Howdy all.
I'm about a week away from starting my cycle, so I thought I'd kick off my log a bit early.
Now, a quick heads-up—I’m known for going MIA sometimes, thanks to my ADHD. I tend to forget to post updates, but I’ve set a reminder in my calendar to update daily, so fingers crossed!
For those who don’t know me or haven’t seen my past logs, here’s a quick recap:
Age 40
Training History: On and off for years, but only really committed in the past 2 years.
Weight Loss: Started at 106kg, now just under 90kg—lost around 16kg this year.
Sobriety: 240 days sober! I was/ am a binge drinker all my life but went cold turkey at the start of this year.
Body Fat: 15.7%
TRT: On 150-175mg a week, been on TRT for a few years. I’ve done cycles with just Test and Anavar in the past few years (did bigger ones back in my 20s).
Injuries:
Shoulders: I’ve got issues with frozen shoulders, and I get some nasty pinching feelings during overhead presses or chest flys—basically anything that involves shoulder extension.
Knees: Two bad knees, always in pain. Had the basic tests done, but they couldn’t find the issue, so it’s been a challenge trying to go up in weight.
Had a few comments in past logs that I should be lifting heavier weights. But I just cant so weights will be low
Training & Coach:
I’ve got a coach now who’s done some amazing work with me over the past 8 weeks. He doesn’t let me get away with any of my usual BS excuses, which is exactly what I need. A lot of people wouldn’t like his approach, but it works for me. The goal was to strip away fat, and we’ve done that. Now it’s time to lean bulk. He trains award-winning bodybuilders and has won many awards himself. He also understands blood work, which was a key factor for me when choosing to work with him.
Upcoming Cycle: (all supplied by Sassy’s Pharmaceuticals)
Test E: 500mg
Deca: 200mg
Masteron: 100mg
I’ve got all the necessary support items as well.
Diet:
Still waiting on the full diet plan, but during the cutting phase, I’ve been sticking to these 4 simple meals:
1. Meal 1: Lean mince (200g), asparagus, avocado
2. Meal 2: Chicken, greens, avocado
3. Meal 3: Chicken, greens, rice
4. Meal 4: Salmon, greens, sweet potato, banana
Have I stuck to this 100% of the time? Nope, but I’ve been way better than ever before. The more I see the difference, the more motivated I am to stick to it.
Training:
I’m currently on a 5-day split, but this could change, so I’ll update if it does. We’ve been focusing on supersets, range of motion, and tempo. Some workouts take 4 seconds to complete a rep, making sure the weight isn’t too heavy but that I’m getting full range and control while still pushing myself.
Going out for one last big dinner with the GF on Saturday night because come Sunday, it’s back to going hard!
