Approved Log Testosterone Retatrutide Cardarine Cycle Log

[Kingofspades712]

What’s up guys. My brother introduced me to this site last week. Been enjoying reading through all of the threads. New to posting here and honestly pretty new to really taking bodybuilding seriously, so figured I’d introduce myself and share what I’ve been running and what my goals are. I’ve been learning a ton lately and this lifestyle has honestly become an obsession in the best way possible.


34 years old
6’0”
Currently 176 lbs


Little background — I messed around with gear twice in my early 20s. Ran test once and tren once, both short 8 week runs. After that life happened and I basically stopped lifting seriously for almost 10 years.


About 8 months ago I got back into the gym and completely fell in love with the process again.


Current body fat is probably somewhere around 11-14%. My Hume scale has been reading between 10.3-10.6% this week but I know those aren’t perfectly accurate.


Current goal is getting down to around 7-9% body fat by June 1st. That’ll finish off a 12 week cut for me.


Right now I’m 5 weeks into the cut.


Current cycle:

• 250 mg Test Cyp weekly
• 2 pins per week
• Retatrutide 3 mg weekly
• 2 pins weekly
• Cardarine 10 mg daily

Before this cut I ran a 16 week bulk at around 500-600 mg Test Sust.


Started the bulk around 164 lbs and got up to 198 at my heaviest.


Once I started cutting and the initial water weight dropped, I went from around 185 down to my current 176.


Diet has been extremely structured during this cut:

• 185-200g protein daily
• 40-50g fats
• Rest of calories from carbs

Calories:

• 1800-2000 on regular training days
• 1900-2200 on leg days
• 1800-1900 on rest days

Protein and fats stay pretty consistent. Mostly just manipulating carbs depending on output and training.


Supplements are basic:

• Men’s multivitamin
• Krill oil

So far I haven’t had any nipple sensitivity or gyno issues whatsoever.


One thing I know I need to improve on is bloodwork. I’ve honestly always been the type to avoid doctors, but I know that’s stupid if I’m going to take this seriously long term. I already scheduled a basic panel through Kaiser and I’m planning to get full hormone bloodwork through a third party as well.


Progress so far has honestly been insane for me. I started this whole thing pretty lean but definitely skinny-fat with very little muscle maturity.


For work I’m a union drywall foreman, so I burn a ton of calories every day on the job, but I’m still training hard 6 days a week for around 1.5 hours per session.


Current split:
Monday — Chest/Biceps
Tuesday — Back/Shoulders/Triceps
Wednesday — Legs
Thursday — Rest
Friday — Chest/Shoulders
Saturday — Back/Arms
Sunday — Legs


I’d appreciate any advice from some of the more experienced guys here. I genuinely love this lifestyle already and I know I’ve barely scratched the surface when it comes to learning.


Current plan is dropping down to 200 mg Test Cyp this week and cruising/cutting until July 1st.


After that I’m thinking about doing a lean rebound bulk for around 16 weeks. Possibly:

• 400 mg Test
  with either:
• NPP
  or
• Primo

Would definitely appreciate some insight there from guys who’ve run either.

You should definitely start up a log and check out the other logs on here. We’ve got a bunch of guys who work labor jobs like yourself you’re actually an advantage because you burn so many calories and you sweat so much that you stay lean so in your situation, if you wanted to go with the deca, it would boost your appetite. If you feel like that’s what you need but I think in your situation I would take the middle route and go with Eq.. I think that would be perfect for what you want.

I’m 5 weeks into my cut. I started my cut immediately after my bulk where I was running 500 mg of test with .5 mg of Reta. I dropped to 350 mg test for the first 2 weeks of the cut and increased my Reta to 2 mg weekly. Now I’m currently at 250 mg test cyp and 3 mg Reta. I plan on staying at 3 mg of Reta as long as possible as it is working amazing. I would like to lower my test these final 8 weeks to TRT levels to give my body a break. Do you think that’s needed?

Also blood work wise I plan on getting my first panel ever tomorrow. But that’ll just be a basic lipid etc test through Kaiser. Do you have any recommendations on 3rd party hormone blood test agency’s. I found a test for $229 through Quest I might just do that.

Welcome to the forum! We’re all glad to have you! Bro you look ripped for just getting back in to bodybuilding.
I think this cycle will turn out well for you. Nothing over the top. Can’t wait to see the progress!

 

[Kingofspades712]

I am very tempted to add a pre mixed cut stack for the final 4-6 weeks of my cut.

It’s the
50 mg/ml test prop
50 mg/ml tren A
50 mg/ml masteron

Was thinking of running 250 mg of this weekly.
Being I’m already running Cyp for High TRT should I continue this or would it be dumb mixing cyp and prop?

Geez you're looking really good already there mate. Nice and lean with good size.

What's your long term plan with gear? Blast and cruise indefinitely? Mainly asking that since you're pretty young.

Can you show some typical workouts. Split is interesting. Will be very easy to 'overtrain' doing 6 days a week. The main issues I see with the split are: shoulders getting hit back to back on Monday and Tuesday (particularly if you do a shoulder press on Tuesday) and a bit of a disparity in terms of number/size of muscles on those days. Eg, a popular split is chest/arms and back/shoulders.

thank you man. I’d say my true goals are to gain 20-30 pounds of lean mass in the next few years. I have no plans of completely getting off TRT. That is unless my blood work goes to absolute shit I am one and done when it comes to having children. I want to keep learning before I do any real technical cycles but I know I will definitely run one.

 

[Kingofspades712]

A typical workout for me currently

Monday

Chest

Incline bench - 5 sets of 10-12 focusing on good form. 3 second negatives let rest completely on my chest before pushing up. 185 Ibs move up to 205

Dumbbell incline 4 sets of 10. 80’s 90’s last set with 100’s

Dumbbell flys 4 sets of 12 or peck deck flys depending on if it’s being used. Same set 4 of 12

Body weight Dips- to failure 4 sets

Biceps-

Seated preacher curls with either EZ bar or straight bar. Try to go as heavy as possible while retaining good form. 4 sets to failure usually 12 12 10 8-10
Generally don’t add weight 70 Ibs

Incline dumbbell curls 4 sets of 12 25 Ibs

Standing straight bar curls 4 sets of 12 60 Ibs

End with seated straight bar pull downs 5 of 12

Tuesday-

Back-

Wide grip over hand pull ups 4 sets to failure

Bent over barbell rows wide over hand grip 4 of 12

Close grip under hand rows 4 of 12

Chest supported dumbbell rows 4 of 8-10

Seated wide grip cable pull downs 3 of 10

Straight arm cable pull downs 3 of 10

Shoulders-

Seated barbell shoulder press 4 of 10

Seated dumbbell shoulder press 4 of 10

Strict side lateral raises 5 of 12

Usually some SS with straight arm raises

Triceps- body weight dips 4 sets to failure

Laying down skull crushers 4 of 12

Cable Rope overhead extension 4 of 12 last to failure

Cable over hand pull downs 4 of 12

Rope pull downs 4 of 12

Legs-

Barbell Squats 5 of 10 usually 225 Ibs sometimes 275 but during my cut 225 is where I’m living. Try to go as low as possible

RDL’s 205 Ibs 4 of 10

Leg extensions 5 sets start at 20-15-12-10-8 increase weight every set

Leg curls 4 of 12-15

Seated Calf raises 4 sets to failure

I then keep this same routine per muscle the rest of the week. I think I have a bit of autism because it’s very hard for me to vary off this workout. I might mix in a machine if the gym is packed but I generally stick to this routine.

Barbell Squats 5 of 10 usually 225 Ibs sometimes 275 but during my cut 225 is where I’m living. Try to go as low as possible

RDL’s 205 Ibs 4 of 10

Leg extensions 5 sets start at 20-15-12-10-8 increase weight every set

Leg curls 4 of 12-15

Seated Calf raises 4 sets to failure

I then keep this same routine per muscle the rest of the week. I think I have a bit of autism because it’s very hard for me to vary off this workout. I might mix in a machine if the gym is packed but I generally stick to this routine.

I've got a fair bit to say about this. I guess firstly, how is it working? Can see something like this being ok in the short term when you are new to training.

Can't see anyway your shoulders won't be stuffed after a while though. 2 x incline presses on Monday and then 2 x shoulder presses on Tuesday. Then you do that later in the week too.

There is also a balance issue between days 1 and 2. Doing back shoulders and tri's all in one day doesn't make sense compared to chest and bi's.

Biggest issue though is that your day 2 is possibly the highest volume session I have ever seen in my life ever including people who only train 4 days a week. 6 x back, 4 x shoulders and 5 x tri is just crazy!!! And you do dips for a second time. If someone did a bro split and did 6 back exercises alone in a session I'd say that's a waste of time.

Your leg day looks pretty spot on though. I wonder if that is more coincidence due to focusing more on upper body than good leg planning.

I go very intense in the gym but I also decrease weight to hit sets if need be. I’m definitely 70/30 upper dominant strength and size wise. I work my legs so much but genetically I was just not born with much size in my lower half. Upper half though I can generally power through some intense lifts. Relative to the weight I’m pushing. I mostly do the 6 day split though just because I love being at the gym. I probably should take another rest day but it’s my favorite thing to do

I’m a fan of a 6 day split but 3 on 1 off. Also need to manage total volume. Would look to keep volume consistent over the week and make sure recovery is still priority

Nothing wrong with 6 days a week with the right split and right volume per session. Just as long as you're aware that with sessions that long, you are likely hurting your gains.

I appreciate that. I’m not going to lie to you, being in week 5 of my cut this week started great but my past 2 lifts were pretty off. Also my energy in general took a nose dive this week. What would you recommend?

 

[LevButlerov]

I’m 5 weeks into my cut. I started my cut immediately after my bulk where I was running 500 mg of test with .5 mg of Reta. I dropped to 350 mg test for the first 2 weeks of the cut and increased my Reta to 2 mg weekly. Now I’m currently at 250 mg test cyp and 3 mg Reta. I plan on staying at 3 mg of Reta as long as possible as it is working amazing. I would like to lower my test these final 8 weeks to TRT levels to give my body a break. Do you think that’s needed?

Also blood work wise I plan on getting my first panel ever tomorrow. But that’ll just be a basic lipid etc test through Kaiser. Do you have any recommendations on 3rd party hormone blood test agency’s. I found a test for $229 through Quest I might just do that.

I think you need at least 16 weeks on cycle before dropping back to TRT @Kingofspades712
and you should get Quest testing they are fine

I am very tempted to add a pre mixed cut stack for the final 4-6 weeks of my cut.

It’s the
50 mg/ml test prop
50 mg/ml tren A
50 mg/ml masteron

Was thinking of running 250 mg of this weekly.
Being I’m already running Cyp for High TRT should I continue this or would it be dumb mixing cyp and prop?

this is a good mix but im not a big fan of mixes, what brand is this?

A typical workout for me currently

Monday

Chest

Incline bench - 5 sets of 10-12 focusing on good form. 3 second negatives let rest completely on my chest before pushing up. 185 Ibs move up to 205

Dumbbell incline 4 sets of 10. 80’s 90’s last set with 100’s

Dumbbell flys 4 sets of 12 or peck deck flys depending on if it’s being used. Same set 4 of 12

Body weight Dips- to failure 4 sets

Biceps-

Seated preacher curls with either EZ bar or straight bar. Try to go as heavy as possible while retaining good form. 4 sets to failure usually 12 12 10 8-10
Generally don’t add weight 70 Ibs

Incline dumbbell curls 4 sets of 12 25 Ibs

Standing straight bar curls 4 sets of 12 60 Ibs

End with seated straight bar pull downs 5 of 12

Tuesday-

Back-

Wide grip over hand pull ups 4 sets to failure

Bent over barbell rows wide over hand grip 4 of 12

Close grip under hand rows 4 of 12

Chest supported dumbbell rows 4 of 8-10

Seated wide grip cable pull downs 3 of 10

Straight arm cable pull downs 3 of 10

Shoulders-

Seated barbell shoulder press 4 of 10

Seated dumbbell shoulder press 4 of 10

Strict side lateral raises 5 of 12

Usually some SS with straight arm raises

Triceps- body weight dips 4 sets to failure

Laying down skull crushers 4 of 12

Cable Rope overhead extension 4 of 12 last to failure

Cable over hand pull downs 4 of 12

Rope pull downs 4 of 12

Legs-

Barbell Squats 5 of 10 usually 225 Ibs sometimes 275 but during my cut 225 is where I’m living. Try to go as low as possible

RDL’s 205 Ibs 4 of 10

Leg extensions 5 sets start at 20-15-12-10-8 increase weight every set

Leg curls 4 of 12-15

Seated Calf raises 4 sets to failure

I then keep this same routine per muscle the rest of the week. I think I have a bit of autism because it’s very hard for me to vary off this workout. I might mix in a machine if the gym is packed but I generally stick to this routine.

I see the volume but dont see weights much and you need to rotate routine every 2 weeks for max gains

 

[Kingofspades712]

I think you need at least 16 weeks on cycle before dropping back to TRT @Kingofspades712
and you should get Quest testing they are fine

Thanks I’ll probably just go with quest. I was cycling 500 mg of test for 16 weeks before I started this cut. So basically I’ve been on cycle for exactly 20 weeks. Just dropped to 250 mg this past week

20 weeks i fine to drop but drop to sports TRT 300mgs and lets get a test up

 

[Ulter]

Just caught I said I want to get to 7-9% by June 1st I meant July 1st.

I think your goals are definitely within reach especially the way you're setting up things. I think that you'll have great success. @Kingofspades712

What’s up guys. My brother introduced me to this site last week. Been enjoying reading through all of the threads. New to posting here and honestly pretty new to really taking bodybuilding seriously, so figured I’d introduce myself and share what I’ve been running and what my goals are. I’ve been learning a ton lately and this lifestyle has honestly become an obsession in the best way possible.


34 years old
6’0”
Currently 176 lbs


Little background — I messed around with gear twice in my early 20s. Ran test once and tren once, both short 8 week runs. After that life happened and I basically stopped lifting seriously for almost 10 years.


About 8 months ago I got back into the gym and completely fell in love with the process again.


Current body fat is probably somewhere around 11-14%. My Hume scale has been reading between 10.3-10.6% this week but I know those aren’t perfectly accurate.


Current goal is getting down to around 7-9% body fat by June 1st. That’ll finish off a 12 week cut for me.


Right now I’m 5 weeks into the cut.


Current cycle:

• 250 mg Test Cyp weekly
• 2 pins per week
• Retatrutide 3 mg weekly
• 2 pins weekly
• Cardarine 10 mg daily

Before this cut I ran a 16 week bulk at around 500-600 mg Test Sust.


Started the bulk around 164 lbs and got up to 198 at my heaviest.


Once I started cutting and the initial water weight dropped, I went from around 185 down to my current 176.


Diet has been extremely structured during this cut:

• 185-200g protein daily
• 40-50g fats
• Rest of calories from carbs

Calories:

• 1800-2000 on regular training days
• 1900-2200 on leg days
• 1800-1900 on rest days

Protein and fats stay pretty consistent. Mostly just manipulating carbs depending on output and training.


Supplements are basic:

• Men’s multivitamin
• Krill oil

So far I haven’t had any nipple sensitivity or gyno issues whatsoever.


One thing I know I need to improve on is bloodwork. I’ve honestly always been the type to avoid doctors, but I know that’s stupid if I’m going to take this seriously long term. I already scheduled a basic panel through Kaiser and I’m planning to get full hormone bloodwork through a third party as well.


Progress so far has honestly been insane for me. I started this whole thing pretty lean but definitely skinny-fat with very little muscle maturity.


For work I’m a union drywall foreman, so I burn a ton of calories every day on the job, but I’m still training hard 6 days a week for around 1.5 hours per session.


Current split:
Monday — Chest/Biceps
Tuesday — Back/Shoulders/Triceps
Wednesday — Legs
Thursday — Rest
Friday — Chest/Shoulders
Saturday — Back/Arms
Sunday — Legs


I’d appreciate any advice from some of the more experienced guys here. I genuinely love this lifestyle already and I know I’ve barely scratched the surface when it comes to learning.


Current plan is dropping down to 200 mg Test Cyp this week and cruising/cutting until July 1st.


After that I’m thinking about doing a lean rebound bulk for around 16 weeks. Possibly:

• 400 mg Test
  with either:
• NPP
  or
• Primo

Would definitely appreciate some insight there from guys who’ve run either.

Good job on this workout split. @Kingofspades712 it actually looks really good. I like that you're resting on Wednesday in the middle of the week.

Thanks man I just try to have fun while lifting. I’m not saying i hit those reps complete every time every day but that’s what I generally strive for. This past week I’ve definitely felt the fatigue more from this 800-1000 cal deficit

@Kingofspades712 excellent job to start off this log on the first page. Lots of good things happening here. I see more and more people using RETA.

Reta really helps to stay on track on a cut. Just the ease of food noise alone is huge. But there’s tons of benefits Reta delivers. Cures fatty liver, from what I’ve heard. Burns visceral fat.

 

[Kingofspades712]

Ended up turning around a shitty day into a decent refeed day.

Started out with two slices of mountain mikes pizza on my lunch break (first real cheat meal in 5 weeks)
Couldn’t turn down free pizza.

Followed that up with my real lunch- Greek yogurt blueberries and honey w a 43 G protein shake.

Pre work out meal- was feeling lethargic as fuck so I had 2 servings of frosted mini shredded wheat w milk.

Chest day started great. 4 sets of 10 on incline bench.

Moved to incline dumbbell bench, completed first set, heart skipped a beat. Thought I was having a heart attack. Walked around the gym for 5 min until I realized I was being a paranoid bitch. Once I collected myself I actually had a decent chest lift.

Wife cut my work out short asking me to come home.

Post workout meal- not something I’m proud of. Bought a 15.99 loaded baked potato 3 in n out patties plain. Thought I was going to just throw away the day and eclipse 3k calories but Reta had other plans. The cravings were there but I could only get down 3 bites of the potato and 1 full patty.

Ended up eating about 20 ounces of mango, watermelon, and strawberries w some more Greek yogurt. Now I’m probably about to finish my night with 2 scoops of iso protein.

I usually track my macros completely but today wasn’t my best.

Calories somewhere between 2200-2400

Protein 180ish g

Carbs 250-295 g

Fat 65- 75 g

Bros, you look good if you ask me. I like the setup overall and I like that you are keeping the dosages very moderate. I would actually recommend you do NPP and primo together instead of picking. @Kingofspades712

week 6 progress pic. Going on 6 weeks into cut. 174 pounds. Still running 300 mg Test cyp weekly. 3 mgs of Reta and just added in 1 mg of Tirz. Also running 10 mg of cardarine daily with 5 mg of cialis pre workout.

try cycling the calories then, if you're going to eat in a deficit.

Bros, I hear you on that. You can take a look at anavar. It's very similar.

Yep it does a lot of things that people don't realize. Even things for the brain.

Thank you man! So far feeling great

This is my current pin schedule, compounds, and dosages for the next 3-4 weeks. Everything will stay the same but I’ll be adding 100 mg of Tren A, 100 mg Masteron and 100 mg of test prop bringing my overall weekly test up to 400 mg. I’ll be running this for the final 6-8 weeks of my cut.

Any suggestions on keeping prolactin in check. I’ll be getting my first bloods this week. Hopefully results by end of the week. Curious what my E2 levels are at

try p5p to start you try it?

 

[Kingofspades712]

try p5p to start you try it?

I haven’t tried it. Should I start taking it now before I ever start Tren? I just changed my pin schedule to Test every day instead of twice a week. And I’m planning on doing the same with masteron and Tren in a few weeks. Still just keeping it to around 400 mg of test weekly and 100 mg of masteron and tren. Not trying to go too crazy. Just want to dry out a bit to end my cut and really get that shredded look lol

 

[Kingofspades712]

I also will be adding 25 mg of Anavar daily

Week 6 progress.
Still on 400 mg test 3 mg Reta 1 mg Tirz. Pinning Test Cyp daily.

Trying to decrease my workload and avoid over training
Calories are still the same just aiming for 1-2 pounds of weight loss a week.

Chest and Biceps today (Apartment complex gym so somewhat limited on weight and equipment)

-Incline Dumbbell press 3 sets. reps of 20 - 20- 16
-Cable Flys high to low 3 sets to 15
-Cable flys low to high 3 sets to 15. Really focusing on the squeeze.

-Incline dumbbell curls 4 sets. Reps 15 increased weight by 10. To failure and again to failure
-Single arm preacher curls 3 sets to 10

I had an unreal pump this workout for how little I did relative to what I have been doing set wise.
Going forward I’m really going to try to keep all of my workouts similar to this workload especially during this calorie deficit

Honeycomb and iso protein shake haha. And honestly idk if it’s just in my head but adding the Tirz has really rounded out this cycle for me. Tirz makes me less anxious, less stressed. I’ve been told it’s due to inflammation but like I said maybe it’s just a placebo effect. Food noise wise it has helped a ton. I haven’t been craving shitty ass food like I was on just Reta.

Thank you man. I actually found the honeycombs at Target of all places I think $9.99 for 5 chunks easy 20 g of fast carbs to add to the pre workout. Regular honey is probably more efficient lol but I like the primal aspect of eating full honeycomb

6 weeks into the cut now. Started around 185 and woke up at 174 this morning. Goal is still somewhere in that 12-16 week range depending how lean I can realistically get while holding onto size and performance.

Current setup:

• 350 mg test cyp weekly
• 3 mg Reta weekly
• Added 1 mg Tirz weekly recently

Honestly the Tirz addition has felt really good so far. Cravings are noticeably lower and the biggest thing I’ve noticed is stress/anxiety seems calmer overall. Appetite suppression isn’t insane or anything, but it definitely takes the edge off the constant food thoughts during an aggressive cut.

I think I mentioned before but I switched to pinning my test daily rather than twice a week. Now doing 50 mg every morning right when I wake up right into the ass cheek. Honestly I feel fucking amazing doing this. Also I can really feel the cardarine kicking in. My workouts have been unreal this week.

Today was back / shoulders / tris:

Pull ups
3 sets
15-12-8

Wide grip overhand barbell rows
2 sets
12-10

Close underhand grip barbell rows
2 sets
12-10

Seated row machine

Workout is way too much for me but I've said that already.

Looking good mate!

Workout is way too much for me but I've said that already.

I’m trying to tone it down but I actually wanted to stay longer and hit more stuff I was drenched in sweat too. I also hung drywall all day too before my lift

 

[Kingofspades712]

Currently 2 weeks out from my original goal date of hitting 8% BF. Realistically I’m probably sitting somewhere around 9-11% right now depending on lighting/fullness/etc. Either way I’m definitely the leanest I’ve ever been in my life.

Weight loss has been extremely consistent. I’m averaging almost exactly 2 pounds per week. Last two mornings I was 174.3 and this morning I woke up at 173.5.

Started this cut around 195. After the initial water/glycogen dump I was probably more realistically around 187-ish actual starting weight.

What’s been crazy is visually I feel like I’ve held onto almost all my muscle. My wife even keeps saying I look bigger somehow which either means the recomp is working or she’s just trying to butter me up lol.

Originally my goal was just to hit 8% before our Disneyland/beach vacation because I wanted to look absolutely fucking shredded for once in my life. But honestly I’m enjoying this process so much that I’m planning to continue the cut another 4 weeks after that original end date and really see how far I can push it.

For the final 4 week push I still plan on implementing very low daily doses of Tren, Masteron, and Anavar while continuing the same 350 mg/week of Test.

After that I’ll probably go into a coast/recovery mode for 8-12 weeks before another serious bulk phase.

The Tirz has been huge for controlling the mental side of dieting. My sugar cravings are substantially lower now. The Reta honestly feels like a fucking best friend that always has your back. The fat burning properties from it are wild.

Best part is I still feel good. Workouts are still strong. Strength is still climbing. I actually bumped carbs and calories UP slightly because work has been getting brutal again and I’m wearing my bags more for this final push on the project.

Turns out hanging 12’ sheetrock all day is a fucking cheat code for burning fat.

Training update from today.


Went back to more of a PPL style setup again and focusing mainly on the 12-15 rep range right now. Recovery has actually been surprisingly solid considering how aggressive the cut has been.


Today was push day:

2 sets flat barbell bench
2 sets incline barbell bench
3 sets seated barbell push press
5 sets dumbbell lateral raises
3 sets incline supported rear delt raises
3 sets pec deck chest flys
3 sets cable overhead tricep extensions
2 sets straight bar pushdowns
2 sets cable rope pushdowns with extension

[Kingofspades712]

Welp I’m going to continue this log through my cut. I’ll be entering week 8 of what was originally planned as a 12–16 week run. Still haven’t fully decided yet but most likely pushing the full 16.


Down to 171 now and honestly thinking I’ll see 170 on the scale tomorrow morning. When I first started this cut I thought I’d be absolutely shredded around 168, but now that I’m actually getting leaner I’m realizing true single digit BF% might realistically put me closer to 160. Funny how your perspective changes once you actually get lean enough to see what’s really there.


The good news is I’m still holding onto pretty much all of my muscle visually. Strength is still solid, pumps are still nasty, and the look is getting sharper week by week. Delts and arms are staying full while the waist keeps tightening up.


Current protocol is still:

• 350 mg Test weekly
• 3 mg Reta weekly
• 1 mg Tirz weekly

Energy honestly still feels surprisingly good considering how aggressive the cut has been, especially with construction work burning calories all day on top of training.


Meals today:

• 2 cups low fat Greek yogurt
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 serving raw honey
• 1 scoop ISO100
• 2 servings Raisin Bran
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 Honeycomb chunk
• 1 scoop ISO100
• 8 oz chicken thighs
• 1 cup white rice
• Homemade protein ice cream

Leg day today:

• Barbell squats — 4 sets of 8
• RDLs — 4 sets of 10
• Leg extensions — 4 sets of 20 (last set to failure)
• Hamstring curls — 3 sets of 15
• Seated calf raises — 4 sets to failure

Still pushing hard. We’ll see where the next few weeks take me. Cheers to hitting 168 by next Friday!! These pics are taken at 9 pm tonight after a day of eating I’ll post fasted morning pics tomorrow

Looks shredded bro! This is how I want to look come summer

 

[Ohdamn]

Welp I’m going to continue this log through my cut. I’ll be entering week 8 of what was originally planned as a 12–16 week run. Still haven’t fully decided yet but most likely pushing the full 16.


Down to 171 now and honestly thinking I’ll see 170 on the scale tomorrow morning. When I first started this cut I thought I’d be absolutely shredded around 168, but now that I’m actually getting leaner I’m realizing true single digit BF% might realistically put me closer to 160. Funny how your perspective changes once you actually get lean enough to see what’s really there.


The good news is I’m still holding onto pretty much all of my muscle visually. Strength is still solid, pumps are still nasty, and the look is getting sharper week by week. Delts and arms are staying full while the waist keeps tightening up.


Current protocol is still:

• 350 mg Test weekly
• 3 mg Reta weekly
• 1 mg Tirz weekly

Energy honestly still feels surprisingly good considering how aggressive the cut has been, especially with construction work burning calories all day on top of training.


Meals today:

• 2 cups low fat Greek yogurt
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 serving raw honey
• 1 scoop ISO100
• 2 servings Raisin Bran
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 Honeycomb chunk
• 1 scoop ISO100
• 8 oz chicken thighs
• 1 cup white rice
• Homemade protein ice cream

Leg day today:

• Barbell squats — 4 sets of 8
• RDLs — 4 sets of 10
• Leg extensions — 4 sets of 20 (last set to failure)
• Hamstring curls — 3 sets of 15
• Seated calf raises — 4 sets to failure

Conditioning sharpening hard bro, holding size while getting seriously lean now! Those abs!

Nice workout there mate. Good selection of exercises. Looking awesome in the photos too!

 

[Grumpy]

Great training session
Looking lean and hard

 

[Kingofspades712]

After 8 weeks of cutting- 6’1 - 168 pounds. 195 when I began.

The dance with the devil begins.

For the remainder of the cut my cycle will be:

- 10 mg Tren pinned daily
- 300 mg Masteron weekly
- 450–600 mg Test C weekly depending on aromatization
- 50 mg Anavar daily split into 2 doses
- 20 mg Cardarine pre workout
- 5 mg Cialis pre workout
- 3 mg Reta weekly
- 1 mg Tirz weekly

I’ll be running this stack for 6 weeks to really put the finishing touches on this cut.

The goal now is simple: preserve every ounce of muscle while peeling off the final layer of fat. Conditioning is starting to get nasty, strength is still climbing, and visually I look bigger despite being down over 20 pounds from the start.

Training stays high intensity. Cardio stays minimal. Food stays locked in.

Time to suffer a little and see what’s really underneath.

lean and ripped I think you dial in harder lets really rip you up, and you have that stage look already tbh @Kingofspades712

Good or bad idea to up my calories to around 2400-2600 rather than 1900-2100 like it’s been? I almost feel like I was starting to lose weight a bit too fast.

I think its a good idea to cal up, you have the size and cuts to get food up and stay lean @Kingofspades712

Glycogen is one hell of a thing.


Upped my carbs and weighed about 5 pounds heavier this morning. Back up to 174 from 169. Thought mother fucker I took a step back. But my Hume scale actually had me at my lowest BF% yet at 9.8%. Also had me gaining 2 pounds of lean mass up to 160.1 from 158.

I know these scales aren’t perfectly accurate, but honestly I think they’re decent for tracking trends. My workout today was insane. Almost felt like one of my bulk lifts again. Definitely think the added carbs played a huge role and I’m finally starting to feel the Anavar and Tren come alive a bit.

I’m getting really excited for these next 6 weeks. I think I found my sweet spot around 2400–2700 calories a day. With my workload, training intensity, and 3 mg of Reta weekly, I still think I’ll be steadily dropping body fat while looking much fuller and performing way better in the gym.

Food Today

upping carbs is a good thing you'll grow and get thicker this way and fill out! you look amazing in pic.

Holy fuck.

This entire year I’ve worked legs twice a week. Heavy Barbell Squats/ Heavy RDL’s / Leg press/ Leg extension/ hamstring curls. Rinse. Repeat. Legs grew. Had some decent lifts too but holy mother fuck. Today I was forced to work out at my apartment gym. Only dumbbells up to 50 pounds.

I almost saw my maker. Bulgarian split squats. Walking lunges. Dumbbell RDL’s. Goblet squats. All work outs I watched my wife do and laughed at had me barely able to walk out of the gym. Best leg lift I’ve had this year.
