Current Situation:
160mg TRT/Week pinned once a week (TRT Clinic)
T3/T4 10.5MCG/40MCG ?!? Idk.... I take what they tell me (TRT Clinic)
2.5mg Tirzepitide pinned once a week (GP)
I first posted in the Bloodwork section of the forum because I've got some issues with high Hemacratic and low Ferritin. I'm starting this log to get to the root of low Ferritin for now because I feel like dog shit. Currently working out twice a day for a few reasons, a) I either work from home, which I can't fucking stand or I'm travelling to different projects throught the Western US in a high stress industry so letting someone else push me through workouts helps me for now b) I believe this low iron thing is causing me serious fatigue so tbh I workout with different trainers one in the morning and one in the afternoon right now because if I don't I feel like I'd never get off my ass to get my workouts in, even though I'm tired all the time I don't sleep well at all. Yes I'm capable of doing it on my own but man I need someone else to bring the mojo and I just hit autopilot to get through my workouts for the time being. Fatigue has been around for a while but I push through by showing up and not thinking about it. I am literally dying sweating like you can't imagine, breathing like a fucking dying bear with a hollow look in my face during any workout right now. It's not me and once I found EVO, just a few weeks ago, I finally saw some hope for regaining my energy. Already getting feedback on some steps to take to level out the bloods before I start any cycle...
PED Experience:
5 or 6 cycles from 20's - 35.... I don't really remember the composition of all of them over the years but once I found Tren I was a believer and I'd say the last 4 probably had Tren
No gear since around 2020
Last cycle in 2020
Genotropin 2iu/day 6 months
Cut Stack 150mg/week EOD 6 weeks
Had some Winny in there I'm sure
This had me pretty close to where I was wanting to be, dream cycle for me at the time.... I was eating whatever I wanted and stayed strong, thick, hard and not ripped ripped was just the right amount of fuckable chubby muscle... anyways
Planned Cycle to consist of:
I'll be waiting to see changes from the blood issues before starting anything but I did already place an order, before finding EVO and am waiting for TD. I ordered a few different things with the idea that I'd figure out what I want to run when the time comes
Supplements:
N2 Guard (waiting for TD)
B-Complex
D-3
Omega 3
Turmeric
ProMix Pre-workout before afternoon workouts
5 hour energy every morning
Goals:
#1 Positive mental state and increase energy levels.
#2 Titty fat and love handles got to go!
#3 Improved breathing ability... you can call it cardio if you want but I'm telling you I do put in work and I'm convinced this iron thing has been holding me back.
#4 I need to stay strong and dense because it just makes my mental state 100x better... I can sacrifice some BF% to stay thick. Just looking for that right combo
Diet History:
Yeah, I'm open to suggestions here. I've never been 100% or even 85% on diet... when I really need to lean out historically I've just jumped into carnivore for 6-8 weeks. I've improved with my eating with the GLP1's but I've lived on chicken wings and queso in the past... Honestly, If I can eat consistently throughout the day the right things then I can do the exact same meal every day for at least a month, it's just that if I forget I'm eating clean then one chip leads to 3 bags.... Anyways some guidance here would be great if possible....
Sleep/Diet/Training log 6/3/2026:
6:30am - Wakeup, take a shit, 5 hour energy
7:00am - Protein Shake (Ghost PB Cereal) add 5g Creatine
7:30am - Workout 1 - This was a 6 out of 10 intensity workout this morning, finished in an hour...
11:30am - Protein Shake/pre-workout
Noon - Workout 2 - Another 6 out of 10 workout.. legs (nursing knee issues a little)
3:00pm - Oikos Greek Yogurt Protein Shake 120 cal, 23g protein, 5 carbs,
4:30pm - Medium Avocado, 6 oz grilled chicken, 1 cup white rice
5:00pm - 3 mile walk with 35lb weight vest 52 min.
6:00pm - Can of Tuna w/ mayo and sweet relish
8:00pm - Well fuck I'm sitting here typing this up and realized I don't have anything... wifes at work... I will probably make a cheesteak with only meat, cheese and grilled peppers/onions....
9:30pm - Cassein Protein shake if needed to keep me from snacking
I realize I need improvement with my log, this took a while. Does anyone have recommendation for apps to help with logging?
Quick personal History:
I make up for lack of talent and education by outworking everyone in the business world I operate in and I've inadvertently followed that same mentality in my personal life, including my fitness but with my fitness I realize the mindset may have worked in my 20's/early 30's but not now. Yes being on cycles has improved my mental states in the past and I do want to get back to that but this time using the right tools and just blasting through.
I had bicep tendocis and a torn labrum on my left side from around 2021 through 2024 before it got so bad by arm was numb... Got the survery to fix both and healed up well. Doc said I have arthritis in my shoulders and to lay off heavy lifts but I just can't... I do want to do heavy lifting smart though.
I developed a bakers cyst on my left knee in mid-2024.. They recommended not draining it and god damn if it didn't take about a year for the swelling to go down and be able to get back into full workouts.. I laid off a lot of legs during that span. I did ambilical stem cells in the knee and I do maintenance PRP shots in my knee and ankle.
It's just me and my wife, no kids and I do have a lot of freedom in life. I've spent a lot of free time doing useless shit and coasting through the whole health side of my life by over working to compensate for bad living. I want to see what potential I can have with my fitness. Last year my wife and I started supporting the local Special Olympics Powerlifting program and honestly they give me the inspiration to want to take control of this whole lack of energy thing I've not been able to solve so I pulled my head out of the sand and am hoping I can be that inspiration for others but I gotta start with me.
That's it for all the sappy shit... Iooking forward to posting.
