@hypogaeum Good detailed start man.......Good evening all,
I have come here to continue my log, previously started over on Evo.
The cycle has been running since 13th of January, 2025 and will run for 12 weeks.
Previous intro post (with the cycle updated to what was decided on with the help of the Evo team):
Current Stats:
Age: 29
Height: 187cm
Weight: 110kg
Body Fat %: 14.9% (got a basic scan done the week before the cycle started, and will continue to go to the same place to keep results consistent)
Training Experience (in years): ~10
Training:
Currently training 5 days a week, and then try ensuring active rest on the weekend (walks/ bike rides, park, etc with the kids). Not long changed to a split of back, shoulders and calves, chest, legs, arms. I am doing 15-45 minutes of cardio 4-5 times a week, at the end of my weight sessions. Generally train in the afternoon, immediately after work.
Diet:
Daily caloric intake currently 2700/ day. Started tracking again, more from a total calories side of things, rather than the macros, but trying to keep the choices sensible and the amounts reasonable for a 40/40/20 split.
Typical Daily Eating:
Breakfast
Lunch
- Six egg whites, two whole eggs on a slice of wholegrain toast, or
- 200g of Greek yogurt, 30g of oats and a tsp of peanut butter, or

Pre-Workout Snack

- Grilled chicken with brown rice and roasted capsicum, with a low-calorie sauce, or
- Grilled chicken in a Thai style satay sauce, with coriander rice and parsley, or
- BBQ chicken with corn and sweet potato, brown rice and a low-calorie sauce
Post-Workout Snack
- Scoop of protein and a rice cake with honey or jam
Dinner (usually my biggest meal of the day as it's after my workout)
- Protein shake
Supplements:
- Grilled chicken with roasted or steamed vegetables and sweet potato mash, or
- Stir-fry with lean beef or chicken and plenty of veggies, with noodles, or
- Steak, mashed potato and steamed greens

Potassium: 5.2 mmol/L (reference range: 3.6–5.4 mmol/L)

Cycle Plan:
Cycle Goals: Recomp (lean muscle gain while dropping body fat)
Compounds Planned for Use:
Weeks 1-5

Test E (Bayer): 300mg/ week
Primo E (Beligas, purchased from @RhinoUGL): 315mg/ week
Growth Hormone (purchased from @Livewell2024): 4IU/ day
Aromasin (Beligas, purchased from @RhinoUGL): 12.5mg three times a week
Weeks 6-12
Anavar (Beligas, purchased from @RhinoUGL): 50mg pre-workout
Test E (Bayer): 450mg/ week
Primo E (Beligas, purchased from @RhinoUGL): 450mg/ week
Growth Hormone (purchased from @Livewell2024): 4IU/ day\
Aromasin (Beligas, purchased from @RhinoUGL): 12.5mg three times a week
Injection Frequency: Equal amounts, three times a week
Cycle Length: 12 weeks, then back to TRT (200mg/ week)
Additional Notes:
I started working out when I was 16 and have done a mix of powerlifting and bodybuilding up until about three years ago. Ended up taking nearly two years off with knee and hip issues. Body fat ballooned during the time where I wasn't working out, and I went from 112kg at 12% all the way up to 130kg. Had quite bad lethargy, low motivation, low sex drive, etc and a blood test ordered by the doctor showed my test levels were down the drain (free test was at 193 pmol/L).
The doctor was reluctant to go down the path of TRT, so I went to a TRT clinic and got a second opinion with a second blood test. Free test wasn’t any better on the second blood test (204 pmol/L) and they immediately gave the green light.
Since then, have dropped to 110kg and have a good 6 months of consistency around both training and diet. Originally had a target of 105kg but depending on how the next 9 weeks go my target weight after the cycle ends might end up a bit lower, but will be looking to continue dropping fat while (re)building muscle. Particularly keen to keep the accountability high, as well as get real-time advice and recommendations from the crew that are killing it on here.
Starting physique is as attached. Will get an updated pic tomorrow to show the changes over the last three weeks.

No weight gain at this stage. Hoping to drop a little more if anything, rather than go up in weight. Obviously, the aim is fat loss and lean tissue gained, with a net result of slightly below or roughly the same as where I am now. I got a basic body scan done at a local place which had me at 14.9% body fat. The plan is to go to the same place again and get reassessed at the end of the cycle. Hopefully the results and the visual changes confirm that the recomp worked. I've already seen a decrease in my stomach and waist (after nearly 4 weeks) so am optimisticI looked at your old log too from EVO just now bro now i get where you from
but you not making any weight gains are you?
also how about your foods?

Food is still at the 2700 calories/ day mark, but I've dropped non-training days to 2400 calories. More or less eating the same as planned, but will try remember to get some pictures happening.
