[CookieBaah]

With another log.

Football season is finished,
And the excessive eating is done with,
After a huge few weeks of just eating and eating and eating, the cut has arrived.

And we move along to the next phase.

Im a creature of habit,
And will easily eat the same meals day in day out,
Adding changes in throws me out mentally to be honest,

So probably just going to stick fat to the set calories,
And run it home.

Ah I completely get it if it wasn't for me my natural thyroid takes a bashing while dieting I would 100% be doing the same.

 

[rizzlekdizzle]

This should be a good one

What's the cycle plan?

 

[CookieBaah]

This should be a good one

What's the cycle plan?

Just come from 350mg Test, 150mg Primo,

As of last week and for the next few weeks going to be sitting at 250mg test,
Still fine tuning where I want to go after that.


Sorta related,
But Opting to not use a GLP for this cut,
Just Clen.

what made you go clen over reta?

 

[CookieBaah]

what made you go clen over reta?

Reta stopped working for me even at 5mg,
Was also ferociously hungry and craving sweet foods once it stopped being effective.

The effects it had on my RHR and HRV,
Weren't favourable either.

 

[Hegs00]

looking forward to following this one along brother

 

[ChewedSleek]

Following along, bro

Day 1 of the cut phase,
Coming in off a bad sleep wasnt the best way to start, but don't feel too tired.

Starting off the new training program today,
Found a nice 4 Day Upper/Lower split program,
Exercises that fits how I wish to train.

Actually keen to do standalone leg days again, have not done one in a very long time, always had been a fullbody, but lower focus the past 12 months atleast.

All that's being used right now is Test and Clen

Bit of an "about me" to those new to my logs,

32,
Father of 5 boys aged 11, 10, 3.5, 1.5, 6months.

Play country town level AFL,
Have ran a marathon and a half marathon in last couple years,
Been in the gym training roughly 15 years,

Nearly 6months use of Testosterone,
Decided I was definitely done having children and my bloods showed pretty poor testosterone levels as it was.


I have pretty big food aversions, fussy/picky eating that I've had to work around all my life,
Makes dieting both easy and hard at the same time,
Cause I can comfortably eat the same things day in day out,
But variety is small.


I've spent easily the last 10 years yo-yoing up and down in weight,
Weighing in at my biggest of 120kg (11 years ago),
And my smallest of 80kg (6 Months ago)

 

[ChewedSleek]

5x boys!?! That would be a workout in and of itself just chasing them around all day!

JOURNAL:
Knew I was holding alot of water, but to drop 3.1kg on the scales in 24hours is crazy.

Tried to go for a longer lower intensity run today,
Had to pull the pin 5mins in,

The issue I've had arise doing distance running the past few months is back again,
I know now it's not to do with anything I'm taking as I've scaled everything back/removed anything I was taking when it first started.

And it's not an injury as such,
My tibialis anterior just gets so pumped full of blood, I get like severe pain and loss of full dorsi flexion,
It's either some sort of compartment syndrome,
Or tightness from my calves/legs/back is exacerbating it causing it to happen..

Once I start walking it calms down and if I stop moving altogether it goes away.


I can play football and do interval running,
I just can't do long sustained distance running.
So we will have to work around that,
However I do have a deep tissue sports massage booked in for tomorrow hopefully loosen myself up.

Had my sports massage appointment at 10,
Just got work done on the lower back, hips and legs, Hopefully loosens everything up.

A nothing day at home after, before heading to work,
For a whole nothing sort of shift.

Unfortunately due to massage I didn't do any sort of training.
Bit of a messy first week so far in terms of training,
But we do what we can.

Solid cycle.

Id persoanly put the mast in from week 1 and then tirate test up as needed if at all, shouldnt have any e2 issues at the doses you have stated.

I wouldnt fuck with orals in a cut unless your adding them for cosmetic reasons? Tren and orals can fuck your guts for weeks so its got to be worth it. I love whinny or a combo of both for a crispy look

Also on a side note im very proud to see tren in your cycle

I've the one Mast vial to use, only reason I was putting it in for the duration it is,
Use what I got kinda thing

Tryna take this cut as far as I can,
Look as lean as I can get,
Only real reason throwing in the Var,

And also reasoning for solely 4 weeks (the final 4) of Tren and at that dose,
No idea how I'm going to respond(mentally),
And no time like the depths of a cut to try some Tren

Smashed out a solid Upper workout,
Feeling really good even on low cals,
Strengths and output is holding just fine

Lazy as fk afternoon at home with the fam,
With an eventful weekend ahead.

Bit of a celebratory weekend ahead of me,
Went and watched the local football grandfinals today,
And had a day out with mates,
And have an end of season club/team get together tomorrow,
So not the cleanest of weekends being had,
But life is life,
And I don't frequently chill out and "let my hair down"
(Not that I have much of it left)

Did get some cardio in this morning however.

Bent over row is one of my favourites !

Haven't done it very frequently throughout my training, but getting used to it

120kg bench is no joke!

Strength is still building nicely to be honest, keen to see where it ends up,
140kg for a single is a nice little goal I've got in mind.

Why can't you do consistent KM? I'm been looking into going for some long runs.

 

[CookieBaah]

Why can't you do consistent KM? I'm been looking into going for some long runs.

I'm not 100% sure on what's happening,
But after 5+mins** of straight running,
My shins get an extremely sore "pump" feeling
(Not shin splints I'd take that over whatever this is)
And if I keep running it gets even sorer and I start even losing like control of my ankle/foot it gets that pumped/restricted.


Everything I've searched shows up as "CECS" - chroni exertion compartment syndrome.

But getting that diagnosed takes some work

I’d come off the AAS for a couple of months to completely rule out wether it has contributed to your compartment syndrome (mine went away after dropping to trt… and I don’t do anywhere near as much running as you).

If you don’t want to come off the AAS to rule it out, then eventually, you may need a slice up the calves (with no guarantee of whether that will work). I know what I’d prefer

And yes… what you are describing is exactly compartment syndrome. I’ve had it. Doc confirmed it. Doc gave me the options. I reduced my running and it came good after my aas load reduced back to trt. It won’t get better if you don’t make changes now. It will eventually cripple you and you won’t be able to run nor play sport. Do something about it now

 

[CookieBaah]

Currently only taking Test @ 250mg,
But could drop down lower to test further.

Finished my half marathon when my total AAS load was at like 550-600mg,
This issue occured like 3 weeks after that,

Thought at first it was being caused by other things,
But have slowly dropped things out and still coming to the same effect when running,


Lack of specialists around my town going to make it hard to get it properly diagnosed aswell (with the pressure testing etc)




I can still atleast get intervals and fartlek running done

 

[roguepineapple]

I’d drop the AAS load to trt levels bro… then rehab and reduce running. Once compartment syndrome develops… any repetitive use will just continue aggravating it. If you enjoy your AFL, running etc. and want to continue doing the things you love… then make the adjustments now. Otherwise, surgery… and a nice groovy scar down the back of your calves for life… with no guarantee of it fixing the issue.

Have a good research of how AAS can contribute to your chronic issue and see how you feel. I’m advocating quite strongly for you to do something about it bro… many people who have suffered from this have had to be medically discharged from work/careers, dropped what they love doing etc. it doesn’t go away by itself.

Big ol scar?
From what I seen its a small incision closest to wear its effected,
To expand the fascia,
But also suppose thats far from the point right now

Will give it a crack at lowering the dose further,
And maybe pick up bike riding or something in the mean time,
Dropping cardio completely ain't ideal for someone in my circumstances,
But also need to organise seeing a doctor/specialist,
Which I'm sure is going to be a costly time
hooray

 

[roguepineapple]

You may get lucky with a little scar…
But they are still normally several inches long and when they slice the fascia… then start healing, they are quite unsightly.

Hope it all works out for you and if lowering the dose of your aas is the simplest thing you can do which will yield the results you want… no fucking brainer.

Long term sports runner,
More hobby runner last 5ish years,
Leg's definitely well built for running.

Issue arose about 3months ago,
Introduction to AAS 6 months ago.


Potentially/very likely to all be connected,
Legs may have decided to grow next level and the fascia/tissue etc
Hasn't caught up.

Tricky one,
But we shall get through it

With another log.

Football season is finished,
And the excessive eating is done with,
After a huge few weeks of just eating and eating and eating, the cut has arrived.

Kinda of got out of hand in all reality,
And KG's piled on,
But we do not worry about this,
And we move along to the next phase.

Big ol scar?
From what I seen its a small incision closest to wear its effected,
To expand the fascia,
But also suppose thats far from the point right now

Will give it a crack at lowering the dose further,
And maybe pick up bike riding or something in the mean time,
Dropping cardio completely ain't ideal for someone in my circumstances,
But also need to organise seeing a doctor/specialist,
Which I'm sure is going to be a costly time
hooray

Swapping to the bike while you sort the diagnosis makes sense legend, it keeps the engine going without the repeated impact that tends to set that leg pain off.

Had some back ground life stressors going on,
So things have been a bit wayward in terms of eating and this cut.

But still getting the sessions in where I can,
Hoping things can start fresh as of this week,
With any luck.

However here was todays session,
After a ripping 10hr sleep last night
Still working into the leg/lower days.

JOURNAL:
Basically a restart of my cut after a terrible previous week;
And even today came with its own issues.


Short chance on sleep due to finishing and arvo shift and having to get up with kids,
But you get that some times.


Went off to a morning appointment see someone who deals with Musculoskeletal issues of the lower limbs too try get a read on what's fully going on with my legs, and basically what I already knew Definitely seems to be the case,
Few options at hand to try,
Altering my running Biomechanics,
Steering clear of activities that trigger the issues.

However also lower my AAS Load is also a play,
which has been dropped from 350mg, to 250mg, and now 200mg, with potential further drops to come.

I did a measurement of my calves tonight,
And they've both grown 3+ cms in the last 6 months,
Which has played a huge part in these issues im having,

Basically the TLDR;
Too much muscle growth in a short period of time, the fascia hasn't been able to keep up, and restricting and limiting blood/oxygen when I run for x amount of time.
Hooray.


Rest of the day was normal,
However went to go to gym,
To find out the gym was closed due to no power..
