Alright lads, figured it was time to step back in and do this properly.
I had a crack at logging last year but if I’m being honest, I got a bit overwhelmed. There was a lot of advice coming from all angles and while I genuinely appreciated it, it just wasn’t the right approach for me at the time. I ended up going down the path of pushing gear and forcing food, and all it really got me was fatter and feeling unhealthy. Rather than keep going down that road and disappoint people, I stepped away.
That said, I did enjoy logging. The way this community gets around each other instead of tearing each other down is something I rate highly, and it’s something I wanted to come back to. I just needed to reset and figure out a better way forward.
I reached out to Allupfromhere for a bit of direction. He’s always been a positive influence around here. We had a few chats and he helped me simplify things and get pointed back in the right direction.
We stripped everything right back to basics: Nutrition
Training
Recovery
Ped's were always going to be part of the picture again, but this time the goal was to do it properly and keep things as healthy as possible. This isn’t a short phase for me, it’s a lifestyle.
We started conservative: 200mg test
3iu GH
daily pins
E2 came up but there were no negatives. Blood pressure stayed in check, so we let it ride and actually make use of what higher E2 can offer.
One thing that caught me off guard was being told to tighten everything up first. Mentally I was ready to grow, so it felt like I was moving backwards. But I trusted the process.
Within 6 weeks, scale weight stayed the same but composition changed massively. Leaner, tighter, and actually looking like I train.
Nutrition was structured around training and rest days, with a big focus on the peri workout window and properly fuelling performance.
Eventually we hit a point where it made sense to shift gears. Insulin sensitivity was in a good place, body comp was where it needed to be, and I’d built a solid base.
Safe to say I’m keen to push things now.
Even then, the approach is still pretty minimal which threw me at first, but everything so far has worked, so I’m sticking with it and trusting the process.
Big appreciation to Allupfromhere for pointing me in the right direction and keeping things grounded, but this log is about the journey ahead and doing things better this time around.
Keen to have the boys back in here and share the process. Hoping for a big year.
So this is the start of growth phase
Still running push pull legs rest
Old macros
Training day:
2150 cals
Protein 187g
Carbs 195g
Fats 56.6g
Rest day
1900 cals
Protein 194g
Carbs 130g
Fats 54g
Just started the slow increase with food so still adjusting
INCREASED
2643 cals
Protein 255g
Carbs 228g
Fats 60g
Here’s a couple photos of the progress in the last 8 weeks
Cycle increased too
3iu daily HGH
300mg test
100mg primo
150mg npp
Daily pinning
Keen to see what the growth phase can do.
