Hi All,

Hope everyone is doing well. I’ve recently joined in the hope of logging my first cycle on this forum. I’m part of several forums but noticed that you get a lot more support on here. I’m hoping to get the same support offered to so many others before me.

Background:

Fat f**k who weighed over 100kg 2 years ago but lost it after getting his act together. I’ve lifted on and off for much of my life but stopped for several years till restarting in October 2023.

I’m now obsessed with the gym and bodybuilding. All I do now is watch bodybuilding videos on YouTube (chase irons/Big Paul/Dr Todd Lee ect) and read cycle logs. I’ve recently started listening to the Evolutionary podcast on Spotify.

Welcome to the EVO family @Major London love the progress you made here and thank you for sharing.
You’ve done the hard work dropping from over 100kg to where you are now, and the structure you’ve laid out shows you’re serious about doing this right. Training split is balanced, food choices are clean, supplements are solid, and pin schedule looks fine for 300mg test c.
Bloods before starting is the smartest move you could make, and having aromasin, nolva, and ralox ready covers you well.

If you’re going to log this cycle, push yourself to update it regularly with training numbers, diet, and how you feel day to day. It’ll keep you accountable and give everyone here the chance to help you fine tune along the way.

what digestive supps you use?
digestive enzymes?
multis?

You put in a lot of effort and work and it paid off. @Major London From here, I would like to see you put on some lean muscle mass. I think you have room.

Hi All,

Hope everyone is doing well. I’ve recently joined in the hope of logging my first cycle on this forum. I’m part of several forums but noticed that you get a lot more support on here. I’m hoping to get the same support offered to so many others before me.

Background:

Fat f**k who weighed over 100kg 2 years ago but lost it after getting his act together. I’ve lifted on and off for much of my life but stopped for several years till restarting in October 2023. I’ve been in a calorie deficit for the past 2 years (with some diet brakes sprinkled in between). My life before 2023 mostly focused on gaming but that has changed since starting my fat loss phase. I’m now obsessed with the gym and bodybuilding. All I do now is watch bodybuilding videos on YouTube (chase irons/Big Paul/Dr Todd Lee ect) and read cycle logs.

heck of a transformation already! @Major London EVO family is proud of you. and your workouts show you know how to throw around the iron

 

[Major London]

Welcome to the EVO family @Major London love the progress you made here and thank you for sharing.
You’ve done the hard work dropping from over 100kg to where you are now, and the structure you’ve laid out shows you’re serious about doing this right. Training split is balanced, food choices are clean, supplements are solid, and pin schedule looks fine for 300mg test c.
Bloods before starting is the smartest move you could make, and having aromasin, nolva, and ralox ready covers you well.

If you’re going to log this cycle, push yourself to update it regularly with training numbers, diet, and how you feel day to day. It’ll keep you accountable and give everyone here the chance to help you fine tune along the way.

supplements
what digestive supps you use?
digestive enzymes?
multis?
probiotics?
psyllium husk?

You and Mobster are providing some valuable information. Now I have something to listen to during my cardio sessions.

 

[Major London]

You put in a lot of effort and work and it paid off. @Major London From here, I would like to see you put on some lean muscle mass. I think you have room.

Thanks Ulter.

That’s exactly what I want to do. Family members say that I look ill but than again, they were the same people who were telling me to lose weight.

 

[Major London]

bro your physique remind me of son. got same look. also dont' forget the red meat. need it to GROW @Major London

Thanks bro.

I love Steak. I will incorporate it into my diet. However, I’m also mindful of iron rich diet and hematocrit/RBC.

@Major London besides a calorie deficit. share more insight about your transformation. would like to see how else you managed to change

Thanks 2Thick.

1st year and a half was mostly cardio, calorie deficit and a lot of willpower. The cut from June this year to early September is when I saw my best result in shifting fat (specifically stomach fat). I used Reta which I started at 2mg/ week and maxed it at 4mg/wk. I paired this with 4IU of GH (all at night). This combination really helped with shifting some stomach fat.

However, this combination did come with some negatives. Sleep took a hit and I would go hypo a lot, especially early morning (3-6am).

I also had to rewire my mind when it came to food. I was a sugar addict and loved everything sweet. I now only indulge in sweet treats during special occasions (holidays/birthdays).

 

[Major London]

heck of a transformation already! @Major London EVO family is proud of you. and your workouts show you know how to throw around the iron

Thanks Roidders.

The workout is there but i want to use it to grow now. I’m hoping food+some test should help me along in that goal.

 

[Major London]

Please don’t. lol.

Me likey.

I’ll be honest I kind of stopped listening to Dr Todd. He’s very dismissive to other view points and waves his Dr title around as to why he’s right. His placing in his last show should have humbled him a little but unfortunately that was not the case.

 

[Major London]

Quick update on how the week went.

With the addition of extra food, came more energy. So I decided to change up my workout routine by removing the Thursday rest day and moving my upper to Thursday and lower to Friday. I also added a dedicated back and biceps day on Saturday. Big mistake that was. All workouts proceeding Wednesday took a significant hit. Fatigue started to set in and as such my workouts which usually lasted an hour took longer because I was taking longer than my usual 2 minutes rest.

I’ve also been on what I believed was my maintenance calories for the past week, weighing myself daily. This morning I took the average of the last 7 days and it looks like I lost 0.3kg. I will up my calories and reassess next week.

I’ve decided to take a proper rest day today, something I haven’t done in a very long time. Tomorrow morning I have bloodwork so don’t want ti do anything that may impact markers.

Lastly, I would like to thank everyone for their kind words.

 

[Allupfromhere]

Welcome to evo brother layout and plans looks really good. Congratulations on taking control and dropping all the fat too brother it makes this next phase significantly more productive.
You got everything in place and where it should be bro, run blood work at week 4 just to see how your e2 is trending and give you a better indication of how your body is going to aromatise. If you still well in range with e2 your could even bump the test to 400mg weekly and ride that out. Will be following along, good luck and stay on the grind

You got everything in place and where it should be bro, run blood work at week 4 just to see how your e2 is trending and give you a better indication of how your body is going to aromatise. If you still well in range with e2 your could even bump the test to 400mg weekly and ride that out. Will be following along, good luck and stay on the grind

Thank you bro. Your kind words are appreciated.

definitely planning on getting blood 4-6 weeks into the cycle. I’m also open to upping the dose if E2 is not too out of range.

Thanks for following on my journey. Hoping I look a lot different to what I do now come February 2026.

@Major London

Welcome to EVO bro. I like when someone has done their research and comes on here ready to give us what we need to dial things in and even get it even more fine tuned.

It looks like you're ready to put on some muscle which yes may add weight but it will be the 'good weight'. Looking forward to following you on this one!!

I noticed you didn't indicate how much creatine per day? How much you using of that?

I’m using the standard recommended dose of 5g. Should I up the dose?

 

[HarleyGuy]

Thanks bro.

For your goals right now I think 5g/day is fine. When you go over 10g it becomes more of a nootropic and ensures your muscles are fully saturated.

You did what I did. I was 270lbs, cut down to 190lbs and built it up to 210lbs of muscle. You're at that point where you can start to build with all the fat and mass you've stripped off.

 

[LevButlerov]

Thanks Lev.

Will try my best to update my log regularly.

looking forward to it

 

[stevesmi]

Cheers Stev.

You and Mobster are providing some valuable information. Now I have something to listen to during my cardio sessions.

awesome man!

 

[BodyMonster34]

Thanks bro.

I love Steak. I will incorporate it into my diet. However, I’m also mindful of iron rich diet and hematocrit/RBC.

bro i don't think it make a difference on that. more to do with steroids

 

[2Thick]

Thanks 2Thick.

1st year and a half was mostly cardio, calorie deficit and a lot of willpower. The cut from June this year to early September is when I saw my best result in shifting fat (specifically stomach fat). I used Reta which I started at 2mg/ week and maxed it at 4mg/wk. I paired this with 4IU of GH (all at night). This combination really helped with shifting some stomach fat.

However, this combination did come with some negatives. Sleep took a hit and I would go hypo a lot, especially early morning (3-6am).

I also had to rewire my mind when it came to food. I was a sugar addict and loved everything sweet. I now only indulge in sweet treats during special occasions (holidays/birthdays).

nice sounds like you overcame your sugar addiction

 

[Ulter]

Thanks Ulter.

That’s exactly what I want to do. Family members say that I look ill but than again, they were the same people who were telling me to lose weight.

ignore the negative comments. they are just jealous of your success. don't even Acknowledge them.

 

[ROIDDERS]

Thanks Roidders.

The workout is there but i want to use it to grow now. I’m hoping food+some test should help me along in that goal.

you will grow. check out the other logs and see what guys are doing. try and pinball ideas

Hi All,

Background:

Fat f**k who weighed over 100kg 2 years ago but lost it after getting his act together. I’ve lifted on and off for much of my life but stopped for several years till restarting in October 2023. I’ve been in a calorie deficit for the past 2 years (with some diet brakes sprinkled in between). My life before 2023 mostly focused on gaming but that has changed since starting my fat loss phase. I’m now obsessed with the gym and bodybuilding. All I do now is watch bodybuilding videos on YouTube (chase irons/Big Paul/Dr Todd Lee ect) and read cycle logs. I’ve recently started listening to the Evolutionary podcast on Spotify.

Excellent transformation thats wjat it is all about you look super healthy welcome into the community

 

[Major London]

For your goals right now I think 5g/day is fine. When you go over 10g it becomes more of a nootropic and ensures your muscles are fully saturated.

You did what I did. I was 270lbs, cut down to 190lbs and built it up to 210lbs of muscle. You're at that point where you can start to build with all the fat and mass you've stripped off.

You look great mate. I would be well chuffed if I look anything close to you.

Update 2 Pre-cycle:


Monday:


Went to do my bloodwork in the morning at my local Superdrugs. I must have got the trainee nurse because it took her 2 tries before hitting the right vein. Had blood drawn many times and this only happens via superdrugs. The blood draw left a dark bruise which did sting during my push workout later on in the day. Posted the bloodwork to the labs prior to post collection cut off point, so fingers crossed I hear back by Friday.


Workout:


Monday was a push day and that rest day on Sunday made a difference. Felt energized and completed my workout in a hour. I did have to improvise with some exercises as the gym was ram packed with people.


Tuesday


I woke up this morning and did my usual routine of going to the bathroom and then weighing myself. I’ve also started consuming 2ltrs of water mixed with electrolytes after weighing myself. Thought I would get in the habit of drinking more water now before I start my cycle. I also drink a further 3ltrs throughout the day. I think 5ltrs plus frequent cardio should help with health markers whilst on cycle.


My sleep has greatly improved ever since I stopped using Reta. My problem was never falling asleep but the issue was with staying asleep. Now I sleep for a good 5 hours before waking up for a bathroom/water break and go straight back to sleep. Previously, going back to sleep after waking up was impossible for me. I don’t know how exogenous test is going to impact my sleep now that it’s improving, but I will soon find out.


Workout


Today was my designated pull day. I had sporadically kept a tab on how much weight I was lifting for each exercise the last 2 months. I’m now knuckling down on this so I can compare pre cycle with post cycle and see if there has been change in strength.


Final thoughts:


As the cycle fast approaches, I’m getting a little greedy with the dose I should start with. On one hand 300mg may allow me to manage sides better but 400-500 may give me better gains. Everyone always talks about how you have to make the first cycle count. Any thoughts on this guys/ and gals? Should I play it safe and stick to 300 or push the dose to 400-500?

Should I play it safe and stick to 300 or push the dose to 400-500?

First of all, this is amazing! You got RIPPED!

Did I read correctly, you achieved this with 2mg reta/wk and 4iu GH daily? For two years?

And this will be your first cycle, you never used AAS?
You are doing a cycle, and will PCT?
With what you’ve already accomplished I think you’re going to do big things. If you maximize your first cycle the only thing you need to ask yourself is… how are you going to respond to absolutely everyone knowing without a doubt in the world that you are juicing? Hahaha. You’ve done everything right. You’ve got the will and the commitment and the follow through. You better start buying bigger clothes now hahahaha

Update 2 Pre-cycle:


Monday:


Went to do my bloodwork in the morning at my local Superdrugs. I must have got the trainee nurse because it took her 2 tries before hitting the right vein. Had blood drawn many times and this only happens via superdrugs. The blood draw left a dark bruise which did sting during my push workout later on in the day. Posted the bloodwork to the labs prior to post collection cut off point, so fingers crossed I hear back by Friday.


Workout:


Monday was a push day and that rest day on Sunday made a difference. Felt energized and completed my workout in a hour. I did have to improvise with some exercises as the gym was ram packed with people.


Tuesday


I woke up this morning and did my usual routine of going to the bathroom and then weighing myself. I’ve also started consuming 2ltrs of water mixed with electrolytes after weighing myself. Thought I would get in the habit of drinking more water now before I start my cycle. I also drink a further 3ltrs throughout the day. I think 5ltrs plus frequent cardio should help with health markers whilst on cycle.


My sleep has greatly improved ever since I stopped using Reta. My problem was never falling asleep but the issue was with staying asleep. Now I sleep for a good 5 hours before waking up for a bathroom/water break and go straight back to sleep. Previously, going back to sleep after waking up was impossible for me. I don’t know how exogenous test is going to impact my sleep now that it’s improving, but I will soon find out.


Workout


Today was my designated pull day. I had sporadically kept a tab on how much weight I was lifting for each exercise the last 2 months. I’m now knuckling down on this so I can compare pre cycle with post cycle and see if there has been change in strength.


Final thoughts:


As the cycle fast approaches, I’m getting a little greedy with the dose I should start with. On one hand 300mg may allow me to manage sides better but 400-500 may give me better gains. Everyone always talks about how you have to make the first cycle count. Any thoughts on this guys/ and gals? Should I play it safe and stick to 300 or push the dose to 400-500?

Bloods should be back quick, bruising happens sometimes if they miss the vein but nothing to worry about. @Major London

Training looks good, push and pull both in with energy high, and you’re already tracking lifts tighter which will make comparing pre and post cycle easy. But we need more details, sets reps weights etc.

Dropping retatrutide clearly helped your sleep, 5 hours straight then back out after a bathroom break is much better than being up all night. Ar eyou saying Retatrutide was clearly related to sleep issue?

Water intake at 5ltrs with electrolytes plus cardio is a solid base for health markers going into gear.

For the cycle, start slow at 300mg, see how your body handles it, and pyramid up later if sides are in check. No need to rush into 400-500mg, you’ll grow plenty on the lower dose for a first run and leave room to increase when you need it. Do you have all supps on hand?

 

[Major London]

Update blood results:

Surprised with my LDL and cholesterol especially seeing as I’ve been doing regular cardio and I’m not overweight, smoke or drink. Only thing that I can think of that may have impacted my cholesterol is the Slupp32 I started to use the last 4 weeks of my cut and experimenting with Proviron at 20mg a day for 50 days to free up free tests/pump. But would 20mg of proviron/day and slu cause this type of cholesterol?

I eat beef once a day and chicken once a day. My diet is free from fried food (last I had this is 2 years ago).

Along with slu and proviron I took Reta, Chinese Cialis and GH. I also used Chinese ivermectin for 3 weeks. I think I might have to throw out these Chinese pills.

I’ve attached my bloodwork from April 2025 and Sep 2025. A significant drop in Estrogen but that cholesterol is worrying. The blood was drawn fasted.

Thanks for your kind words bro.

Sorry I was probably not clear in my post. I started to use Reta in June and GH in late July. The rest was achieved without any Reta and GH. In June I weighed around 74kg.

I’m hoping to do a cycle but the cholesterol bloodwork is kind throwing a spanner in the works. If I were to do a cycle, I would just go down to a cruise dose instead of PCT.

I won’t need to buy bigger clothes. Still have all my clothes from when I was far .

 

[toddthelineman]

Bloodwork is back but somewhat worrying on the cholesterol part.

LDL is often high in some people for no particular reason, and can be high without causing arterial plaque. Most athletes have high LDL, and most heart attacks happen with normal LDL. It’s quite complicated and not fully understood, but when throwing PEDs into the picture it’s very wise to err on the side of caution. You won’t actually know what your risk is AT ALL, without heart imaging. In my personal opinion, you’d be fine with a mild cycle and then just sticking to the healthy lifestyle you’ve developed.

Thank you for your input. Crazy part is my cholesterol was really good in 2024 blood test I did at my Dr practice. I was around 80kg. Might have to cut out the red meat and just stick to chicken breast.

What do you think about the bloodwork?

Cholesterol always comes back skewed on cycle, even just test on its own, so don’t stress it like a general doc would. What matters more is liver, kidney, blood pressure, and e2 staying in range, the rest is expected and manageable. You’re a bodybuilder not an old guy trying to keep LDL perfect, so as long as the rest of the health markers are steady and you keep using basics like fish oil, citrus bergamot, and a clean diet you’ll be fine. I do think n2guard is a must for you though @Major London

I’ve ordered some more supplements. I did read that a significant drop in weight over a short period of time and poor sleep can also skew lipids.

Looks like we start the cycle on Monday (300). Can’t wait to transform my physique over the next 6 weeks.

@Major London what Lev said is true. but also keep in mind any type of foreign compound that goes into your body can cause things like cholesterol and liver #'s to be off. that is pretty standard. all the more reason to do some fasting throughout the year where you come off EVERYTHING to cleanse things out

Update 3:


I hit legs on Wednesday hard. Deep squats using 60kg weights (PR for me). Legs have always been an afterthought for me compared to other body parts, but I started focusing on them the past 2 months.


Legs:


Barbell Back Squats** – 4 sets ×10-12 reps— 60kg


Romanian Deadlifts** – 4 sets × 12reps-30kg. I could lift more but I was focusing on stretching the hamstring. Going slow on the stretch.


Leg Extensions** – 4 sets × 12 reps-39kg. I went demon mode on this exercise (picture the video of Dr Mike
Israeltile-that was me). I could barely walk after this one.


Seated Calf Raises** – 4 sets × failure-59kg. Your standard seated calf raises. Going for the burning feeling and going until I could not handle it anymore. Calf’s are a weak point of my body. I will probably have to hit them more often during the week compared to the x2 I’m doing now.


Finished off the day with some machine ab crunches-32kg to failure.


I noticed something (whilst sitting down in my shorts) that I never did before. I have veins now running through my upper quads. Not many but much more than before. These started appearing after increasing my carbs intake.


I couldn’t do my lower on Saturday because my legs were still in pain from Wednesdays session. I swapped it out for a back day.


Back:


Deadlifts (Conventional)** – 4 sets × 10 reps-60kg (PR).


My back is my strongest muscle and I think this is a body part which will see a rapid increase in weights in the coming weeks.


Diverging Lat Pull ** – 4 sets × 12 reps-45kg


T-Bar Rows (close grip)** – 4 sets × 10 reps-60kg


Machine Rows ** – 4 sets × 12 reps-
57kg



Diet/Supplements:


I’ve decided to remove the bagel meal and instead add a pre/intra/post workout meal.


1) Pre: 5g of pomegranate powder, 5g of Beetroot powder, 2 small spoons of black coffee. X1 banana (small)-pump on this pre feels nice.


2) Intra: scoop of Cyclic Dextrin,5g creatine.


3) Post: 250ml of water, 1 scoop of protein powder, 30g of Rice Krispies.


Total new calories: 2511 (P187/C305/fat53)



On top of the supplements I listed in my intro post. I’ve added Krill oil, psyllium husk, red yeast rice, Citrus Bergamot, CO Q10. N2Guard


Looking forward to taking my first Test shot tomorrow. Going for the upper glutes (can’t go wrong with that). I’ll update on how that went in the coming days.

@Major London what Lev said is true. but also keep in mind any type of foreign compound that goes into your body can cause things like cholesterol and liver #'s to be off. that is pretty standard. all the more reason to do some fasting throughout the year where you come off EVERYTHING to cleanse things out

@Major London Bros. A lot of things affect your cholesterol. Could also be your diet as well. But I think probably a combination of everything plus your history.

Thanks CEO. True. My cholesterol has always been skewed. It’s one of the reasons I started my weight loss journey. First step is to increase my HDL by introducing EFA into my diet. During my cut I saw fats as the enemy. Have to change that.

Cheers Roidders. I will be throwing as much supplements at it whilst keeping diet clean. My main goal before next bloodwork is increasing HDL.

I’ve also spoken to my Dr who said although it’s elevated, he’s not too concerned as I exercise regularly. He did warn against further weight loss and said he’ll order some full blood work in 6m. This will include NMR blood test and heart imaging. This is perfect as I would have completed my cycle by then and I can see the damage (if any).

Fasting is so clutch for reasons you mentioned

 

[toddthelineman]

LDL and cholesterol especially seeing as I’ve been doing regular cardio and I’m not overweight, smoke or drink.

You could be an Olympic athlete, in a controlled environment, and have high ldl.

will definitely reintroduce it once I’m done with this cycle.

I haven’t really intentionally fasted, but I have fasted. I wonder if it’s not a bad idea to do it on cycle in some cases. After all, you won’t lose much muscle with the hormones in place.

try to increase my HDL above 1 before next bloodwork.

Best fish oil you can get and eat wild caught fish. The cycle is going to lower the hdl further, but I have been able to keep mine from completely tanking. Not everyone does though

my Dr who said although it’s elevated, he’s not too concerned as I exercise regularly.

Everything I’ve studied agrees with him. LDL by itself tells you nothing. If inflammation is causing the LDL to stick to your arteries, then you have trouble. And it will stick whether the number is high or low, but it does make sense that the process of atherosclerosis would be slower if there is less LDL.

Look up Dr Ben Bikman’s content on LDL, lipids, heart disease etc for cutting edge phd research that he does personally, and publishes. He shares it freely. Excellent resource.

 

[toddthelineman]

Hey we were talking about cholesterol. What about psyllium husk? I didn’t see that in your supplement list. You do seem to be getting a reasonable amount of fiber otherwise, but a lot of the big guys on here believe it’s really important. I forget to take it a lot because you aren’t supposed to take it with your other supplements.

Leg day looked great, hitting 60kg squats and 30kg RDLs with control shows real improvement and the quad veins prove the extra carbs are doing their job. That leg extension finisher must’ve been brutal, perfect for bringing out more detail. Back day numbers are climbing too with solid pulls at 60kg and strong T-bar rows keeping everything balanced. Though for back pull ups are king.

Diet changes make sense, that pre and intra combo will give better endurance and recovery. Good call starting the first test pin in the upper glute, easy angle and smooth spot for new starts.

Update 4:

Mon:

Injection:

Took my first shot today. Took a few minutes to get the right dose in the syringe. My experience from GH shots taught me that there’s always some liquid in the tip of the needle. So I pulled to 0.4ml and then removed the needle and pulled the remaining 0.1ml from the draw needle into the syringe, getting the perfect 0.5ml (100mg).

I took my shot lying down with a 25g 1”. I didn’t even have to go fully in (although I did) to get into the muscle. I heard 2 pops ½” in but pushed further to ensure deep into the glutes. Felt no pain going in and barely any blood (just a smidge when I was wiping the area with alcohol wipe).


The test cyp from Critical was super smooth. Easy to draw and I didn’t even have to warm the oil to inject. I’ve attached the latest certificate that was done by a customer. Test is accurately dosed so my 300mg/w is on point.

Push:


Incline Dumbbell Press** – 4 sets × 12—48kg. my strength has greatly suffered during this last cut. I used to dumbbell press 64kg for 12 and 68kg for 8 before the cut. This shows my cut was too aggressive and this has resulted in strength and muscle loss. Will do things a lot different in future cuts.

Incline Dumbbell Flyes** – 4 sets × 10— 28kg

Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press** – 4 sets × 10—44kg. Another exercise which has suffered from loss of strength due to the cut. 4 months ago I shoulder pressed 52kg for 10.

Seated Triceps Push** – 4 sets × 12—54kg

Lateral Raises (Dumbbell)** – 4 sets × 8—28kg. Previous week It was 24 so up by 4kg on this exercise.


Tuesday:

It’s the day after my first injection and the area feels a bit sore. But no inflammation ect. I’ve never pinned IM so could be that. I’m planning to pin as many parts of the body as possible to get the muscle used to it and avoid scar tissue build up.

Pull


Plate loaded Machine lat pull**4 sets ×10-12 —110kg. This exercise saw a significant jump in strength since stopping the cut. Doubled weight over the last 3 weeks.


Plate Chest-Supported Row Machine** – 4 sets × 12—40kg


Reverse peck deck** – 4 sets × 14—39kg. It’s time to increase the weight on this.


Hammer Curl** – 4 sets × 12 reps—16kg dumbbells


Pull ups**– 4 sets × faults


Wednesday:

Took my 2nd 100mg injection this morning in my left glute. Now trying to figure out where the Ventro glute is for my Friday shot. Every video I watched on YouTube shows a different place. Some show below the hip and others at the back (near the leg bone). I laid down and moved my legs up and down and a muscle does pop (below the hip) but not sure if it’s the correct position. Worst case scenario I’ll just pin quads on Friday.


Quick update on the diet. Pushed the calories to 2560. Weight gain has been stagnant for the past 2 weeks. I also noticed crono was tracking net carbs instead of total. My total daily carb intake is 332g instead 305.

Sometimes we do damage to our bodies over time. @Major London I bet that your blood work before was much worse, maybe this blood work shows, you're actually improving. So don't look at it in a bad light.

Thanks Ulter and you’re correct my bloodwork was a lot worse when I was overweight. A lot of inflammation issues which has resolved itself now. Just have to knuckle down on the cholesterol and all should be fine going forward (fingers crossed)

 

[Major London]

You could be an Olympic athlete, in a controlled environment, and have high ldl.

I haven’t really intentionally fasted, but I have fasted. I wonder if it’s not a bad idea to do it on cycle in some cases. After all, you won’t lose much muscle with the hormones in place.

Best fish oil you can get and eat wild caught fish. The cycle is going to lower the hdl further, but I have been able to keep mine from completely tanking. Not everyone does though

Everything I’ve studied agrees with him. LDL by itself tells you nothing. If inflammation is causing the LDL to stick to your arteries, then you have trouble. And it will stick whether the number is high or low, but it does make sense that the process of atherosclerosis would be slower if there is less LDL.

Look up Dr Ben Bikman’s content on LDL, lipids, heart disease etc for cutting edge phd research that he does personally, and publishes. He shares it freely. Excellent resource.

Thanks Todd. Will definitely check out Dr Ben.

 

[Major London]

Hey we were talking about cholesterol. What about psyllium husk? I didn’t see that in your supplement list. You do seem to be getting a reasonable amount of fiber otherwise, but a lot of the big guys on here believe it’s really important. I forget to take it a lot because you aren’t supposed to take it with your other supplements.

Hey Todd, yes I’ve now added Psyllium Husk along with flax seeds. I stick it in my oats shake.

 

[Major London]

Good add some n2guard and do a picture of all your supps please @Major London

The amount of supplements I’m on now will probably need 2 pictures . But i will take pic when I get a chance.

 

[Major London]

Leg day looked great, hitting 60kg squats and 30kg RDLs with control shows real improvement and the quad veins prove the extra carbs are doing their job. That leg extension finisher must’ve been brutal, perfect for bringing out more detail. Back day numbers are climbing too with solid pulls at 60kg and strong T-bar rows keeping everything balanced. Though for back pull ups are king.

Diet changes make sense, that pre and intra combo will give better endurance and recovery. Good call starting the first test pin in the upper glute, easy angle and smooth spot for new starts.

Thanks Lev. Hopefully the numbers keep climbing as I progress through the cycle.

 

[Major London]

Nice work on the transformation brother. Great starting point for a first cycle.

Thanks Tricks. skinny now but I hope to put on some lean muscle.

 

[Major London]

@Major London it’s a little high the cholesterol but nothing to worry yet. I’d say if you drop your red meat some you’ll be back within range

I’ve dropped my red meat intake to once a week. The remainder of the week is fish and chicken.

 

[Major London]

That's a great plan. It's good that you care about your body.

Thanks 2thick. If I’m going to do steroids then looking after my health is important.

you are a smart man
you can lift if you are dead!

 

[LevButlerov]

Thanks Lev. Hopefully the numbers keep climbing as I progress through the cycle.

you'll be growing soon

Update 5 (wk 2 of cycle)


Hope all at Evo family are doing well. It’s been a busy week for me, but thought I’ll post a quick update.


I’m now 6 injections in and my hormones are experiencing some significant changes. I experience night sweats. I don’t know if it’s due to high E2, but I don’t feel anything else other than the night sweats. My weight has shot up, even though I’m still eating the same things I was previously.


Weight pre cycle-57.7kg

Wk1 of cycle-58.5kg

Wk 2 of cycke- 60.4kg


That’s a 2.7kg increase in 2 weeks. Weight increase may be down to water weight as I don’t look like I’ve gained fat when looking in the mirror.

I’ve so far pinned my glutes, Ventro and 1 quad. The quad pin gave me some discomfort for 3 days but recovered enough for my leg day on Wednesday. I’ll keep quad pins on mondays as it gives some time to recover before my leg workout.

In terms of diet, nothing has changed since my last update. I keep red meats to once a week and the remainder of the week I eat chicken and fish.

On supplements, I believe I spent more on this than my gear. I take 4g of fish oil daily along with fibre supplements.


Some workouts have seen improvements when it comes to PR whilst others are somewhat stagnant. This could be due to me going all out on some exercises and when I come round to the last exercise, I’m too fatigued. Will change up exercise order to see if fatigue is to blame. Personally as long as I can feel the muscle has had a good workout/pump, I don’t really care about PR. I doubt 300mg a week of test is going to turn me into a strong man over night. I care more about form and the pump. A PR on a particular workout is just a bonus.

I do wonder what dose all the people who rave about test and libido are on, because my drive is still at the same level when I was natural. I can perform when the need arises, but I’m not experiencing out of control sexual desires like so many rave about on Reddit and other forums. Maybe this will all change when it has fully saturated.

In future updates i will post pictures of my food and supplements I’m running. I’ll take some pictures of my physique 4 weeks in and continue to do so every 3-4 weeks.


Ciao Bella for now.

Pics of supplements:

I have more on the way (Niacin,fenugreek,zinc,K2)


Hopefully the supplements should help with my elevated cholesterol (along with diet and exercise)


Below is a pic of my pharmacy stash (just in case). Better to have them and not need it.

Ezitimbe, Telemisartan, rosuvastatin, metformin, accutane, tretinoin, tamoxifen, Raloxifine, Aromosin, Adex, viagra, cialis, antibiotic


Below are pics 2 weeks in. I don’t see much change from my original pics but thought I’ll post. Maybe others can notice something.

 

[toddthelineman]

You are planing on NEVER having acne hahaha. Accutane really works man. I used it. Wasn’t too great at first. Kept the dose lower and it was fine. It’s a shame it’s so bad for you, it makes your skin amazing glow. I was like, golden. Less wrinkles. People really noticed

Libido: I don’t get too much increase from test but dht, particularly masteron, there’s a point where I can’t even take it because libido is basically out of control. My baseline libido can be annoying already. I was always that way. I can barely sleep if there’s a woman in my bed. Everyone is different

and mostly water retention from the test is likely causing night sweats, which are normal when e2 rises but if you feel fine otherwise there is no need to adjust yet.

best feature you have is your arms IMO @Major London You got some impressive peaks for a guy who has more of a lanky frame. I think you have good genetics for bodybuilding. Take advantage.

My baseline libido can be annoying already. I was always that way. I can barely sleep if there’s a woman in my bed. Everyone is different

The accutane is a last resort. Currently I shower twice a day and use sulphor/zinc soap. I change bed sheets and gym clothes regularly. I’ve been obsessively looking for any pimples ect but so far so good (touch wood)

I hope not use acutane. Heard it dries your skin out and gives you some bad side effects.

Good pin rotation plan keeping quads early in the week for recovery before leg day. though you do know that pinning quads is a bad idea? @Major London

Thanks Lev.

Yes I heard Quads is a bad place to pin but thought I would try for my self to have more options when it come to pinning. I don’t want scar tissue to build up so thought rotating sites would prevent this. I did pin my R quad on Monday and surprisingly it went a lot better than the left one. I aimed for the upper outside muscle. I felt some PIP for a day but I recovered the day after. By day 3 I didn’t feel anything whereas the left quad I felt it for the entire week.

 

[toddthelineman]

Yeah it dries your skin out, possibly permanently. I had some stomach issues and maybe psychological effects until I lowered the dose. Then it was fine.

 

[Major London]

You're looking good and lean but don't use antibiotics, what do you have them for?

I have them just in case I get an infection from pinning. I’ve seen a few horror pics of people pinning (possibly contaminated gear) and in turn getting a massive lump where they have to drain it. I hope not use it but have it just in case.
