Life Change and Body Recomp Cycle Log. Test P, NPP - sponsored Southern Cross Labs

[theJimJim]

G’day everyone,
Figured it’s time to start a proper log and hold myself accountable. Aussie Dad wanting to change my body for the better. Keep strong for my family and kids.
I’m currently focused on a full body recomposition — dropping body fat while maintaining (and ideally building) lean muscle. This isn’t just a short-term cut… I’m building a lifestyle I can stick to long-term.

Starting Stats
Start Date: 16 Jan 2026
Starting Weight: 106.5 kg
Height: 185 cm
Current Phase: Recomp / Fat Loss
Goal: Lose fat steadily while building/maintaining muscle; may aim for ~95 kg depending on mirror progress

Sponsor / Cycle
Sponsor: @Southern Cross Labs

Cycle Started: 17 Mar 2026 — Test P + NPP on top of TRT
TRT: 125 mg Reandron weekly
Cycle Details: Test P 90mg + NPP 90mg EOD alongside TRT
First pin went smoothly — no PIP, no issues with oil
Focus now: monitor recovery, performance, and overall feel

Goals
Drop body fat
Maintain / build lean muscle
Improve overall health, fitness, and recovery
Build consistency with training, nutrition, and sleep

Approach
Calories ~2000/day
Protein 200g+
Progressive overload training
Simple, repeatable food structure
Prioritize recovery and injury management

17MAR 2026 – Daily Update

Stats
Weight: 100.1 kg (last weighed 15MAR – weekly weigh-in)
Goal: Body recomp; possibly 95kg, but will judge by mirror

Sleep
Hours Slept: ~6h total (split sleep)
Fell asleep ~1:30am, up at 6:15am for the kids
Nap 10:00–11:15am
Not ideal sleep, but nap helped

Energy
Level: 6/10
Noticeable highs and lows throughout the day

Soreness
DOMS: 0/10
Elbow: I've been dealing with a small elbow injury, pop sound while setting up for preacher curls and pain to extend elbow from then. Stable, same as yesterday — being cautious starting to get better.

Training
Nil weights today — appointments prevented lifting before work
Prioritizing elbow recovery

Cardio / Activity
Total Steps: 19,500
Cardio:
4 km jog (nonstop)~35 min during dinner break
Notes: Strong effort — cardio capacity improving noticeably

Nutrition
Calories: 2274 kcal
Protein: 215.3 g
Carbs: 168 g
Fat: 75.3 g

Food Today:
2 eggs + smoked jalapeño & cheese sausage on a sandwich + WPC coffee
Smoked oysters on 6 Arnott’s Jatz crackers
Smoked tuna + salad sandwich
Lunch wrap with salad + 200g shortcut bacon
Thai red curry (dinner)
200g Chobani fat-free yogurt + 100g frozen pineapple

Cycle / PED Update
Test P 90mg + NPP 90mg EOD alongside TRT 125mg Reandron weekly
First pin smooth — no PIP or issues with oil
Cycle officially underway — focus on tracking recovery, performance, and overall feel

Wrap Up / Notes
Sleep wasn’t perfect, but still had a high-output day — good resilience
4 km nonstop jog is a win — cardio clearly improving
Calories slightly above target, protein solid
Another rest day from weights — smart for elbow recovery
Excited to track performance and recovery over the coming weeks

All, I understand this is a copy and paste from Evo, anabolix and EF but it is just for an intro. I will update on different aspects as I see it on each one as I go.

Touch Down! Here is my goods that I had hit the deck. First pin was yesterday. I pinned 90mg of each, the NPP and Test P separately into each Delt just to see if there was any difference in PIP. Both injected smooth and no PIP to be felt today.
Let's fucking 90mg of each EOD for 8 weeks is the plan!

Really good and conservative dosing, should see some clean gains.

Thank you for the TD !
