Great info! I didn’t realize starting PCT too late could mess up recovery that much. I always waited three weeks before, might switch to starting earlier now.
Huge thanks for the tips, man. Bulgarian split squats and slow negatives on presses were absolute game changers. I used to underestimate light dumbbells, but when you slow it down and push to failure, it hits different. Respect for getting it done while living on the road!
Funny you say that — I had one or two days early on where I felt a little “wired” and couldn’t fall asleep easily. Never got full-on headaches, but I’ve heard of others having those. I might stay at 12.5 next time unless I feel suppressed. You’re right — no need to push higher if it’s working.
Appreciate that. That transition off the cycle was something I really focused on — I didn’t want to lose the progress. I’ve read about MK causing some prolactin elevation in certain people, so I’ll definitely get bloodwork before/during if I run it. Thanks for the heads up!
You’re probably right. With my job and cardio, I think 2700 is just slightly above maintenance. I’ve been monitoring waist measurements and weekly average weight — if I gain too fast, I’ll pull back or introduce carb cycling like you suggested. Clean bulk is the mission.
Good question — it wasn’t sharp pain, more like an “inflamed” feeling in my knees, especially on leg days. I stayed mobile, warmed up thoroughly, but after bumping YK to 15mg, it became noticeable. Once I dropped it, things improved within a week. I’d say if you try it, keep the dose low and...
Appreciate it, man. Yeah, RAD-150 honestly surprised me. I expected more water weight, but it stayed dry and strength held decently. I might run it again, but I’m leaning toward trying LGD next time just to compare. Probably won’t revisit YK unless I’m prepping for something specific — joints...
Those rest-pause sets hit different 💀 Glad to see you using them intelligently and not just chasing fatigue. Any changes planned for arm volume or are they keeping pace?
Log Update – May 19, 2025
Hey everyone,
It’s been about two and a half months since my last update, so I figured it was time to check in with how things have been going. I stuck to my cut hard through March and April, and now that I’m transitioning into a lean bulk (more on that below), I...
Really solid introduction, . I’ve been debating TRT for a while, and your experience with getting it monitored by a doctor is reassuring. I’ll be following along!
Hey all,
I’ve been following a lot of logs here over the past month, and I decided it’s time to start my own. My name’s John, and I’ve been serious about lifting since high school (ninth grade to be specific). I’m currently 22 years old, and after being consistent with my diet for about six...
