Imagine we had an all or nothing switch. A truly epic, once in a lifetime workout switch. Press and go. Now what... taken away on a stretcher to be revived. In reality we can do what seems epic. Get our breath back, hydrate and walk home. Anything else is gonna mean humanity wouldn't have made it.
One trick is to 'be in the moment'. Nothing we do, be that a single rep or set, actually takes that long. Even a high rep set is 75-90 seconds max. Out of a whole day. And that's throwing in paused reps, drop sets, assists from a buddy and the lot. At the time it'll feel like hell. Truly brutal. You might even need a lay down lol. If Halo et al were truly as effective as mental stims they'd be used in mental treatment (at the suggest low levels). Happy to be proved wrong with data (it'd be a new aspect to add to the armory).
Are moderators supposed to stir the pot, or did you just feel clever this morning? “Neural override = had an idea” is a cute oversimplification—if ignoring the fact that I experienced something I’ve never seen in years of lifting. This isn’t theory—it’s a real physiological shift I’m trying to replicate through structure and intent. If reducing it to a catchphrase helps you sleep, fly at it. I’m not happy in the same lane—I’m here to try something that hasn’t been done by anyone here before, even if I fail doing it.
If you have any real or further input I'm interested.
Literally just finished second block of "Movement encoding". Definitely an interesting day with weird music, intentionally different movements, a cold 5 minute bloody shower and a brain itching for more. I kept everything intentionally short slow and deliberate and I'm finding it hard to sit still especially with high-glycemic carb intake.
Tomorrow will be where the story starts to take shape. Waste of time or something different ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also a semi full tank with a fasted insertion of Halo is supposed to increase the call for the creation of BDSN.. on deload ive dropped my carbs considerably to reduce carb bloat and help with inflammation before hitting my final weeks of anavar, tbol proviron.
I've never had such a spike with CNS response and wanted to get a full reset before moving forward to get full benefits of my cycle.
I’m not using Halotestin for hypertrophy—I’m leveraging its neuroandrogenic properties to enhance motor neuron recruitment and encode high-efficiency torque patterns under CNS load.

Here is some info about me:
40 yrs old
Fluctuate between 123-133 pounds depending on season, hoodies vs bikinis, currently bringing myself back down to the lower end, sitting at 126 now.
5'6"
Started training 3 years ago with zero gym experience, train 4 days per week, with little to no cardio. If I do, it is 10 mins stair stepper post training.
Consistently sleep between 7-9 hours per night.
Only supplement I take is whey protein, and will add liver support before cycle, also sober 3 years. Please...
Monday
Heck of a workout. Tried out the newly arrived Cerebus Extreme knee wraps - super stiff. Bitch to put on but judge for yourself the difference they made
Hatfield Squat
bar x 8 reps, 100kg/220lbs x 8 reps, 180kg/396lbs x 6 reps, 270kg/594lbs x 4 reps
Leg Press
232kg x 8 reps, 432kg x 8 reps, 750.75kg/1651lbs (just cos - so we could say we'd lone 3/4 metric ton lol)) x 3 reps (bit too heavy but quads lit up on both legs)
Lying Leg Curls
4p x 8 reps, 6p x 8 reps Hams lit up right away on both sets due to the previous sets
So as many of you know I have been out the game a minute due to shoulder and Knee injury. Had surgery at end of November and on road to recover. Been taking HGH, bpc-157, and tb-500 for the knee and shoulder. Both on road to recovery but no Leg Weight training for another 3 months or so. Should is btr but just wont completely heal. I believe I have a partial tear or a pinched nerve maybe both. anyways I cant take anymore time off its time to get the party started. So I started training again 3 weeks ago. Been on trt since August at 250mg sust weekly. Started cycle this week for the Bulk...
Hello everyone as many of you can tell it's about that time again for another log by me. I will not be pinning right away with my log I will be giving myself some more time before that happens, in the meantime I will be starting my 16 week diet for the log, with that said I figured I would post up my plans for this cycle regarding the diet and compound protocol for this run.
I will be completely switching this diet around and trying some fun stuff with this one. I think I will excel with this method.
The goal is cutting for this cycle and if I see the results I'm after following these 16...
As the title suggests this will be my Domestic Supply recovery log utilizing HGH & BPC157.
First of all huge thank you is in order for Greg helping me make this recovery log possible and getting the products out faster than an Amazon prime order.
The way this will be structured is the less is more approach as both of these compounds are being run for the first time with myself.
Protocol as follows:
Beltropin 1Iu a day 5/2 Split 5 on 2 off.
first two weeks so I can see how I feel and if i can tolerate the GH, if it goes well we bump up into...
I have been on a reduced dosage of test @150mg for the past 5 weeks, I feel great.
Original doctors prescription was 260mg. Through some consultation, research and speaking with my actual personal doctor I have decided to run a reduced dosage to see how I respond, its noticeable for sure as I am now running half the dosage I ran on cycle. I will have my blood drawn again to see where I am really at in a few months and I think I should have a better idea of if my TRT dose is adequate or needs to be raised up a bit. My Test was 297 prior to starting TRT last April. My most recent labs...
I weigh around 220 pounds but will check weight tomorrow morning before gym and update back here. Also ordered something to give me a good idea of body fat percentage and will post that here once I have it. Bloodwork done recently was good and will get more bloodwork done...
Been off for awhile with injury but I feel better so here we go. Training never stopped, just adjusted for injuries.

Just a little introduction about myself before I get into specifics about my current training, dieting and supplement use. This is my first log. I used to be fit in my early 20’s then life happened. I have a family with 4 kids and a supportive wife. I help coach two soccer teams. I had a knee replacement in December 2023 that I am still recovering from. I work for an engineering firm where I sit all day. I’m looking for help and guidance through this Journey.
LETS GO!
My plan is to loose body fat.
I would like to eventually get down to 215 LBS
Just a little introduction about my self before I get into specifics about my training, dieting and supplement use. This is my first log ever. I have never put my self out there for all to judge before, but here I go. I am an Aussie that loves training hard because it’s a part of my life. I have been training on and off for 22 years now but nothing ever as serious as I am now. 2018 I started training full time, never missing a session or a meal. In 2019 I started training under a coach (Eric Broser) I wish I would have done this when I started training at the...
I have finally started this cycle as follows:
300 Test C weekly
500 Primo weekly
50 Var weekly
After a week of TRT dose and waiting for final components I began increasing reps and dropping the weight a little bit.
Middle of last week I got Salmonella and required several days down time and iv hydration. Now that I am feeling better I am ready to go.
Here are todays weights as projected:
Hey guys here is my first go at a Cycle log so that I may work with experts to guide me and help me further learn.
I am 49, in very good physical shape I am 6'2, 209 lbs roughly 13-14% bf, I have strong cardiovascular properties as a results of years of competitive cycling and running. I have been lifting weights in some capacity for 20+ years. I have three cycles under my belt (1. 12wk Test C cycle at 250mg ( no issues), 2. Test C 500mg wk( slight bloat as I ran no ai and I screwed around with dbol) 3. Test c 500mgwk with 300mg NPP ( my favorite cycle by far, I felt great and recovery was...

41yr old male 5'2" Before cycle: 120lbs Currently: 146lbs.
Started stack cycle of (kaplan) sust300 and (kaplan) deca300 on April, 22nd.
Been pinning 150mg sust and 75mg deca EOD combined.
So that is 525mg sust p/wk and 262.5mg deca p/wk. on average for 14 1/2 weeks now. (had my dates off from earlier post...my life is crazy right now, apologies).
I work out 5-6 times per wk
Push day, Pull day, legs and shoulders day, Rest day. Repeat. Mix in abs and smaller focused muscles when I feel they need it. Lots of stretching. I do slower reps, time under tension and full range of motion, I...
I plan to start a little cycle for helping the recovery and try to get my olympic shape lol.
In a few words, i have always practiced a sport since my childhood (swimming, footaball, basketball, archery, running, bike....) and i started gym for the first time at 17 years old, i was born with a genetic abnormality, which can sometimes slow me down for the training and in generaly in the life (i get the treatment in the hospital every 3-6 months)
Actually i see a physiotherapis for some "strengthening" with stuff like leg press, trx, weight like crossfit dumbell ...
For context before I start at the bottom of this are photos of what I looked like after 8 years of hard training other then over the counter supplements I used nothing else I built my base the correct way. Trt didn't come into the picture till I was in my 30s what you see with these photos is what I am trying to get back to looking and feeling like.
I have a long hard road ahead of me, this isnt the first time and it wont be the last.
Fyi big genetic weak point caves for me it is what it is i will continue to grind legs and caves and see how we can improve that weak point.

Hahaha. I know we should all do it. I just got out...
I’m starting 500 test-e for 10 weeks. I’ve been on antibiotics for lymes for 5 days.
I know this isn’t a legit cycle and pretty boring but wanted to put it out there in case anyone ever has same problem. Seems Unlikely, considering this seems out of ordinary to me, but I’m planning to use test to help recover and keep my workout stronger. My only symptoms are extremely sore shoulders hips and glutes from like 4am to noon. After that I can move around and actually have some intense workouts. I know there’s not a doctor in existence that would recommend test to recover from lymes but here...
I will start the log here and keep it updated. Main goal of the cycle is to lose fat and weight while maintaining strength and possibly gaining some lean mass. I've done this successfully on my last 2 cycles. My diet while on this was 20/4 IF and keto. I would work out fasted, eat keto during the 4 hour window following the workout, and then be done again until the next day. I lost about 15-20 kg during the 12 week cycles and gained a little strength...
P.S. are you listening to our podcast? if not, you should; this podcast is about steroids, sarms, peptides, and bodybuilding:

I posted 6 other times in this thread. This is the one you responded to.
And I'm still correct as even you say it's a 'cute over simplification' as opposed to plain wrong.
And, as I also explained, Powerlifters used Halo to boost aggression and it wasn't micro-dosed - in the 70's. The whole 'neural pathway reinforcement' comes from Olympic Lifting'. Or you could call it practice. It was a big thing in the late 90's and 2000's. I touched upon others micro-dosing meds as an idea and it has NOT led to truly meaningful insights or new grand theories etc. It SEEMED like it MIGHT work.
If you want to explain it as 'new to you' that's fine. But it does sound like stuff I HAVE seen before and so not new. I also disagree, and said why, with the micro-dosing.
Don't feel insulted or as though the 'pot has been stirred' if I dispute an idea. Put what you think up against what I said and say why it's not the same. And, as you say, you may fail to prove it works. Such is life.
I mentioned previously the high % of a 1RM. That, and as above the 'neural pathway reinforcement' comes from Olympic and to lesser degree Powerlifting. In essence you take someone like yourself and that 240lbs bench and have them do a LOT (min 8 - max 20 - although I preferred 4-8) of singles with 220 or 230lbs. Typically 2-3 mins break between reps. By doing it again and again you:
Learn
1. The pathway or groove
2. How to fire
3. The brain 'locks it in'. Just as you don't have to think or compute lifting the lid on a toilet and can do it without thinking.
You also 'know'
1. I can do almost my PR again and again. Which means... once you hit the higher number
2. That 240 wont be sh*t. In fact 245 looks good
Patterns of repeated behavior are how dancers learn, chess players learn and fighters etc. Only those who truly 'get it' become masters of their craft.
Now does that cross-over into muscle building? Kinda. It's a darn site better than not doing anything. But on that basis we obviously don't wanna be that guy who comes, does his thing, leaves and never grows or changes. Having a focused mind set which should help you get the most from every rep is HARD to do. It's what is suggested when people use the phrase 'mind muscle connection' (again not new - I saw that mentioned this weekend in a 1966 issue of Muscle Builder).
One way to have it happen more than most is to have a coach or training partner. I'd argue the best word they'd use would either be 'squeeze' or 'contract'. For most 'builders' a way to 'feel' is just to do the rep slower.
More on the Neural Pathway stuff. I've mentioned elsewhere stuff I've done with Dr Tom Balchin (I'll link to info on him below). he is probably THE daddy in the UK on recovering after a stroke. And, simply put, relearning (or activating new neural pathways) is how you recover after a stroke.
I am aware that reading stroke survivors stories is very inspirational. I have always resisted writing about myself, because I have always felt that what I have to say about the recovery of others…
arni.uk.com
Well worth a google.
In the case of stroke victims they KNOW (from memory) who to lift that previously mentioned toilet seat but they have to TEACH their bodies how to do it. This 'learned' behavior which requires no 'thinking' is necessary for survival. Imagine a man running away from danger needing to think about how to run. Yet some of what's being discussed amounts to that. What we really want is to 'learn' how to get the most from what we do in the gym. Can that be done? Again kinda. Can it be done, verbally and or with halo etc again and again? I'll say no. Short term yes but rep after rep, session after session. No. It's too tiring - even if only mentally. And you would need a break and to ease off. No one should go all out every time. Only at the point where you are close to the peak of a cycle.
One HUGE issue for me is seeing what amounts to reinventing the wheel. Not here per se but in training in general. I see this a LOT on Insta etc where a would be coach claims to have come up with something unique. That is in and of itself doubtful. You said 'I’ve never seen in years of lifting'. How many? I've been doing this 45 of my 60 years. Ergo I have a better idea of whether or not it's new.
I have the advantage of a a Muscle Magazine and book collection (it includes the mental aspect as well as other sports but is muscle / power focused) which dates from 1900 to today.
What really happens is not invention but understanding. Men (and a few women) have built muscle without understanding why since ancient times. They have also looked for an edge since we started running races and the like. That, as much as some can be anti-drugs, has included all kinds of random stuff. There has even been Greeks back in the original games arguing shoes or barefoot. Was shoes cheating etc.
Truth is two-fold. How to grow muscle, via training, IS understood. The actual biology isn't fully yet so. It mostly comes down to survival of the species via, initially, adaption.
