Approved Log 2025 Growth Phase - Testosterone Masteron HGH Cycle Log

[Golden_Circle]

Hello! I’m Golden_Circle and I’ve recently come on board to work with Notorious Labs ( @bigdawg1 ) for my upcoming cycle.

I’m a 30yr old male, currently weighing in at 105.1kg, approx 15%BF at 6ft2. Goals for this upcoming cycle is gain 4-5kg lean tissue.

I’ve trained on and off for 13 years, and consistently for this past year and a half. I’ve run two test-only cycles (500mg and 750mg/ wk respectively, both for 16 weeks) in this past year and a half with great results and many lessons.

I won’t be including progress photos throughout due to the nature of my work and highly identifiable tattoos over my body. That being said, I will be doing comprehensive bloods at the 8 and 16 week mark.

Current PEDS: Test E @ 250mg/week (Monday/ Thursday schedule)
HGH @ 2IU daily (PM)
Injectable L-Carnitine @ 600mg (pre workout)
Metformin 1000mg
Propanalol 80mg (40mg am/pm)
Telmisartan 80mg

Cycle Plan: 600mg Test E (M/W/F schedule) - provided by Notorious Labs
600mg Mast E (M/W/F schedule) - provided by Notorious Labs

Telmisartan 80mg

Supplements: NOW Red Omega 1500mg

Sleep: Typically 9hrs

Training: 45mins fasted cardio (AM, stairclimber) daily
60 mins weightlifting (PM, push, see below for details) five times weekly (Push/Pull/Legs/Push/Pull)

Diet (quite routine, generally don’t deviate from below):

Meal 2: 1 Avocado, 2 pieces of multigrain bread
Meal 3: 250g kangaroo mince, 50g taco seasoning, Franks Hot Sauce

Meal 5: 200g chicken breast, 1 cup of rice, Franks Hot Sauce

2186 Calories, 235P/ 150C/ 70F

I’m keen to log to improve accountability, receive advice and different perspectives, and tighten consistency. Very grateful for Notorious Labs giving me this opportunity.

Will continue to cruise with this current setup looking to lean out a little to prime myself for the upcoming cycle, and will jump on once the care package from Notorious Labs arrives.

 

[bigdawg1]

Happy to have you on board brother!

Looking forward to helping you smash your goals and follow along your log

Following @Golden_Circle !!
Get some pics of your current physique up!

 

[stevesmi]

Nice to see you starting a log make sure you get us some pictures that really helps

 

[Wootoom]

we definitely need some pictures so we can see where you're at. Please get those up as soon as possible.

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

It's understandable about the tattoos.

You can easily though get them blocked so nobody can see them!

 

[2Thick]

Pictures are definitely a big thing.
But it's understandable, if you don't want to post.

 

[e2]

At least get us some pictures of your meals, then.

That would be great to see that.

[Ulter]

Get some touchdown pictures up. We need to see the gear that you're using.

 

[ROIDDERS]

That's a pretty good cycle. You put together.

600mgs masteron will harden you up!

 

[Golden_Circle]

Thanks for the warm welcome all - just want to reiterate I won’t be uploading progress photos as mentioned in my initial post - sorry to disappoint and I realise this takes away an important point of reference for you all. I would be blurring/ blocking the entirety of my arms/ chest/ stomach/ upper legs if I tried to cover my tattoos to upload.

I will be taking photos of everything else I can - supps, gear, meals and training (where possible). Keep an eye out for these in the weeks to come, in particular the touchdown photos (likely this week all going well).

I’ll take note of the suggestion that aromasin may not be needed - I’ll keep it on hand and should high E2 symptoms crop up/ bloods indicate an AI is needed I’ll use it (and update my log accordingly)

You may notice as the log progresses that there is little deviation from the plan/ routine - I have autism and a (mostly) handy part of this is that I thrive on (and require) routine, structure and repetition. This translates well to bodybuilding and the gym has been transformative for me in terms of building identity, confidence and social skills that I lacked growing up due to my autism.

I’ll log each gym session in more detail come training days, I hope to be logging 5 x week.

As for my day to day, currently it typically looks like:

6am: Wakeup, pin 600mg L-Carnitine and have some preworkout, head to gym

6:15am: 45mins cardio (typically stairclimber)

7:30am: Meal 1 as below, head to work

10:30am: Meal 2 as below

1pm: Meal 3 as below

4:30pm: Meal 4 as below

6/6:30pm: Gym session - weight training on weekdays - 1hr

8pm: Meal 5 as below

9:30pm: pin HGH, have other PEDS and supplements as outlined below. Head to bed.

Current PEDs: Test E @ 250mg/week (Monday/ Thursday schedule)
HGH @ 2IU daily (PM)
Injectable L-Carnitine @ 600mg (pre workout)
Metformin 1000mg
Propanalol 80mg (40mg am/pm)
Telmisartan 80mg

Supplements: NOW Red Omega 1500mg
NOW NAC 2000mg
Premium Supplements Warrior Preworkout
Life Extension Twice-Per-Day Men’s Multivitamin
Melatonin 10mg

Onto todays log (2/2/25)

Weigh in: 104.8hrs
Sleep: 9.5hrs
Water: 4L

Training: 45mins fasted cardio (AM, stairclimber)

Diet:

Meal 1: 60g Bulk Nutrients Protein Matrix, YoPro Vanilla Yoghurt 160g

Meal 2: 1 Avocado, 2 pieces of multigrain bread

Meal 3: 250g kangaroo mince, 50g taco seasoning, Franks Hot Sauce

Meal 4: 60g Bulk Nutrients Protein Matrix, 100g blueberries

Meal 5: 200g chicken breast, 1 cup of rice, Franks Hot Sauce

2186 Calories, 235P/ 150C/ 70F.

I’ve done a daily breakdown of calories and macros - is it preferable for logging purposes to do it for each meal?

If anyone has recommendations for supplements that act as a cycle support I’d love to hear them. Similarly, if anyone can see ways to optimise the way I’m doing things regarding diet, sleep, PEDS or anything else that may be relevant I’m all ears.

Who here gets the Golden Circle movie reference?

We've a TON of cycle support articles, threads and podcasts. Like 100's

Glad to have you on here man. Kill this!!

Welcome


Ive always been interested in trying that bp medication you listed at a low dose, just from everything ive read about it and preventing cardiac stress and high bp while on cycle, seems it would be a good safety protocol to put in place if you cycle.

@Golden_Circle good update, I see kangaroo mince here, and I was just talking about this to @Wheelhouse87 in his log.

Waiting to see on your pic updates.

Welcome

If you're on n2guard, I think saw it in your log, you dont need BP meds. You would be overdoing it. @Noah Wixx

I’ve included three photos of my preworkout stack, ancillaries and general supplements. The small pink top vial next to the L-Carnitine is HGH, and not pictured is my test E (I used the remainder of my last vial today drawing today and Thursdays pin).

You’ll also see I mixed up Telmisartan with Valsartan - my bad! Valsartan is another ARB medication that has very similar properties to Telmisartan. When I brought up Telmisartan with my cardiologist as a preventative tool while use AAS’s, he instead recommended we use Valsartan. I’m not sure of the clinical reasoning however it’s been very useful in meaningfully lowering blood pressure on previous cycles.

@Noah Wixx , were you referring to trying Telmisartan or Propranolol when you said the BP medication? I know N2Guard is good (albeit near impossible to get in Aus) but Telmisartan and Valsartan both have the added benefit of negating the slow enlargement of the right ventricular heart valve that AAS’s cause through a really snazzy remodelling process. This is unique to the medication and something that N2Guard isn’t able to do.

@Mobster , Golden Circle is actually a reference to a brand of juice (as in orange/ apple juice) here in Aus! I have no idea of the movie reference haha
