Approved Log 2026 Health Phase Log - TRT, HGH, Retatrutide cycle

Vboogie · May 26, 2026

May 26th

Health Phase Goals
1. Get all blood markers back in the green - Currently liver enzymes and HDL are the only problem areas. Will be getting bloodwork every 4 weeks.
2. Maintain gains from previous cycle.
3. Looking to drop about 3-5 lbs in next 6-8 weeks, but health goals are the priority.
4. Hoping to wrap this up in 8 weeks and get back into a push phase.

Sleep - Since returning from sailing trip been sleeping long and deep every night. Hoping that trend continues.
Mood - Feeling refreshed having taken almost 10 days off from the gym and strict diet adherence. Already feeling more of the aggression I want in my workouts.
Fasted Weight - 195.4 lbs down from 204.6 lbs. (I am assuming this is from stopping the NPP?)
BP - Morning seeing higher around 125-130/80-85. In the evening i'm seeing 115-118/60-65. This is another area I'm going to work on with cardio.

Current Stack - Pinned Daily

I have not pinned since May 12th and plan on waiting another 2 weeks to start TRT dosages.

Test Cyp 150-200 mg/week (Starting around June 9th, still trying to decide on dosage)
HGH 2 IU at bedtime.
Reta 1.5mg/6 days - may titrate up slightly but I tend to be very sensitive to reta.
Arimidex .25mg daily (will be titrating down, shouldn't need it on TRT)
GHKCU - 2mg/day
BPC-157 500 mcg/day (As needed)
TB-500 2mg 2x / week (As needed)
KPV 500mcg/day (As needed)

Supplements -

Plan around supplements will stay the same as on cycle. May lower fish oil once HDL is in the green.

Super EPA fish oil (5g)
LiverStabil
LipidStabil
Curcumin Phytosome
Advanced Nutrients Multivitamin from Thorne
TUDCA 500mg
Psyllium husk (Yerba)

Macros -

Not exactly sure where my maintenance calories will end up as the gear clears but current estimate is 3200, so plan is to eat 2800 calories and see what my weight does. Focusing on whole foods with the addition of some unsaturated fats from avocados, olive oil and almond butter primarily.

Protein - 236g
Fat - 71g
Carb - 311g
Total Cal - 2822 kcal

Workout

Strategy for working out will remain relatively the same with the addition of some harder cardio.
Split - Push, Legs, Hard Cardio/Core, Pull, Hard Cardio/Core, Repeat.

Changes
1. Heavier focus on Chest, Quads and Back. Will add slightly more volume for each.
2. Trying to really focus on making the reps hard, rather than just adding weight. Doing this through body position/execution, rep speed, depth, volume etc
Where I can use some help
1. I'm really struggling to know if my back exercises are effective, I rarely get a sore back or really feel the muscles engage. I use versa grips where I can and have studied how to properly execute the movements. Not sure if I just need more time and should stay the course of what.

Hoping to wrap this up in 8 weeks and get back into a push phase.

Sleep - Since returning from sailing trip been sleeping long and deep every night. Hoping that trend continues.

Mood - Feeling refreshed having taken almost 10 days off from the gym and strict diet adherence. Already feeling more of the aggression I want in my workouts.

Fasted Weight - 195.4 lbs down from 204.6 lbs. (I am assuming this is from stopping the NPP?)

BP - Morning seeing higher around 125-130/80-85. In the evening i'm seeing 115-118/60-65. This is another area I'm going to work on with cardio.

Current Stack - Pinned Daily

I have not pinned since May 12th and plan on waiting another 2 weeks to start TRT dosages.

Test Cyp 150-200 mg/week (Starting around June 9th, still trying to decide on dosage)

HGH 2 IU at bedtime.

Reta 1.5mg/6 days - may titrate up slightly but I tend to be very sensitive to reta.

Arimidex .25mg daily (will be titrating down, shouldn't need it on TRT)

GHKCU - 2mg/day

BPC-157 500 mcg/day (As needed)

TB-500 2mg 2x / week (As needed)

KPV 500mcg/day (As needed)

Supplements -

Plan around supplements will stay the same as on cycle. May lower fish oil once HDL is in the green.

Super EPA fish oil (5g)

LiverStabil

LipidStabil

Curcumin Phytosome

Advanced Nutrients Multivitamin from Thorne

TUDCA 500mg

Psyllium husk (Yerba)

Macros -

Not exactly sure where my maintenance calories will end up as the gear clears but current estimate is 3200, so plan is to eat 2800 calories and see what my weight does. Focusing on whole foods with the addition of some unsaturated fats from avocados, olive oil and almond butter primarily.

Protein - 236g

Fat - 71g

Carb - 311g

Total Cal - 2822 kcal

Workout

Strategy for working out will remain relatively the same with the addition of some harder cardio.
Split - Push, Legs, Hard Cardio/Core, Pull, Hard Cardio/Core, Repeat.

Changes

Heavier focus on Chest, Quads and Back. Will add slightly more volume for each.

Trying to really focus on making the reps hard, rather than just adding weight. Doing this through body position/execution, rep speed, depth, volume etc

Where I can use some help

I'm really struggling to know if my back exercises are effective, I rarely get a sore back or really feel the muscles engage. I use versa grips where I can and have studied how to properly execute the movements. Not sure if I just need more time and should stay the course of what.

Nice job mixing in the cardio and the core training. @Vboogie I'm a big advocate for hitting the core. That's how you really build a strong abdominal structure.

@Vboogie Bros, pull-ups are a good exercise. You can even do them solo for the entire workout. They'll really help you push yourself hard.

Fasted Weight - 195.4 lbs down from 204.6 lbs. (I am assuming this is from stopping the NPP?)

BP - Morning seeing higher around 125-130/80-85. In the evening i'm seeing 115-118/60-65. This is another area I'm going to work on with cardio.

Current Stack - Pinned Daily

I have not pinned since May 12th and plan on waiting another 2 weeks to start TRT dosages.

Test Cyp 150-200 mg/week (Starting around June 9th, still trying to decide on dosage)

HGH 2 IU at bedtime.

Reta 1.5mg/6 days - may titrate up slightly but I tend to be very sensitive to reta.

Arimidex .25mg daily (will be titrating down, shouldn't need it on TRT)

GHKCU - 2mg/day

BPC-157 500 mcg/day (As needed)

TB-500 2mg 2x / week (As needed)

KPV 500mcg/day (As needed)

Supplements -

Plan around supplements will stay the same as on cycle. May lower fish oil once HDL is in the green.

Super EPA fish oil (5g)

LiverStabil

LipidStabil

Curcumin Phytosome

Advanced Nutrients Multivitamin from Thorne

TUDCA 500mg

Psyllium husk (Yerba)

Macros -

Not exactly sure where my maintenance calories will end up as the gear clears but current estimate is 3200, so plan is to eat 2800 calories and see what my weight does. Focusing on whole foods with the addition of some unsaturated fats from avocados, olive oil and almond butter primarily.

Protein - 236g

Fat - 71g

Carb - 311g

Total Cal - 2822 kcal

Workout

Strategy for working out will remain relatively the same with the addition of some harder cardio.
Split - Push, Legs, Hard Cardio/Core, Pull, Hard Cardio/Core, Repeat.

Changes

Heavier focus on Chest, Quads and Back. Will add slightly more volume for each.

Trying to really focus on making the reps hard, rather than just adding weight. Doing this through body position/execution, rep speed, depth, volume etc

Where I can use some help

I'm really struggling to know if my back exercises are effective, I rarely get a sore back or really feel the muscles engage. I use versa grips where I can and have studied how to properly execute the movements. Not sure if I just need more time and should stay the course of what.

Sleep - Sleep felt good last night, some disturbances due to weather but the hours I am getting are still super solid and refreshing. Waking up feeling ready to go.
Mood - Feeling good today. A little disappointed in the amount of weight coming off and feeling a bit of a drop in strength/endurance in the gym which I'm sure is inevitable coming off Anavar and NPP. Trying to just keep focus on the goal of this phase.

Health Phase Goals

Get all blood markers back in the green - Currently liver enzymes and HDL are the only problem areas. Will be getting bloodwork every 4 weeks.

Maintain gains from previous cycle.

Looking to drop about 3-5 lbs in next 6-8 weeks, but health goals are the priority.

Hoping to wrap this up in 8 weeks and get back into a push phase.

Sleep - Since returning from sailing trip been sleeping long and deep every night. Hoping that trend continues.

Mood - Feeling refreshed having taken almost 10 days off from the gym and strict diet adherence. Already feeling more of the aggression I want in my workouts.

Sleep - Got almost 8 hours of good sleep but still feel like I need a little more. Snuck in a little nap'ish rest time for a half hour or so after work.
Mood - I am feeling a lot more aggression in the gym (in a positive way) and wondering if the Nandrolone dulled that out of me in the previous cycle. Otherwise another standard day nothing to complain about I'm definitely very hungry.. even eating 2800 calories and still losing pretty substantial weight. Going to push up calories a bit until stable then figure out what the deficit needs to be.

Sleep - Got almost 8 hours of good sleep but still feel like I need a little more. Snuck in a little nap'ish rest time for a half hour or so after work.

Mood - I am feeling a lot more aggression in the gym (in a positive way) and wondering if the Nandrolone dulled that out of me in the previous cycle. Otherwise another standard day nothing to complain about I'm definitely very hungry.. even eating 2800 calories and still losing pretty substantial weight. Going to push up calories a bit until stable then figure out what the deficit needs to be.

Sleep - Went to be a bit early and slept damn near straight through alarm, but still very tired.. Probably got 7.5-8 hours. Going to go to bed early again tonight and just turn my alarm off.
Mood - Little irritable from being tired but nothing major. I'm a little in my head over my weight, which continues to drop. I didn't expect to lose 15 lbs almost immediately after stopping gear, but maybe that was just misguided.

Mood - Little irritable from being tired but nothing major. I'm a little in my head over my weight, which continues to drop. I didn't expect to lose 15 lbs almost immediately after stopping gear, but maybe that was just misguided.

Just based on half life estimates for test cypionate. I got bloods in one week scheduled. If I start to feel high e2 symptoms I’ll just use arimidex as needed.

Workout kicked my butt this morning. Heart rate was peaking at 170 BPM on heavy sets, and back to 125 BPM within 3 minutes or so (I think this is a good heart rate recovery?). App is saying we burned over 700 calories. Rest of the day was way lazy.

@Vboogie good job on the bench press and the tricep dips and I like the shoulder press as well. Overall a really good workout split.

Good mix on the exercise is really working your triceps and working your chest. That's a good workout and the volume is good. @Vboogie

Ulter said:
@Vboogie good job on this man. The bench press and seated chest flys look really good. I like the shoulder press as well.

ROIDDERS said:
Tricep dips and shoulder press look fantastic. @Vboogie Bench press also and seated chest flies are also good.

Bros, nice job on this. The bench press and tricep dips look really nice and the overhead tricep extensions are also really cool. I like the decline push-ups as well. @Vboogie

Sleep - Got maybe 7 last night, but quite a few disruptions. Sleep and recovery are definitely declining. Pretty sure it’s the Reta, planning on pulling that.

Mood - I worked from home today so outside the the workout this morning and walking after meals, I was an absolute lazy shit . Feeling a little frustrated because my “health” phase is a little more stressful on me than I anticipated. Looking at reducing some of everything..

Workout kicked my butt this morning. Heart rate was peaking at 170 BPM on heavy sets, and back to 125 BPM within 3 minutes or so (I think this is a good heart rate recovery?). App is saying we burned over 700 calories. Rest of the day was way lazy.

Before you bin the reta completely, dropping the dose right back and moving the shot to the morning sorted the same sleep wreckage for a couple of blokes I follow, you keep the fat loss without the 3am wakeups big dog.

Sleep - Went to be a bit early and slept damn near straight through alarm, but still very tired.. Probably got 7.5-8 hours. Going to go to bed early again tonight and just turn my alarm off.

Mood - Little irritable from being tired but nothing major. I'm a little in my head over my weight, which continues to drop. I didn't expect to lose 15 lbs almost immediately after stopping gear, but maybe that was just misguided.

Fasted Weight - 190 lbs down from 191.6 lbs
