Hi everyone! Welcome to my first log. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share some context before getting started. I've completed around four 12-week testosterone 500mg cycles in the past, with my last one being about a year ago. During those cycles, I experimented with different esters as well as Primo and Masteron (in separate cycles). I really enjoyed the effects of Masteron, and if possible, I’d like to include it in this upcoming cycle. The only negative side effect I noticed was an increase in acne around week 3, which I will continue to try and counter this cycle. This time I am going to try 250mg of Sustanon and 1500ui of HCG weekly. The HCG is new for me and important as my wife and I are now actively trying to conceive. We have been trying for about 6 months. I really could use the increase in libido
to help the more frequent visits to the bed.
I haven’t officially started the cycle yet, but I wanted to create this "pre-log" as a starting point. Many in the community have encouraged me to do this for the sake of transparency and to get feedback or advice before diving in. There are still a few things I need to sort out, such as:
Stats
• Age: 31
• Height: 176cm
• Weight: 68 kg
• Training Experience: 3 years
• Cycle History: 4x 12 week test cycles 500mg weekly
Current Diet
• Start the Day with 1 glass of water, 5g creatine monohydrate and a cuppa
• Meal 1 (Breakfast): 1 punnet of mixed berries and 1x cup of natural yogurt
• Meal 2 (breakfast): 4 eggs scrambled, 1 cup of oats with honey and more fruit
• Meal 3 (Snack Pre Gym): 1 chicken breast and 1 cup of rice
• Meal 4 (Dinner): 1x steak, 1 cup mixed veg 4 eggs, 1 cup of rice or steamed potato and avocado oil
• Meal 5 (Snack): Banana and protein shake
• Daily Calories: 2500 - 3000 Calories
Training:
I train four days a week and have started collecting equipment for a home gym since moving to a very rural area with no nearby gyms. My resistance training is entirely based on bodyweight exercises and dumbbells. Workouts begin at 6:30 am and typically last around 45 minutes. In the evenings, around 6 pm, I do 30 minutes of light boxing for cardio.
Current Physique:
I naturally maintain a slim physique with a mild case of a concave chest. I’ve been training consistently for about seven years, my diet however has not been consistent. Over the past year, I’ve hit a plateau and gained some body fat. This is largely due to starting my own business and adjusting to married life. I’m now looking to take my fitness more seriously, not just for physical results but also for mental clarity and a confidence boost.
Goals:
My main objective for this cycle is to build significant muscle mass and size to enhance my performance in daily life. Running my own business involves a lot of physical labor on our property, along with managing administrative tasks so maintaining mental clarity is ideal. Additionally, I aim to minimize/find solutions to the acne side effects of the cycle, boost my libido, and, most importantly, maintain my fertility since my partner and I are actively trying to conceive this year.
Planned Cycle: Sustanon (250 mg) and HCG 3x500ui weekly. Maybe Masterone if minimal side effects. 12 week cycle
Supporting Supplements (On-Cycle):
• Magnesium: 200-400 mg daily.
• Fish Oil: 3 capsules daily (approximately 3 g of omega-3)
Blood Works:

Appreciate any help given.

- How to properly mix HCG 5000iu in a 2ml vial
- Whether saline water is suitable for mixing HCG or if I need something else
- How often I am going to pin (ideally as little as possible for sustainability)
- How to store HCG correctly
- Whether it's possible to travel with HCG and testosterone, as I’ll occasionally need to travel overseas for business
- Need to teach myself how to read my blood works. The most recent is attached, while off-cycle. I believe it reflects a higher end in cholesterol.
