Approved Log First Testosterone Cycle Log

[RoySimpson]

This is my first log, I'm brand new to the forum. If you guys need anymore info please let me know. I tried to pair it down a bit because it already seems like an info overload. I track a lot, been trying to optimize my training for a couple years, so info wise, if you need it I probably have it.

Stats
40yr old
5" 11
176Lbs
12-13% BF
Test C 180mg per week

Running RP app 5 days/week for training. HIIT rowing for 40mins on my 2 off days usually. I work on the tools and I work a lot so my caloric burn and step counts get pretty high at work.

Goals - Running first cycle, staying lean throughout and stacking on 10-15lbs over time. Not in a rush, safety and longevity are my higher priorities. Looking to feel good while training haede. Thinking Primo100 is the way to go.

@BeMe Welcome to the forums! Looks like you've got a good handle on things. Solid training and supplement plan. Smart approach prioritizing health and longevity with your first cycle. Primo is a good choice for lean gains. Keep tracking and optimizing, and you'll crush your goals. Don't hesitate to ask questions!

Ohh ok. Didn't realize I was supposed to log all that pre-cycle. Makes sense tho. I'll get on it.

Anavar at the beginning? Just sublingually as a pre workout?

Start the log as you go of course.

@BeMe anavar kick start cycle 6 weeks, subliqual is fine preworkout 30min.

Oh definitely no hesitation here lol. I joined EVO to learn from those who've walked the road I'm setting down. I'm I big believer in apprenticeships. I'm a quick study and very eager to learn.

Vice versa applies as well. I'm very open to criticism and learning from my mistakes. If you guys spot something I could be doing better please speak up.

Thanks for all the positivity

Thanks Lev, appreciate the guidance. I'll be positing everyday from here on out. Going to make it part of my morning routine to summarize the day before while I eat my breakfast.

Quick history on my training.

I powerlifted for almost 2 years on Evolve AI. Squat and deadlift 2.8x bodyweight, my bench was not great. Ran 4 day weeks but the volume on Evolve AI was killing me, literally. Sometimes 2.5hr sessions with over 30 sets, pre TRT.

Switched to RP app last year and fell in love with hypertrophy training. Actually seeing my body change was great motivation and like Arnold, I felt like I was you know..everyday. I'm one of those science based lifting nerds now, maximizing every rep. In a documentary Phil Heath said "humble yourself, drop the weight, focus on technique and the mind muscle connection". If Phil Heath says it it must work cuz look at the guy. Now no more little injuries all the time and still solid progression.

I don't have time to go to the gym 5 days a week so I built a home gym. Here's some pics for fun and so you guys can see what I'm working with.

Thanks, that means a lot. It's all about function for me, haven't done much to make it look cool. But it works really really well. Been building piece by piece, upgrade by upgrade, over the past few years. At this point it's really dialed in for my training and efficiency.

Log Day 2

Yesterday was a pretty good day. Training was good, energy was up. Last night was an order in night so my macros are a bit off. Went for Greek food and gotta have the rice and potatoes lol.

On the days your carbs this high, cut the fat down to under 80 grams if you can, this way its high protein high carbs but low fat. @BeMe

 

[stevesmi]

looks really good man, keep it up!

 

[BeMe]

Just got back from work. Had to go out and work 4 hours tonight on top of the 8 hours I pulled in the day. Going to sleep in a bit tomorrow morning. Should be good for my recovery.

On the bright side I checked my mailbox and my package arrived from NF. Titan does a great job getting things out quick.

Looks like I'll be starting my 100mg of primo to go with my 200mg of test c tomorrow night. Tomorrow is a cardio day so I guess I'm supposed to hold off on the sublingual anavar til Saturday when I'm back weight training again. Looks like tomorrow night will be my first official cycle day!

Not entire;y convinced by the one arm pull-downs. Often I see very light weights used

I 100% agree on a usual 1 arm pull down, but I have to Rep Aries 2.0 with dual pull down handles. So while they're single arm pulldowns I'm doing both arms at the same time. So having an isometric hold at the stretch on one arm while contracting the other. Feels amazing and my lats light up.

I didn't bother renaming the exercise in my program because like you I'm not a big fan of just a single arm pulldowns either.

I program these a bit lighter though so I can get higher volume in and really focus on the movement. You'll see on my other day I have weighted pull ups where I'm going heavier low volume.

Log Day 3

Long day working yesterday, but my training session inbetween work went pretty good. My back is pretty sore from back training 2 days ago. Ate a bit lower cal and fat yesterday to balance out the gluttony from the day before lol. Tonight will be my first time pinning my primo100. Excited to see what I can do with it.

Bros. Here, that's good. That you found a training style that's working for you and you're getting progression.
