@Golden_Circle Amazing start to log bro........
A bit of a shorter update today:
PEDS: As listed in prior posts

Weigh in: 104.8kg
Sleep: 9.5hrs
Water: 4L
Training: 45mins fasted cardio (AM, brisk walk)
60 mins weightlifting (PM, pull, see below for details)
Pull: Deadlift 5 x 5 130kg
Lat Pull-down 4 x 8 70kg
Seated Row 4 x 8 60kg
Cable Face Pull 5 x 15 30kg
Barbell Curl 5 x 8 40kg
DB Hammer Curl 5 x 8 30kg total
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
Overall a pretty standard day, starting to take it slightly easier in training (ie dropping weight) to provide an opportunity to slightly deload and recover prior to starting the coming cycle next week.
Trying to figure out how much of a calorie surplus to run in the coming cycle, deciding between +300cals or +500cals. If anyone has any guidance as to what may be ideal that would be very welcome.
I’m also considering increasing the HGH dose for the cycle to 4IU, does anyone have any insight as to whether this would provide a significant benefit over 3IU?

@Golden_Circle hell yeah welcome to the forums bro!
Great update again.
I noticed you are eating kangaroo meat, you got pics of it? I wanted to just see what yours looks like. There was discussion back and forth with @Wheelhouse87 about it so I got interested.
It's quite a rich dark meat bro.. I normally find it darker than beef. I think from memory it had slightly higher protein than lean beef but youneither like it or you don'tGreat update again.

Increased calories today and took the day off gym. Weight and strength is stable and so I’m planning to taper down and deload this week while getting some additional calories in (eating at maintenance). Sitting at a good BF% to kick off. Hoping the extra calories and rest act as a primer to recover heading into the cycle next week (provided the care package lands in time).
I’ve sought clarification from an EVO mod and confirmed it’s not a requirement to upload progress pics. As I’ve said, it’s not something I am able to do - but rest assured photos of gear, training and meals are to come.
I am taking progress photos as this log goes on (as I have been for a while) and may consider uploading photos at the 8 week and 16 week mark (with a retrospective start photo) along with the bloods - but that being said, this is TBC and I’ll have to find a way to ensure the photos are anonymous as possible - any recommendations for hiding heavy tattooing would be greatly appreciated.
Hope you’re all well and appreciate you following along!

You should post your photos now @Golden_Circle or this log doesn't count for your log sponsor.

@LevButlerov - apologies, in discussion with my sponsor I was of the opinion that progress photos were an optional part of the logging journey. I won’t have a chance today, but I’ll get some progress photos up tomorrow.
Higher volume workout today, perhaps slightly counterproductive to rest + recovery but I needed to get out some excess energy to help manage my anxiety and stress. No weight/ rep increases since Monday’s push day.
Really looking forward to kicking off this cycle, slightly increasing calories (see: more flavour and texture) and watching my body grow.
Got my pre-cycle bloods done this morning, not sure if I’ll have access to the results to post (they were done through my general doctor) but will keep you all in the loop if there are any stand out issues. This test covered liver function, kidney function, electrolytes, cholesterol, FBC, thyroid function, fasting blood glucose and Hb1ac (note: Testosterone, Estrogen and IGF-1 weren’t included but will be in future tests). Next bloods will be done at the start of week 8 of the cycle.
As a side note, I’m planning to introduce MT2 into my PED regime to get a base tan and some more definition. Does anyone have any experience with MT2?

Diet and training looks good, kangaroo but would love to see a pic of the meat, as there is a whole discussion with @Wheelhouse87 about it in his log.
Yes please share thank you.
MT2 melanotan 2 works, but depends on what you want to use it for. Low dose its fine but if you overdo it, you become a strange color. @Golden_Circle
@Golden_Circle myself and my wife are on MT2 currently and it works great..Diet and training looks good, kangaroo but would love to see a pic of the meat, as there is a whole discussion with @Wheelhouse87 about it in his log.

If using it for the tan just take it slow and you won't get that bad orange fake hue
MT2 works, it's legit.@Golden_Circle myself and my wife are on MT2 currently and it works great..

Also @Golden_Circle my other main tip would be use it just before bed. It does give us the slightest bit of nausea and better not to deal with it from memory we did 1iu every 3 or 4 days for 3 weeks then just 1iu every week there after for maintenance

Alas, the long awaited initial progress photos! I’ve blurred where I’ve needed to and hope it doesn’t impede too much on your ability to gauge my physique. Rest day today, however did 3hrs of cardio on the stairclimber for a bit of a challenge and to clear the head.

@Golden_Circle great pic share bro
thank you, you look great really strong shoulder and arms base and back is wide, we just gotta work on dropping bodyfat hereyou want to cut bodyfat or recomp bro? I think we should cut here looking at your situation
@Npcclassicphysique champ thanks for the feedback and critique man! Ideally I’d like to recomp - so with that in mind do you have any recommendations for training frequency + calorie goals? Generally for a recomp I’d train 4 days a week, increase cardio and eat at maintenance calories with 1g/lb for protein - does that sound like a good plan?
