Approved Log My Test Enanthate Cycle Log

[Prime_465]

Hey everyone...

Long time follower of these forums, first time Log post.

A bit about my journey firstly. I'm 31 years old, and just moved to Dubai. I was always fairly serious with my training (14 years lifting), but diet was appalling. I'd eat well Monday - Thursdays, and then Friday - Sunday absolutely blow out. I ended up about 115kg covered in fat before I decided to seriously dial things up. This was about 2.5 years ago at this point.

I cut out alcohol and sugar completely for a 6 month period - and religiously weighed and tracked my food intake. I was eating around 2300 - 2500 cals per day, with 180g-200g protein. Started to see some serious visible results, which made me fall in love with it. From then on, I've been obsessed, and strict with everything. Tracking and weighing 90% of the time, with 10% being if I go out to eat at restaurants, or feel like having a beer or two.

I've done one cycle before, when I was young and stupid, so for all intents and purposes, I would say this is my "first". Prior to starting this cycle, I was 92kg - unsure of body fat %.

CYCLE
16 weeks - Test E 500mg / week, pinning Mondays / Thursdays.
AI: On hand if I start to notice any sides.
PCT: Nolva (20), Clomid (50), to start 2 weeks post cycle.

DIET
Eating 3200 cals / per day, of which I'm consuming 220g protein.

My diet consists of the same food each day, I've found a happy balance of quantity for less cals - and it doesn't feel as though I'm dieting.

Meal 1: 40g whey / 90g protein oats / 200ml Milk overnight oats
Meal 2: Ready made meal prep - typically 40g-50g protein
Meal 3: Ready made meal prep - typically 40g-50g protein
Meal 4: Homemade - either beef or chicken, low cal potatoes, and greens (quantity dependent on cals left to be made up)
Dessert: Greek yogurt, honey, berries

TRAINING
Push / Pull / Legs / Rest / Push / Pull / Legs - training 6 days per week, with one rest day.

My program at the moment consists of 2 x heavy compounds per session, with 3-4 accessory exercises. A finisher for each session is typically ab-roll out, and a 10-12 minute EMOM cardio circuit.

My BF at the moment fluctuates between 10%-12% as per DEXA, but due to the significant weight loss in a 6-month period, I carry a lot of loose skin around the gut that I'm kind of insecure about.

Would welcome any feedback on the cycle, diet, training etc.. In particular, am I leaving it late by starting an AI now - or should I only go by how I'm feeling in terms of sides?

Thanks all!

@Prime_465 welcome fully now open arms to the big EVO family thanks for sharing.

I followed your original UG thread:
https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/threads/ug-sources-in-dubai.104335

I cut out alcohol and sugar completely for a 6 month period - and religiously weighed and tracked my food intake. I was eating around 2300 - 2500 cals per day, with 180g-200g protein. Started to see some serious visible results, which made me fall in love with it. From then on, I've been obsessed, and strict with everything. Tracking and weighing 90% of the time, with 10% being if I go out to eat at restaurants, or feel like having a beer or two.

very proud of you, cutting alcohol is #1. I've been sober for years and recommend it to all my clients.

CYCLE
16 weeks - Test E 500mg / week, pinning Mondays / Thursdays.
AI: On hand if I start to notice any sides.
PCT: Nolva (20), Clomid (50), to start 2 weeks post cycle.

what week of this cycle are you? and what gear are you using?

DIET
Eating 3200 cals / per day, of which I'm consuming 220g protein.

My diet consists of the same food each day, I've found a happy balance of quantity for less cals - and it doesn't feel as though I'm dieting.

Good diet brakdown but can you share your meal prep foods please.

TRAINING
Push / Pull / Legs / Rest / Push / Pull / Legs - training 6 days per week, with one rest day.

My program at the moment consists of 2 x heavy compounds per session, with 3-4 accessory exercises. A finisher for each session is typically ab-roll out, and a 10-12 minute EMOM cardio circuit.

Please share more day to day information with us.

Training, Cardio
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.

My BF at the moment fluctuates between 10%-12% as per DEXA, but due to the significant weight loss in a 6-month period, I carry a lot of loose skin around the gut that I'm kind of insecure about.

you look amazing in the picture lean hard and muscular impressive look.

Would welcome any feedback on the cycle, diet, training etc.. In particular, am I leaving it late by starting an AI now - or should I only go by how I'm feeling in terms of sides?

I think with 500mgs testosterone and no Ai and no blood work, we can safely assume some high e2, which requires more management than on hand, you need to actually use the Ai. which do you have?

@Prime_465 You can go see a dermatologist about the loose skin. There are some things like laser that can get rid of it. Also fasting will tighten up the skin as it will attack a lot of the cells in there.

This is a great start. I really like your diet, good quality proteins are very essential and you're getting your good carbs and fats as well.

I've done one cycle before, when I was young and stupid, so for all intents and purposes, I would say this is my "first". Prior to starting this cycle, I was 92kg - unsure of body fat %.

CYCLE
16 weeks - Test E 500mg / week, pinning Mondays / Thursdays.
AI: On hand if I start to notice any sides.
PCT: Nolva (20), Clomid (50), to start 2 weeks post cycle.

DIET
Eating 3200 cals / per day, of which I'm consuming 220g protein.

My diet consists of the same food each day, I've found a happy balance of quantity for less cals - and it doesn't feel as though I'm dieting.

Meal 1: 40g whey / 90g protein oats / 200ml Milk overnight oats
Meal 2: Ready made meal prep - typically 40g-50g protein
Meal 3: Ready made meal prep - typically 40g-50g protein
Meal 4: Homemade - either beef or chicken, low cal potatoes, and greens (quantity dependent on cals left to be made up)
Dessert: Greek yogurt, honey, berries

TRAINING
Push / Pull / Legs / Rest / Push / Pull / Legs - training 6 days per week, with one rest day.

My program at the moment consists of 2 x heavy compounds per session, with 3-4 accessory exercises. A finisher for each session is typically ab-roll out, and a 10-12 minute EMOM cardio circuit.

My BF at the moment fluctuates between 10%-12% as per DEXA, but due to the significant weight loss in a 6-month period, I carry a lot of loose skin around the gut that I'm kind of insecure about.

Would welcome any feedback on the cycle, diet, training etc.. In particular, am I leaving it late by starting an AI now - or should I only go by how I'm feeling in terms of sides?

Thanks all!
