeMe take note of the dose here :D
Really bro...just couldn't help yourself lol
 
Hey team,

Attached are photos. My laptop died so will respond to the msgs etc this evening.

Also note I use a bench for photos so angle isn't the best. But I'm not taking a tripod to gym. I'll do updated photos each week and send a mix of foods. I eat however atm it's plain and boring. I'm a chef by trade, however if I don't do boring I don't cut! Hahah

You're already really lean, tight hard :D I think you can easily get to lower bodyfat @AVMetal_mulisha
 
@coolguy77711 I am interested in this log, keen to see some pics, everything looks solid, the supps, training, calories. Well rounded plan, you should consider adding some Masteron to really dry out if you want that super lean look.

Are you using 2mg oral or injectable slu?

Oral SLU, however not in caps. So not sure about the bio availability. Will try caps next. I've heard that injectable is done via DMSO.
But adding Masteron would crash out my E2 even more, or do you mean replace the primo with Master?
 
Your gonna want to rethink this. 5mg is way too high. The starting dose is 1mg/wk for 4 weeks then 1.5mg/wk for 4 weeks and so on.
5mg will make you feel like complete garbage and bring digestion to a halt. You want to use this as a toll to aid in appetite control, not completely crush it.
The last time I used it i was able to run it at 1mg for 12 weeks before even thinking about upping the dose.
More is not better here.

If you lowered carbs a little and brought up fats you may be able to get the fire going again.
How long have you been dieting for?


Can you post pics of your current physique? You can't spot reduce fat. It comes off where it comes off. For me I hold fat on my back/lower back. I know when i'm lean when I start to see mid to low back detail.

I'm a fatty at heart. I started at 1mg per week then titrated up over the last 8 weeks that I've been on this cut. even at 5mg when the night comes I die for carbs. In saying that, It may be the vendor. I'm going to try Raptor Labs Reta next vial (1.5 weeks away) and see if that is any better. The first time i tried reta I was on 2.5mg per week and I would go all day without eating. The last 3 vials I've had to titrate up and def still get food noise.

I've been cutting proper for 8 weeks.
 
welcome now fully to the EVO family :D @AVMetal_mulisha happy you shared.

you're on of the few that does 5mgs of tren ED, @BeMe take note of the dose here :D

if you're trying to get under 8% I suggest you you start cutting carbs and doing more AM fasted cardio, and training should change to more 20-25 reps for each set less weight as you get more dry.
for peds, add clenbuterol to push through the 9% mark, 40mcg to start but make sure from a trusted source

and 5mgs retatrutide, have you experienced this dose before? might be hard on digestion

@HarleyGuy
@Allupfromhere @Pigsy @Dreamer @Freki @R.AP
@waggat @Yuri @rizzlekdizzle @Grumpy
Am looking at re-doing my plan to be honest (training split). I'lll update later this week.

Not keen for clen as my HR is around 80 BPM as it is at the moment, during sleep gets to 56ish. Agree will do more fasted cardio.

@AVMetal_mulisha this is a good training session right here. I like that you hit the hanging leg raises and stomach vacuums. Working that core is important. That is what drives the beautiful ab structure that we love to see.

I really like all the activity you're doing that you included everything, including the low-intensity cardio, the BJJ, the steps, the walking, all that stuff, and the jogging. That is very impressive stuff that you are doing to keep your body active. @AVMetal_mulisha
 
Hey team,

Attached are photos. My laptop died so will respond to the msgs etc this evening.

Also note I use a bench for photos so angle isn't the best. But I'm not taking a tripod to gym. I'll do updated photos each week and send a mix of foods. I eat however atm it's plain and boring. I'm a chef by trade, however if I don't do boring I don't cut! Hahah
You're definitely already there bro and can cut another 1-2% with some grit and determination. I agree it requires very boring food for this but your determined as fuck and I'm looking forward to seeing it!

Attached are photos. My laptop died so will respond to the msgs etc this evening.

Also note I use a bench for photos so angle isn't the best. But I'm not taking a tripod to gym. I'll do updated photos each week and send a mix of foods. I eat however atm it's plain and boring. I'm a chef by trade, however if I don't do boring I don't cut! Hahah
Looking good mate. You've got big arms and legs and your traps look crazy from the rear.
 
Am looking at re-doing my plan to be honest (training split). I'lll update later this week.

Not keen for clen as my HR is around 80 BPM as it is at the moment, during sleep gets to 56ish. Agree will do more fasted cardio.
sure waiting to see the redo :D update us
 
Introduction: Hey everyone. I’ve decided to start this log to document the final phase of my current cutting cycle and the subsequent transition into a health-focused TRT phase. I am 39 years old, 178 cm, and currently sitting at approximately 82–83 kg.

I’m currently in the "purgatory" stage of this cut—sitting at roughly 9–10% body fat. While the conditioning is decent, the goal is to break into true 7–8% territory while solving a specific challenge: moving from a "losing the last bit of stomach fat, I've never been able to beach ripped, strong whilst maintaining health. This log will be a deep dive into the (hopefully) last 6 weeks of the cut including AAS, mitochondrial peptides, training.

Post TRT / Health phase - I will look to go into a build phase possibly over 9 - 10 months whilst minimizing fat and also keeping health parameters in check.

I'm also on the lookout for a sponsor to partner with if there are any looking.

4. SHORT-TERM GOAL: THE REMAINING 3KG

My objective for the next 4 weeks is to drop the remaining 2–3 kg of localized fat on the lower abdomen and flanks.
@AVMetal_mulisha Awesome work right here bro!
 
Sitting at 8-9% BF is nothing to be bummed about bro. That's a solid achievement on its own. Its a great maintainable walking around BF% where you still look peeled.

If you wanna really get that last bit off you probably gotta start adjusting your macros and suffer a bit lol.

Training looks really good. I like the volume, really well balanced.

Your names a cool one. Been a while since I heard Metal Mulisha. Takes me back.

Really great start to the log!



Really bro...just couldn't help yourself lol
Yeah big old school Tallica fan here!

What macros are you thinking? I've noticed with the mito stack I'm burning through cals. Not that it checks but line of sight, my fitness watch is giving me about a 3 - 3200 cals per day burn.

If you've hit a plateau I'd start trying to tinker with that high day a little bit and see if that helps. The carbs are somewhat high on those days so you could try dropping them to see how it goes.

@avmetal_melisha really good start to the log. We’re glad to have you here on Evo. Can’t wait to see how far you push this.
 
Hey All,
Happy New Year - been quite since the OG posts.

The Last 2 Weeks: The previous two weeks were a crash course in systemic stress. Following a heavy push and recent blood donation, my body hit a "redline" state.

  • Symptoms: Sleeping heart rate (RHR) spiked to 73–75 BPM, accompanied by audible "thumping" in the ears and a slight tingle in top left chest.
  • Where I think I went wrong was donating blood, jumping on tren (0.25mg per week), then pushing out 3500 cals per day whilst only consuming 2200. This lead to the symptoms above but also total burn out feeling.
The focus for the next 3 weeks is internal repair. I am going to combine my health phase with the remainder of my cut.

1. Hormonal Shift (The Bioidentical Base)
  • Testosterone E: Dropping to 125mg/week
  • Primo: Dropping this out.
  • hCG: Adding 500 IU/week (250 IU x 2) to backfill neurosteroids like Pregnenolone and DHEA for brain sharpness.
    • On this, I've not seen many people on this forum or others really talk about the importance of preg / DHEA. I'd love to hear peoples thoughts.
2. Mitochondrial Repair (The Order)

  • SS-31 (5mg Daily): To patch mitochondrial leaks
  • NAD+ (25–50mg Daily): To restore cellular energy and clear brain fog.
  • Introduction: MOTSC 2 x 5mg per week - starting next week if the recovery goes well.

3. Nutrition (The 400g Carb Cut)
  • Macros: 230g Protein / 400g Carbs / 45g Fat.- These macros were last week.
  • Macros this week: 2500 calories / 220g Protein / 260g Carbs / 70g fat
  • Macros next week and towards the end of the cut: 2200 calories / 180 - 200g protein / 60g fat / Carbs - filler
  • Goal: Use high-carb fueling to drive recovery and metabolic health while staying in a deficit to hit sub-8% by Feb 21st.

I took the week off training to recovery with first session this morning, attached are photos post training (Yes laser needs to happen).
Training:
This morning 5/1/26
Smith Machine incline bench 30degree incline 3s eccentric, hold 1 second, 1 second concentric:
60kg x 12
70kg x 8
60kg x 8

Lat Pulldown wide grip
40kg x 7
35kg x 8
30kg x 11

30 degree bench incline cable chest fly
13.75kg x 10

you're looking good and you see back :D strong abs and lean size @AVMetal_mulisha but 73bpm? thats not very high, what was it before?
and did you do bloods yet?

Yeah, I uploaded my bloods last week hahaha.

Issue with my RHR is 1.) It was mid 50's (pre anabolics), and 2.) It sits around 85 - 90 when I'm walking around. Would like this to sit in the 70's.

Appreciate the feedback on the build.

I'm just checking back missed them :D thats good even at 8-90 range if you target that @AVMetal_mulisha if you have no sides
 

Workout Log: Cut Phase (Days 1 & 2)

Following a high-frequency approach to maintain muscle density and shape while leaning out. Here is the breakdown of the first two days of the current rotation.

First 2 days back in the gym after 2 weeks off over Christmas. For leg I'm focusing on technique and ensuring the right muscles are being used. I've been working with my physio on better core activation and glute activation. Whilst I can usually push 170kg on the hack squat, it's very different doing it with a band around the thigh and focusing on perfect execution.

I've also added the last 9 check ins with the EVOLT that the gym has, although I'm not 4% bodyfat (maybe one day), it at least gives directionally accurate information on how things are progressing.

    • Set 3: 7.5kg x 15
    • Set 4: 7.5kg x 15

Day 2: Lower Body (Posterior Detail & Tie-in)

Goal: Refining hamstrings and glutes while maintaining quad density.

  • Romanian Deadlifts (BB or DB) (3 sets x 10–12 reps | 3-sec eccentric)
    • Set 1: 90kg x 9
    • Set 2: 80kg x 7
    • Set 3: 80kg x 8

Appreciate the feedback on the build.
I am the same man, my RHR when im off cycle can be as low as 42-43 but when on, jumps right up, I think mine could be hormones out a bit like low e2 - worth doing bloods
 
Hey All,
Happy New Year - been quite since the OG posts.

The Last 2 Weeks: The previous two weeks were a crash course in systemic stress. Following a heavy push and recent blood donation, my body hit a "redline" state.

  • Symptoms: Sleeping heart rate (RHR) spiked to 73–75 BPM, accompanied by audible "thumping" in the ears and a slight tingle in top left chest.
  • Where I think I went wrong was donating blood, jumping on tren (0.25mg per week), then pushing out 3500 cals per day whilst only consuming 2200. This lead to the symptoms above but also total burn out feeling.
The focus for the next 3 weeks is internal repair. I am going to combine my health phase with the remainder of my cut.

1. Hormonal Shift (The Bioidentical Base)
  • Testosterone E: Dropping to 125mg/week
  • Primo: Dropping this out.
  • hCG: Adding 500 IU/week (250 IU x 2) to backfill neurosteroids like Pregnenolone and DHEAfor brain sharpness.
    • On this, I've not seen many people on this forum or others really talk about the importance of preg / DHEA. I'd love to hear peoples thoughts.
2. Mitochondrial Repair (The Order)

  • SS-31 (5mg Daily): To patch mitochondrial leaks
  • NAD+ (25–50mg Daily): To restore cellular energy and clear brain fog.
  • Introduction: MOTSC 2 x 5mg per week - starting next week if the recovery goes well.

3. Nutrition (The 400g Carb Cut)
  • Macros: 230g Protein / 400g Carbs / 45g Fat.- These macros were last week.
  • Macros this week: 2500 calories / 220g Protein / 260g Carbs / 70g fat
  • Macros next week and towards the end of the cut: 2200 calories / 180 - 200g protein / 60g fat / Carbs - filler
  • Goal: Use high-carb fueling to drive recovery and metabolic health while staying in a deficit to hit sub-8% by Feb 21st.

I took the week off training to recovery with first session this morning, attached are photos post training (Yes laser needs to happen).
Training:
This morning 5/1/26
Smith Machine incline bench 30degree incline 3s eccentric, hold 1 second, 1 second concentric:

In line with a health phase brother I'd love to see your complete nutritional breakdown. Really good time to focus on getting this right to go alongside the TRT, Mito, and Supplementations!

Is it high even on just TRT? Or just when you go deep in to cycle? Albeit I think mine jumped significantly on tren and also reta also pushes it up too.

E2 was low, however I've downed my dose of primo 8 weeks ago from 290mg a week to 100mg, now completely off and just doing 125mg of TEST-E + 2 x 250mg of HCG a week.

Nah its fine on TRT once I have everything dialled in, your low e2 would be the reason man, let the e2 rise and I guarentee itll settle down, if you use a fitness tracker I would bet your body temp and hrv is cooked too.
 
Hey Rap, when you say see my complete nutritional breakdown, what are you thinking?
Looking for food items that look after blood pressure, organ health, oxidative stress, lipids, immune function, gut and digestive health, electrolyte intake etc.

Basically optimizing your health phase so you're in a really strong position for your next phase!

Training is good but you doing all week updates at once , are you doing higher drop sets or reps? dont see it @AVMetal_mulisha
 
what kind of macros on this?

Training is good but you doing all week updates at once , are you doing higher drop sets or reps? dont see it @AVMetal_mulisha
Macros -

  • High Carb Days (3x/week): ~2,470 – 2,670 kcal | 350–400g Carbs | 30g Fat. (Timed with Leg and Back priority days).
  • Low Carb Days (4x/week): ~1,830 – 2,020 kcal | 100–125g Carbs | 70–80g Fat. (Timed with BJJ and LISS).
No drop sets, I just do straight sets. The only time I do drop sets or pause sets is if I don't hit the reps I feel I should be hitting.

you're doing meal prep? for all ?
would be nice to see a drop set added if you can :D @AVMetal_mulisha

Where would you recommend drop sets?

Also just a question from previously, use of things such as HCG, HMG on cycle? Not many people mention it here? But from a neuroprotective lens it's still a part of the bodies natural hormone system any reason we don't really use?

I dont see the point of it unless you plan to pct after, you do plan pct or trt post cycle? @AVMetal_mulisha

@AVMetal_mulisha hi to low cable flies and machine lateral raises are really good. Sounds like a really cool workout with the cuffs.
 
pick 2 exercises per session and drop them

I dont see the point of it unless you plan to pct after, you do plan pct or trt post cycle? @AVMetal_mulisha
Theory as Test only does not provide things such as pregnenoline and DHEA.

No, I've just cut down to 125mg of Test-E and HCG 250mg x 2 per week for the remainder of the cut, then 8-week reverse diet. Then will look at a proper build. No PCT till possibly end of the year.

Bros, good job on the dead bench press. Not bad hitting 90 kilograms on two of the sets. That's some decent amount of weight and you kept in control. @AVMetal_mulisha

Thats going to be PCT you can do test/hcg but we need to check bloods as you go for e2 @AVMetal_mulisha

Looking really good on this. I like the different exercises that you're doing. The half-kneeling cable rotation mobility is also a good one and using the medicine ball is smart. @AVMetal_mulisha
 
Weight this morning back down to 82kg in the morning after a diet break last week where I hit 83.5kg most mornings. Feeling on point and ready for the last 4 weeks of my cut (my 40th is also 4 weeks away so feel like it's a great goal to have abs at 40 for the first time in my life and a great reason to finish the cut!)

After the terrible sleep earlier this week got a solid 8.5 hours last night and feel like a new man, my RHR has been steadily coming down this week and sitting at 63BPM during the course of the day and during sleep.

HRV is sitting around 75 through the night.

Training yesterday was a killer, on top of the session I posted and sprint session I had first session back in BJJ which inc 5 x 5 minute hard sparring rounds. Today thank goodness is rest day.

I've also attached some more food photos from dinner yesterday.

On a fun note, just received next batch of goodies in the post

Boy one look at those food pics and I can tell what you're up to right away lol. Some nice lookn cut meals there.

Your RHR is great for an almost 40 year old dude. Having a goal for turning 40 is great. When I was turning 37 I thought it was time to buckle down and train hard. My goal was to be in better shape at 40 then I was at 20 and I pulled it off. Next is better at 50 then 40.

Seems silly but these little goals help keep us really focused and working hard. Hope you hit your cutting goals for 40 bro and don't add it all back at your bday party lol

Agreed - it keeps us disciplined. TBH I've been 'skinner' in my life but from a leanness and muscle POV it's the best I've ever looked and the plan is to peak at 45. Whilst focusing on longevity.
 
Weight this morning back down to 82kg in the morning after a diet break last week where I hit 83.5kg most mornings. Feeling on point and ready for the last 4 weeks of my cut (my 40th is also 4 weeks away so feel like it's a great goal to have abs at 40 for the first time in my life and a great reason to finish the cut!)

After the terrible sleep earlier this week got a solid 8.5 hours last night and feel like a new man, my RHR has been steadily coming down this week and sitting at 63BPM during the course of the day and during sleep.

HRV is sitting around 75 through the night.

Training yesterday was a killer, on top of the session I posted and sprint session I had first session back in BJJ which inc 5 x 5 minute hard sparring rounds. Today thank goodness is rest day.

Ya bro you're looking great. Skinny is easy. Being shredded is totally different.

Longevity is a big one when you get to our age, I just hit 41. Kinda get to a point where you start thinking about getting actually old and what type of lifestyle you wanna have when you get there.

You thinking a longevity peptide stack or more longevity focused training? Or both?

I've been looking in to peptides for both performance and longevity for a while, however I think I'll just get someone who knows what their doing instead of test n see.

Longevity inc psychologist every fortnight, training style - inc more mobility, power, strength and functional training not just pure muscle mass, food I eat, I've been healthy my whole life, however being more cognisant of what I put in my body, less red meats - more fish, more white meat. Potential for things such as red light therapy, sleep assistance etc

I've seen my dad and his generation hit 40 then decline way too quickly. Understandably I don't have to do the stupid hours he did, but I still want to be able to do BJJ and train heavy, travel, enjoy life and enjoy sex well in to my 60's.

Sorry - mind dump.

Not apologies necessary. Its basically like listening to my own thoughts exactly so I totally get where you're coming from and loved reading through it.

I eat the same as you and I've been adding a lot of those protocols to my life as I go. I got sleep fully dialed in, and now recovery is a big one. I just got red light panel the other day actually lol. Just an 80 LED one for injury recovery, but it's just big enough that I can hit my whole torso with it too.

Bought a sauna last year in the hopes of improving recovery and cardio with it. Been pretty good so far.

I've been slacking on the mobility stuff to prioritize growth but with your BJJ it's really important for what you do especially so I can see why you're doing it now.

Getting old and decrepit is a scary thought. My dad is just like yours. He's 70 now and he's slowed down so much...don't wanna get like that. No reason we can't be fit and mobile into our 80s if we do the right stuff. Mic Jagger is still getting women pregnant so why can't we LOL

@AVMetal_mulisha looking strong man....keep shining.......
 
Your gonna want to rethink this. 5mg is way too high. The starting dose is 1mg/wk for 4 weeks then 1.5mg/wk for 4 weeks and so on.
5mg will make you feel like complete garbage and bring digestion to a halt. You want to use this as a toll to aid in appetite control, not completely crush it.
The last time I used it i was able to run it at 1mg for 12 weeks before even thinking about upping the dose.
More is not better here.

If you lowered carbs a little and brought up fats you may be able to get the fire going again.
How long have you been dieting for?


Can you post pics of your current physique? You can't spot reduce fat. It comes off where it comes off. For me I hold fat on my back/lower back. I know when i'm lean when I start to see mid to low back detail.
solid advice from @s.gentz. low n slow on that stuff or it’ll wreck ur appetite + digestion and the whole cut turns into misery
@AVMetal_mulisha u tracking morning BP, sleep, steps + weekly avg weight? if u can keep performance + digestion stable, getting that last bit off is way easier

Nice lookn TD. Pumpkin is an interesting meal choice we don't see often. How do you prepare it? Is there a reason you go for pumpkin or you just like it?

Bro, it was a pleasure getting caught up on your log! I'm super pumped you're into BJJ I wanna get chatting more about with the other BJJ'ers on here like you, we have another 2 or 3, one blue and one purple (who is ready to go brown).

Over and above this I do BJJ 2 - 3 times per week.
Love this! I haven't done it since about 2008 but finished with black belt back in the day. Surprisingly the basics are like riding a bike but those fine details are what gets lost. I rolled with someone at Goodlife Gym on the yoga mats a while back and it was a reminder of how amazing your cardio needs to be and how it was the best shape I was in my life cardiowise at the time.

Andrew Huberman and Stuart McMillan Sprinting session.
This is nuts bro! I watched this online, you're a machine.

Keep any nap under 1hr. Ideally 20-40 mins or you WILL struggle
@Mobster is correct it took me a while to learn this the hard way.

(my 40th is also 4 weeks away so feel like it's a great goal to have abs at 40 for the first time in my life and a great reason to finish the cut!)
I love this goal! I'm going for turning 50 with abs myself.

SS31
NAD+
5-Amino-1-Q
These and MOTS-C are the top dawgs for mitochondrial repair and optimization keep us posted on how this plays out for you

Sorry - mind dump.
I like reading it and that's what EVO is for bro! I have the same sexual goals too except I'm thinking into my 70's LOL

no legs in a week? they look massive and pumped though!
I think that's the BJJ, having someone in your guard your legs are tensing often it's like a 1-hour Pilates session for lower body LOL

Absolute brutal session today.
Ya that one on Friday hurt me just reading it my Lord LOL

Keep up the great work brother love your updates, and log!

Thats awesome! Thanks for the support! Jits is definitely a game changer!

I just received some MOTSC in the mail today from the crew at @Raptor Labs actually so will be implementing this from tomorrow onwards. Have run out of SLUPP so that's out of the stack for now, but keen to see how it all stacks together nicely!
 
Trying to be consistent with the threads but usually delayed a day or so.

Today's diet was on point hitting coaches macros at 2050 cals - 219P 160C 55F

15 min fasted cardio cycle this morning

30 min LISS walk on the treadmill at 5.2KM/H at 8% incline pre-training as warm up.

Tunes this evening supplied by;

Metallica - Limp Bizkuit, Led Zepplin, Roy Jones & Gunners.

Focus on Chest & Delts tonight and finished off with some cable crunches.

I'll upload some photos tomorrow post leg day.

Also, perhaps it's just me getting old. I find it extremely weird the amount people use their phones at the gym, especially when they can watch a video while performing a set.

MOTS-C with those other 3 and you're set with the full mitochondrial arsenal. Keep us posted. You only need to run the SS31 for 4-6 weeks at a time and then the other 3 you can let them add the high octane fuel.

Today's the day brother. Hope it goes well!

Nice log btw brother. I don't get the video thing either while performing a set. Just means they aren't giving it their all

They can do whatever they want hahah, but don't make me stand around waiting for you and then perform a half assed set. I have a boat load of Peptides and AAS needing to be unleashed. hahaha
