Approved Log First Testosterone Cycle - 250mgs/week

[bigKO1]

Hey all,

Starting my 2nd log here!

Will be starting the cycle in the next 3-4 weeks once the cut is done, just kicking the log off now to show the current set up. Running A 'light' 250mg Test C per week (125mg subq Monday + Thursday) for 14 weeks at maintenance calories. Previously ran LGD and had good results from it, so now I’m giving a proper Test cycle a go.

Got my baseline bloods done and will be getting them mid-cycle (week 5-6), post-cycle and post-PCT. Planned PCT is Nolva 40/40/20/20, Clomid 25/25, plus MK-677 10mg and Cardarine 10mg for 6 weeks post cycle. Will adjust depending on how the bloods come back.

Will update regularly with progress, weight, pics, food, bloods etc. Appreciate any input or follows as I log keen to make the most of the amount of experience on here.

Stats: 23 years old, 5’7”, 69kg.

Sleep: Average 8:05hrs every night (Whoop tracked).

Supplements:

• Mag Gly: 420mg ED
• Fish Oil: 2,700mg EPA/DHA combined
• Zinc: 50mg
• Ashwagandha: 600mg
• TUDCA/NAC: 500/1200mg
• Creatine: 5g
• Vit D: 5000IU
• Digestive Enzymes with every meal
• Probiotics
• Psyllium Husk
• Finasteride 0.8mg / Minoxidil (oral) 2mg
• RU58841

Diet: Will set new baseline calories once the cut is finished (currently on ~1700 cals), looking at ~2300 cals. Eating basic whole foods 90% of the time. (Big red meat enthusiast).

Training: Current split is a 4x week upper/lower. Big focus on high intensity/progressive overload. Just got a new home gym set up that I'll be training with which I’m pretty stoked about: https://fitnessmasters.com.au/product/rx3-3000-smith-machine-rack/

Goal: Come out of this fuller, denser and stronger than I went in. Keen to grow this winter!

Will upload base photos once cut is complete.

Will be using @UGL OZ Support Rep @UGL OZ for the Gear and PCT.

Cheers
Arch

Please share more day to day information with us.

Diet, Training, Cardio

@LevButlerov , I'll post pics up when the cut's done (before cycle start), Will post all training food cardio as well. Doing a mini deload at the moment as going away over the weekend. Gym starts again Monday.
Not taking any Vit C at the moment, 15 grams creatine?? What's the benefit of so high? I've been taking 5g for years.
RU58841 Is for my hair have been taking it for approx. 8 months. I had a fair bit of thinning recession & naturally from MPB which I've turned around.

Start Gym again tomorrow. Feeling great and ready to get back into it after 5 days rest haven't had a break that long in ages. Also, will be pushing the cycle back until end of this month as I have to travel for work for a week soon and will be hard to hit the gym consistently that week. Anyways, here's some recent meals. Happy lifting!

good side chest you look lean and hard @Archie but your protein too low tbh

I knew you would say higher protein . Will push to 180 that'll have me at 2.6g per kg and leave plenty of room for Carbs as I add more cals in.

Hey all,

Starting my 2nd log here!

Will be starting the cycle in the next 3-4 weeks once the cut is done, just kicking the log off now to show the current set up. Running A 'light' 250mg Test C per week (125mg subq Monday + Thursday) for 14 weeks at maintenance calories. Previously ran LGD and had good results from it, so now I’m giving a proper Test cycle a go.

Got my baseline bloods done and will be getting them mid-cycle (week 5-6), post-cycle and post-PCT. Planned PCT is Nolva 40/40/20/20, Clomid 25/25, plus MK-677 10mg and Cardarine 10mg for 6 weeks post cycle. Will adjust depending on how the bloods come back.

Will update regularly with progress, weight, pics, food, bloods etc. Appreciate any input or follows as I log keen to make the most of the amount of experience on here.

Stats: 23 years old, 5’7”, 69kg.

Sleep: Average 8:05hrs every night (Whoop tracked).

Supplements:

• Mag Gly: 420mg ED
• Fish Oil: 2,700mg EPA/DHA combined
• Zinc: 50mg
• Ashwagandha: 600mg
• TUDCA/NAC: 500/1200mg
• Creatine: 5g
• Vit D: 5000IU
• Digestive Enzymes with every meal
• Probiotics
• Psyllium Husk
• Finasteride 0.8mg / Minoxidil (oral) 2mg
• RU58841

Diet: Will set new baseline calories once the cut is finished (currently on ~1700 cals), looking at ~2300 cals. Eating basic whole foods 90% of the time. (Big red meat enthusiast).

Training: Current split is a 4x week upper/lower. Big focus on high intensity/progressive overload. Just got a new home gym set up that I'll be training with which I’m pretty stoked about: https://fitnessmasters.com.au/product/rx3-3000-smith-machine-rack/

Goal: Come out of this fuller, denser and stronger than I went in. Keen to grow this winter!

Will upload base photos once cut is complete.

Will be using @UGL OZ Support Rep @UGL OZ for the Gear and PCT.

Cheers
Arch

Today's meals, Workout and Pump pic.
Felt pretty fatigued and a slight strength dip in the gym even after the deload so might be time to wrap up the cut, I'll see how I'm feeling at the end of the week tho.It has been aggressive cut recently.
Also, volume is low atm with the slower recovery between sessions, looking forward to more calories and some test lol just want to make sure all the stars align before pinning.

Calories are looking nice and so is the protein. @Archie it's good to do a little deload with your body and nutrition.

Ham focused leg day yesterday felt great.

As per before keeping the volume low with decent intensity still in the final stages of this cut. Gym 4 x a week seems to be the sweet spot between working out + recovery for me at the moment.

Haha glad to hear your experience, definitely seems a lot lower than most people run but Im keen for it.

I ran 250 for a long time. Too long probably, but it was good. I sure did get bigger and stronger when everything else was in play. I never did stop getting stronger, life just got in the way. Low side effects, nice and steady. I’m taking 300 right now, I don’t feel like I need more. Just need to workout and eat more consistently to maximize it.

Upper A Yesterday

• Workout felt great, no fatigue going into it
• Volume is staying low until I start Test
• Slowly bringing Carbs/Cals up the next ~3 weeks to Maintenance (most likely around 2,200) then I'll start the cycle.
• Already added about 60g extra carbs in and pumps are becoming stronger.
