Doing a fantastic job
Awesome job on this log man. I really like the format.
I love high rep endurance training the spent feeling and the grind are super addictive for me.
great update here keep it up broHappy weekend guys, meals are getting easier, still trying to branch out and away from what's so convenient.
The Drop set workouts have been tough but enjoyable. It is not clear to me how to add in the burnouts properly.
Would I perform normal heavy workouts with 3-5 sets then throw in one 50 rep set of lighter weight? If so do I do this on every exercise or just per major muscle group? I want to keep going, I am motivated but I lack the understanding of how to properly structure my workouts. Todays legs actually left me feeling a bit tired whereas I normally feel okay. Walking lunges kicked my butt big time and I was actually shaking from lactic acid after doing 50 squats with a 2 minute break of doing 15 heavier squats. As usual thank you for all the help and guidance.
Quick question: My brother friend is pretty heavy into lifting and i told him how I'm running Deca and loving it, he said he ahs a product I may want to consider , he drove home and came back over with a new in the box bottle of Pharma mix 4, it contains Test with npp and deca. What sort of product is this if the cycle length is at 8 weeks? Deca kicked in for me about week 6. I was curious and currently just holding onto this for possible use down the road.
Here are my meals and weights for the past two days.

Here is my Sunday (off day) through Today, pretty smooth sailing, been feeling good, got the reps dialed in, high rep burn out sets picked, now all I need to do is keep going along, the great thing is every workout is fun, even when I have a less than desirable performance. Flat Bench I feel like I have hit a wall but will try to push through the same weight Thursday, if that's an issue, would Larsen press movements, working with heavier dumbbells' be a answer to helping me move past this lull I am in, upper chest I can still crank out reps. Or what about heavier negatives to failure and drop them on the spotter arms? Or do I drop the weight a bit and go for some higher sets like 10-12 range with less weight on flat bench?
Here are the meals
Weights are all up to date as well:

Remember that every individual's fitness journey is unique. What works best for one person may not work for another, so it's important to find a routine that suits your preferences and goals.
other items in terms of ancilaries?
Thank you I have about 7 weeks left on the deca cycle.
50 x 125 is ouch!
I thought I was all that until I hit 40, then the pain kicked in and I was forcing through each rep, the shaking feeling and heavy breathing after was intense.
APPROVED LOG
Seven weeks left on Deca is an eternity
keep the proviron going with deca
bros want to see you push hard into next few weeks
Yes, I am staying on trt, I have to not enough natural test production. I just meant after the next 7 weeks I will go to try only. Will you guys help me with a cutting program?
I am pushing hard and when weak on the bench I will use the slingshot to force through reps. I have heard differing takes on increasing deca from 200 to 300 deca and only a small increase of 60mg of test. Apart form that I’m grinding 6 days a week with good form and as much weight as I can move with good form.
Special plans this weekend leg day on Saturday my favorite!!! And a rest day followed with some youth soccer.
When should I plan to increase weights or hold the weight?
I am feeling strong overall but flat bench isn’t where it was a few weeks back.
Thanks guys

300Deca/ 360 Test, like that?
Daily, 25mg am and 25mg pm, already ordered more, best to have what I will need on hand now and not later.
Here is my midweek update of weights and meals.
I know I was holding off on weights for a couple more weeks as instructed, shall I do a 7-10% weight increase yet?
If you guys can just keep me straight on my weight increase I will grind with 3-5 sets and 6-8 reps with exception for my one body part high rep blow outs. Today I hit all 50 reps non stop @125lbs, is it okay if I try a little bit more weight with 50 reps or best I leave it alone, my chest has veins and some striations after that crazy pump, I am so addicted to this.

Very nice workout and solid work
@man05 thats solid i like you pushe dit
Doing a killer job
Sorry for the late update, legs were sore, I was tired and I sat through multiple soccer games, came home fed the family and myself and crashed, glad today is a rest day.
Here are meals the past few days:
Weights: Past few days have felt pretty good with a .07 weight increase, should I be bumping weight once a month or more often?
Burnout Squats were brutal after the weight increase, I really like the anaerobic feeling I get from them.
Thanks for all the help guys, I will update Tuesday night, wish me luck for Mondays chest routine.

you are a good man I respect family men
not a bad way to spend the weekend nice workout than a rest
bro hit the chest monday hard. think of BM on that last rep!
My youngest is in her second year playing soccer, she is ten and on the top travel team slated for ECNL soccer in another year. She had a really nice goal from about 18 yds out upper corner.
Here is todays update.
Have any of you ever smelled a smell like a chemical or odor when you are really pushing a rep hard, it comes in my nose then goes away but leaves me wanting to smell it more, is this deca in my system or even test? I blew my chest up on flat bench, I had to use a slingshot for last three reps on last set and was destroyed, the 125lb high rep set I swear my chest was gogin to rip apart, so the next thing I do after chest is run inside rip off my shirt and check out the pump, AWESOME! looks way better the next day as its gets tight, this is so addictive.

As to future weight increases should I push every 4 weeks or so for a .07 increase?

good update bro
Here is my midweek update of meals and weights. I could tell I was not as strong on my second chest split given Mondays effort, but I got it completed, killer chest pump on the high rep set of 50 on flat bench, that was cool but now I am kinda swollen looking.
Here are my meals:
And todays second split of chest and prior days legs:
I have the day off tomorrow so I am hopeful I can slow my workout down a bit and savor it more, pull sessions are fun and challenging.

@man05 you should take time off on off day no training rest
Do you mean day off today or on my regular off day?
APPROVED LOG
nice chest pump, keep it up
once you get older you will have to take time off whether you want to or not
bro i will take time off when i'm dead
This what I'd do when resting for a competition
nice update
A test day is always needed. It’s good to get some light cardio in low you mentio.
Weekend is here, time for a early morning walk tomorrow and see if I can sit still enough to not do anything strenuous.
I am going to stay on track to keep increasing every 3 weeks the rest of this cycle, I do have some doubt how my body will respond once the nandrolone is gone, guessing my weights gonna drop some and recovery may take a bit longer but that's okay, body needs a rest.
Here are the meals for the past few days:
Weights have felt pretty good as well, second chest split I definitely am not as strong as the first at least on flat bench.
Hope you guys all have a fantastic weekend with whatever you are doing/ I appreciate each one your comments and feedback, thank you.

@man05 another good training day for you and you have a great weekend too bro
Love these logs!!
Awesome detail and dedication for the log. I love seeing that 
Here's the first of this weeks update, tried a new cut of meat call flap steak, it connects to the flank steak, its a juicier, more fat and a really tender chew to it, great with a dry rub grilled.
Here are my meals:
The past two days of weights, currently on week 2 of a .07 increase, will go for another increase in a week, trying to finish strong.
Should i plan to bump up deltoids weights or leave alone?
I have some questions about cutting like diet, weights and staying solely on TRT of 260MG test c or adding in anavar or another product like Euro Gold cutting mix. Once I stop Deca I just drop straight down to 260mg test and is that it, from what I can tell that should be enough test to help me maintain if I do my part with diet and weights, I dont think I will be able to maintain the heavy weights I am working with currently and I dont think my joints will feel as nice as they currently do. I want to point out that the past 4 weeks of doing burnout sets has begun to give me some abdominal definition so i am now adding in some ab work, nothing crazy and I am starting to get cut on my arms, I look totally different which is amazing given the hard work and diet that is required to achieve these result of course the deca helps me but the discipline I am finding is where the treasure is at. I digress, would my questions bet be posted on this thread or another thread for specifics? You guys have definitely helped me get to where I am at, and I know that I definitely ant to keep working hard during my recovery from the nandroline and moving forward on a next cycle. Thank you guys so, so ,so much, this has been hard work and enjoyable.

@man05 i wouldnt add a cutting mix but how about adding some winstrol 30mgs/day? you can add the winstrol with some npp
50mgs winstrol with 100mgs npp and 25mgs proviron
260mg TRT seems high
That’s my prescribed dose from the doctor. I’ll send a pic of the script later today.
200 had me about 890-915ng/ml test that was doing subdermal when I started. I switched doctors and he advised to do twice per week iM and I’ve been around 1100 since. This deca cycle I’ve been on 300 roughly per week so not super elevated.
I turned 50 two weeks ago, prior to trt that I started in April 2023 test was 280-303 max. I had hydrostatic shock damage my right testicle so bad I nearly had to have it removed. Took my wife and I 4 years to have our first child.

I just want to make sure I have everything on hand when I stop deca in a month or so. I have enough test c to stick to trt, I have npp on hand, some bar I traded for that’s Pharmaqo. I can get some Winstrol if that’s a good option. I wasn’t sure about the euro cutting with test p, mast p and Tren a. I have read that these clear quickly should any issues arise versus Tren e. I’m guessing I will have some serious trt cruising time before I can co wider anything else after this cycle. Recovery is in order as I can imagine. If I bust ass and eat well can I maintain some of my gains?
I’m sure I’ll have more questions.
I have a full blood panel early November from my GP and the TRT doc wants a copy so I’ll post those on this thread as well.
Thanks guys

Bro hook me up with your doctor because I never heard of trt that high
okay thanks for the update. Your levels at 200 mg seems really high already
you sure you want to keep pushing it like that?
