Good call! I used to love morning Cardio, work has prevented me from getting it in, I need to make the time.
your bloods are pretty good bro @Mucka RBC a bit high i think you should donate a bit of blood
when was the last time you donated?
Hey bro! Thanks and noted that for sure. I donated that week after seeing, and am doing it basically whenever they let me
be interested to see it on my new bloods I’ll get some soon.
@Mucka Good to have you here, bro! Sharing your journey is what it's all about. Sounds like you've been through a lot with the TRT, injury, and UGL issues. Glad you're bouncing back.About me:
Good day all, first time ever doing something like this, felt fairly comfortable with the Evolutionary family here and I thought it would be beneficial to share my journey and collaborate with you all on my journey as I seek fitness and health advice.
Stats/History
Started my TRT journey roughly a year ago now, and I had some ups and downs at the start, I finally got a few things dialed and had my E2 under control with the help of some primo which seemed to work well for me and managed my E2 ( I have never taken any AI) and started to really shed some pounds. I blew my MCL out in hockey, which caused a minor setback. With recovery exercises and some peptides I bounced back rather quickly. Also I went through a phase with a shitty UGL supplier and seemed to really mess with my test levels and was very inconsistent and got some pretty bad PIP in some cases.

Bloodwork:
Taken November 15th 2024 I will update very soon. It is kind of shit to get constant bloods in Canada.. open for suggestion on that. Test free is not an option on my bloodwork sheet for example.

• Estradiol 109 pmol/L or 29 pg/ml
• TSH = 6.50 miU/L
• CBC and Diff- I recently donated so this should be lower now - CBC and Diff Link
• Lipids - Lipids Link
Training / Cardio
I recently just finished a PPL program, one of Ryan Humistons. I really enjoyed it and love the data he puts into the programs.
currently I am doing a bro split, as I am hard on myself and feel somewhat too overweight and want to utilize more cardio.
6 days a week training the exercises and body parts often switch days but here is an idea.
Monday- Cardio: Core usually end up doing 45-50 minutes of cardio
Tuesday - Chest: I end up doing about 4 exercises then 20 min of cardio
Wed- Back: Again about 4 exercises depending on time then 20 min cardio
Thursday- Legs: Same as above
Friday: Arms Same
Sat: Shoulders- Same
Sunday- Rest
Diet
Monday-Friday
I am pretty damn consistent with diet, and feel I do not eat enough. The weekend I cook with my wife and we generally keep these meals pretty damn healthy, although I do eat more on these meals.
Meal 1:
• 4 eggs with 1/3 cup egg whites
• 1 deer or elk sausage
• 1/4 cup almond or brasil nuts
• 1 protein bar
• Meal 2:
• Shake after gym
○ 2 scoops protein powder
○ 1/2 cup mixed frozen berry's
○ 1 cup of soy milk
• Meal 3:
• This varies but here are some examples
○ Option #1 - 1/2 pound ground beef with mixed veg, rice and some yam
○ Option #2 - 1/2 pound ground beef with chickpea pasta and veg
○ Option #3 - Chicken breast with vegetables and yam or rice
○ Option #4 - Steak with yams and side salad
Goals / Questions
I get very down on myself and my physique at times, as it seems I fluctuate weight a lot and I get hyper focused on the number that on the scale when all my clothes and my appearance seems to stay the same.
I would like to loose maybe 20 pounds
Should I be looking at an AI ? Or maybe running some primo again? My E2 in my last bloods seems within range but I feel a bit bloated and down on myself again... This time last year I was in better shape 5 months after I started TRT... Which makes me upset and confused. I know it was just less fat.. As I do carry a lot more muscle now.
Love this community, thanks for taking the time to read my log! I will try to update as frequent as possible
@Mucka nice start to the log brother. Can’t wait to watch you grow.

Brother! My apologies was a bit of a disconnect type of trip from the phone! Sorry no food, but here are some vacation shots of a Canadian moose haha. I worked out 5 out of the 7 days. The gym was amazing there, I also played a ton of beach volleyball. Gotta say tan fat looks a lot better lol.
