Where do I start. I know I have been bad with this log recently but things are good. No matter what my training is always on point. The things that can move off track are my drug taking and nutrition but it’s never overly bad and easy to get back from. Notwithstanding for optimal training/recovery you obviously need every other area working for you. Anyway I relaxed things a little and just went on feel and ate when I was hungry. I still wanted to lose body fat I just didn’t worry about having a perfect macro set up and high protein diet so it’s far from optimal but will still work.
As long as you have a decent base you are not going to melt away and the same goes for the drugs as well. That’s why it’s always bizarre to me when guys are worrying about going on holiday for a week or 2 and how are they going to get their drugs over with them. Now if you come off cold turkey for months you will melt away but for me instead of doing my EOD shots I was doing it weekly so for a short time it worked out around 250mg test and 100mg primo per week which is plenty. I should note that is above TRT so I am not looking at it as TRT it was just a low dosed cycle for a short time. When I come off that will be approx 150mg test per week but as I have mentioned I don’t mind staying on for longer periods because I always come down very so often.
The main thing that resulted in me losing my look was I started eating low calories and pretty much low protein, low carbs and moderate fats. My body loves carbs so I flattened out a lot and whilst I was losing body fat I didn’t look good. On top of that I hadn’t shaved for ages so my upper body was smaller/flat and covered in hair so not a good look.
The good news is I transformed quickly by simply lowering fat and upping carbs. I had that planned all a long I just wanted to have a period doing the opposite the only thing that wasn’t in my plan was eating so little protein in that time but I had some high days. Now I wouldn’t have transformed if I hadn’t have done the diet that flattened me out so whilst things were relaxed there was method in my approach. My body loves a higher carb and lower fat diet. Although you often see guys talking about 1000g carbs but for me things were moderate and only 400-500g on my higher days. Moderate days in the 200-300g range and some lower day at 100g carbs as well.
I am still using test and primo but I increased my frequency to twice weekly and I also added in 150mg deca on each of those days. So it’s about 500-600mg test, 300mg deca and 200mg primo. I know that dose of primo doesn’t make much sense but it’s simply 1ml twice weekly. I do 1ml test, 1ml primo and 0.5ml deca. I randomly swop test esters so my dose is either 1ml test e (300mg) or 1ml test c (250mg). What has really helped is I have added in 20mg aromasin twice weekly (injection nights) and 20mg nolva daily. On top of that nearly 3ml synthetine preworkout every training day and that has really helped with everything.
Just those little changes with the new diet and I have transformed over the last week. My plan for the next few weeks is to do approx 3 low, 3 moderate and 1 high carb day each week. On top of that I will add in 2ml syntheselen into my preworkout protocol. I got new pics done and I look bursting full even on these lower carb amounts I am just that sensitized to them. The best thing is I plan to finish with a bang and will add in adrol and winny so those with everything else and my current diet and I will only get fuller and tighter over the next month.
Training is still Pull, Push and Legs. Probably asking for trouble but I have been rack pulling, stiff leg deadlifting and squatting (albeit in the smith) recently and my lower back hasn’t gone (doing various things to prevent it). My last 2 training session looked like…

Machine Row… 1 working set.
Rack Pulls… 2 working sets (1 loading and 1 drop off).
Seated EZ Bar Curls… 2 working sets.
DB Hammer Curls… 2 working sets the last being a drop set with 3 drops in weight.

Chicken breast, jasmine rice and Mediterranean vegetables (courgette, red pepper, yellow pepper, cherry tomato, aubergine and red onions).
Low fat cottage cheese with raspberries and blueberries.
Those 3 meals post workout were made in a giant pan with 600g raw chicken breast, 1 pack of jasmine rice (around 80g carbs) and 1 whole pack of frozen vegetables (70g carbs) so it’s 150g for the 3 meals so 50g per meal. The 1st 2 meals are approx 130g carbs each and the last meal around 40g carbs so in total it’s around 450g carbs. On moderate days I am keeping it simple and basically having chicken and berries afterwards. 1 day I literally had blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries with chicken for 4 meals. The other 2 meals were oats and jasmine rice earlier on so around 300g for the day. I love blue dragon’s sweet chilli sauce but even the low sugar version is loaded in sugar so whilst it’s not ideal for many meals I have that with chicken and it works out about 30g carbs/sugar. As long as I keep fats low I am gtg. A long winded post but a lot to cover for the last 6 weeks.
I haven’t felt that recently and my sex drive is actually lower in the last few weeks but I suspect that’s because I started a higher dose of my SSRI. I am feeling much better now but I am really lethargic especially the first half of each day.
