Approved Log Testosterone Blast Cycle Log

[MontanaGreco]

Stats:

age: 28

height: 188cm / 6’2

Weight: 100kg - 105kg

years training: 8 years



cycle history:

I’ve been cycling with steroids for roughly 6-7 years, my first few cycles were a disaster because I had no idea what I was doing, but I can remember everything I’ve ran over the years:

• TEST (SUST, ENAN, CYP, PROP)
• Tren (Ace/Enan)
• DECA
• DBOL
• ANADROL
• NPP
• EQ
• WINSTROL
• ANAVAR
• CLENBUTEROL
• HGH
• HCG
• CLOMID
• NOLVADEX
• ARIMIDEX

I can’t recall all of my cycles but to sum things up I didn’t run things properly and experienced a lot of sides with my first cycles under my belt, now primarily I run testosterone cycles only. I’ve recently front loaded one of my blasts with dbol, but that’s about it in terms of stacking.



Last 3 blasts I ran were testosterone only, and my highest dosage was 800mg a week, with 1mg arimidex EOD.

Realized arimidex was drying out my joints and making me feel shittier than I should be feeling so I stopped it entirely.



My recent cycle was 400mg of T400 weekly from pur pharma, and I had stopped arimidex entirely, currently been tapering off the 400mg, to 200mg for last 4 weeks, and this week at 80mg or 0.2ml for (2) weeks before I blast again.



My next blast I want to run testosterone again, will be using oxygen pharma to supply the gear.



Cycle I plan to run in July:

500mg of testosterone weekly most likely T400 just to save money.



Dosing schedule: 500mg every Sunday

Site injections: Glutes, Delts, and Pecs

On hand: Arimidex

Libido help: Cialis 80mg, and 20mg



I’d like to front load the cycle with test prop though because I don’t want to wait for my levels to build. I just want to start tearing shit.



Goals:

body weight: 110kg/240lb/245lb

bench press pr: 142kg / 315lb

squat pr: 142kg / 315lb

military press: 102kg / 225lb

deadlift: N/A ( I do not train this movement )



Last cycles PRs:

bench press: 130kg / 285lb x 2

squat: 125kg / 275lb x 1

military press: 61kg x 135lb x 6



I suffer from 2 hernias in my L4 and L5, and consequently I have nerve damage in my left arm. I have this massive lump on my left back that affects my posture and rib cage placement for those reasons squatting is harder than normal for me, and I avoid deadlifts because that’s how I developed the hernia injuries.



In 2025 I finally got diagnosed for a hyperthyroid that destroyed my gains from 2023 through 2024 I lost around 45lbs was 225lb on average and this disease brought me down to 180lb (my lowest since 2018)

It also made me experience muscle atrophy, and severe strength loss, my muscles would fatigue after just a few warm up reps, and didn’t matter how much gear I ran or calories I ate.



Been on methimazole for roughly 1 year started at 10mg to 5mg and now 2.5mg (as per instructed by endocrinologist) and will probably be taking this drug for another few years or possibly for lifetime.



but have consistently gained back my weight and strength, so I can say the last 2 cycles I ran were mainly just recouping everything I lost from the hyperthyroid.



Sleep quality is good, I get a full night sleep of 6+ hours, and I am going to try and discipline my sleep to exactly 6.00 hrs a night.



eating: for this cycle I will be eating a high carb, high protein, moderate fats diet .



I’m leaning on higher carbs to be able to lift heavier consistently.



My goals are not aesthetic driven they are more strength and power building. I want to gain massive size while staying lean strong and lethal. My core is my biggest weakness and injured back.



Supplements I take:

• creatine
• Magnesium
• Calcium
• D3
• Omega 3/6/9
• Ashwaganda root
• Maca root
• Spirulina
• Whey protein

Protein sources for diet:

Chicken, beef, pork, eggs, whey protein powder, collagen powder, white fish, Greek yogurt



Carbs: Rice, potatoes, oats, sourdough bread, garlic naans, and grains



Fats: olive oil, butter, animal fats, dairy, and eggs



Fruits, and veggies as long as I feel like it lol



Let me know what you guys think,

I will upload day 1 pics, and post a weekly update pic.

Can also post my weight training schedule and plan as soon as I create it.

Total macros and dose will be posted once finalized.



Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the EVO family and EVO logging bro.

Just post a pic up of your base physique for us (current) and we'll get this in the mod queue for approval, give it 24 hours.

You have some experience under your belt with a good work ethic I think this log will be good times!

will be using oxygen pharma to supply the gear

Best choice in Canada bro to go with @OxygenPharm, smart move!

I avoid deadlifts because that’s how I developed the hernia injuries.

I have a small one too from doing heavy deads

but have consistently gained back my weight and strength, so I can say the last 2 cycles I ran were mainly just recouping everything I lost from the hyperthyroid.

Great work getting this back

eating: for this cycle I will be eating a high carb, high protein, moderate fats diet .

Smart choice, a good start to your log.

 

[stevesmi]

that is a huge list of steroids to have under your belt and you aren't even 30 yet.
def get a log going and lets see what we can work on with diet/training

I took some pics last night but I’m just dealing with blurring out my tattoos atm. I used ChatGPT to do it for me but it’s changing my entire physique which won’t do any good for you guys giving me advice.

Sorry for delay man!!

Smart choice, a good start to your log.

Thank you bro! I tried replying in our DM chat but for some reason I keep getting an error that my message looks like spam. I just wanted to let you know that’s why I haven’t been able to reply to you man.

Pics coming by end of this week just having trouble with blurring out my tattoos but I will figure it out 100% and get this cycle + log going. I’m super excited.

 

[MontanaGreco]

def get a log going and lets see what we can work on with diet/training

Yea I was trying everything when I was really young, most of those cycles were just ran terribly and wasted.

Since around age 23 I’ve stuck to just testosterone as my body manages it very well, and kept my dosages minimal between 175mg a week to 250mg a week. As I progressed and my physique grew , I have only recently started going up into the 400mg a week - 800mg a week range for blasts.

I used dbol to front load my cycle in 2024 summer , and then kept a minimal dose for pre workout 1 tab a day before training till the end of my cycle - I read that DBOL helps with the release of free testosterone when you stop. Then I also read that’s been debunked so not sure.

 

[Kingofspades712]

Only one way to gain size while being/staying lean year around and that’s get lean first. Preferably 7-9% BF then bulk never going past 15% BF. Rinse and repeat. After about 3 years you’ll have put on a ton of lean muscle while having a 6 pack. Obviously more to it than that, but that’s the basic formula. Two cycles(blasts) a year a cut and a bulk

 

[Kingofspades712]

I like to schedule my mass phase in the fall-winter. And my cut to where I’m finishing right in the peak of summer

view a cycle as a blessing

I don’t know if I agree with the statement “only one way” but that’s definitely one of the best ways.

Consider the definition of lean in bodybuilding versus generally staying lean with size for powerlifting / compound lifts will differ significantly.

I don’t care much for a 6 pack or abs, I might have when I was younger but since 25 my goals have differed significantly.

When I was 22 I could eat 3 slices of pizza and my stomach would be bloated for a week.

Now days I can eat a whole pizza to my face and I’m flat. I attribute this to the amount of muscle mass I’ve put on, I tolerate larger amounts of calories much better.

My goal is to get strong within my lifts, which will ultimately help me grow in size. Which will then help me when I plan to cut and polish off the physique with a cut. But no where do I see a cut being on my priorities anytime soon.

I’m trying to get strong. Big and freaky.

Getting bloated has nothing to do with how well you handle calories. That’s just how your body is digesting food. If you stay flat it’s because you’re in a slight deficit or right at maintenance calorically. calories in calories out. That’ll never change

Never once claimed that or said anything in regards to calories in vs out. What I was saying is that my body with significantly more muscle mass tolerates an influx of calories better than my body at a lower muscle mass. This has everything to do with one’s metabolic rate higher muscle mass = higher metabolism = breaking down the calories or using them up significantly more effective than one with lower muscle mass.

Don’t get me wrong not trying to be argumentative with you or anything, just being clear about what I said vs what you think I said.

 

[MontanaGreco]

Ahh so our definitions of lean are different

I wouldn’t say on a personal level they are, I understand the definition of bodybuilding lean. 5-7% body fat

I’m just making the distinction for my said goal to be lean during this cycle is not for bodybuilding standards, but primarily for strength training and muscle building.

If I can make strength gains at 15-16% body fat with a caloric surplus I’ll be super happy with that.

But I don’t want to drop calories to get under 10% BF , and on contrary I’m not trying to reach 20%+ body fat to gain strength gains on my lifts.

 

[Kingofspades712]

What is your current BF

 

[MontanaGreco]

What is your current BF

Right now I believe I’m at 15-18% body fat
With pics I can help you guys determine that number better,
I’m working on it I just want to set up a specific lighting and background so they each weekly update is same lighting and background to ensure I don’t look different from lighting each picture I update.

Also trying to figure out the removal of my tatts from the pics.

Sorry for the delay

Still waiting @MontanaGreco ... check DM's

 

[MontanaGreco]

At last … sorry for the delay, here are some current physique photos from last night.

I had my first gym session back at the gym,
I’m 2 weeks on 400mg oxygen pharma t400 blend.

My gf can’t stand me because all I want to do is tear her apart every 2 seconds.
This stuff is legit. I’m really happy. Happy as fuck

Currently my weight is sitting at around 103kg.

Please keep in mind, the last 2 months I’ve been eating whatever I want , of course with high protein … but lots of enjoying.

I’m dialling in now, starting tomorrow Monday will be week 1 of the above diet and program.

I figure it’s best that I take photos after a pump in the gym, in the same mirror to update the log and keep consistency.

any advice and help with this will be greatly appreciated !

I couldn’t get my bloods done before starting the t400.

Will get them checked during though and post my results when I have them.

Thanks for posting pics bro!

Great size and you look hard too. Great base for us to work with!

You missed baseline bloods so can we do bloodwork week # 4 for @OxygenPharm at 400mg?

**mod queue for log approval**

Nah thank you legend!

I’m not happy with my current state but all the more reason to lock in on this.

Sorry for missing the bloods. Shouldn’t be a problem to have them done by week #4

I figure it’s best that I take photos after a pump in the gym, in the same mirror to update the log and keep consistency.

any advice and help with this will be greatly appreciated !

I couldn’t get my bloods done before starting the t400.

Will get them checked during though and post my results when I have them.

you look good, really strong shoulders and arms, size is there are you going to get bloods soon? @MontanaGreco

For now cardio will just be hitting the heavy bag on rest days in my backyard.

you have a good base! @MontanaGreco

I will post after each completed training day ,
I’ll post daily all my meals even if I miss a few ,
And weekly I’m gonna upload physique updates

Sorry yes I meant grams I always wrongly use mg for creatine I don’t know why.

I try to let my body digest the food on its own but if you’re recommending it daily I’ll give them a go!

Here are today’s meals:

Meal 1:
4 whole eggs with 3 sour dough sliced bread ace bakery brand with 2 tbsp of non salted butter (Protein: 41g Fat: 46g Carbs: 82g)

Meal 2: Catelli protein pasta, 4 large ground beef & turkey meatballs, marinara sauce
(Protein: 49g, Fat: 19g, Carbs: 73g)


Meal 3: 250g ground beef & turkey mix, 3 small russet potatoes, and 2 squirts of kinder bbq sauce (Protein: 56g, Fat: 36g, Carbs: 83g)


Meal 4 before bed: Shamrock Shake,
1 scoop quick oats, 2 scoop vanilla whey ON, 2 cups milk, 1tbsp spirulina, 1tbsp maca powder, 10gram creatine, and 1 cup frozen triple berry blend.
(Protein: 62g, Fat: 12g, Carbs: 45g)

Total Daily Macros:
Protein: 216g
Fat: 149g
Carbs: 326g

These are rough estimates cause I don’t measure , I cook large portions and then eyeball each meal.

Also, I use a lot of olive oil. So my fats are probably closer to 180g.

 

[MontanaGreco]

Week 1 - Day 1: completed

Squats at 170lb felt heavy on rep 4,

Leg curls easy peasy

Farmer carries easy but left hand losing grip cause of ulnar nerve damage

I managed to bring down the fats down to around 100grams today.
Will tweak around it more and hit that 90 threshold.

I added the psyllium husk as recommended

I think I need to up my calories to 3k minimum.

No training today, didn’t have much sleep, errands all day. And sore.

Will have a heavy lift tomorrow,
And going to dial in this food better.

Thank you bro - will check back in tomorrow with an update.

[MontanaGreco]

It’s just a bag I filled from bulk barn when I passed by , do u recommend a better brand?

 

[MontanaGreco]

Good protein level bro and that shake looks awesome.

Thanks bro gonna try to get that protein even higher same with the carbs.

Yes raw powder here’s the 3 bags I use

& if you’re talking about that shamrock shake I made it by accident lol. spirulina turns everything green and gives it a certain taste - in combination with the vanilla whey it reminds me of a McDonald shamrock shake. One of my weaknesses idk why. I can drink like 50 of those. Hate everything else at mcds tho

Very cool thanks for the pics the raw powder makes it easier in shakes I often see it in capsules

Thanks bro gonna try to get that protein even higher same with the carbs.

The digestive aids will be really useful with protein around 300g if you raise it.

Yes raw powder here’s the 3 bags I use

Thanks for pics very cool!

spirulina turns everything green and gives it a certain taste

Mine smells fishy and I chug it so fast I chase it with gatorade zero so not sure on the taste LOL

Definitely makes it easier and the shakes creamier too! I go to healthy planet just to see what’s on sale usually I find these bags or electrolyte packs for over 50% + off and I’ll pick up whatever they got.
Can’t go wrong when it’s like $5-$6 a bag or pack lol.

Yea a lot of people say the same for some reason i love the taste i dont know why. I love fish tho maybe that’s why

And definitely not man! lol maybe on a cheat day

Meals today, for some reason just didn’t have an appetite.

Pulled my neck somehow and could barely move it when I woke up. Thinking that was contributing factor to the low appetite.

good food today! but the neck situation, did you get a massage or chiro on it? @MontanaGreco

@HarleyGuy @Grumpy @LH5515 @Yuri @Koba @Trenhead3cc @Ohdamn @Dreamer @rizzlekdizzle @Kopite67

@HarleyGuy @Grumpy @LH5515 @Yuri @Koba @Trenhead3cc @Ohdamn @Dreamer @rizzlekdizzle @Kopite67

I get chiro 2x a week regularly
and I had chiro that Thursday morning before I trained at night.

I’m not sure what’s going on, I forgot to mention I received notes from nerve specialist for testing back in 2024.

I thought I just had l4 l5 but I have c4 c5 bulge and some left ulnar nerve weakness.

The left hands not improving I drop things regularly - this is what made me worried back in 2024 when I dropped pancake syrup and took me 7 days to get it clean. Then I started losing grip when driving.

Farmer carries help with the grip strength.

None of these injuries are going to stop me , just trying to work around them.

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated , trying everything.

 

[MontanaGreco]

Thank you man!
Just woke up and have more motion, still feels tight but much better.

 

[MontanaGreco]

Thank you bro!
i hope so too feels better today

 

[MontanaGreco]

@HarleyGuy @LevButlerov

I’m considering bumping up my test to 800mg a week 2x a week @ around week 5 or 6

Or

Adding 400mg NPP

Any opinions on this?

 

[HarleyGuy]

Meals today, for some reason just didn’t have an appetite.

Pulled my neck somehow and could barely move it when I woke up. Thinking that was contributing factor to the low appetite.

Still got in some good food despite the neck issue.
Pain can definitely blunt the appetite.

Let us know your plan with this if it isn't resolved in a couple days.

my main concern is the above injury, how do you feel with the neck situation? @MontanaGreco
my main concern we bump your test and you do more weight and get more injuries

how about adding 200 npp?

It seems to be getting better , if I can put it into perspective it was a 7-8 in terms of pain Thursday , gone down to 4-5 this evening

I do plan on only training 3-4 days and take necessary time off to recover for the big lifts.

So hopefully being off until Monday will get me back on track.

my main concern is the above injury, how do you feel with the neck situation? @MontanaGreco
my main concern we bump your test and you do more weight and get more injuries

how about adding 200 npp?

solid concern bro - neck feels much better pains at about a half now.

200mg NPP sounds sweet - keep the test at 400mg right?

I won’t go heavier on my lifts even if i feel stronger - what I’ll do instead is higher reps at lower weight after hitting my maxes.

good to hear

I would stay steady on test and add 200npp but not all 1st week, start 100mgs first see how you feel then ramp up

Bros, the shake looks really good to be honest with you. I like the fruit in the mix and that's some good stuff. @MontanaGreco

Thank you bro means a lot and really appreciate all your help it’s been very useful , super grateful for it bro! I try to stay away from the protein bars cause heavy processed foods mess my gut up really easily.

@MontanaGreco that's some good looking food right there. Really unique and interesting stuff.

Thank you man, I appreciate it. Trying really hard this time, can’t remember which bodybuilder said this but remember them saying “I eat the same thing everyday just in different ways so I don’t get bored” and that’s my approach. Keep the base foods whey, chicken, beef, fish, eggs, greek yogurt - just all mixed up different ways with different carbs.

Thank you bro, the fruit definitely give them that extra punch

Update:
Week 1 Complete
Week 2, Day 1 starts

Had a really rough day with the neck pain, could barely move.
Had to force myself to get up though and spent the rest of the day 1pm - midnight working non stop.

Had my girl cook my meals for me , couldn’t measure but I did know she used the last 300g chicken, and confirmed 7 whole eggs + 4 sourdough slices were added.

Shake I made now before bed.

Tomorrow will update with a progress photo , notice some minor changes. Excited to show

Going into week 2 stronger than week 1

see pics for meals and macros
