With another log.

After a huge few weeks of just eating and eating and eating, the cut has arrived.

And we move along to the next phase.

Im a creature of habit,
And will easily eat the same meals day in day out,
Adding changes in throws me out mentally to be honest,

So probably just going to stick fat to the set calories,
And run it home.

Ah I completely get it if it wasn't for me my natural thyroid takes a bashing while dieting I would 100% be doing the same.

 

[rizzlekdizzle]

This should be a good one

What's the cycle plan?

 

[CookieBaah]

This should be a good one

What's the cycle plan?

Just come from 350mg Test, 150mg Primo,

As of last week and for the next few weeks going to be sitting at 250mg test,
Still fine tuning where I want to go after that.


Sorta related,
But Opting to not use a GLP for this cut,
Just Clen.

what made you go clen over reta?

 

[CookieBaah]

what made you go clen over reta?

Reta stopped working for me even at 5mg,
Was also ferociously hungry and craving sweet foods once it stopped being effective.

The effects it had on my RHR and HRV,
Weren't favourable either.

 

[Hegs00]

looking forward to following this one along brother

 

[ChewedSleek]

Following along, bro

Starting off the new training program today,
Found a nice 4 Day Upper/Lower split program,
Exercises that fits how I wish to train.

Actually keen to do standalone leg days again, have not done one in a very long time, always had been a fullbody, but lower focus the past 12 months atleast.

Do people want to see the workout as it was in that screen shot,

Or a more compact version like this,

It's an app called BoostCamp,

Has a buuuuunch of popular programs on it.

 

[CookieBaah]

Bit of an "about me" to those new to my logs,

32,
Father of 5 boys aged 11, 10, 3.5, 1.5, 6months.

Play country town level AFL,
Have ran a marathon and a half marathon in last couple years,
Been in the gym training roughly 15 years,

Nearly 6months use of Testosterone,
Decided I was definitely done having children and my bloods showed pretty poor testosterone levels as it was.


I have pretty big food aversions, fussy/picky eating that I've had to work around all my life,
Makes dieting both easy and hard at the same time,
Cause I can comfortably eat the same things day in day out,
But variety is small.


I've spent easily the last 10 years yo-yoing up and down in weight,
Weighing in at my biggest of 120kg (11 years ago),
And my smallest of 80kg (6 Months ago)

 

[ChewedSleek]

5x boys!?! That would be a workout in and of itself just chasing them around all day!

JOURNAL:
Knew I was holding alot of water, but to drop 3.1kg on the scales in 24hours is crazy.

Tried to go for a longer lower intensity run today,
Had to pull the pin 5mins in,

The issue I've had arise doing distance running the past few months is back again,
I know now it's not to do with anything I'm taking as I've scaled everything back/removed anything I was taking when it first started.

And it's not an injury as such,
My tibialis anterior just gets so pumped full of blood, I get like severe pain and loss of full dorsi flexion,
It's either some sort of compartment syndrome,
Or tightness from my calves/legs/back is exacerbating it causing it to happen..

Once I start walking it calms down and if I stop moving altogether it goes away.


I can play football and do interval running,
I just can't do long sustained distance running.
So we will have to work around that,
However I do have a deep tissue sports massage booked in for tomorrow hopefully loosen myself up.

Another 1.7kg scale loss,
That's 4.8kg in 48hours,
Body definitely holding alot of water as first thought.


Had my sports massage appointment at 10,
Just got work done on the lower back, hips and legs, Hopefully loosens everything up.

A nothing day at home after, before heading to work,
For a whole nothing sort of shift.

Unfortunately due to massage I didn't do any sort of training.
Bit of a messy first week so far in terms of training,
But we do what we can.

Solid cycle.

Id persoanly put the mast in from week 1 and then tirate test up as needed if at all, shouldnt have any e2 issues at the doses you have stated.

I wouldnt fuck with orals in a cut unless your adding them for cosmetic reasons? Tren and orals can fuck your guts for weeks so its got to be worth it. I love whinny or a combo of both for a crispy look

Also on a side note im very proud to see tren in your cycle

I've the one Mast vial to use, only reason I was putting it in for the duration it is,
Use what I got kinda thing

Tryna take this cut as far as I can,
Look as lean as I can get,
Only real reason throwing in the Var,

And also reasoning for solely 4 weeks (the final 4) of Tren and at that dose,
No idea how I'm going to respond(mentally),
And no time like the depths of a cut to try some Tren

But seems they hold on when I do intervals and get some walking/standing rest.

Not a great sleep,
Woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep

Got a fresh haircut,
My days of needing to go to a barber are definitely dwindling
Then mowed the lawns
Warmer weather is upon us, which means more lawn mowing

Smashed out a solid Upper workout,
Feeling really good even on low cals,
Strengths and output is holding just fine

Lazy as fk afternoon at home with the fam,
With an eventful weekend ahead.

Bit of a celebratory weekend ahead of me,
Went and watched the local football grandfinals today,
And had a day out with mates,
And have an end of season club/team get together tomorrow,
So not the cleanest of weekends being had,
But life is life,
And I don't frequently chill out and "let my hair down"
(Not that I have much of it left)

Did get some cardio in this morning however.
