Approved Log My lean bulk cycle log 2025

Newbgains

V.I.P.
EVO Logger
As requested, time to start the log.

Currently cutting down to around 10 percent before I start this bulk. Will post pics once I upload.

Training around 15 years properly weight training around 6. Very active younger years playing football and tennis.
Starting stats:
Height - 175cm
Age - 37
Weight as of this morning - 159lb (i know I'm light, very ectomorphic and started around 112lb)
Calories on cut - 2200/ 2400 approx.
10,000 steps a day

Diet:

Sample day -

Coffee till 11am.

3 free range eggs, 2 slices wholemeal toast, butter
Greek yoghurt with fruit.

Rice, Chicken breast, veg (cooked previously from dinner last night)

Quaker oats, protein powder, whole milk, whey, blueberries.

Greek yoghurt, fruit.

Salmon, sweet potato, veg.

Try and keep it simple and healthy. Track everything in myfitness pal so know I'm hitting the protein and calorie goals.

Cycle history - One blast of 500mg test. Put on some mass which i kept but could have been better (hence why I'm on here)

Training plan -

Found that due to me being an ectomorph (started out incredibly light) that full body 3x's per week seems to create more of a response from normal body splits. Plus i found training more wrecks me for the week and feel guilty if I can't make a session.

Training plan:

Monday:

Barbell bench 4x 6/8 reps
RDL with dumbbells 3 x 8/10
Pull ups (weighted) 3 x 8/10
Chest flies cable 3 x 10/15
Leg raise (machine) 3 x 8/10
Lat raise 3 x 15/20
Calf raise 3 x 10/15
Ab work

Wednesday:

Squat 3 x 8/10
Barbell OH press 3 x 6/8
Hamstring curl 3 x 10/15
Seated cable row 3 x 10/12
Chest press 3 x 10/12
Triceps pushdown 3 x 10/15
Calf raise 3 x 10/15
Ab work

Friday
Deadlift 3 x 6/8
Slight incline bench press Barbell 3 x 10/12
Single row 3 x 10/12
Lat raise 3 x 10/15
Bicep work 3 x 10/12
Ab work

Now this is for CUTTING.

Should I stick with this routine for the bulk or adapt?

Cycle plan:

After initially posting, I'm going to go for 500mg test with anavar or Tbol kickstart for 6 weeks. Total cycle 12 weeks.

Starting calories 2700, will adapt as i go.

Plan to start this March.

How's that looking?

Currently on TRT so no problem with shutdown.

Cheers guys.

Right, TRT dose is 70mg pw alongside hcg, this puts me in around 24nmol (uk based so apologies for lack of conversion).

Macros varies day to day but on average:
180g P
200g c
80g F

This puts me at 2300 typically per day. Normally wake around 5, first meal 8.30 then eat every few hours or so till 6pm. Bed by half 8/9.

Vices: I drink on the weekend, but I'm limiting myself as I know it's ruining my goals. I've cut back a lot since I moved away from the area I was in, but me and the Mrs still enjoy a wine on a Friday.

Supplements:
Vit D 4000iu
Omega 3 2000iu
Milk thistle 1000mg
P5P
L-citrulline 1000mg
Magnesium 1000mg

Doc prescribed TRT and will be running chilton labs test once I get down to desired body fat level.

Current cardio: 10,000 steps per day.
Yoga once a week at a class (thanks Steve, game changer).

With cardio, I drop weight easily so it's a balance to not drop too quickly.

When I posted the other day I was 159lb, today 157.2lb. So any more I'd be losing too quickly.

Current physique attached.

Also track everything in my fitness pal and all workouts are logged in notes.

Aim to Hit the higher rep range for amount of sets before increasing weight. Eg for an exercise that states 8-10 for 3 sets, I'll hit 10/10/10 then increase slightly.

Then will aim to hit 8/8/8, 9/9/9 until get to 10 again and repeat.

Work to pretty much failure every set, complete failure usually last set.
 
I'm honored that you got your log started. That's okay that you're an ectomorph everybody comes from a different place.
 
Going from 112 lbs to 259 lbs is no easy feat.

Great accomplishment so far.
 
Can you post up the picture of when you were really skinny back in the day as well?

That would be cool to see a side-by-side if possible.
 
. Drinking is definitely gonna be a problem.

Remember alcohol will stop fat loss and also stop muscle gains.
 
Set a goal during this log. To stop drinking alcohol.

This log will hold you, accountable.
 
Bros. This is a good start. I like your training strategy, Monday, Wednesday and Friday consistent. Try and get in 4 Workouts a week, though.
