My logging journey, as well as my journey of physical & personal growth, have been excellent so far. I have decided to wrap up though, and end the log here. I was able to tentatively organise another sponsor, but on reflection I believe the time I currently spend logging could be better spent...

First off, @Exodus Labs has informed me they are no longer able to sponsor this log as planned. Super grateful for what they have done so far particularly in supporting me through early sobriety. We have ended on good terms and I stand by what I have previously said about their products - top...

Thanks everyone for the feedback on the diet. I’ve got another 10 or so days of store bought meals left which I can’t afford to waste - so once I’ll reconsider whether to continue on using them moving forward. It’s been a really convenient thing so far to have these meals but I get these may not...

@the_alcatraz recomp seems to be occurring, leaning out while strength is going up and weight staying the same. I can’t afford to eat more, so am happy (actually pretty stoked) with the recomp outcome. Macros I’m shooting for are 300P/300C/60F, don’t always hit it due to affordability but doing...

Short post today - not much to report. Lifts are continuing to go up albeit shoulder is still out of action. Hopefully not losing too much strength in my chest and shoulders during this rest period. Can’t wait to get back to benching and shoulder pressing. You’ll see squats are up 10kg and my...

Some BPC-157 and TB-500 should be on its way courtesy of @Exodus Labs - excited at the prospect of a healed shoulder (and the combo should also heal any other niggling injuries). I don’t believe they generally stock it so super grateful for them coming through in a time of need. @Exodus Labs...

Getting absolutely killer pumps lately - the Geneza Pharmaceutical Mast E provided by @Exodus Labs seems to be working its magic. Recovery time has significantly dropped and lifts are all going up. Drive and motivation have both increased too. Seems the 300mg/300mg test/ mast combo is the...

Not much to report! Got my knuckles tattooed yesterday. Tattoos are an important part of my identity - they really do a lot to improve my body image + sense of self. Lifts are going up and it appears a recomp effect is happening. Leaning out slowly while continuing to build muscle/ strength...

Into week 3, aiming to up carbs and protein to 300P/300C - about as high as I can afford to go. Besides being as much as I can afford to eat, it also is about as much as I can physically eat. The semaglutide is doing a great job at preventing binge eating/ overeating, but also making it...

Absolutely wrapped to be on board logging for @Exodus Labs. So far it’s been quick and helpful comms, even faster postage and A1 products. Test E 300 - gorgeous green top vials, and super smooth to pin at 1ml/wk. Blood work is a few months down the track but based on feel this is an accurately...

Time to gain some real mass - training is on point, excluding the missing push workouts, calories, protein and carbs all upped. Keen to get some growth happening, At the start of my last log. I had planned to do a build phase but after feedback from the Evo community pivoted and made it a cut...

30 days sober today - made it. Picked up my 30 day tag and had some good time to reflect on how far I’ve come. Finally got legs back in the mix, brutal workout with short rests between most sets (30 - 45 seconds). Feels good to hit legs again and nice to have some variety back after just back...

Progress pics from today

4 weeks sober today! Almost snagged my 30 day tag - feeling confident about getting there, and then to the next goal. I have slightly upped my test/mast to 300mg/300mg to get the most out of this cruise. I think this amount is a good balance of getting the most possible performance while...

Great close to the week - four weeks sober next Wednesday, and getting more and more confident in my ability to be sober. Challenges this week have been: receiving the news of the shoulder injury and having to switch up training to accommodate for this. desire to increase either the test...
