Approved Log My Training & Testosterone Log

[AlwaysCoconut]

Thank you for your time in advance.

Goal: Sort out my ED issues which I run into about 10-12 weeks into my cycle (which is now) - whilst not coming off. This is the third time ive ran into these ED issues, and always around the 10-12 week mark. Cialas or V's will not even work at this point. The previous 2 times, i just came off for 8 weeks on PCT which resolved the issue after about 4 weeks.

I will follow up with a full blood panel this week. I have not posted my old hormone results below, as they obviously fluctuate too much on and off cycle. I previously have jumped around using GPs/docs which meant i wasn't testing consistent markers. From previous tests, I am susceptible to high estrogen.

You'll see below, my cholesterol is high, but triglycerides (and fasting insulin not shown) are very low. Im assuming the reason for my low tri's is I only train fasted in the mornings and have cycled intermitted fasting on cardio days for the last 8 years. Im assuming my high cholesterol is not diet induced as I have given up red meat for 3 months and it didnt change a thing.

Here goes...

Training Split
PowerBuilding + Muay Thai (neither competitive)
- Dead day / Day 1 is long with big rest periods.
- Push, legs and isolations are short rest periods and 40min max overall
- Once a month is a 10km run or longer. Have done 2x half marathons this year sub 2 hours.

The training week below is not strictly every week, but is still an accurate representation of an average week. If I have a long run on a Saturday, I’ll lay off the weights leading up. If it’s a 1rm dead week, I’ll drop the 2nd Muay Thai session the week before and increase cals to be rested.

Day 1 (Volume Deads - 5 min rest periods)
- 270 x2
- 250 x 5
- Deficits 200 x 5
- Deficits 170 x 5
- Leg extension burnt out x 50 reps
- Calf raises burnt out x 50 reps

Day 2 (Push - High Intensity - 1-2min rest max)
Dumbell Chest Press
- 45 x 7, 40 x 7, 35 x7
Incline Dumbell Chest Press
- 35 x 5, 32.5 x 5, 30 x 5
Pec Deck
- 100kg failure (12ish)
- 93kg failure (8ish)
- 86kg failure (8ish)
Delt Raises
- 12.5kg failure (20ish)
- 10kg failure (10ish)
Overhead Tricep Extensions
- 18kg x 4 sets x failure

Day 3 (Muay Thai - 600-800cal burn)
- 90 mins including warm up and warm down

Day 4 (Beauty Training - Light/Chill Day)
- Calves, Bi’s, Tri’s

Day 5 (Legs - Nothing Crazy)
Squats
- 150 x 5 x 2
- 140 x 6
- 100 x 10
Quad Extension
- 50kg failure (30ish)
- 60kg failure (20ish)
- 70kg failure x 2 (10ish)
Seated Calves
- 4 sets failure

Day 6 (Muay Thai - 500ish cal burn)
- 90 mins including warm up and warm down)

Day 7 Rest

Sleep Averages

2 nights a week - 8-8.5 (generally weekends)
3 nights a week - 7ish hours
2 nights - 5.5 - 6ish hours (not ideal, work stress related)

Diet

Mon - Fri is the same, with an increase of sugar/carbs/junk food over the weekend. Will still hit protein goals on Sat and Sun though. I am not concerned with being really low body fat or having been having visible abs. Note that I am not overly strict on my diet as cardio keeps it under control.

I will eat more than this, but not under.

Protein - 150-180g
Carbs - 200g
Fat - 60g
Cals - 2500-3000 depending on sauces uses

Foods - 90/10 beef mince, whole eggs, avocado, white rice, macadamia nuts, honey, little bit of salad, no fat mayo. Mon - Fri i stay clear of seed oils, processed sugars, but 1 day a week will be a dirty day.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your time.

@AlwaysCoconut thanks for sharing with the EVO family, we are happy to have you in our community and our family.

To start off, please share a bit more with us.

Diet Training
Diet, can you please share actual meals foods and when you eat them as you go day by day with macros, would be nice to see your days
Training, a bit more specific as you train like reps weights sets exercises, like when I read your original thread (https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/threads/ed-on-trt.100137) what came to mind was, well is he overtraining? and if so ED is just a part of over taxing your body, its possible and I've seen it with a few clients.

Supplements
I see you listed medicines and Ais as supplements, thats common slang lol I know bro but we need actual supplements
are you using daily organ liver support like n2guard?
do you take daily vitamin D high dose?
vitamin C high dose?
joint support for recovery?

pictures
please share pics of you face blurred
please share pics of some meals as you eat for use to see whats happening with food
please share some pics of training, thats honestly for the EVO family to enjoy your log, more for fun
also pics of your gear and supplements would help

final thoughts
your ED issue the deep deep root of it, we can easier sort out if you get blood work asap like this week, you said you have it coming, how long usually for results?

overall thank you for sharing and keep updating the LOG, the more frequent the better

 

[stevesmi]

blood flow issues can be a very dangerous signal that your heart health is in trouble.
i would get a full checkup with a cardiologist

 

[JasonPriest]

Oh Welcome to The Forum
can you please get your diet information up let's see what's going on there

 

[BodyMonster34]

bro you sure that if we put a hot lot lizard in front of you you won't be able to get it up?
I find that hard to believe

 

[Quadsweep]

some people weren't born to be sex maniacs
it isn't exactly the end of the world

 

[Austin316]

if viagra isn't helping then you got some issues going on
time to really take a deep dive into what you're doing

 

[sambee38]

you don't seem like you're in that bad of a shape
so I don't really understand what could be going on but I'm glad you started this long

 

[BookerTNY]

you will be fine sometimes we go through a dry spell
you could meet someone and she could really make you happy and things could change

 

[Arabian]

I think it's possible it could be some of them medication you're taking
have you checked to see the side effects because you're taking a lot of different things

[Zyglamail]

the blood pressure medication and cholesterol medication can screw things up
keep that in mind

 

[Shrine]

why are you on that much gear and then you have to take all these medications on top of it
there's a good chance that everything is having affect

 

[caligirl85]

I've dated a lot of men with a similar problem
you are not alone so I'm glad you started this long in our honest

 

[zedhed]

yes some pictures up and let's work on your diet and your training
I'm less worried about the ED issues, that will improve over time

 

[Mobster]

Maybe just do short cycles from now on too

 

[Masonic Bodybuilder]

Great start to the log man. I agree with a couple guys above. First is that it could be heart strain which is why it gets worse as the cycle goes on. Make sure all is good on the heart health front. Second, short cycles may be best for you. Get on, get off, recover. SARMs might be a good option for you too.

 

[ballin2504]

Welcome aboard. Nice start to the log
