Approved Log My TRT Cruise and recovery log
- Thread starter man05
- Start date
Here is a copy from excel, this is the program that I am going to stick with and change after six weeks when I run Test / EQ in a couple weeks.
I increase weight about 5-8lbs per week based on how I feel from each exercise. I use pain threshold of 1-4, recovery of 1-4 and so on to develop my increases. Week six of this program IO drop drastically like 60% of the weight comes off and all the reps are really low to deload my body.
When I come back after the deload I can then start the first week of my next 6 week meso pushing heavier weight with good form than I could on week 1 of the previous MESO and I just increase again with the goal of week 5 being 10-20lbs heavier than the previous week 5. This methodology combined with the feedback from the guys on this forum keeps me safe, not burned out or stale. If you want to see stupid go look at MY TRT DECA log, I trained like a fool and my diet is embarrassing to even look at. After cycle I will cruise and recover again on a 4 day program since I cannot always recover as quickly when not using peds.

Looks good to me. Just remember as you progress and lift heavier you will want to make sure you increase your nutrition. Clean of course when possible.
Looking forward to seeing how you like this training program. I always have to do barbell squats first just so I have enough energy.
Thats how I was doing at first for many years and one of the guys suggested lunges first and they warm me up really well and get the blood flowing.
Walking lunges with weight are awesome, a favorite of mine.
@man05 like like the medium bench heavy but how heavy?
Looks good.
245-250ish
