Hello everyone,
I’m starting a new log here and I’m open to any additional advice or insights from those with experience.
General Info
- Age: 45 years old
- Goal: Increase lean muscle mass and reduce body fat
- Start Weight: 69.5 kg (153 lbs)
- Current Weight: 74.5 kg (164 lbs)
Cycle Overview
This cycle is intended to increase my lean mass and strength while managing fat. Below is a breakdown of my cycle, including the supplements I’m using, the peptides for tendon health, and the PCT (Post-Cycle Therapy) plan.
Cycle Plan
- Week 1: 250 mg Test E per week
- Weeks 2-4: 250 mg Test E per week + 40 mg T-bol per day
- Weeks 5-7: 250 mg Test E per week + peptides (for tendonitis)
- Weeks 8-9: 250 mg Test E per week + 40 mg Anavar per day
- Weeks 10-12: 375 mg Test E per week + 40 mg T-bol per day
- Week 13: 500 mg Test E per week (split doses)
Peptides for Tendon Health (Elbow Tendonitis)
- Weeks 4-7:
- BPC-157: 2000 mcg/ml, 0.2 ml subcutaneously every second night
- TB500 (TB4): 3000 mcg/ml, 0.1 ml subcutaneously Mon-Fri
- Glutathione: 200 mg/ml, 0.2 ml daily (for liver health)
PCT (Post-Cycle Therapy)
- Clomid: 50/50/25/25 mg (4-week taper)
- Nolvadex: 40/40/20/20 mg (4-week taper)
- Aromasin: Adjust as needed (to manage estrogen levels)
- N2Guard (On hand for liver and overall support)
- I’m considering alternatives for N2Guard in Australia—any suggestions?
I plan to get bloodwork done 2 weeks after my last dose of Test E, then again at the 6-week mark to monitor recovery and overall health.

Diet
I follow a high-protein diet to support muscle growth, aiming for about 2g of protein per kg of body weight. I don’t track carbs or fats meticulously, but I focus on clean eating with minimal processed foods. My meals mainly consist of:
- Meats (chicken, beef, pork)
- Vegetables and leafy greens
- Salads and fruits
Here’s a sample of my daily meals:

- Lunch: 9 oz lean ground beef, 400g jasmine rice, 30g cheddar cheese
- Snack: Protein bar
- Dinner: 9 oz lean ground beef, 400g jasmine rice, 30g cheddar cheese
- Pre-bed: Oikos Greek yogurt
Current Thoughts & Questions
- PCT Options: I have my PCT plan outlined, but I'm still waiting on Clomid and Nolvadex to arrive. If anyone has experience with Australian PCT protocols, I’d love some advice.
- Supplements for Liver Health: I’m already taking several liver support supplements like milk thistle and glutathione, but I’m open to other recommendations—especially local options in Australia.
- Peptides for Recovery: I’ve added BPC-157 and TB500 for tendonitis, and I’m curious about other members’ experiences with these peptides for joint and tendon recovery.
Looking Forward to Feedback
This log is part of my commitment to track everything during my cycle and PCT. I want to document progress, side effects, and anything that might be helpful to others planning a similar cycle. If you’ve run a testosterone cycle with orals before, I’d love to hear about your experience with PCT, recovery, and supplement strategies.
Feel free to drop your comments or suggestions—whether it’s about bloodwork timing, peptide use, or diet adjustments.
I’m starting a new log here and I’m open to any additional advice or insights from those with experience.
