My training log

Hey everyone, after a bit of procrastination, I’ve finally decided to log my training here. I’ve been focusing on cutting body fat, and so far, I’ve dropped 22kg (48 lbs). I’m currently running a relatively moderate cycle and following a solid training routine. Here’s a breakdown of what I’m doing:

Current Cycle:
- Testosterone Enanthate (Test-E): 250mg/week
- Masteron Enanthate (Mast-E): 200mg/week
- Supplements:
- Amino 1Q (5g): 50mg/day
- Gamma Butyrobetaine: 25mg/day
- GW0742 (PPAR-δ agonist): 20mg/day
- Injectable L-Carnitine: 600mg/day
- HGH (Human Growth Hormone): 4 IU before bed

Current Stats:
- Height: 5'10"
- Bodyweight: 91.5kg (202 lbs)
- Calories: 1,700–2,000/day
- Blood Glucose: 4.5–5.0 mmol/L
- Blood Pressure: 105/65 – 125/75

Training Split:
I’m following a Push, Pull, Legs routine twice a week, which I find works well for muscle maintenance during a cut. My workouts always finish with 2-3 sets of abs.

Nutrition:
I’m sticking to a relatively low-calorie intake (1,700–2,000 calories per day) to continue cutting down. I'll be posting more about my food prep soon—usually, I prep everything on Sundays for the week ahead.

Next Steps:
I’ll continue cutting for a little while longer before transitioning into a blast phase. I’ll make sure everything is dialed in before I start increasing the doses.
I’d love to hear about others’ experiences with cutting while on cycle—what kind of supplements, training, and nutrition strategies have worked best for you during a fat loss phase?

Masteron + Test-E combo is money for a cut.

Hey everyone!


It’s been about a month and a half since my last post, so I thought I’d give you an update on my progress. The cut is going well, and I’m still focused on keeping everything dialed in as I make my way toward the blast phase. Here’s where I’m at:


Current Stats:

• Weight: 87.5 kg (~193 lbs)
• Body Fat: Dropped another 3%—I’m now around 14-15% body fat. Still leaning out but maintaining muscle mass pretty well.
• Calories: 1,800–2,100 per day (I’ve slightly increased calories to maintain energy levels, especially as my training intensity stays high).
• Blood Pressure: 115/70 – 120/80
• Blood Glucose: 4.4–5.0 mmol/L (stable)

Cycle Update:

• Testosterone Enanthate: 250mg/week
• Masteron Enanthate: 200mg/week
• Supplements:
  • Amino 1Q (5g): 50mg/day
  • Gamma Butyrobetaine: 25mg/day
  • GW0742 (PPAR-δ agonist): 20mg/day
  • Injectable L-Carnitine: 600mg/day
  • HGH: 4 IU before bed

No issues with the cycle so far—strength is up, and I feel like I’m holding on to muscle while getting leaner. The Masteron is definitely helping with muscle hardness, and the HGH has been great for recovery. I’ve also been keeping an eye on water retention and estrogenic side effects, and I haven't noticed any significant issues.


Training:I’ve stuck to my Push, Pull, Legs routine, but I’m adjusting the volume a bit to make sure I don’t burn out with the calories being a bit lower. I’m focusing on maintaining strength while not overdoing the volume.


Here's what my recent chest and shoulder workout looked like:


Smith Machine Bench Press

• Set 1: 12 reps @ 89kg
• Set 2: 10 reps @ 109kg
• Set 3: 8 reps @ 129kg
• Set 4: 6 reps @ 129kg
• Set 5: 8 reps @ 89kg / 14 reps @ 49kg (drop set)

Smith Machine Shoulder Press

• Set 1: 8 reps @ 89kg
• Set 2: 10 reps @ 89kg
• Set 3: 10 reps @ 89kg
• Set 4: 10 reps @ 89kg
• Set 5: 10 reps @ 89kg / 10 reps @ 49kg (drop set)

I’ve been focusing on form, intensity, and drop sets to get the most out of every movement, and my shoulder strength is definitely improving.


Other exercises include:

• Machine Pec Dec Fly, Hammer Strength Incline Press, Cable Tricep Pushdowns, Chest Dips, and various ab exercises like Decline Crunches and Heel Taps.

I still make sure to end every workout with abs work to maintain a strong core.


Nutrition:I’ve kept my diet pretty tight with about 1,800–2,100 calories per day, and I'm still sticking to whole foods. My carb intake is mostly around training time to fuel performance, and I’m keeping protein high to maintain muscle. Here’s an example of my daily meals:

• Meal 1: 6 egg whites, 1 whole egg, 50g oats, 1 tbsp peanut butter
• Meal 2: 200g chicken breast, 100g sweet potato, 1 avocado
• Meal 3: 200g lean beef, 50g quinoa, 1 cup mixed vegetables
• Meal 4: 150g tuna, 1 cup leafy greens, 1 tbsp olive oil
• Meal 5: 250g cottage cheese, 30g almonds

I’m also drinking plenty of water throughout the day and adding electrolytes when needed to keep hydration up.


Progress:So far, I’ve dropped another 4 kg (~9 lbs) since my last update, and I’m really happy with the progress. I can see more definition, especially in my abs and legs. My strength has stayed relatively stable, though I’ve had to back off a bit on the volume to avoid overtraining. It’s been a bit of a balancing act, but I’m feeling good overall.


Next Steps:I’m planning to continue cutting for a bit longer, but once I hit my target body fat percentage (around 12-13%), I’ll begin transitioning into the blast phase. I’m thinking of increasing the doses slightly and possibly adding in a few more compounds to help with muscle gain, but I’ll make sure to adjust my training and diet accordingly.


Questions:

• Anyone here have experience with cutting on cycle for a longer period? How did you balance recovery and training intensity?
• For those who have transitioned from a cut to a blast, how did you manage the shift in calorie intake and training volume?

Overall, I’m feeling great, and I’m excited to keep pushing forward.

Good luck and keep going!

Legit workout, man.
