Personal Information:

  • Body Fat Percentage: Approximately 18%
  • Body type: long limbs, thin bone structure
  • Lifting Experience: intermediate level
The Cycle:
Currently, I'm in the peptide cycle phase
, using BPC-157 and Ipamorelin on an empty stomach before bed. I'm also waiting for my Sermorelin delivery. I take all of these once a day before sleeping. Once I get my hands on Sermorelin, I'm thinking of splitting the doses into two parts (100/100 mcg x2) - one before my morning workout and the other before bed. I'm not entirely sure yet tho.

On week 9, I plan to begin my first-ever testosterone only cycle. I did my research and decided to go for a simple testosterone enanthate 1 vial cycle to see how my body reacts. To be extra careful with my fertility, I'm only doing a 7-week cycle and skipping HCG to not complicate things as a beginner. I took this cycle from Wllllam Llewellyn's ANABOLICS, 11th ed.

*At the time of publishing this thread I am on my second week (still peptide phase)
It was difficult for me to figure out the AI and SERMS, but I think I did a decent job with my homework. The testosterone doses are low enough for some people to not need AI at all, but because I'm highly prone to estrogenic side effects, I plan on taking 0.5 mg of Arimidex incrementally. I'll adjust the AI dose after 4 weeks based on a blood test to see if any changes are necessary.
6 months ago, I bought Clomid as my preferred choice of SERM for PCT (back then), but I'm not entirely sure if Nolva would be the better-safer alternative. I deeply care about my fertility, so I'm still contemplating my options [this Reddit Wiki made blurred my mind on Clomid effecting LH: https://www.reddit.com/r/steroids/wiki/thecycle/pct/#wiki_controversy].


Regarding my latest lab results from 04.2023, everything was within the normal range, including my Full Blood Count, Kidney Panel, Liver Panel, Lipid Profile, Prostate-Specific Antigen, and Steroid Hormones. My Total Testosterone = 5.6 ng/mL, which is lower than my typical range of 7-8 ng/mL. My Free Testosterone = 0.105 ng/mL, and my Estradiol = 23.5 pg/mL. My Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin = stable at 37.5 nmol/L.
*I plan on doing another lab panel like this before my testosterone cycle at the end of May.

During the peptide cycle (PHASE 1), I'm maintaining my caloric level and protein sources consist of eggs, beef, chicken, whey protein isolates/concentrates, aiming for about 2-2.5 g/kg. My fat sources include olive oil, avocados, butter, meat, fish oil, and eggs (20-25% of total kcal). My carbohydrate sources are vegetables (stewed or baked cruciferous vegetables, carrots, paprika, etc.), potatoes, white rice, and oats.

During the testosterone enanthate cycle (PHASE 2), I plan on being in a caloric surplus of 10-15%. My protein sources will be the same, but I'm aiming for about 2-3 g/kg. My fat sources and carbohydrate sources will also be similar but in different quantities, also, I'll add post-workout fruits/berries.

So here's the plan for my training: I'll be hitting the gym 5 days a week and doing a full-body workout each time. My aim is to do around 12-15 reps for each exercise, depending on the movement. But since I have a shoulder and ankle injury, I'll be making some adjustments to my form and experimenting with isolated leg exercises to see how my ankle holds up. For now, my goal is to go for lighter weights and more reps.

As for my overall goals, I have a few things in mind. First and foremost, I want to rehab my injuries. I also want to gain some muscle and lose some fat, so I'll be paying close attention to my diet as well. And finally, since I don't have any kids yet, I want to be extra careful with my fertility.

IMO you should make sure your injury's are recovered before you even think about running a cycle. Get yourself squared away and get your training/diet in check for 6 months or so after you are healed and then think about a cycle. If you are carrying injury you won't be ale to get the most out of the cycle and may even injure yourself again. Just my 2c.

@enemallithorre this is a good plan. Start with 250mgs testosterone enanthate/week and use 0.25mgs arimidex EOD (not .5mgs), start way slower with AIs you might not need them.

For your diet, you talk calories surplus but what we really need is your meals, food and how much and when you eat it.

Same for training overall good but lets see your sets reps and exercises please.

On the pictures you posted, can you please copy and paste your routine here in the thread, many members can't view pictures including me.

Agreed.
 
nice where are you getting your peptides from?
At first, I was planning to purchase from Umbrella Labs, but as I was checking out, I was disappointed to see that they no longer ship to Europe. I hope it's just temporary. Therefore, I bought them from Particle Peptides. The quality seems good so far, but it's still too soon to say for sure.
 
So, this is how I'm training at the moment. I've marked the exercises that I sometimes switch up. Right now, my ankle feels better than my shoulder, but I still can't put a lot of weight on my leg. When I can't do squats, I like to use the leg press machine instead. Sometimes I do shoulder presses, but I usually go for the smith machine because it feels more comfortable to me. Unfortunately, the bench press still hurts, so I stick to about 70-75% of my one-rep max, but I do more reps. On the bright side, pulling exercises feel pretty smooth and don't cause me any pain.

Oh, and I also booked an appointment with a really good physiotherapist in my town who specializes in athlete injuries (next month). I'm hoping to get some help with my shoulder, and maybe get some other tips. Also to get second opinion about some muscle disbalance issues.

Today is an example of not that great planned diet. Throughout the day, I made sure to consume WPC with natural flavor (no sweeteners). In the morning, I mixed it with oats, banana slices, and cinnamon. Right after my workout, I had another banana with a protein shake. Well, I'll admit it, I made a pit stop at McDonald's and had 2 post workout cheeseburgers.. gonna be transparent here. For dinner, I had a bowl of rice, around 300g of baked chicken breasts, and some carrot salad that I had prepped earlier. And now that I am home, I'm planning to have some curd with blueberries and protein powder on top, along with guacamole wraps.

Do I understand correctly - 250 mg/week would be better than incremental doses?

As for Arimidex, I have two things to mention:
  1. I am prone to estrogenic side effects, particularly gynecomastia. When I tried to naturally boost my testosterone levels a few years ago, I ended up raising my estrogen levels as well (indicated by sensitive nipples and blood tests). Despite my efforts to avoid phytoestrogens and xenoestrogens and using DIM, I still had issues with high estrogen levels even when my testosterone was just at 1100 ng/dL. Doubling that level makes me think I would be better off with higher dose of Arimidex upfront. But at the same time I am afraid crushing my estrogen too much as well..
  2. Currently, I have 18% body fat. The good news for me is that Ipamorelin seems to be more effective than yohimbine when in a fasted state (atleast for me). My wife even noticed that I lost some body fat in just two weeks, despite not doing any cardio for now (and she usually doesn't pull the wool over my eyes.


 
Today I experimented with using my ankle more during my workout. Overall, my weights are not very impressive, but I focused on improving and experimenting with my technique and form.

Barbell Deadlift: 110kg x 5 reps (Set 1), 110kg x 5 reps (Set 2), 110kg x 4 reps (Set 3). The exercise was painful, but I was able to complete it with proper form.
Dip: 92kg x 20 reps (Set 1), 92kg x 20 reps (Set 2), 92kg x 20 reps (Set 3). The exercise was less painful compared to the bench press.
Barbell Hip Thrust: 60kg x 20 reps (Set 1), 60kg x 20 reps (Set 2), 60kg x 20 reps (Set 3). I used less weight and more reps for this exercise, and it felt better for me.

I performed the following exercises as a superset with no rest:
Dumbbell Reverse Fly: 12kg x 15 reps (Set 1), 12kg x 15 reps (Set 2), 12kg x 12 reps (Set 3)
Dumbbell Tricep Extension (Supine): 20kg x 12 reps (Set 1), 20kg x 12 reps (Set 2), 20kg x 12 reps (Set 3)
Dumbbell Lateral Raise: 12kg x 20 reps (Set 1), 12kg x 20 reps (Set 2), 12kg x 20 reps (Set 3)

Overall, I feel good about today's workout.. excited to continue making progress..

@enemallithorre 250mgs/week with testosterone is the sweet spot, but split the injections into 3 small injections Mon/Wed/Fri.

On arimidex
1) 0.5mgs arimidex every other day is more than enough for 250mgs/test even if you're estrogen prone
2) Good so stay on ipamorelin and stay strong

@enemallithorre log update for us coming?
 
Here's an update on my workouts so far. I have logged all the workouts I have had until now, and each workout lasts for about an 1h or less. However, after today's workout, I am a bit concerned about my recovery aspect, as I have been experiencing low testosterone symptoms lately. Additionally, while my sleep is good, I haven't been feeling very energized after waking up for the past three days.

I must mention that I ride a bicycle for transportation in my city daily for about 40 minutes, three times a week. This should count as my cardio.

After implementing calf raises, as weird as it sounds, my ankle feels better and closer to being healthy compared to my shoulder. I thought the ankle injury would be more serious than the shoulder injury, but it's the other way around. I also theorized that BPC-157 works better for ankle injury (and similar type of injuries), and for my shoulder injury, I should incorporate TB-500.. (expensive joy..)


LOWER FOCUSED FULL BODY:

Last week my diet looks like this:

  • Meal 1: Overnight oats 400ml (16 oz) Calories: 440 (no toppings) Protein: 47g Fat: 6g Carbs: 49g Fiber: 6g Sugars: 4g.
    Ingredients (for 1 serving):
    • 1 cup (160ml) unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
    • 3/4 cup (68g) old-fashioned oats
    • 1/2 cup (120g) nonfat plain Greek yogurt
    • 1 scoop (35g) protein powder of choice
    • Fruit, nuts, and seeds of choice
  • Meal 2: Post-workout protein shake (natural flavor), [60g of WHEY, 400ml of almond drink / lactose free low fat milk]
  • Meal 3: 3-ingredient Banana Oat Pancakes. Nutrition facts per serving size of 6 small pancakes - Calories: 420, Protein: 18g, Fat: 13g, Carbs: 58g, Fiber: 6g, Sugars: 14g
  • Meal 4: Chicken and salsa. Each serving (10 oz or 280g) contains 305 calories, 64g of protein, 2.5g of fat, 6.5g of carbs, 0.5g of fiber, and 5g of sugars.
    +oven baked potatos ~300g
  • Meal 5 - curd (300 g) +whey protein
 
I also wanted to mention that I love making whey-avocado smoothies. When I use flavored whey, I usually go for vanilla. To make the smoothie, I add 1 or 2 avocados, 2 scoops of protein powder, and 300 ml of milk. The end result is a thick and tasty treat that I really enjoy. If I have berries, I blend them together and add some on top for texture (raspberries are perfect for this) <-- perfect for quick snack.

As for my diet this week, I only had one cheat meal at a party, which consisted of sushi.
 
The problem that is troubling me is whether I should continue to use my right shoulder or allow it to heal with the assistance of BPC-157 before training it again. While the shoulder has been improving, there are still days when the sharp pain returns, which negatively impacts my training. I can't wait for my physiotherapy session next week.
 
Here's an update on my workouts so far. I have logged all the workouts I have had until now, and each workout lasts for about an 1h or less. However, after today's workout, I am a bit concerned about my recovery aspect, as I have been experiencing low testosterone symptoms lately. Additionally, while my sleep is good, I haven't been feeling very energized after waking up for the past three days.

I must mention that I ride a bicycle for transportation in my city daily for about 40 minutes, three times a week. This should count as my cardio.

After implementing calf raises, as weird as it sounds, my ankle feels better and closer to being healthy compared to my shoulder. I thought the ankle injury would be more serious than the shoulder injury, but it's the other way around. I also theorized that BPC-157 works better for ankle injury (and similar type of injuries), and for my shoulder injury, I should incorporate TB-500.. (expensive joy..)

@enemallithorre training is no point perfect and concentration is good

    +oven baked potatos ~300g
  • Meal 5 - curd (300 g) +whey protein
@enemallithorre to rehab you need to bump up the protein way more honestly and bump up the fats way more

missing omega 3 fats like fish oil in the mix and missing a good balance of omega 3 to 6
 
I also wanted to mention that I love making whey-avocado smoothies. When I use flavored whey, I usually go for vanilla. To make the smoothie, I add 1 or 2 avocados, 2 scoops of protein powder, and 300 ml of milk. The end result is a thick and tasty treat that I really enjoy. If I have berries, I blend them together and add some on top for texture (raspberries are perfect for this) <-- perfect for quick snack.

I like avocado smoothies but I add cocoa powder to them
 
The problem that is troubling me is whether I should continue to use my right shoulder or allow it to heal with the assistance of BPC-157 before training it again. While the shoulder has been improving, there are still days when the sharp pain returns, which negatively impacts my training. I can't wait for my physiotherapy session next week.
@enemallithorre you can train but don't train your shoulder or upper body

I suggest training lower body, abs and doing cardio, laying off the top part like shoulders/chest/back/arms but keep the other bodyparts fit and trained
 
Updates coming soon, I am moving in in a different city. Still training, but very short on time. Soon I will be posting my logs (I log every workout). Also had a consultation with a physiotherapist. Made a few changes. I will write a update this week.

Update on Shoulder Pain


As some of you may know, I recently went to the physiotherapist who specializes in sports injuries. Here's what I learned:

Diagnosis: Shoulder Impingement. After a thorough examination, it turns out that my pectoral muscles and the front part of my shoulder are way more developed compared to my back and posterior shoulder. The physiotherapist explained that this muscle imbalance, along with involvement of the levator scapula muscle, is causing this. It's been causing some discomfort, but now I know what's going on. He said that I still should do a CT scan if the pain is not going away after few months..

Adjusting my Warm-up Routine. My pre-workout warm-up routine takes a bit longer than usual. I want to make sure I'm properly preparing my muscles for exercise. So, before every workout, I go through all the recommended exercises to loosen up the tight muscles and strengthen the weaker ones. It's become an essential part of my routine, and it's been helping a bit so far.

Keeping an Eye on my Shoulders. During my workouts, I have to be extra mindful of my shoulder movements. Turns out, I've developed a habit of lifting my shoulders too much during certain exercises, which only worsens the situation. I'm actively working on correcting this and keeping my shoulders in check. It's a challenge, but I'm determined to make progress.

Focusing on the Back and Posterior Shoulder. To address the muscle imbalance, I've been putting more emphasis on strengthening my weak back chain and the muscles in the posterior shoulder region. Even though I primarily focus on training my chest muscles with exercises like pecs machine flyes, I'm now making a conscious effort to balance it out.

Notable Changes and Progress. The posterior part of my shoulders is showing signs of hypertrophy. On the flip side, my chest muscles don't appear as "full" as they used to, but it's a trade off I'm willing to accept for the sake of a healthier shoulder.

That's the latest update on my shoulder.
 
Possible Side Effects of Peptides [Brand used: Particle Peptides]

There were some scary side effects related to peptides.. I also seek your advice or references on where to find more information. Currently, I'm on a "cycle" of Ipamorelin (200 mcg) and Sermorelin (100 mcg) only. Here's what I've noticed.. any insights would be appreciated:

Increased Vein Visibility. Since starting this peptide protocol, I've noticed that my veins are becoming more prominent all over my body, particularly in the upper body and limbs. Personally, I saw this as a positive sign because it seems to indicate a reduction in subcutaneous fat. However, I'm a bit concerned about the appearance of venous knots on my legs. This is something new for me, even though my body fat percentage is similar to before I started the peptides. These changes began approximately one to two weeks after starting the peptide cycle.

Pain in the Front of the Shin Bone (Tibia). A couple of days ago, while I was moving and had to carry heavy loads up and down stairs, I started experiencing a lot of pain in the front of my shin bone. There doesn't appear to be any bruising, but a hard, stiff, and painful lump appeared. Thankfully, it disappeared after about three hours, and now my leg feels normal. However, I plan to see a doctor next week, just to be cautious. My concern is that it could have been a clot in a small vein.

Seeking Information and Experiences. Has anyone else experienced something similar with peptides causing significant bulging of veins, even when the reduction in body fat percentage isn't drastic? I'm curious if this is a known side effect or if there are any precautions I should be aware of. If anyone has any information or personal experiences to share, it would be incredibly helpful. I'm even willing to share pictures of what the lump on my leg looked like yesterday if that would provide more context.

it's possible to have these sides @enemallithorre but only way to test it is to stop the peptides and see first
