Approved Log My First Testosterone Cycle Log

[haydz]

Hey guys! first time posting on here so apologies if it’s messy, i’m currently on trt

Information:

• Age: 23
• Height: 5’10
• Weight: 99kg
• Body Fat % (estimated): 30%
• Training Experience (in years): 5

Training:

10k steps a day is my main form of “cardio”

Currently following john meadows “Warlock” program (upper/lower split rotating the emphasis on muscle groups each week) usually 3-4 sets 8-12 reps

focusing on progressive over load each workout and it’s been going well so far

also recently started BJJ 2x a week

Diet:

• Daily Caloric Intake: 2200-2400 (cutting rn)

a ball park for the macros:

P:160 C:140 F:60
honestly i only really focus on my calories and protein most of the time.
i eat mostly clean low calorie high protein foods with the occasional snacking on the weekends.

Supplements:
T Cyp 250: 42.5mg 3x weekly at 127.5mg/week

HCG 5Ml: 0.15ml 3x weekly

Anastrozole 1MG: quarter tablet x2 a week

( bloods came back okay so i stopped taking it and switched to 3x weekly injection frequency to see if i even need an AI, waiting a few months to re test bloods and see if it helped)
Magnesium

Blood Work:

Will attach photos of most recent bloods at the end.

I plan to do Pre, Mid and Post blood tests during cycle



Cycle Plan:

• Cycle Goals: Build Muscle or hold onto it, Get leaner, Get stronger or maintain
• Compounds Planned for Use: 300mg of test cyp, Hcg, Anastrozole,
• Dosage and Frequency: Test cyp would be split into 3x injections of 100mg each, hcg will stay the same
• Cycle Length: 12 weeks
• Plan to blast and cruise back to my trt dose of 127mg a week.

(i’m not sure what dose to take for the anastrozole, some guidance would be appreciated!)



Additional Notes/Goals:

i work 12 hour night shifts week on week off, so my week at work my sleep suffers (4-6 hours of sleep)

i think i’m pretty sensitive to E2, when i started my trt dose i built up to 200mg a week still taking quarter a tablet of anastrozole x2 a week and my E2 Came back at 204 and the range is less than 160, lowered my test to 150 mg a week for a few months and it came back at 191, so i lowered all the way down to 127mg of test and its been good at 123 so i removed the AI and increased injection freq to 3x a week to try and reduce taking stuff if i don’t need to, will update in a month

i’ve been on TRT (clinic) for over a year i know i’m quite young but this was a choice i sat on for years dealing with low levels and symptoms and it has completely changed my life for the better.

Currently on a cut (20kg down) so i think it’s better for me to wait until i finish to actually start the cycle right?

also thinking of starting a low dose of sema glutide to help finish off the cut

also any guidance with the anastrozole dosing during the 300mg of test cyp cycle would be appreciated!



Heres my blood work with some pictures i took today too!

@haydz
Welcome to EVO bro.
Are you on doctor TRT? Your pretty young to need TRT.
Your def lower BF than 30%. Prob closer to 20%. Most guys underestimate BF level. LOL
Cycle looks good although you might be better served running 500mg/wk test. If your already taking 175mg/wk going to 300 will prob be underwhelming. Arimidex plan of .25mg x 2/wk is a good start. Keep an eye out for high E symptoms/water retention/BP rise and adjust AI.
Def finish cutting before your cycle starts. Once done cutting work slowly back up to maintenance so you don't rebound hard. Stay there for a few weeks and then start the cycle and start adding cals in.
Will be following. We are all here to help you make the most out of this cycle. Keep the log going with daily updates on training/diet.
Here is a link to my log if you want you can use it as a template.

thanks for the reply bro!
yes it’s doctor prescribed, i tried to avoid trt but ive never felt this good in years so it seems like a net positive tbh
hahah thanks man i think its just the pump, lighting and angle scoring me a few extra points
im only on 127mg a week right now, and was worried about the sides if i jumped straight to 500 so was gonna slowly titrate up, but you have a good point.
Ohh so reverse diet back up, hold it and THEN start the cycle that makes a lot of sense thanks for that!
for ai i would increase it to .25 3x a week instead or even more depending on sides?
thanks for everything ill have a look at your log for some tips cause this is all new to me lol cheers!

@haydz welcome to the EVO family we are very happy to see you share this log.

Cycle
I would usually say 0 arimidex with 125mgs of testosterone
but you're saying at 200mgs your E2 was how much? you sure? do you have those bloods
thats not normal usually
unless you have oversensitive thyroid
@AE1079 can you give your thoughts?

Please share more day to day information with us.

Diet, Training, Cardio
Diet, please share foods and meals and when you eat them, macros would be good
Training, please share actual exercises reps sets and weights, as you go especially get stronger
cardio how much do you do? when etc
If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.

supplements
what digestive supps you use?
digestive enzymes?
multis?
probiotics?
psyllium husk?

pictures
please share pictures of you face blurred as you go for progress every 2 weeks
pics of your meals as you go

@haydz great EVO family will be looking forward to your updates bro

the Bloods
wow, you saying you got these testosterone levels from TRT clinic?
the testosterone vial the clinic gave you or you got it online?
seems very very high for 200mgs testosterone (cyp or enan?)

 

[stevesmi]

Great information to start this log. You're on trt but it is what it is just be aware you'll have to pin yourself once a week for the rest of your life

 

[s.gentz]

thanks for the reply bro!

That's good that you are prescribed. I don't like younger guys going on test when they have good levels still. They just don;t wanna call it what it is. Being on gear.
The ester in the gear will titrate up for you. Your wasting time if you titrate. It will take 4-5 weeks for the test to reach full blood saturation. Goo 500 from the start. You could do .25t arimidex mon/wed/fri to start.
Def reverse diet. Better to go slow and let your body reach homeostasis for a while prior to starting to grow.

 

[Quadsweep]

maybe a little hot on the test
won't hurt to drop it a tad down

 

[BodyMonster34]

bro how much trt you on?
you should do sports trt

 

[JasonPriest]

no way are you 30% body fat
get some better pics without hair. but i would say you were 15%

 

[Austin316]

your body looks very seasoned for a 23 year old
make sure you do this the right way and you continue to update us

 

[sambee38]

yeah no way you're 30% body fat
where in the world did you come up with that number

 

[BookerTNY]

I'm curious to see more about your diet
it's hard for a 23 year old to eat healthy

 

[Arabian]

nice start to this log
i want to see more about your training and diet over the next few weeks

 

[Mobster]

I'll say between 15 and 20%

 

[haydz]

bro how much trt you on?
you should do sports trt

i’m on 127mg per week atm

 

[haydz]

Great information to start this log. You're on trt but it is what it is just be aware you'll have to pin yourself once a week for the rest of your life

thank you! and yeah for sure, i’ve been pinning like 6 times a week for a year (3x test 3x hcg) and it takes like 5 minutes so i’m not too bothered

 

[haydz]

@haydz great EVO family will be looking forward to your updates bro

the testosterone vial the clinic gave you or you got it online?
seems very very high for 200mgs testosterone (cyp or enan?)

yeah when they prescribed 200mg my levels got high and so did my e2 so i decided to come back down, the vial was from the clinic. (test cyp 250)

 

[Npcclassicphysique champ]

do you have the brand of TRT testosterone you using? can you please share a pic of the vial (test cyp 200) really curious what would boost the e2 soo high at 200mgs, curiosity bro @haydz
