Hi Evo Fam,
As requested and agreed to (Hi Lev) this is my first log here, or anywhere for that matter, and it will be on my first peds cycles and the road back to the powerlifting platform in 2026.
So first me:
Age: 58
Height: 188cm (6'2", fuck I'm shrinking)
Weight: 106.2kg
Worth mentioning: I am a Registered Nurse, though I left practising as one over 18 years ago.
The inevitable Bio: I have not done any peds until March this year. As a younger guy I was playing State and National level football (soccer) for many years, this ended about 20 years ago and I needed a new competitive outlet. This is where powerlifting came in.
I have been involved in gym culture since I was 16 and have been in a gym of some description ever since. Most of the time it was for football but in the off-season I always wanted to push and see what i could do. When I stopped Football due to injuries and age, hitting the gym harder became the thing to do.
But why do this now?
For the last few years I had steadily been getting less energetic, more tired and a whole lot more grumpy. My drinking went up, my food intake increased and my libido hit the basement. I was still lifting heavy but I hit 119kg and I needed to do something about this and I knew it. I watched far too many people my age justify gaining weight, getting really unhealthy and doing nothing about it because of their age and I wasn't about to join them.
I looked into several things and it was a lack of testosterone that I felt was the thing that was pushing this along.
In Australia it is not an easy thing to do TRT, so after finding my levels were 230, I talked with my son-in-law and decided to do this myself with his help.
In March 2025 I started 125mg Test E per week and I have never looked back. Things however did escalate...a bit
.
Cycle:
First real cycle started in May and ended 3 weeks ago with: (all of my pins are every 3 days because....its even
)
Test E titrated up to 525mg per week by week 3 of 12
Deca started in week 4 at 210mg for joints (knees loved this stuff)
Primobolan 105mg per week to help with sides (acne). This did work well.
I am currently running until I get my blood test done in the next couple of weeks: Sort of a cut phase though I have lost 5 kg in 3 weeks due to the Retatrutide.
Test E 204 per week
Retatrutide 3mg per week
Clen 50mg 2 days on, 2 days off.
Next cycle will be Test E (same), Deca(up a bit), Primobolan (because I still have some, up a bit). I want to replace the Primo with Proviron next.
Diet currently:
M1 Breakfast - 3 eggs, 2 short cut bacon, 1/2 cup cheese (P 46, C 5 F43, Cal 701)
M2 - Corn thins cheese spread, sliced meat (P 29, C 15, F 27, Cal 421)
M3 Lunch - 300g Chicken, Rice, Beans (P 64, C 56, F 34, Cal 804)
M4 - Protein Shake and Protein bar ( P31, C18, F 12, Cal 310)
M5 - Pasta dish - (P34 C52, F18 Cal 510)
Total 2,756 a day during this phase
Training: As the log progresses I will go into more detail here and the reasons why I do certain exercises.
Mon - Chest/ Bench
Tuesday - Back/ Deadlifts
Wednesday - A mix of several things but mostly shoulder and ab work
Thursday - Leg / Squats
Friday - Arms
Cardio: 2-3 times a week for a half arsed 30 minutes each time. This does need to improve.
Sleep: 7-8 hours a night, some good, some not.
Supplements:
Multi Vitamin
NAC
Probiotic
Magnesium
Psyllium Husk
Creatine
I have attached current photos. Video from training tonight to follow once we figure out how to reduce it in size.
I am looking forward to sharing this log and adventure with you all.

really love the layout and your look, big arms, good chest and you're lean, with thick traps and back. Good base!
how are you measuring 204 or is that a typo?
. Oh well, the on cycle was a nice change for them, and then next one will be as well 
) later this evening.
. I back off for a week or so when that happens, but I can't help myself and I am back doing the same thing soon enough 
.
