Yeah I used to respect him as a person after that I'm just gonna buy by stuff keep it brief and I'm out the store lol
Yeah valid point quad.
That was savage and a hell of a great point
Appreciate that brother
I like being in that zone of pushing myself to the brink in a physical sense, it then forces me to push my mind and not quit and builds that by anymeans mindset
Always brother, I just wanted to share my experience after that and show how little people understand and how quickly people will shit on you or a vision u have just because.
That is very good advice!
Nice leg training session
great work broFriday October 20 2023
I decided while on trt I need to really hit cardio as hard as possible to drop bodyfat and get closer with my vision and being in proper shape for my second cycle.
Also keep my weights a little less heavy and pound the pump/volume/endurance aspect.
In the last two days I put in 7.15 miles at and Incline utilizing the thread mill, my first cycle I kept it at 30-45 minutes and did no cardio on off days. This time around it will be cardio on my 5 workout days and cardio on one of my off days and will be no shorter than 1 hour minimum.
Weight training has been 45minutes up into 1 hour max 5 days a week. With Cardio at 60minutes up into 1 hour & 30 minutes to be done 5-6 days a week for 12 weeks to prepare for second cycle.
In two days time I've done 3 hours of cardio and burned off 1,175 calories with just cardio alone not including my calories burned with weight training.
I need to keep up the pace and not fuck around, time to tighten up and push it to the limit and be locked in, if I am to hit the stage one day I have to put the work in day in and day out everyday For my vision to become a reality and for me to try and become a champion one day. no excuses.
Enjoy the update everyone!

Thursday October 26 2023
Today my update will be for Wednesday & Thursday as I didnt post last night.
I will Start out by saying man I feel super tired and definitely alot weaker being back on my trt dose, naturally endurance is down and weight being pushed is down, either way we find a way to still get the work done and keep trucking, cardio is the primary focus for these 12 weeks to get into the shape I need to be in for more success with the upcoming cycle, I would like to do big things and set myself up to capitalize in a productive fashion.
Right now focus is get the damn work done get the damn cardio done and reach the goal infront of me. I hate cardio but I just pretend like I love it to get it handled no excuses.
That is OK I will just work around it and drop the weight push some volume not at an insane level , something I can recover from while I hammer out cardio for these 12 weeks. I am not used to feel this sore I almost forgot what that was like with how good my recovery on test and primo was.
Current goal is get into that 10%-12% body fat range before I run my second cycle. I Currently am at 15% . 12 weeks is plenty time to reach the realistic goal I set for BF %
Enjoy the combined updates everyone!

yeh.. two to 3 hours of workout ..impressive ..
Yeah I have been thinking about it
Definitely got to stay on schedule so we can be at a good place down the line.
Just doing it is half the battle
APPROVED LOG
let us know what you decide to do
Indeed and it is always something I must do
Yeah I can't say I'm shocked either just frustrated lol, but it's all part of the process, we endure and keep trucking
Yeah by me it's now getting colder and dark at 4pm so that could be it as well
Yeah i agree quad you definitely are correct, para pharma took excellent care of me and the difference with utilizing it and being it vs being off I can't even give u a comparison, because on para I felt like a machine.
Yeah could be the cardio, I'm trying so fucking hard to meet this deadline before I get back on cycle it's really making me push the cardio hard as hell
Yeah that is and idea I also thought about possibly trying.

Chest Day went well and I achieved a great pump today which I was pleased with, overall still training for the pump dialing back the weight lifted with my lifts and focusing on volume.
Still lifting 5 days a week with cardio being done 5-6 days each week. Bern keeping weight training around 45 minutes most days and my cardio at 1 hour or a little bit over each day.
Dropping some weight and bodyfat are my 2 main focusing points while being off cycle and only being on trt atm.
Being off does suck alot thinking in my head the differences being on makes vs being off, either way we train, we hit cardio, we find ways to get it done and achieve the vision and long term goals.

Saturday October 28 2023
Will be combining Saturday and Sundays workouts in this post.
Saturday was my back day and honestly I was pleasantly surprised how well everything was hitting and I felt very good, so I decided to push on Rack pulls to see how much strength I have retained.
Gym was also busy so I used what I could for equipment when it was open.
Legs also felt great, I think all the Stair Stepper 1 hour cardio few times a week has been paying off for my leg endurance.
So second cycle is planned out and locked in as far as the plan and the mg amounts for 12 weeks.
I am not worried about running test and primo as I literally just ran it with zero issues, and with me utilizing N2Guard for this run and tbol being mild in nature I am not concerned with how I will react with those compounds.
the only wild card for me is running EQ for the first time, i think to be on the safer side i will donate blood before my cycle starts or 6 weeks into my cycle, blood thickness could be an issue i dont want, so got to be smart with this compound, also i hope i am not one to get the EQ anxiety many speak of, i think at 300mg a week i should be ok, just some thoughts i might have to over come, so i wanted to post about it.
all in all i believe great things can and will be achieved with this cycle when i start it after my 12 weeks off is up from my last cycle.
Time will tell either way so we just keep on trucking
an getting it done.

Nice work the 15 reps rows
I really enjoy doing 15 reps or more with rows, I find it a very fun exercise and movement.
Yes I think this should also be a very clean and easy cycle for my second run, I don't want to just dive into the deep end. I feel it is the right move to keep it simple and mild as I gain more experience with compounds untill I get enough cycles under my belt, no point in the homerun right away, I enjoy keeping it mild and simple and hassle free cycles.
on days that you feel good I like to push a little more
APPROVED LOG
Yeah brother, I don't believe in just going into harsher compounds immediately, if I have to use them one day then maybe that will be a discussion for a future date.
At this point in time, I am just trying to gain cycle experience and knowledge and find out what compounds work best for me and what I can handle mentally and physically.
Yeah that is what i am looking for.
Yeah very well could be, just had to post what I've read about.
That also could hold very true, I am excited to run test/eq/primo/tbol together I feel it will he and excellent stack.
great Log bro
Great job man. Way to push.
thats impressive. adequate sleep n water...along with balanced home food ...
November 1 2023
I went into the red cross to donate blood on Tuesday as I haven't donated in a while. I figured it would be a good idea to prepare for my second cycle by getting ahead of the curve.
Funny enough they almost didn't let me donate because I guess the nurse got worried because my resting heart rate came in at 40. I have always had a low resting heart rate, when I start hitting cardio really hard it goes even lower.
At the end of the day she could barely find my pulse lol, had to try both arms 4 times in total, I assured her this is normal and it has always been this way for me.
My hemicrait came in at a 16.9 which she was also worried about being high, in my mind that really isn't that bad all things considered.
In the end I was able to donate and everything went perfectly fine.
I will go back in 8 weeks and donate again to continue to stay ontop of things, plus I also get to help people so it is a win for me and for others, I felt good about that aspect.
Wednesday training: I decided to switch it up and toss some more body parts into my first day back, also good to switch it up sometimes. I wanted to see what my endurance would be like and what I could push through after donating blood, so I just went for it but didn't go super heavy on anything.

The gym seems to be getting more and more packed with the winter months now starting, which I will never understand, another year of people just starting only to quit a few months later.
So today I did back and I used the equipment that was open which seems no one likes rowing because that was all that was open for a while for me so lots of rows today, I don't mind as I love the rowing movements.
Everything was hitting great for back today and I was very pleased with it today.
I've noticed some of my strength with certain lifts is coming back slowly as I progress with utilizing just my trt, I really truly miss being on cycle and honestly I can't wait to be back on cycle, counting down the days till I'm back on.
On one hand I miss being on para pharma and all the benefits from para pharma that i witnessed during my cycle.
On the other hand I like that I have to learn and go through the process of what it feels like being off vs being on, and find a way to get it done mentally, if I am upfront about it, training off cycle sucks in many ways, either way I will always find a way to keep trucking and get it done. I feel it is very valuable being on and going off then on again, for a guy like me it helps me realize and truly appreciate how incredible para pharma is and what it can do for me, keeps me humble and grounded being on both sides of the fence.
Cardio sucks and its boring and i dislike it, i just act like i love it because it forces me to not skip it or make excuses, i would feel guilty and in the end i would sabotage myself, so we do it and get it done. I cant leave the gym a loser or half assing things just wont do it.
my vision wont happen one day if i cheat myself or slack off so we dont let that even become and option or ever happen.

I was drifting and day dreaming a bit at work tonight during the slow periods, I was reflecting on my vison and my goals off and on throughout the night.
I got off work and I came to the fork in the road I had two choices. 1 take a right onto the highway and head home or two take a left at the fork and head back into the gym.
I was content and pleased with my back workout before work today, something just clicked into my head and I thought to myself being content means I'm settling for being average, average doesn't win a bodybuilding show, average is last place, average is not part of my plan.
So I took the hard road and I went into that gym and I killed another workout tonight.
I need to push myself further than I've ever been if I am going to be successful with my journey, at times I will need to go those extra miles or hit 2 workouts and 2 cardio sessions, I must do whatever it takes to step onto the stage to be competitive in the future. I won't quit I won't slack I am willing to sacrifice what is needed to build something that at one point I thought would always be a dream.
If i fail i fail, if i do so it will be on my own terms and not a single person can say its because i didnt put the work in or long nights in or sacrifice enough, i will continue to learn lessons and adapt and adjust until i can win one day no matter how long it takes i wil one day achieve it.

@Topps_Baseball88 blood donations are crucial good step broNovember 1 2023
I went into the red cross to donate blood on Tuesday as I haven't donated in a while. I figured it would be a good idea to prepare for my second cycle by getting ahead of the curve.
Funny enough they almost didn't let me donate because I guess the nurse got worried because my resting heart rate came in at 40. I have always had a low resting heart rate, when I start hitting cardio really hard it goes even lower.
At the end of the day she could barely find my pulse lol, had to try both arms 4 times in total, I assured her this is normal and it has always been this way for me.
My hemicrait came in at a 16.9 which she was also worried about being high, in my mind that really isn't that bad all things considered.
In the end I was able to donate and everything went perfectly fine.
I will go back in 8 weeks and donate again to continue to stay ontop of things, plus I also get to help people so it is a win for me and for others, I felt good about that aspect.
Wednesday training: I decided to switch it up and toss some more body parts into my first day back, also good to switch it up sometimes. I wanted to see what my endurance would be like and what I could push through after donating blood, so I just went for it but didn't go super heavy on anything.

@Topps_Baseball88 going to the gym means next level, you're pushing it hard, success is coming broNovember 2 2023

I like how you do a few paragraphs or you summarize things before posting your workouts
donating blood is a very smart choice a lot of guys fall behind on that and then they're not able to anymore
bro nice job, you doing good
Glad it all worked out
I need to push like this at times and feel as well as understand what I can handle mental wise and physical wise and adapt and push myself to a place I've never been , it's always the mind that let's go before the body when people tend to give up, got to train my mind.
Yeah she was like nervous about me donating lol I was like trust me I know my body and I know what happens when I do heavy cardio this is all normal, you are correct because looking around that day I was the only one in decent shape.
I feel this is almost therapeutic for me in a few ways and I enjoy letting you guys see inside my mind and read my inner thoughts and what I'm going through emotionally and physically, I feel it is worth my time doing it this way. I also feel it is more engaging for everyone who follows my journey, I got to put my heart and soul into this.
Yeah I need to do so every 8 weeks from here on out, I did it with just trt I feel now it is even more important with the journey I am on and the tools I will be utilizing to achieve my goals.

Today was a bit frustrating as the gym is increasing in number of clients and it is growing difficult to find open bench weights and equipment for my lifts.
Plus all these people standing around talking wasting time plus what is up with people group lifting? I can understand one person, why yall need 4-5 people with u taking up space and room doing nothing.
I utilized the assisted pull up machine, I bent over it put my arms on each side and did a modified bench press pushing towards the floor, and on the way up I slowed the movement way down putting time under tension, so basically a modified press for chest, all the shit was taken up so I had to do what I had to do for that one. I just adapt and keep on trucking.
Being off cycle has shown me how much of a blessing it is to have approved sources with high quality gear, after experiencing the difficulties and differences in the mind and the body being off vs on, it has truly humbled me and made me thankful and very grateful to train both ways and truly have a high appreciation for the compounds, as well as how hard I have to work wether I'm on or I'm off it has helped me grow mentally a hell of alot and I love that it had opened that door for me , train the mind and the body will follow is how I see it.
It had helped me learn and give me a first hand perspective on how blessed of a feeling it is having access to these sources and to be part of a positive community of vets and people.
everyone who reads learns and continues to support me and my logs and my journey i am very thankful and appreciative of every one for getting behind me and constantly pushing me to be my best and reach new levels and step onto the stage one day. I am so proud to be a part of our community, it truly makes all the difference and helps me push on the days I feel I don't got it, I remember the community has my back and I need to get after it no bs no excuses.
I wish I could have done more but I had to work with what I had available sadly since to many people in the way today.

Second round of cardio completed after work, I only hit 40 minutes before work today with the time, so we went back and added another 25 minutes tonight.
Did another 1.24 miles up hill and racked out another 230 calories burned , down below I will list the total combined cardio numbers for today.
I feel like I'm cheating myself if I don't get in atleast and hour and if that means I break it up day and night or have to split weight training before an after it will all get done point blank period just how it needs and will always be.
Goal chasing baby we got to go get it hell or high water
