Hey everyone,
This will be my first official log here, and I'm excited to start sharing my journey! I’ve been lurking on the forum for a while and have decided it’s time to contribute and document my progress. I've been lifting on and off since I was 16, but it wasn’t until about 4-5 years ago that I really started taking my training and diet seriously. Over the last 13 months, things have really ramped up, and I’ve committed fully to my fitness goals.
In August of last year, I decided to take the plunge into PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs), and it’s been a game-changer for me. My focus is on gradual, steady progress, and I’ve been keeping things relatively minimalist in terms of dosages, drawing a lot of inspiration from resources like MPMD and Vigorous Steve.
I’ve got my sights set on competition, potentially late 2025 or early 2026, depending on how my growth phases go. I’m excited to see how much muscle I can put on over the next couple of years, with a couple of solid growth phases under my belt.
Growth Phase Plan
Starting tomorrow , I'll be kicking off my next growth phase. I’ll be updating this log daily with everything from training, nutrition, and daily updates to track progress and reflect on what’s working (or not).
Stats:
- Age: 26
- Height: 184 cm (6'0")
- Weight: 96.2 kg (212 lbs)
- Body Fat: Around 9-10%
Training Split:
I’ve structured my training to focus on progressive overload while keeping a balance between heavy and lighter sessions to allow for recovery. Here’s my current split:
- Day 1: Heavy Push (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps)
- Day 2: Light Pull (Back, Biceps)
- Day 3: Light Legs (Quads, Hamstrings, Glutes)
- Day 4: Rest
- Day 5: Medium Upper (Chest, Back, Shoulders)
- Day 6: Heavy Lower (Legs)
- Day 7: Rest
- Day 8: Light Push (Chest, Shoulders)
- Day 9: Heavy Pull (Back, Biceps)
- Day 10: Medium Legs (Quads, Hamstrings, Glutes)
- Day 11: Rest & Repeat
I adjust the intensity of each session based on how my body feels and the amount of rest I’ve gotten. I’m focusing on compound movements and mixing in accessories to target weak points.
Nutrition:
I’ve mapped out my macros based on my training days to ensure I’m fueling my body properly for muscle growth. Here's my breakdown:
- Push/Upper Body Days: 3944 Calories (299g Protein, 593g Carbs, 43g Fat)
- Legs/Pull Days: 2485 Calories (294g Protein, 199g Carbs, 56g Fat)
- Rest Days: 2336 Calories (296g Protein, 148g Carbs, 61g Fat)
I plan on refeeding on push/upper body days, where I’ll increase the carbs to support higher energy output. These numbers will be adjusted throughout the growth phase as needed.
Meal Plan:
I aim for 5-6 meals a day with a variety of high-quality, whole foods:
- Proteins: Chicken breast, kangaroo, mackerel in oil, tuna
- Carbs: Jasmine rice, freedom cereals, vegetables, fruit
- Fats: Fish oils, olive oil, nuts
- Supplements: Protein isolate, probiotic kefir, vitamin/mineral supplementation
- Hydration: 3-4 liters of water daily
I’ll tweak my food choices based on progress, digestion, and energy levels during the phase.
Current Cycle:
For this growth phase, I’m starting with:
- Testosterone Enanthate (Test E): 200 mg/week
- Primobolan (Primo): 100 mg/week
- Human Growth Hormone (HGH): 3 IU daily (pre-bed) – will titrate up as needed during the phase
These are the base doses I’m starting with to avoid excessive side effects, especially since I’ve been on PEDs for less than a year. I’ll adjust the doses if I feel like I need more muscle-building stimulus over the next few weeks.
Additionals:
- Cialis (for blood flow and vascularity)
- Glutathione (antioxidant and liver support)
- Doxycycline (for skin health and preventing acne)
- Candesartan (for blood pressure management)
Supplements:
- TUDCA (liver support)
- NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine – liver detox)
- CoQ10 (heart health, energy)
- Astragalus (immune support)
- Omega-3s (fish oil)
- Krill Oil (joint health)
- Plant Sterols (cholesterol management)
- Aged Garlic (immune support)
- Turmeric Curcumin (anti-inflammatory)
- Magnesium Glycinate (sleep and muscle function)
- Resveratrol (antioxidant)
- Berberine (blood sugar regulation)
- Glutamine (gut health and recovery)
- Vitamin B Complex (energy, mood, metabolism)
What's Next:
I’ll be posting updates here regularly to track progress, both physical and mental, throughout the cycle. I’ll share training logs, diet adjustments, and any insights I gain from this phase.
Looking forward to getting some feedback from you all and hearing your experiences with Test E, Primo, and HGH. I’ll also be documenting any side effects or changes I notice, so feel free to chime in if you have any tips for managing sides or optimizing growth.
