Approved Log Cycle Prep Training Nutrition Log

[quorumsense]

Hey all, if you've already replied to me before in my first post then you already know a little about me. I'll try to keep everything as short and sweet as possible so you don't have to read too much. I'm working on losing some weight so I can get the most out of my next cycle without having the all of the aromitization side effects of having too much fatty tissue.

I'm a male and in my mid-forties. I am currently 5'9", 182lbs and 23.1%bf. Basically, I've got a lot of dad bod going on right now. I've made significant progress since the beginning of 2025, I went from 215lbs down to 200 just with diet alone and then started exercising regularly in October of 2025. I still need to lose about 20 more pounds before I consider starting some testosterone. I don't take any weight loss medications and at this point I'm so close to my goal that I don't think I need any.

I'm highly focused on cardio right now but I am leaning into more strength training. My current generic exercise split is as follows:
Day 1: HIIT on the elliptical and then Chest and Shoulders
Day 2: 1 mile run then Back and Bis
Day 3: Stairs then Abs and Legs
Day 4: Rest

In terms of my diet I am currently high protein (>160g/day), low carb (<40g/day) and low fat (<50g/day) where most of my fats are mono or polyunsaturated. Some days I am reaching a significant caloric deficit by getting anywhere from 1000 to 1200 calories (my BMR is 1750). My sleep right now is averaging at 6 hours per day but I think it's a side effect of all the supplements, multivitamin and caffeine.

I take the following supplements daily:
4 scoops of Whey Protein mixed with 4 cups of unsweetened almond milk (100 grams of protein at 600 calories) + 5 grams of creatine + 3 grams of beta-alanine + 1 gram of HMB. I space my consumption of this out evenly throughout the day.
A multivitamin and 2 grams of icosapent ethyl (pure omega-3).

A typical day, in terms of caloric consumption, looks something like this:
0600 - wake up and drink a protein shake
0800 - breakfast consisting of a baked panko crusted chicken cutlet and roasted veggies
1100 - another protein shake
1400 - lunch consisting of a 1/4lb of cajun deli turkey and lemon feta
1700 - another protein shake
2000 - another baked panko crusted chicken cutlet and roasted veggies
2300 - another protein shake

It took some guts for me to share some pictures. It's crazy that I've lost over 30 pounds but I still feel so gross and ashamed of myself, body dysmorphia I guess. Oh well, hopefully I can look back in a year and say WOW!

Look, I'm Logging bros!

 

[CEO]

Bros, I would do some Anabolex and testosterone. I think they both stack well together and it's great for a mild stack.

 

[2Thick]

I would do some testosterone
You can go 400 to 500 mg a week and do some aromasin with it. That's really all you need.

 

[Ulter]

Love me some test and anavar. Those are good stacked together; you'll get some good hardening effects. You can also add some masteron if you want.

 

[JasonPriest]

Domestic-supply has all you need when it comes to testosterone or anything else that you want. You can definitely stack in some tbol or anavar, no problem. Make sure you use Beligas or Pharmaqo.

 

[ROIDDERS]

I love me some anavar and testosterone. Those both work together. I like the anavar at 25 mg a day.

Indeed. But equally it doesn't mean you can't improve. So less dismorphic than a step in the right direction. Keep plodding forward

 

[Oshhello]

You've really done well
For the meds, i'd say test+anavar, this is just to make the process smoother not faster cos bro you are already doing the hard work. And just so you know UPsteroid has very quality test and anavar and also has very tempting offers ongoing which you can jump on right now

did you do blood work?

 

[quorumsense]

did you do blood work?

Sorry man, I'm still figuring out what the proper etiquette is on here for getting good feedback. I'm learning. This is in response to asking what a good starting dose for subQ trt would be. A protocol I saw said to start at 75mg and then get a trough at 6 weeks and adjust by 25mg up or down accordingly. These are my most recent labs in terms of endocrine function.

1.2.26 total testosterone 266 ng/dL
1.2.26 TSH 1.73 uIU/mL
1.6.26 cortisol 16.8 ug/dL
1.6.26 FSH 5.2 mIU/mL
1.6.26 LH 2.6 mIU/mL
1.6.26 prolactin 11.2 ng/dL

Unfortunately, I don't have any thing for SHBG or free T at the moment. My liver enzymes and everything else is unremarkable. If you need something else let me know. I appreciate you, you seem very helpful. I'll try and get more info added as I go and learn. Thanks.

I don't get a "report." My doctor puts in the labs, I go to the lab, get my blood drawn and then I look my results up online. I've got a good bill of health in terms of endocrine function, other than a slightly low total testosterone at 266 ng/dL. I'm PED free for over 20 years, there are no abnormalities. You won't find anything abnormal with my liver function, lipids, or anything hematologically abnormal. I am good to go.

Endocrine Function Tests:
total testosterone 266 *low Normal range: 270 - 1,070
TSH 1.73 Normal range: 0.35 - 5.00
cortisol 16.8 Normal range: 6.7 - 22.6
FSH 5.2 Male: 1-12
LH 2.6 Male: 2-12 mIU/mL
prolactin 11.2 Normal range: 2.6 - 13.1 ng/mL

Liver Function Tests:
ALP 49 Normal range: 25 - 110 U/L
AST 38 Normal range: 7 - 40 U/L
ALT 39 Normal range: 7 - 56 U/L
Albumin 4.7 Normal range: 3.5 - 5.0 g/dL
Total Protein 7.3 Normal range: 6.0 - 8.0 g/dL
Total Bilirubin 1.2 Normal range: 0.2 - 1.3 mg/dL

Kidney Function Tests:
BUN 19 Normal range: 7 - 25 mg/dL
Creatinine 1.17 Normal range: 0.40 - 1.24 mg/dL
GFR >60 Normal range: above >60 mL/min

Hematological Values:
Total RBCs 5.1 Normal range: 4.40 - 5.50 10*6/uL
HGB 16.2 Normal range: 13.5 - 16.5 g/dL
HCT 47.8 Normal range: 40.0 - 50.0 %

Lipid Profile:
Cholesterol 170 Normal range: below <200 mg/dL
HDL 46 Normal range: above >40 mg/dL
LDL 90 Normal range: below <100.00 mg/dL

 

[quorumsense]

Still PED free but my package should arrive soon and will plan to start some TRT. I'm currently doing a 4 day PPL split. I'm focusing on compound exercises because those are the biggest mass gainers and where I'm going to see the best results starting out. I alternate a lot of my exercises and the orders in which I do them but I'm consistent with doing incline dumbell press, shoulder press, pull ups, and squats every single rotation. The lighter I'm getting I'm finding that I have less glycogen/energy stores and am sleeping better because I'm tired. My weight fluctuates a lot less the lighter I get.

On Monday I did chest and shoulders:
Warmed up with a one mile jog on the treadmill
Incline dumbell press, 5 sets, 6-12 reps.
Shoulder press, 4 sets, 6-12 reps
Dips, 4 sets, 6-12 reps
Pec deck, 3 sets, 10-12 reps

On Tuesday I did back and bis:
Warmed up with one mile jog on the treadmill
Pull ups, 5 sets, 6-12 reps
One arm dumbell rows, 4 sets, 6-12 reps
Shrugs, 4 sets, 8-12 reps
Reverse curls, 4 sets, 8-12 reps

On Wednesday I did legs and abs, this was the first day I started leg strength training as I've been focused on cardio:
No cardio warmup on a leg day because I need all the energy.
Squat press, 5 sets, 8-12 reps
Standing calf raises, 5 sets, 10-12 reps
Abdominal machine crunches, 5 sets, 8-12 reps
Torso rotation machine, 4 sets, 10-16 reps

Today will be a rest day depending on my energy level.

The bloods online I mean this one brother
the thing you post is ok but its best to have original bloods
your test levels are LOW! but where is your estrogen test?

Move the reps to 12-15 you are too low rep.

The 10 day waiting period time was just enough for me to do some risk analysis and rethink my game plan. A turinabol and testosterone cycle plan that I had originally formulated was way too much. Vigorous Steve had this advice on someone just starting out or coming back...
