Approved Log First Testosterone Cycle Log

[ballin2504]

Hey guys! After multiple urologist visits, bloodwork consistently showing testosterone levels between 300-400 ng/dl, experimenting with SARMs, and extensive research, I'm finally ready to begin my first REAL cycle. Initially, my doctor was dismissive and didn't provide the support I needed, which led me to a men's health clinic. They prescribed Clomid, which unfortunately caused blurry vision as a side effect. Now I'm on HCG and feeling better mentally. While it's beneficial to have the prescription, pharmacy prices are $200, so I'll primarily be using more affordable sources like Napgear moving forward. My goal is to both gain a lot of muscle and maintain a high healthy testosterone level.

Stats:

• Age: 20
• Height: 6'0" ft (183 cm)
• Weight: 173 lbs (78.5 kg)
• Body Fat: Approximately 15-18%
• Goal: 10 Pounds of lean muscle mass increase, Improved strength, and reducing current body fat levels.

Cycle Details:

• Duration: 8-12 weeks
• Bloodwork: Pre-cycle baseline established; follow-up bloodwork planned may 30th, follow up w clinic and post-cycle.

Cycle Breakdown:

• Testosterone Enanthate: 100-200 mg/week (split into two injections, Monday & Thursday)
• HCG: 300 IU, three times per week (To maintain testicular function)
• Arimidex 0.25-0.5mg if needed, currently experincing water retention and slight gyno on HCG mono.
  PCT
• Clomid: Have prescription on hand, Due to vision side effects I'm planning to try get Enclo/Tamoxifiene. Two weeks post-cycle, duration of 4 weeks (50mg/day first two weeks, then 25mg/day).

Supplement Stack:

• NAC (600 mg/day)
• Creatine
• Boron
• D3+K2
• Omega-3 Fish Oil
• Cialis 5mg (Pre-workout/When needed)
• Trazadone (Sleep)

Diet Plan:
Diet is currently my weakest part, I don't count calories and just eat lots of meat and carbs at a surplus while trying to keep sugars/fats/unhealthy foods at minimum, ocassionaly letting myself have a snack or two.
1g of protein per pound of weight.

• Primary protein sources: chicken, lean beef, eggs, whey protein
• Carbs: rice, mashed potatoes, oats, fruits, macaroni,spaghetti
• Healthy fats: avocados, olive oil, nutswr

Training Plan:
Following a PPL/Upper-Lower hypertrophy-focused split focused on HIIT, cardio for 30-45 minutes 3-4 time a week.

My goals for the cycle is to Build lean muscle mass effectively, reduce body fat and avoid excessive water-weight, keep my clinic out of this but "use" them if needed. I would love to hear feedback from you guys, especially around managing timing with my upcoming 2.5-week trip abroad at the end of June. I'm considering either pausing mid-cycle or sneaking oil into an HCG vial. Also, my clinic has bloodwork scheduled for May 30th, and I want to see how starting test affect the results.

@impaccablespeck nice work man. Can’t wait to follow along

Some quick starting point pics. Haven’t started cycle yet, just wanted to give a baseline for now, appreciate all the feedback so far!

You look good, base is strong I can tell you've tried and we can grow on this base easy. you'll really thicken if you eat and we track nutrition and training. @impaccablespeck

Log update: The past 3 days I’ve been feeling a bit weird so I took a rest day followed by an upper chest abs and rear delta workout, yesterday I hit a nice arm day where I utilized the V-bar for tricep pushdown, and baysian curls for biceps. Love these 2 new exercises for bi&tri.
For food I’ve been trying to lose fat and so I’ve been hitting 200-300cal cardio sessions at the end of my workouts which are usually just an incline treadmill or some jogging.
Meals have been also more consistent with calorie tracking but mainly focusing more on protein I made sure I hit 170-180 grams every day and I wasn’t starving myself but definitely eating less.

@impaccable i'm not a fan of calorie counting myself. i think it can do a lot more harm than good in a lot of situations

I’m on 2nd week of my cycle and wanted to share some initial impressions, I’ve started my cycle at 160mg a week split into 2 doses ( so still in TRT area but decided to be safe and test my reaction, source quality etc.. ) on the end of week 1 I definitely begun to feel physical changes especially more leaness, I was in this bathroom that had some good lighting so I took some pics no pump for the update.

I feel like Arms and abs definitely more defined.

you haven't updated us in a month bro why? @impaccablespeck
no diet no training nothing
you do look leaner but hard to say, you need more mass and more calories and protein from the look
