Session:
Week 5 - Shoulders, Biceps & Triceps

Shoulder, arm and ab session late this afternoon. Movements included seated dumbbell shoulder press, leaning cable laterals, rope face pulls, EZ cable curls, triceps pushdowns, single-arm preacher curls, overhead cable triceps extensions, and hanging knee raises. The improved meal timing, macro structure, and hydration leading into training is noticeably improving performance and visual fullness.

Cardio:
No cardio completed today.

Nutrition & Supps:
Lunch was a macro friendly butter chicken with jasmine rice.
Pre-workout included casein custard and Coco Pops Chex, along with Pump Juice, Disorder, ALCAR and carb powder.
Intra-workout included Pump Juice, creatine, and water.

Recovery:
Sleep last night was 6 hours and 51 minutes. Quality was good, and woke feeling well rested. No lingering soreness across any of the trained muscle groups today. Body feels fresh and recovery is holding up well.

Current PEDs:
Test E: 437.5mg/week
EQ: 210mg/week
NPP: 210mg/week
GH: 5IU/day
Injected left quad this morning. No injection issues.

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
No injection issues or notable side effects. Mood, libido, digestion and energy all in a good place.

Adjustments Made:
None today. Nutritional structure and routine are both working well at present.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight: 110.9kg
Physique is currently looking slightly softer than a few weeks ago, but there are several contributing factors worth noting- growth hormone has increased from 3.33IU to 5IU, overall PED load is significantly higher, glycogen retention is greater, and carb availability around workouts has improved due to better nutrient timing. Visual fullness and strength are both up, and overall trend appears consistent with a productive growth phase.

General Comments:
Pleased with how everything is coming together. Training environment is consistent, recovery is strong, and there’s a clear runway into the next few weeks. Everything is on track.

Week 5 - Hamstring & Glute Focus
Early morning session due to work commitments later in the day. In the gym by 6am after an early breakfast at 4:45am, which did a good job fuelling the session. Training focused on hamstrings and glutes, including single-leg lying leg curls, stiff-legged deadlifts, reverse lunges, cable glute kickbacks, single-leg cuffed adductions, and leg press calf raises. Good intensity throughout, no joint discomfort, and strength continues to improve. Enjoying the current lower body split with one quad-focused day and one posterior-focused day each week.

Cardio:
No cardio yet, but planning a lunchtime walk (depending on feel and weather).

Nutrition & Supps:
Breakfast was 70g oats with 40g custard casein, pre-workout included pump juice and pre-workout powder, and intra-workout was just water. Post-workout included chex and protein. Also added creatine and ALCAR to my water, as I didn't have it pre or intra. All food currently sitting well and digestion is in a good place. Appetite isn’t huge but intake is consistent and processing well.

Recovery:
Slept 6 hours and 50 minutes last night. No joint issues or niggles in today’s session. Body is holding up well, and the shift to earlier training hasn’t presented any problems so far.

Current PEDs:
Test E: 437.5mg/week
EQ: 210mg/week
NPP: 210mg/week
GH: 5IU/day, 7 days/week

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
No issues to report.

Adjustments Made:
Early morning sessions today and tomorrow have required some tweaks to meal timing, but no change to training layout or targets.

Progress Updates:
No weight recorded this morning.

General Comments:
Momentum is strong. Energy is good despite the earlier start, and strength continues to trend in the right direction. Liking the direction things are heading and staying focused on getting the work done regardless of time of day.

Session:
Monday - Chest & Back

Strong session across the board with good energy and execution. Opened with flat barbell bench, working up to 120kg x 10 which moved smoothly- first time in a while moving that kind of load without it compromising the remainder of the workout. All sets for chest and back stayed controlled, with full reps logged and no drop-off in output. Pump was solid and grip improvements via Versa Grips made a noticeable difference to forearm and elbow comfort.

Cardio:
15-minute walk at lunch.

Nutrition & Supps:
Pre-workout meal of rice and tuna with full supplement stack (preworkout, Pump Juice, ALCAR, carb powder) delivered a strong pump and energy without bloating. Intra-workout included creatine and Pump Juice. Lunch was BBQ chicken and rice. Overall intake seemed well timed and effective in supporting performance.

Recovery:
6 hours 30 minutes sleep last night, but quality was high. Weekend was relatively low exertion, which helped set up a good recovery base for this session. Body feels fresh and joint health is in a good place- no complaints on elbow.

Current PEDs:
Same as previously mentioned.

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
No injections today. Last injection was left lat and is holding up well- rotation schedule is working with sites only being hit every 2.5 weeks. Versa Grips have helped alleviate forearm and elbow issues.

Adjustments Made:
Ongoing refinement of nutrition to find the balance between sufficient caloric intake and sustainable food volume without GI stress.

Progress Updates:
No morning weight recorded today or over the weekend. Visually, things are holding reasonably well despite the recent weight increase. Overall look is slightly softer, likely due to a combination of increased GH, total PED load, improved glycogen retention, and a consistent influx of carbs around training windows for performance.

General Comments:
Felt strong in the gym and mentally fresh. No strain from the weekend and recovery outlook remains solid. Bloodwork will be booked within the next two weeks to keep things tracked. Everything is in a good place heading into the middle of the week.

Session:
Tuesday - Lower Body (Quads / Hams / Calves)
Early session at a different gym this morning. Equipment differences aside, things moved well and intensity was there from the first set. Worked through leg press, hack squat, extensions, good mornings, curls and calves. Legs held up well, no tightness or joint aggravation. Mind-muscle connection was strong and performance held steady across the workout. Strength felt like it stepped up again this week.

Cardio:
None yet. Pushed for time today but hoping to get an evening walk in, weather permitting.

Nutrition & Supps:
Pre-workout was simple but effective- carb powder, pump blend, pre-workout and plenty of water. Not enjoyable to drink (was bit of a rough flavour mix), but digested well and fuelled the session without bloat. Post-workout was a couple of chilli-garlic chicken meals. Full day’s nutrition still in progress.
Pre: Carb powder, pre-workout, Pump Juice, ALCAR, creatine
Intra: Plenty of water + 2 scoops Pump Juice
Post: 2 serves Strength Meals Co Chilli Garlic Chicken Bowl
Hydration has been good so far.

Recovery:
Slept 6 hours 33 minutes. Not amazing quality, but after a slower weekend, motivation was strong this morning and session felt good. No joint issues or fatigue carried in from yesterday’s session.

Current PEDs:
Same as previously mentioned. Injected right delt this morning. No issues at the site.

Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned. Weekly pill container has made consistency simple.

Side Effects & Adjustments:
Patience is thinner, particularly in traffic. Not aggressive, but noticing irritability rising quicker than usual. Not spilling into the home side of things, but it's something to monitor. Bit of additional work stress/ pressure and possible hormonal shifts may be a factor. Will keep watch and reassess once bloodwork is back.

Adjustments Made:
None today. Bloodwork still planned in the next 1-2 weeks. Nutrition continues to be managed carefully to balance calories and digestive comfort.

Progress Updates:
Morning weight: 111.3kg.
Holding well visually, however look is slightly softer. Strength trending up with a noticeable jump this week so far.

General Comments:
Work pressure has been higher than usual, which may be contributing to mood swings and slightly broken sleep. That said, energy, training drive, and consistency are all in a good place. Keen to see how blood markers look soon so adjustments (if any) are evidence-based and I'm not going on gut feel.
