Hey everyone, here’s my cycle log. Decided to document my progress and see where this journey takes me.
Cycle Overview
- Duration: 10 weeks
- Dosages:
- Sustanon: 350mg/week
- Equipoise (EQ): 300mg/week
- Tri-Tren Blend: 200mg/week
- After 10 weeks, I'll drop back to TRT dose.
Supplements:
- Protein (Whey)
- Athletic Greens
- Multivitamin
- Fish Oil
- CBD Oil
- Pre-workout
- L-Carnitine
- Lion’s Mane
- SAMe, GABA, CoQ10 (based on genetic test results)
Blood Work:
- All blood markers were in the optimal range before starting the cycle.
Background
I recently retired from competitive sports after an injury, which happened just a week out from a major event. For the past decade, I’ve been doing sport-specific conditioning but have rarely focused on bodybuilding. Previously, I did powerlifting and ran some big cycles, getting extremely strong and reaching 235lbs, but never focused on aesthetics. Now, I'm transitioning to bodybuilding, aiming for muscle gain and physique development.
Current Stats (Starting Point)
- Height: 5'9"
- Weight: 172 lbs (lean, visible veins in my stomach)
- Current weight (after one week): 182 lbs (mostly glycogen and increased carbs)
Diet Plan
- Eating Pattern: 12-hour fasting
- Meal Breakdown:
- Breakfast: Nuts and fruit
- Meals 2 & 3: Lean protein, rice, and vegetables
- Shakes: Two shakes with milk added throughout the day
- Diet Approach: Outside of training camps, I’ve always eaten whatever I wanted, but now I’m committing to staying on track permanently.
Training Plan
Due to a current injury, I’m unable to train legs, so I’ve modified my routine:
- Push Day
- Pull Day
- Accessory Day / Yoga
- Rest Day
Once my legs are fully healed, the routine will look like this:
- Monday: Legs & conditioning (sled work, sprints)
- Tuesday: Push Day + Air Dyne Tabatas
- Wednesday: Sports in the AM + Pull Day & Rowing in the PM
- Thursday: Yoga in the AM + Sports in the PM
- Friday: Legs + Technical Sport Work
- Saturday: Family Day
- Sunday: Upper body + Kettlebell circuit
I’m still avoiding max lifts for now since I don’t want to rush things and risk further injury. Once I feel stable, I’ll begin tracking one-rep maxes.
Goals:
- Reach 190-200 lbs without adding excess fat.
- Focus on muscle gain, strength retention, and improving overall physique aesthetics.
- Transition away from constant sports training to more focused bodybuilding.
Share your experiences and any tips you have for managing training, diet, and supplement stacks.
