Hey everyone, new here!
As requested, I’m starting my first proper log so everyone can follow along and hopefully help where it makes sense.
Background:
I’m on doctor-prescribed TRT and have been for approximately 3 years after being diagnosed with hypogonadism. TRT completely changed my quality of life, and lifting has become a huge part of that.
I’m not actually starting this cycle for a couple more weeks, but I wanted to get this log started early to kick things off, gather feedback, and get some solid advice before I begin. I will be kickstarting 2 IU daily HGH right away though.
My goal with this log is to document everything honestly, the good, the bad, bloodwork, progress, diet, training, and side effects so I can make this my best cycle yet.
Current Stats
Age: 42
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 217 lb
Body Fat: ~15%
Training Experience: 5 years
Location: Alberta, Canada
Current Base Strength
Bench Press: 265 lb
Squat: 385 lb
Deadlift: 405 lb
I had previously posted with higher numbers that were logged during my last cycle. These numbers are recent and what I can lift on cruise dose and maintenance calories.
Previous Cycles
Cycle 1
500 mg Testosterone
Cycle 2
400 mg Testosterone
300 mg NPP
200 mg Masteron
Cycle 3
400 mg Testosterone
300 mg NPP
200 mg Masteron
Anavar at the end (this was a 6 week run at 25 mg per day pre workout with proviron also, and I suspect both the Anavar and Masteron may have been bunk
Current TRT
Physician prescribed TRT
Current dose: 180 mg/week Testosterone Cypionate (occasionally bumped to 200 mg) Pin EOD
No AI
Based on recent labs, I aromatize more than I originally thought.
Health Notes and bloodwork
My biggest recurring issue is Lipids and elevated RBC and hematocrit. That has kept me away from Equipoise despite being interested in trying it for mass gains.
I’m hoping the members here can help me monitor this closely throughout the cycle.
I’ve never had labs done mid-cycle before, as I’ve never run private labs and have had to plan carefully to keep everything aligned with my family doctor and TRT prescription. I need to sort out an option for running this privately. I’m in Alberta
I plan to post CBCs, hematocrit, lipids, liver values, kidney markers, testosterone, estradiol, and any other relevant bloodwork whenever available. Just need to find a way to do it and keep it off the record.
Last blood work (May 1 2026)
This was after tapering down for 3weeks at 150mg/week after cycle 3 to clean some stuff up for family doc and keep TRT going. Pinning 2x per week (blood drawn at trough)
Current health averages:
From whoop band ive only had a little over a week.

Peptide Use
I have experience with the following peptides:
-CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin: 500/500 mcg each night fasted before bed (currently running)
-BPC-157: use as needed
-Thymosin Alpha-1: use as needed
-Retatrutide: about to go on low dose at 0.5 mg. (I ran this before and attempted to titrate to 1.5 mg but it hit me hard and appetite dropped significantly)
-MOTS-C: ran previously but felt terrible—any increase in heart rate (zone 1/2) caused extreme nausea and forced me to stop workouts. I was also running Retatrutide at the same time, so I’m unsure which caused the issue. After stopping both for 1–2 weeks, everything returned to normal. I might try again with the addition of NAD+ now that I’ve run SS-31.
-SS-31: just completed a 3 week run at 2.5 mg per day.
Planned Cycle
Source: @Fusion Canada
(can I post that here?)
Main goals:
Mild cycle
Cutting, calorie deficit
Reduce body fat from approximately 15% down to 10–12%
Preserve as much strength as possible
Maintain fullness while cutting
Learn how I respond to legitimate Primobolan and HGH
Build a strong foundation before a larger bulk later this year
Planned duration:
12–16 weeks
Compounds:
Testosterone: 300 mg/week (EOD injections)
Primobolan: 300 mg/week (Looking for advice)
HGH: 2 IU daily (starting immediately)
Retatrutide: low dose
Anavar: possibly the final 6 weeks if progress and bloodwork look good
N2Guard throughout the cycle
Nutrition:
I track with Macrofactor app
I maintain weight on this currently:
Training Split:
I track with Hevy
Feel free to add me if you use it.

@mbone82
Current program:
I’m in the middle of making a change to really try to reduce some junk volume and variety.
But this is what do now, I do a Week A and a week B, rinse and repeat. I try to do 3 days on, 1 day off, and repeat: it’s a push pull legs.
(Due to picture upload max I can add pics from my hevy app on a later reply)
I’m planning on really simplifying things and doing less reps/volume variety and cut down to 5 Days a week and add cardio and more core (I don’t really do it.ever.)
I’ll log major lifts, some accessory work, strength changes and overall performance and feel.
Supplements
Current supplements:
Creatine 10-15mg
Omega-3 3000
Vitamin D3 5000
Magnesium Zma
CoQ10
Citrus Bergamot
Turmeric/Curcumin
Men’s Multivitamin
P5P 50
Caffeine/pre workout etc
Electrolytes
Greens
Going to simplify this and go for:
N2Guard (just before, during and just aftercycle)
I’ll keep the creatine and fish oil etc, whatever isn’t in N2guard
Hydrate more aggressively

Before lifting and TRT 5 years ago:
I can add more pics later to a reply due to a pic uploaded limit;
I appreciate everyone willing to follow along and provide feedback. One of the main reasons I’m here is to learn from people who have more experience than I do.
I’m especially interested in getting the Test-to-Primo ratio right given that I previously thought I didn’t aromatize much, but recent labs suggest otherwise, and I’ve historically struggled with elevated hematocrit. I welcome any suggestions as the log progresses.
Thanks all, hopefully this log fits the expectations!
