Approved Log Growth Phase Cycle - Test,Tren, Primo, NPP & HGH

[DonaldPumps]

Hi everyone, this is my first log, sponsored by @notoriouslabs, what a great guy @bigdawg1 , reached out when I expressed interest in logging my growth phase, went through my growth phase plan and sorted me out, massive appreciation and thanks to @bigdawg1 and crew for their trust in me and support for this growth phase.

A bit about myself, I am 37, 5’6 sitting at 85kg with round 18% bf. I’ve been working out since I was 18 years old. Typical fat boy, so most of my formative gym years were spent trying to cut food and fat and manage my food obsession, it wasn’t until I was 25 that I got in touch with a coach and started making progress, understood my body better and built a better relationship with food. I have struggled with food binge and purge a lot and in a better place now in terms of nutrition and food. My obsession with good food is what made me become a chef.

The goal for this cycle is lean gains and to pack on as much muscle as I can with a focus on growing my legs and arms, move into recomp and keep growing. Abs would be nice but that’s not the goal for this year.

This is my first time using notorious labs products. Did my first pin today with Test P and NPP, I don’t like Test P for the pip I used to get with it in the past, but this went in smooth, and I got minimal pip which I’ll run a massage gun over and it’ll sort itself out. Very surprised at how easy it went.

Forgot to mention, the GH is from @Liquid Gold Labs. I’ve been using it for a while now. 2iu am/pm and I can definitely see the benefits. We had a bit of miscommunication and missed a part of my order but they were quick to look into it and send me the missing vials. I’ve got more GH coming tomorrow. Here’s some gear porn for everyone

Today's workout

Back

Pull ups (supposed to be weighted but have a little pain in my shoulder from a previous injury, will work up my way to add weights to this)
4 sets 15/15/12/12

Rack pulls
2*30 KG (warmup sets)
2*40 KG 10/10 reps
2*50 KG 10/8 reps

One arm row
1*30 KG 15 reps
2*35 KG 12 reps
1*37.5 KG 10 reps

Bent over row
1*20 KG 12 reps
2*30 KG 10 reps
Tried 40 Kg but couldn't get a complete ROM so went back to 30 kg and did 10 reps

Reverse hyper extension
10 KG weight on chest 10/10/10/10 reps

Standing calf raise
3 sets AMRAP (did 20 reps or more each sets, no weights)

Seated calf raise
4*20 KG 10/10/10/10 reps

Today's cardio - 20 Minutes on cycle - 130 BPM average
Step count - 9248

Weight moved good, felt very motivated and focussed for the workout, Intra workout was the same at 10g EAAs with 10g glutamine.
Post workout 80g HBCD, 3 scoops protien.

Maybe im too excited to get big, failed a lift today and yesterday, but the pumps are good, feel a bit more agreesive in my workouts, breathing is a bit taxed, water intake was a little above 4 litres today, woke up parched. might look into adding a pinch of pink himayalan salt in the intra workout EAAs to balance electrolytes. Chest is sore, feels good, looks fuller. Back pump was insane today. DMAA could also be the culprit for my messed up sleep last night so didnt take any today. Tomorrow is a AM workout before work, it is shoulder, a bit of cardio and will try and throw a bit of abs in.

2nd meal was 2 scoops of protien, a protien bar and mixed nuts, working lunch so didn't take any pictures.
3rd meal - around 2 hours pre workout was roast pumpkin, potato and onions with beans and 150 grams lamb.
last meal of the day was roast chicken with salad and hummous and garlic dip from the shops. wanted to add some carbs to it but was too tired to cook, had 2 scops of hbcd after it.

Have to mention, now that the reta is weaning off, been craving sweets a little, protien bar felt soo good. I can see the apetite returning. Thursday will be meal prep, making a butter chicken gravy sauce (no oil or butter), i use this sauce to just make the pan seared chicken go down easy. will post the making. Rice with turmeric, cumin and lemon for all carb intake in meals or gluten free pasta.

Hi everyone, this is my first log, sponsored by @notoriouslabs, what a great guy @bigdawg1 , reached out when I expressed interest in logging my growth phase, went through my growth phase plan and sorted me out, massive appreciation and thanks to @bigdawg1 and crew for their trust in me and support for this growth phase.

A bit about myself, I am 37, 5’6 sitting at 85kg with round 18% bf. I’ve been working out since I was 18 years old. Typical fat boy, so most of my formative gym years were spent trying to cut food and fat and manage my food obsession, it wasn’t until I was 25 that I got in touch with a coach and started making progress, understood my body better and built a better relationship with food. I have struggled with food binge and purge a lot and in a better place now in terms of nutrition and food. My obsession with good food is what made me become a chef.

The goal for this cycle is lean gains and to pack on as much muscle as I can with a focus on growing my legs and arms, move into recomp and keep growing. Abs would be nice but that’s not the goal for this year.

This is my first time using notorious labs products. Did my first pin today with Test P and NPP, I don’t like Test P for the pip I used to get with it in the past, but this went in smooth, and I got minimal pip which I’ll run a massage gun over and it’ll sort itself out. Very surprised at how easy it went.

Forgot to mention, the GH is from @Liquid Gold Labs. I’ve been using it for a while now. 2iu am/pm and I can definitely see the benefits. We had a bit of miscommunication and missed a part of my order but they were quick to look into it and send me the missing vials. I’ve got more GH coming tomorrow. Here’s some gear porn for everyone

@DonaldPumps gear porn is looking solid
glad you are working with a good aussie source
always important to keep a great source
