Training Routine:
During my last cycle, I was following a 6-day push/pull/legs (PPL) split. Right now, during PCT, I’ve switched to a 3-day full-body routine with additional focus sessions for lagging body parts on the off days. Currently in a hypertrophy phase, aiming for 8-12 reps.

- Seated Arnold Press: 3 sets x 12 reps
- Dumbbell Curls: 3 sets x 12 reps
- Tricep Pressdowns: 3 sets x 12 reps
- Standing Calf Raises: 3 sets x 12 reps
- Decline Sit-Ups: 3 sets (AMRAP)

Diet:
I follow a clean and whole-food-based diet, focusing on nutrient density. Below are the typical meals I’m consuming right now:

Post-Workout Meal:
- 12 oz raw milk
- 1 scoop grass-fed whey protein
- 4 oz beef liver
- 1/2 tbsp raw honey
- Sea salt

Meal 2 (Rice & Egg Bowl):
- 6 scrambled eggs
- 1/3 cup white rice (cooked with bone broth)
- 2 oz kimchi

Meal 3 (Overnight Oats):
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
- 2 tbsp chia, flax, hemp seeds
- 1 scoop plant-based protein powder
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 oz banana
- 1 tbsp raw honey
- 4 oz raw milk
- 4 oz whole-fat Greek yogurt

Meal 4 (Chicken Tacos):
- 8 oz ground chicken
- 2 Mission carb balance flour tortillas
- 2 oz shredded Mexican cheese
- 4 tbsp whole-fat sour cream

Meal 5 (Chicken Caesar Salad):
- 6 oz chicken breast (blackened in olive oil)
- 1/2 head romaine lettuce
- 2 tbsp Caesar dressing
- 1/2 tbsp parmesan cheese

Meal 6 (Lemon Pepper Chicken & Sweet Potatoes):
- 8 oz chicken breast (cooked in olive oil)
- 6 oz roasted sweet potatoes

Sleep:
I’ve always struggled with sleep quality. I typically wake up several times throughout the night, and I usually can’t sleep past 3 or 4 AM. I tend to get in bed by 8 PM, aiming for 7-8 hours of rest. I track my sleep using a watch to keep an eye on how restorative it is, though it’s still a work in progress.
- Diet Adjustments: For anyone with experience with liver support during cycles—any suggestions for improving my liver protection? I’ve been sticking to liver and organ support supplements but always open to more tips.

- Training Modifications: I’ve recently switched to a full-body routine during PCT. Anyone else here find full-body training helps with maintaining muscle while on PCT? Would love to hear your experiences.

- Cialis and Blood Flow: I’ve added Cialis to my pre-workout for better vascularity and pumps. Has anyone else used Cialis regularly in their cycles? I’d appreciate any feedback on dosage or effectiveness.
Thanks for reading! I’ll be updating this log regularly to track my progress. If anyone has thoughts or advice on any of the topics mentioned (diet, training, supplements), feel free to share. I’m all ears and looking forward to learning from the community!
