Approved Log My Testosterone Primobolan HGH and Anavar Recomp Log

[hypogaeum]

Good evening all,

I have come here to continue my log, previously started over on Evo.

The cycle has been running since 13th of January, 2025 and will run for 12 weeks.

Previous intro post (with the cycle updated to what was decided on with the help of the Evo team):

Current Stats:
Age: 29
Height: 187cm
Weight: 110kg
Body Fat %: 14.9% (got a basic scan done the week before the cycle started, and will continue to go to the same place to keep results consistent)
Training Experience (in years): ~10

Training:
Currently training 5 days a week, and then try ensuring active rest on the weekend (walks/ bike rides, park, etc with the kids). Not long changed to a split of back, shoulders and calves, chest, legs, arms. I am doing 15-45 minutes of cardio 4-5 times a week, at the end of my weight sessions. Generally train in the afternoon, immediately after work.

Diet:
Daily caloric intake currently 2700/ day. Started tracking again, more from a total calories side of things, rather than the macros, but trying to keep the choices sensible and the amounts reasonable for a 40/40/20 split.

Typical Daily Eating:

Breakfast

• Six egg whites, two whole eggs on a slice of wholegrain toast, or
• 200g of Greek yogurt, 30g of oats and a tsp of peanut butter, or
• Protein smoothie with a scoop of protein powder, 200ml of almond milk, one banana and a tbsp of flaxseeds

Lunch

• Lemon herb chicken with roasted potatoes and steamed carrot, or
• Grilled chicken with brown rice and roasted capsicum, with a low-calorie sauce, or
• Grilled chicken in a Thai style satay sauce, with coriander rice and parsley, or
• BBQ chicken with corn and sweet potato, brown rice and a low-calorie sauce

Pre-Workout Snack

• Scoop of protein and a rice cake with honey or jam

Post-Workout Snack

• Protein shake

Dinner (usually my biggest meal of the day as it's after my workout)

• Grilled chicken with roasted or steamed vegetables and sweet potato mash, or
• Stir-fry with lean beef or chicken and plenty of veggies, with noodles, or
• Steak, mashed potato and steamed greens

Supplements:
CoQ10 (300mg/ day)
Omega-3 Fish Oil (3g/ day)
Telmisartan (40mg/ day)
NAC (2g/ day)
L-Carnitine (1g/ day)
MagTaur Xcell (magnesium and taurine blend)
TUDCA (500mg/ day)
Detox Pro (liver and body detoxifier)
Arimidex (0.5mg/ week)

Total Testosterone: 44.3 nmol/L (reference range: 8.3–29 nmol/L)
Free Testosterone: 1145.1 pmol/L (reference range: 255.0–725.0 pmol/L)
SHBG: 26 nmol/L (reference range: 11–71 nmol/L)
AST: 32 U/L (reference range: <35 U/L)
ALT: 34 U/L (reference range: <40 U/L)
GGT: 31 U/L (reference range: <40 U/L)
E2 (Estradiol): 128 pmol/L (reference range for males <150 pmol/L)
Hemoglobin: 169 g/L (reference range: 130–180 g/L)
Hematocrit: 0.51 (reference range: 0.40–0.54)
WBC: 5.9 x10^9/L (reference range: 4.0–11.0 x10^9/L)
Platelets: 310 x10^9/L (reference range: 150–400 x10^9/L)
Creatinine: 95 umol/L (reference range: 60–110 umol/L)
eGFR: >90 mL/min/1.73m² (normal kidney function)
Sodium: 139 mmol/L (reference range: 135–145 mmol/L)
Potassium: 5.2 mmol/L (reference range: 3.6–5.4 mmol/L)
Fasting Glucose: 4.7 mmol/L (reference range: 3.4–5.4 mmol/L)

Cycle Plan:
Cycle Goals: Recomp (lean muscle gain while dropping body fat)

Compounds Planned for Use:

Weeks 1-5
Anavar (Beligas, purchased from @RhinoUGL): 25mg pre-workout
Test E (Bayer): 300mg/ week
Primo E (Beligas, purchased from @RhinoUGL): 315mg/ week
Growth Hormone (purchased from @Livewell2024): 4IU/ day
Aromasin (Beligas, purchased from @RhinoUGL): 12.5mg three times a week

Weeks 6-12
Anavar (Beligas, purchased from @RhinoUGL): 50mg pre-workout
Test E (Bayer): 450mg/ week
Primo E (Beligas, purchased from @RhinoUGL): 450mg/ week
Growth Hormone (purchased from @Livewell2024): 4IU/ day\
Aromasin (Beligas, purchased from @RhinoUGL): 12.5mg three times a week

Injection Frequency: Equal amounts, three times a week

Cycle Length: 12 weeks, then back to TRT (200mg/ week)

Additional Notes:

I started working out when I was 16 and have done a mix of powerlifting and bodybuilding up until about three years ago. Ended up taking nearly two years off with knee and hip issues. Body fat ballooned during the time where I wasn't working out, and I went from 112kg at 12% all the way up to 130kg. Had quite bad lethargy, low motivation, low sex drive, etc and a blood test ordered by the doctor showed my test levels were down the drain (free test was at 193 pmol/L).

The doctor was reluctant to go down the path of TRT, so I went to a TRT clinic and got a second opinion with a second blood test. Free test wasn’t any better on the second blood test (204 pmol/L) and they immediately gave the green light.

Since then, have dropped to 110kg and have a good 6 months of consistency around both training and diet. Originally had a target of 105kg but depending on how the next 9 weeks go my target weight after the cycle ends might end up a bit lower, but will be looking to continue dropping fat while (re)building muscle. Particularly keen to keep the accountability high, as well as get real-time advice and recommendations from the crew that are killing it on here.

Starting physique is as attached. Will get an updated pic tomorrow to show the changes over the last three weeks.

Generally train in the afternoon, immediately after work.

Weeks 1-5

Test E (Bayer): 300mg/ week
Primo E (Beligas, purchased from @RhinoUGL): 315mg/ week

Aromasin (Beligas, purchased from @RhinoUGL): 12.5mg three times a week

Injection Frequency: Equal amounts, three times a week

Cycle Length: 12 weeks, then back to TRT (200mg/ week)

Additional Notes:

I started working out when I was 16 and have done a mix of powerlifting and bodybuilding up until about three years ago. Ended up taking nearly two years off with knee and hip issues. Body fat ballooned during the time where I wasn't working out, and I went from 112kg at 12% all the way up to 130kg. Had quite bad lethargy, low motivation, low sex drive, etc and a blood test ordered by the doctor showed my test levels were down the drain (free test was at 193 pmol/L).

The doctor was reluctant to go down the path of TRT, so I went to a TRT clinic and got a second opinion with a second blood test. Free test wasn’t any better on the second blood test (204 pmol/L) and they immediately gave the green light.

Since then, have dropped to 110kg and have a good 6 months of consistency around both training and diet. Originally had a target of 105kg but depending on how the next 9 weeks go my target weight after the cycle ends might end up a bit lower, but will be looking to continue dropping fat while (re)building muscle. Particularly keen to keep the accountability high, as well as get real-time advice and recommendations from the crew that are killing it on here.

Starting physique is as attached. Will get an updated pic tomorrow to show the changes over the last three weeks.

@hypogaeum Good detailed start man.......

Additional Notes:

I started working out when I was 16 and have done a mix of powerlifting and bodybuilding up until about three years ago. Ended up taking nearly two years off with knee and hip issues. Body fat ballooned during the time where I wasn't working out, and I went from 112kg at 12% all the way up to 130kg. Had quite bad lethargy, low motivation, low sex drive, etc and a blood test ordered by the doctor showed my test levels were down the drain (free test was at 193 pmol/L).

The doctor was reluctant to go down the path of TRT, so I went to a TRT clinic and got a second opinion with a second blood test. Free test wasn’t any better on the second blood test (204 pmol/L) and they immediately gave the green light.

Since then, have dropped to 110kg and have a good 6 months of consistency around both training and diet. Originally had a target of 105kg but depending on how the next 9 weeks go my target weight after the cycle ends might end up a bit lower, but will be looking to continue dropping fat while (re)building muscle. Particularly keen to keep the accountability high, as well as get real-time advice and recommendations from the crew that are killing it on here.

Starting physique is as attached. Will get an updated pic tomorrow to show the changes over the last three weeks.

I looked at your old log too from EVO just now bro now i get where you from
but you not making any weight gains are you?
also how about your foods?

 

[hypogaeum]

I looked at your old log too from EVO just now bro now i get where you from
but you not making any weight gains are you?
also how about your foods?

No weight gain at this stage. Hoping to drop a little more if anything, rather than go up in weight. Obviously, the aim is fat loss and lean tissue gained, with a net result of slightly below or roughly the same as where I am now. I got a basic body scan done at a local place which had me at 14.9% body fat. The plan is to go to the same place again and get reassessed at the end of the cycle. Hopefully the results and the visual changes confirm that the recomp worked. I've already seen a decrease in my stomach and waist (after nearly 4 weeks) so am optimistic

Food is still at the 2700 calories/ day mark, but I've dropped non-training days to 2400 calories. More or less eating the same as planned, but will try remember to get some pictures happening.

volume is steady bro you doing all these squats?

 

[hypogaeum]

volume is steady bro you doing all these squats?

Struggled a bit to really get the legs firing, so spent a bit more time squatting than I would usually, and didn't push the weight up too much. Just tried to really focus on the contraction to make sure there was no risk of injury. Because of knee operations in the past I've got to be quite locked in and really concentrate on the movement to make sure niggles don't turn into full blown injuries.

 

[hypogaeum]

Changing the split from today to push, pull, legs, upper, arms, rest, rest. Have been doing back, shoulders, chest, legs, arms, rest, rest but looking to increase the volume a little and hit things a bit more frequently. Might change the split as I get into it and figure out what works best.

you gotta get more volume in the legs bro

 

[hypogaeum]

you gotta get more volume in the legs bro

Yeah as I work through the hangover from a few injuries I'll definitely be changing things up to hit legs more. Main objective for legs at the moment is to regain the mind muscle connection and really get the contractions happening, rather than just lifting heavy weights and going balls to the wall.

rowing is the best thing for your back.

And nice job on the bent over rows.

 

[caligirl85]

Tremendous job, man. The super sets. Look, amazing, along with the preacher curls.

 

[Shrine]

Hanging knee raise is fantastic and you got four sets done and got a lot of reps.

You did an amazing job.

 

[Zyglamail]

Yes, no reason to go longer than an hour on a workout session. You can get everything done and have a Brisk workout.

 

[Arabian]

Lateral pull-downs with the cable are fantastic. And you put 130 kg. That's not bad for 10 reps.

 

[BookerTNY]

Keep up the good work, man.

I like the volume that you're putting together.

 

[sambee38]

Super sets is something that I see a lot of people doing nowadays. I think it's a great strategy.

Love you my man, keep it up. I really enjoy reading through your workouts.

The volume is tremendous.

 

[MasonicBodybuilder]

Good session man. I like keeping training to under an hour personally.

 

[hypogaeum]

Just 30 minutes of cardio on the treadmill this morning. 2.5km, so a fairly easy pace. Have a fairly full day so am going to struggle to get a workout in later in the day.

@hypogaeum Numbers look great bro........

 

[hypogaeum]

Bit of a flu thing going on yesterday afternoon/ this morning. Push session later today, but won't be looking to break any records. Just get the heart rate up, sweat out the toxins and get some endorphins flowing.
Dosing up on Vitamin C in particular, and keeping well hydrated.
Have confirmed that it's not COVID, provided a test that expired about 18 months ago can be trusted

Chicken soup does sound good. Might message the wife to get some from her mum's freezer

Preworkout one because I’ve decided to just do a bit of cardio today. Feeling a bit run down, so will kick the push session down the road.

[hypogaeum]

Still a little bit under the weather but had a good workout.

Had blood work done yesterday and while I’m still waiting on finalised IGF-1 and GH numbers everything else was tracking really well. Cholesterol is understandably a little bit out but only just out of range so I’m really happy about where everything is at. I’ll update with all numbers once the IGF-1 and GH numbers are confirmed.

With everything where it needs to be, the cycle has changed:

Test 300mg up to 450mg
Primo 315mg up to 450mg
GH 3IU up to 4IU, however I am trying to get a hold of Livewell as the IGF-1 is only at 30nmol/L (which is barely above the 28nmol/L I had without his “GH”)
Anavar stays at 50mg preworkout

[hypogaeum]

Ok, so have updated bloodwork.

Summary of the key numbers is as follows:
Total Test 71.5 nmol/L
SHBG 7 nmol/L
Free Test 2712.0 pmol/L
AST 42 U/L
ALT 56 U/L
GGT 15 U/L
E2 136 pmol/L
Cholesterol 5.0mmol/L
HDL 0.7 mmol/L
LDL 4.0 mmol/L
Hemoglobin 164 g/L
IGF-1 30 nmol/L
GH 1.4 mIU/L

Biggest Concerns:
SHBG too low (7 nmol/L) - Need to manage high Free T effects.
Lipids (HDL too low, LDL too high) - Adjust diet/supplements & cardio.
Hematocrit creeping up - Monitor to prevent thick blood issues.
GH looks to have issues - Working with the supplier to resolve.

Thanks for sharing your bloodwork brother. Good to see your addressing issues

I've had worse numbers on smaller cycles before, and had worse numbers natural (because I wasn't looking after my health), but hopefully what I've learnt can help me further fine-tune and minimise risk. Here for a good time and a long time!

Legit log update @hypogaeum I found your blood good as well. Your training is UP bro

 

[stevesmi]

donating blood would help a lot also you might want to do some fasting that will help balance out the cholesterol levels

 

[hypogaeum]

donating blood would help a lot also you might want to do some fasting that will help balance out the cholesterol levels

As far as fasting, I find getting daily calories in can be tricky. I workout from 4pm until 5pm, so eating too hard out before then makes me feel like crap in the workout.
At the moment I do breakfast at 8am with omegas and coq10, NAC at 10:30am on a close to empty stomach, lunch at 12:30pm, preworkout meal at 2:30pm, preworkout powder at 3:30pm, workout at 4-5, magnesium supplement straight after the workout, dinner at 6pm when I get home, and if I’m still not at the calorie goals by then I’ll have a final meal at 8pm. And then before bed I take a detox supplement and another magnesium supplement.
Any recommendations as far as navigating fasting, hitting my calorie targets and not working out or going to bed feeling bloated and gross?

Bros. Nice workout from last week. I gotta let you know that you put together some nice sets.

 

[ROIDDERS]

Keep up the good work. I really like the Arnold.

And the regular bench press close grip is on point.

 

[chesty]

I Know It's tricky to get in your meals and whatnot, but if you want to get your cholesterol levels back under control, fasting is a must

 

[Ulter]

Yeah, I was able to drop my total cholesterol Number is 80 points doing a 5-day fast.

It really does work.

 

[e2]

Don't worry, your numbers will get back in line. Make sure you're using your support supplements as well.

 

[2Thick]

Nice update man. Really appreciate your honesty and humility.

Blood work is going to be crucial.

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

Definitely donate blood. It goes a long way. It will thin out your blood fast.

 

[wootoom]

Thank you, my man. We love your updates.

You'll definitely improve. Don't worry.

 

[hypogaeum]

What do you think is acceptable while on cycle? Numbers won't be perfect, but how far off perfect is ok?

 

[SteveMobsterG]

Are you using a free test booster like Proviron?
