So, looking at examples of other logs, I'm gonna give it a shot.I hope this will give ya'll something to go on.

I'm 47 years old, will be 48 in a month. Had blood work done and found my test level to be 317. Technically in range but low. So I went on testosterone at 200mgs/wk.

I'm 6' tall, currently 220-230, depending on the scale. Not sure about exact body fat%, but guessing around 22-28%. It appears to have decreased since starting my cycle/training routine, which I'll get into.

I train krav maga, so I've stayed in decent shape over the years. I did mostly bodyweight stuff because since I was younger everyone said fighters shouldn't lift weights because it makes them slow. We know better now.

I started lifting a little over a year ago, a year and 8 months or so. My current weight training program is a 4 day, upper posterior split with three days off from lifting.

I typically start with a weight I can get 6 good reps on the first set after a good warmup and work up to 3 sets of 6. When I can get 8 on my third set, I add 5lbs. Either way, when all 3 sets are done, I'll drop the weight by 10% and do 5 rest pause style sets to failure (15 seconds rest between sets).

Since I need a big motor for krav maga, I will alternate 5-10 minutes of bag work with a kettlebell snatch/burpee/swing circuit each training day. I've just now had to drop these because of time constraints.

Diet: I don't weight food or count calories, but estimate portion sizes by hand. 9 servings of protein for about 225 grams/day, 18 servings of carbs for about 450grams/day. I don't count fat because it's in everything, but I definitely don't add any extra. I try to get a serving of vegetables with every meal, but it doesn't always happen.

I eat a lot of tuna, chicken breast, steak, eggs, whole wheat breads, oatmeal, potatoes, rice, beans, bananas, apples, spinach. I never really ate a lot of junk food, but need to really watch alcohol consumption on weekends. I've gotten really good at limiting consumption.

For my first cycle, starting December 25, I started with test and eq, both at 400mg/week and turinabol at 50 mg/day. Ran tbol six weeks.

I began slowly upping my test and eq as I paid attention to sides and began to feel comfortable. Jan 5 I upped both to 500mgs, and for the last month I've upped test to 700.

I was taking 1mg arimidex per week, until I took test to 700. That's when I started getting the oily skin and minor acne. I'm now taking 1mg 3x/week.

I'm on the last 5-6 weeks on this 16 week cycle, and have introduced anavar at 75 mgs dosed 3x/day.

I will return to a simple test dose of 200mg/week when done. Considering getting hcg and clomid as well.

As for supplements, I take a multi vitamin, fish oil, tudca, milk thistle, and creatine. I will continue to supplement when off cycle.

I've seen my overall weight go down as I apparently lost body fat, strength has gone up consistently, and muscle mass increase has been obvious. Not overly dramatic but noticeable. I've gone from a xl shirt to xxl since December. No visible abs, but I don't particularly care too much about that. I just want to be strong and athletic.

Which brings me to my goals. I don't want to become too freakishly big. I think if I stay around 225-230 would be good. I want to be as strong as possible with as big a motor as I can build for athletic performance (krav maga). I may consider a hard cut at some point, but as for now I still feel the need build a little more muscle while losing a little more body fat.

I may or may not (but probably will) run another cycle, although I don't want to do anything more than once a year (for now, may change as I learn more).

I try to educate myself on all things before I do them, especially something that can affect health. I watch all of the podcasts ya'll put out that I can and try to absorb all the information to make good choices. I'm sure there have been plenty of mistakes made on this first cycle. I've already learned a lot through the experience, particularly in the expectations of what these compounds will or will not do. I see that at least for me, some things are over hyped. Nothing trumps diet and training for sure.

Almost forgot, I am planning to get blood work done soon, within the next couple of weeks. I'm almost done with the cycle, but I think it'll be good to see where everything is. Or, maybe I'll just wait till it's over since I'm so close to finishing.

Hope this is what ya'll were looking for in a log. I need to add anything please let me know. Thanks for the help.

I forgot to mention that 2 of my non-lifting days (Tuesday and Friday)are devoted to deep stretching, and my third off day (Saturday) is total rest. I get adjusted my my chiropractor every Thursday after I am finished lifting.

@Krazyhoss

Please share more details with us. I do see your plan but its limiting in info. You need to keep track closely if you going to use actual steroids.

DIET training
Diet, please share foods meals and when you eat them
training, please share exercises actual reps sets and weights
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
please share what supps you take

PICS
please share pics of you face blurred
pics of your meals as you eat them
pics of your gear of course
pics of supps
and pics of training if you can
 
monstro definitely wants to see your progress
this is going to be a good training log
 
diet looks pretty good you're eating a lot of good quality foods
but make sure you structured along so we're seeing what you're eating daily
 
would be good to see your repetitions and weights
not just exercises so we can see if you're getting stronger
 
make sure you get up pictures blur out your face
we really need to see what kind of physique you have it makes a difference
 
nobody should recommend a thing until we see your body structure
all we know is that you're really tall and you're about 230 pounds
 
Bros would love to see more about your martial arts
havent seen anyone on here training that israeli stuff
What would you like to know? I can tell you it's BRUTAL, and the training os likewise brutal. I'm a level 3 student. The test from 1 to 2, and 2 to 3, are 8 hours of the most exhausting physical hell I've ever endured.
 
This was when I started my cycle. 12-26-23. 230lbs.

This was today, middle of week 10 in my cycle. I can't really see much difference (which is why I hate pictures), but in reality everything is bigger. I've had to go up a shirt size because they were tight around the shoulders. Weight this morning was 224.

good lifting day but id like see cardio in there

I don't have a food log yet, but I have an idea on getting it together relatively easily. Please stay posted and patient. Thanks.
waiting on food log
 
@Krazyhoss before after looks great, you're making gains


good lifting day but id like see cardio in there


waiting on food log
I had cardio in. Sun-day and Wednesday- kettlebell/burpee circuit. 10 kb snatches each arm with 35lb kb, 10 burpees, 10 swings with 50lb kb, repeat 5x. Then 5 minutes on the heavy bag. Finish with 30 minutes on the treadmill, keeping heart rate around 120-130.

Monday, Thursday- stair stepper, target heart rate around 150 for 30 minutes.

Had to remove about 2 weeks ago due to schedule changes. Need to find a way to add it back in.

@Krazyhoss its crucial you add cardio in there, walking not just training via exercise, walking up hill start there
 
I think that you're going to do well on this log I got a good feeling about you
 
I've got a lot of confidence that you'll have some excellent results
 
I agree with you a hundred percent lose more fat and gain some muscle that's the goal always
 
everybody wants to lose fat and gain muscle
 
good start here. keep the updates comin

You look more full
 
I just listened to the podcast "Boldenone Revisited". Excellent information; it answered some questions and spurred some new ones.

Answered: the effect I was looking for (steady, lean gains, endurance ) is what I've experienced, just as the compound was designed. Also, I don't plan at this point to run more than one cycle per year. Excellent explanation on why that's a good idea with eq.

Questions:
I've been running 500mgs. I'm on week 10 about to go into 11. I have enough to finish a 16 week cycle. I have been injecting 250mgs 2x/week. Is that too frequent?

I bumped my test to 700mgs/week, injecting 2x/week (test e), starting week 4. I've increased my arimidex dose to 1mg 3x/week as I began to notice slight acne and oily skin at that dose, which I didn't have before. I've been slowly increasing to that point. I've already been thinking about reducing it back to 200-250/wk. Ya'll have seen my current pic; is it possible I would look leaner by doing so? (Nutrition log coming, btw). Would I notice a significant loss of strength? I plan on going back to 200mg/wk after cycle anyway.

I will probably run eq again next cycle. Probably go with 600-700 eq with 200-400 test, now that I see how I react to them. Should I front load eq to kick off the cycle?

Last, and perhaps more importantly, I have about 5 weeks left. Should I consider hcg and/or clomid when I come off considering I'll still be on 200/wk test. How long should I wait if so?

I know I should have considered these things before going on cycle, but I'm here now. Just trying to enhance my knowledge and experience so I do things properly.

Thanks for all the support and advice.

@Krazyhoss you can do eq 2x/week thats fine

but weaker or stronger thats relative bro, you should be sharing training diet more so we can see how weak or strong you can get

i dont think you should be so high on test imo
500mgs of test 500mgs eq thats already a gram

if you're doing TRT post cycle dont worry about full pct, and clomid will make you nuts
better use hcgenerate natural with some tamoxifen with your TRT

listen share more please bro we waiting
 
that is very smart that you listen to the podcast on here
it's very good information and factual
 
too many people are set in their ways
you definitely sound like you want to get better

Answered: the effect I was looking for (steady, lean gains, endurance ) is what I've experienced, just as the compound was designed. Also, I don't plan at this point to run more than one cycle per year. Excellent explanation on why that's a good idea with eq.

Questions:
I've been running 500mgs. I'm on week 10 about to go into 11. I have enough to finish a 16 week cycle. I have been injecting 250mgs 2x/week. Is that too frequent?

I bumped my test to 700mgs/week, injecting 2x/week (test e), starting week 4. I've increased my arimidex dose to 1mg 3x/week as I began to notice slight acne and oily skin at that dose, which I didn't have before. I've been slowly increasing to that point. I've already been thinking about reducing it back to 200-250/wk. Ya'll have seen my current pic; is it possible I would look leaner by doing so? (Nutrition log coming, btw). Would I notice a significant loss of strength? I plan on going back to 200mg/wk after cycle anyway.

I will probably run eq again next cycle. Probably go with 600-700 eq with 200-400 test, now that I see how I react to them. Should I front load eq to kick off the cycle?

Last, and perhaps more importantly, I have about 5 weeks left. Should I consider hcg and/or clomid when I come off considering I'll still be on 200/wk test. How long should I wait if so?

I know I should have considered these things before going on cycle, but I'm here now. Just trying to enhance my knowledge and experience so I do things properly.

Thanks for all the support and advice.
I've a bunch of roids here. The 'I have some left over shall I use it' is like eating all the` food in the house just cos. Not necessary
 
12 weeks is fine with EQ
I would not go 16 weeks on any steroid it's just too long
 
Glad to see people are using the podcasts for what they are meant for
 
Here's my log so far of my first cycle.

Food log last 4 days. Learning to keep track. I did get very sloppy on these days. Not enough food over all and way too many beers. This is not typical. I don't know why I slipped, but will tighten up. Had to start somewhere with my log, and I'm not trying to hide anything. Honesty is best. I know ya'll will get onto me for the sloppiness, but I deserve it. Here we go:

@Krazyhoss i dont think 75mgs/day of anavar is normal even 100mgs of tbol, 50mgs ed is enough for each

constipation is diet related see comments below

yes your diet needs more fiber

also tuna patty sandwiches, dont eat so much tuna

right now the problem i see if you dont add fiber its an issue
add psyllium husk fiber 2 tbsp /day with large amount of water
and probiotics too, spore based

and whats your supplement intake now? updates
 
The more often you pin, the more stable the blood levels will be. 2x per week is plenty with an ester that long.
That's how I view it and why I pin it that way, sometimes 3 times a week just depends on how much I am doing.
 
I've decided to keep my eq at 500mg/week, but stepped my test down to 200. Been on this dosing for week and a half or so.

Admittedly my diet got real sloppy the last couple of weeks, but I'm still down 5 lbs. Strength is good, still making small improvements. Got a little elbow tendinitis, so had to back off on things like weighted pullups. Went to the assisted machine and did hig reps. Feeling better now.

Coming to the end of the cycle. I am determined to tighten everything up and finish strong.

@Krazyhoss thats fine on the eq/test but honestly I havent seen much updates, can you come back and start sharing again?
at least get some training up bro we need to see where you're at
 
keep cleaning up your diet
 
we are not here to bash you but also we won't sugarcoat things either
 
definitely taking advantage of the increased metabolism using steroids
 
you definitely have the potential to get good results if you get your diet on point

Get that diet tightened back up

Keep us posted as to how this works out
 
At the start, my lifts were:
Squat 195lb for 8, 7, 7, 6
Bench 195lb for 6, 4. 4, 4, 3, 3, 2
Overhead press 120lb for 7, 4, 4, 4. 4, 2
Dip +10lb for 14, 7, 6
Deadlift 195lb for 13, 10. 8
Pullups (bw) for sets of 6

Now:
Squat 235lb for 7,6, 5, 5, 4
Bench 220lb for 9,7, 5, 5
Overhead press 135lb for 9, 8, 5, 4
Dips +45lb for 10,8, 8
Deadlift 245lb for 8, 8, 8, 4
Pullups -55lbs. Worked up to +45lb for sets of 3, then got a raging case of elbow tendinitis, so went to the assisted machine to rehab. Added in light curls 20lb for high reps (15+) to aid rehab. Elbows are feeling much better.

I learned a lot on this cycle, such as how I respond to various amounts of EQ and test. I started eq at 200mg and worked up to 500. I ran test up to 700 and took 1mg arimidex 3x/week for a month. Lost 5lbs 10 days after reducing back to 200mg/week. Next cycle I think I'll keep test at 200-225 and run eq at 750, maybe frontloading it for 2 weeks.

I learned to stay diligent with my diet as that is still the biggest part of the battle.

I also learned what to expect from steroid use. Sometimes I'm a little disappointed with my results because I had a preconceived idea that after one cycle I would be radically transformed. At least that's the stigma media tries to put in our heads. Plus, I intentionally chose a product known to deliver slow, steady gains. Looking at before/after pics and numbers, talking with people in and out of the gym, and the fact I had to go up a shirt size tells me this cycle was a success. Could I have had similar results without gear? I don't know. How much better could my results have been if I knew then what I know now? We'll find out in a year or so when I run my second cycle.

I think I also realized what ya'll are looking for in a log. Unless I'm wrong, ya'll want me to post every meal and every workout? This has been a very hard part of the process for me because I've always been very private. But I get it; hard to help someone you don't know without all the facts.

I do have a few questions.

According to what I heard Steve talk about on the podcasts, I should expect the eq to stay in my system till 5/30 or so (12 day half life x 5). Will it still be "working" during that time (although increasingly less each week) or does that simply mean it'll show up if I'm tested (I will not be)?

Also, does that mean I should wait till then to run hcg and/or clomid (or similar)? I'll be continuing test at 200mg/wk; do I NEED to run any type of pct?

As always, any other critiques and/observations are welcomed.

Thanks, everyone

@Krazyhoss good update

but still we need to see you up the volume on the training to 15-20 reps many times

if you can post some meals , we havent seen anything at least
no meals no real deep sharing, at least share the food to start

hcg clomid? thast not good
hcg is poison in many cases estrogen

pct, well if you on TRT why pct?

Not sure about pct, which is why I'm asking.

@Krazyhoss to understand we need to know if you decided on TRT, if you're on TRT doing PCT not needed.
I've had clients go on mini 2 week pct between cycle<>self-TRT but its not a requirement.

how about some training updates?
