Thank you guys for all the help and support.

@man05 good start mark but this is your TRT log now? or what? we need a new thread for it

sets and reps are fine but you'll need to go HIGH rep for cutting at least sets of 25 and 50 in there high pump

This was my cutting log, the start to it, primo arrives Thursday. So it’s basically me on trt dose right now. I got confused, don’t need to log just this week as trt then mention that I’m starting the cutting cycle?

For my sets of 25/50 would that be a set of 25 or 50 for each movement? For example flat bench 2x8 heavier weight then followed by 1x25 or 50 and continue that type of format throughout the workout to ensure each movement has at least one high rep set? I definitely can see weights dropping doing this, sounds like a challenge.

Thank you

Okay If I create an interim TRT log prior to starting this Cutting log? I can create a new thread for that. Was planning on starting the cutting cycle tomorrow once Primo arrives.
