Dreamers 🏆Gold Standard Labs🏆 2025-2026 Lean Bulk Log

[Dreamer_]

Hey everyone,
I am starting a log here on EF sponsored by @Liquid Gold Labs now known as Gold Standard Labs.

I have been running their Sus250, GH and Mast for about 5 weeks now while I have been cutting.

Prior to this I had come off a pretty decent cycle to go onto a fertility restoration stack which had me lose quite alot of size over 3 months - but, it was successful and me and my wife are expecting in May.

I will be running the cut for another 3 weeks which at the end I will be getting a full panel of bloods to check my health, and a dexa scan to see where I ended up body fat wise, before moving on to a 12 week cycle of Sustanon, GH, NPP, Bold Ace and Mast P - all fast acting esters from Gold Standard Labs to allow me to adjust quickly - everything I do with this has health in mind as much as possible while using AAS.

My goal is to end up not gaining much body fat but gaining 4-5kg of lean mass as I am lacking size in some key areas.

Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you all over the journey and seeing how far I can push this.

Cardio -

45 Minutes fasted AM

25 Minutes elliptical and 20 Minutes stair mill avg 138 BPM - sweaty session



Notes (strength, endurance, vascularity):

I have been running 2400 calories for weeks now, and noticed my energy and strength dropping off - pumps and vascularity where not where I would expect given my body fat and stack, upping to 2800 with more carbs has helped a whole lot, time will tell if this is still a deficit or not, I believe my TDEE to be around 3500 so still should be healthy. But today felt great, even after a really bad sleep and long long day at work, I felt strong and focused in the gym with some great pumps.



MIND & BODY CHECK-IN

Energy: Great despite bad sleep, went all day no worries

Mood: A little irritable, but again sleep plays a big part

Motivation: Driven and focuse

Anxiety/Calm: Calm

Focus: Locked in at work and gym.



RECOVERY

Steps: My ring doesnt count steps accurately, but 25km covered apparently

DOMS: None.

Mobility/Stretching: No joint issues or soreness

Sleep Quality: Bad, I got work phone calls through the night which disturbed my sleep alot.



PHYSIQUE NOTES

Vascularity: Getting much better, happy with it when pumped

Fullnessryness/Water: Bit of water retention in lower legs, but full and dry upper body

Pump: Really strong in the gym

Waist Look: Tightening up nicely



HEALTH TRACKING

Blood Pressure: 117/64

Glucose: 3.9 this morning 4.8 after gym

Symptoms: Feel really good, outside of a bad sleep, no real negative symptoms at all.



SUMMARY / DAILY THOUGHTS

Happy with where this phase has my physique so far, I am confident with my health markers and my health in general as I get ready to go onto a growth stack, I will be ordering bloods in the next couple weeks for a full check before starting, and I will also be getting a dexa scan to see where my body fat ended up .

I am now on day 5 of MT2 - getting 30-40 mins of direct sun a day - nothing really exciting to report just yet - I am handling this compound well though, I havent had any negative effect.

Tomorrow is leg day, so my focus tonight will be recovering from my session today and getting the sleep I need for that.

Thanks for following along

Cardio -

45 Minutes fasted AM

25 Minutes elliptical and 20 Minutes stair mill avg 133 BPM - I was literally dripping swear onto the stair mill.



Notes (strength, endurance, vascularity):

I didnt really want to do this session after work, I felt really flat, had some pre workout and got into it, and oh my, my strength felt so good, I was pumped by the first set of hacks, and every movement felt like it was purposeful, I gassed a little by the end of abs, vascularity probably not really where I like it, but I have been playing with sodium.

I managed to increase some reps on some movements which is all you can ask in a deficit.



MIND & BODY CHECK-IN



Energy: Pretty flat and unmotivated today, I think my sweaty cardio and then dropping my salt killed me today. Will try a different approach tomorrow.



Mood: Calm, Happy

Motivation: Flat until the gym

Anxiety/Calm: Calm

Focus: Great at gym.



RECOVERY

Steps: 27km equiv

DOMS: None.

Mobility/Stretching: No joint issues or soreness

Sleep Quality: Good, but shorter than id like.



PHYSIQUE NOTES

Vascularity: Not great today, I blame low sodium.

Fullnessryness/Water: Again, a bit flat and unimpressive

Pump: Really strong in the gym

Waist Look: Tight, only a bit of love handle left



HEALTH TRACKING

Blood Pressure: 127/71

Glucose: 4.2 AM fasted

Symptoms: Flat, unmotivated, tired



SUMMARY / DAILY THOUGHTS

I struggle controlling volume with my training , which I think I overreach often, but the trouble is I love it, I think I wont struggle as much when I am back in a surplus. I also think low salt and alot of sweat and demand has made today harder than need be, I am also on day 6 of MT2 and noticing a SLIGHT tan coming through, which is exciting.

Tomorrow is a session of arms and rear delts which I love and a bit easier on the body, with a rest the next day, so hopefully recover well for this last 2 weeks of cut.
