Approved Log 2027 Powerlifting Comps and Growth Cycle Log

[PrimalGains]

What’s up, EF Fam



Finally throwing my hat in the ring and starting my first log. I’ve been lurking on the forum for a minute watching you guys crush it, and figured it’s time to document the comeback.

Just a bit of basic info on me I'm a 30 year old male, and life recently threw a wrench in things. I’ve been out of the gym scene and unable to lift properly for almost 2 months because of a nasty gut virus I was battling. It knocked me around, and not gonna lie, I’ve lost a fair bit of size and fullness, so looking in the mirror has been rough. But I've since corrected the gut issues, I'm fully on the mend, and the break is over. Time to rebuild.

The Plan & Comp Goals This isn't just a casual gym bro rebuild. The goal is to hit a solid 110kg, but more importantly, I’m planning on stepping onto the platform mid next year for a few powerlifting meets. I want to crack some massive lifetime PRs when the time comes.

Right now, I’m a free agent and not backed by any labs or brands. I’m putting everything into this prep to smash these comps next year, so having a solid sponsor in my corner for this journey would be absolutely sick. I’m ready to put in the work, represent a brand properly, and keep this log highly active. If any reps or labs want to chat, my PMs are open.

The Stack & Planned Dosages Shoutout to @Norvex, ordering from him this coming Tuesday as soon as he’s back on his feet. The plan is to run a heavy rebuilding/bulking split structured like this:

• Test E: 500mg / week (Solid base for the powerlifting prep)
• Deca: 300mg – 400mg / week (Keep the joints happy and lubed under heavy loads)
• DHB: 200mg – 300mg / week (Added for pure strength and dense mass)

For recovery during this off period, I’ve been running BPC 157, TB 500, and 2iu of GH. I was getting them from a source outside of this forum, but they are no longer around. Because of that, I'm definitely looking for someone reliable who can work with me on the peptide and GH side of things while I finish bouncing back. Once I lock that side of things down, I'll update the final peptide protocol here

What I’ll Be Posting I want this log to actually be useful for you guys, so I'll be throwing up regular check in photos showing the weak points filling back out. I'll also post the exact routines, primers, and warm ups I use before getting under the bar, along with raw, honest feedback on how the gear is treating me.

Since this is my first time ever running a log, I'm completely open to all tips, critiques, or advice. If you see something in my training, recovery, or stack that can be tweaked to optimize things, definitely let me know.

Let’s get these gains. Pull up a chair and let’s ride!

Cheers, PrimalGains

Update: NORVEX Touchdown, Stats & First Pin

Touchdown from @NORVEXpharma came in you already know I had to cop some DHB.

Just to clarify on this off the bat… I’m not sponsored by Norvex. Paid for everything myself because I believe in supporting the community, and I’ve never been one to look for free handouts. That said, I’m always open to working together and growing with solid sources down the line.

Sitting at 92.6 kg currently.

Pinned last night. First time ever running DHB and heard all the horror stories about PIP, so started low at 100mg to see how I reacted.

The Dose:

Test E: 250mg

DHB: 100mg

Deca: 150mg (0.75ml of 200mg/ml)

Given my past history with injection pain from other oils, I was expecting the worst today. Surprisingly, zero PIP so far. Mixing it in the same barrel with the Test and Deca definitely helped smooth things out.

Nutrition & Gear:

Calories: Locked in at 2,800 kcal.

Extras: Running low-dose Reta to keep insulin sensitivity and glycogen levels where they need to be without flattening my appetite.

Rehab / Mobility:

Also been correcting some scoliosis issues alongside a mate who specializes in dry needling. It’s done absolute wonders for releasing tension through my lower back and hip flexors. Sitting at around 75 out of 100% full mobility now, so we are good to go.

I’ll be dropping physique progress shots every 4–6 weeks to keep everything transparent.

Appreciate everyone following along and supporting the log so far. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and advice as we go full steam ahead now lads!



Cheers, Primal

DHB gets a bad name for pip but that is nearly always the carrier rather than the compound, and it is slow enough that you wont see the real picture until around week six, come have a squiz at my log and say gday.
