Figure its time for a proper update , a bit of a long one though,
The Update:
I stayed at 400mg and cleaned up my diet as Synyster recommend and cut out a lot of carbs most my bloat went away, finished up my blast with less than optimal results from a bad start do to getting sick for a few weeks right when it was getting into the blast properly ( week 5-8), did have an increase in strength compared to my TRT but also gained a solid 30 pounds over the course of 5 months due to getting sick , poor eating and a trip out of country, luckily not all of it was fat and I put on size and strength, its just I turned a cut, into a bulk.
Bringing me to my next part of my update, I am gonna be out of country ( in the US) for 6 months soon, talked to a doctor down there and was honest with the fact I was just finishing a blast. He offered to keep me at 400mg test a week. So I have a chance to really commit properly this time and am being monitored by a doctor.
So my new doc has me on 400mg test a week, 120mg deca ( he recommends it to all his patients but no more that 120mg a week) and after talking for a while and asking about what else they can prescribe in US, he mentioned commonly used are anavar and winstrol. I ended up adding in a very low dose of injectable winny. 50mg/ week. Injected 2 -3x a week. A very low dose that my doctor thinks I can run as long as my blood work comes back okay. I am taking NAC and milk thistle daily to support my liver, as per his recommendation. I could have went with 50mg a day oral but I thought doing a low dose injectable was a safer and smarter route and a lot cheaper lol
Doing bloods in 10 weeks to see where I am at, my doctor also gave me an adex script and said its up to me if i take, he personally uses it but only when needed. I decided to try it and noticed no difference, none at all, at 1mg split into 0.5mg two times a week. I decided to stay on it and see where my bloods put me. I aromitize a lot and gaining weight wouldn't have helped but for some reason I don't feel any high e2 symptoms other than acne and cutting carbs lower took away the bloating i was getting. And even on an AI I notice no change or crashed E2 symptoms. If it wasn't pharma I would have guessed the AI was fake lol
The downsides are its much more expensive to go through a script compared to UGL but with travelling I have no choice, gotta do things legit. I also like I am being monitored by a doctor since I have little experience with anything beyond TRT. The other downside is injectible winny should be classified as torture lol. Strong PIP and leaves a lump for a week after every injection. So for that reason once I finish what I bought I am dropping it.
I am in Canada for a few months before going back to US so I am gonna use UGL while in Canada to save my script for travelling. I have one vial of Jet labs Test i will use up and try, as well as do blood work on, and I recently ordered some Orion test just to cover me until I'm about to travel again and then back to pharma. I also decided to spare my ass the pain of injectible winny until I am back in the US, and while in Canada am just gonna take a low dose of Orion oral winny. Only 25mg a day. So basically just following my doctors protocol using UGL to save $$ while in Canada and changing out the injectable winny for oral in Canada also.
On that note both UGL i order from I had good experience with reps, especially Orion! Very friendly and helpful rep ! Ill be starting Orion as soon as it arrives for the next few weeks before switching to jets testosterone that I had laying around, I'll do my bloods to see how everything is , and then head to US.
The new plan:
So this time I am cutting, but my goal isn't 190-200lbs like originally was but instead 220lbs, although my failed first cut turned into a bulk, I probably over exaggerated by calling it a failure. I came back from vacation sitting at 249lbs but not to much of a higher body fat % compared to when I was 220 but still much higher than I would like to be. Honestly cutting back to 220 I think would leave me with a physique ill be happy with. Its been 5 weeks since I started my new and improved cut, and got down to 242lbs before thanksgiving which lead to me going back up a few pounds but currently sitting at 244lbs. so 5lbs down in 5 weeks! My weight hasn't moved much the last week (like 0.6lbs) but people I know say I am looking leaner and more muscular, even got some compliments on my arms ! Which is nice to hear after a rough start. My goal is 230lbs before I am in the US (14lbs in 11 weeks) and then continue down there to 220lbs and do kind of a recomp down there.
My workout split is the same but I will be busy in the US so will have to drop my work outs to 3-4 a week compared to 5-6 a week I will do here, on the bright side where I will be is super nice for walking so I will add in 30 minutes of cardio a day just for my heart health when down there.
My calories: I am eating 2000 calories a day and 200g of protein. The rest is mostly fat and a few carbs.
Here is yesterdays diet for example :
Greek yogurt 100cal -17g protein
Protein powder mixed in 160cal - 22g protein
Protein powder drink in water - 120 cal - 24 g protein
Greek Yogurt again 100-17
Protein powder mixed in again 160 -22
250 gram chicken breast with some seasoning 413cal and 78g protein
1 cup (before cooked) white rice - 640 calories 12g protein
One soft ginger cookie - 120 calories as a treat lol
just under 2000 calories and 200g of protein
I should have done a little less carbs and a little more fat but its just one days example. I usually don;t have greek yogurt twice a day it was just because it was expiring lol.
Strength has also been increasing still. For example the other day maxed out my bench at 280lbs for 1 and repping 225 for 10 for multiple sets, which is nothing compared to most the guys here but its nice to see progress especially when cutting and im getting closer to that 315 mark where I finally will feel like I'm a decent lifter lol
So far everything is going well ! I have no complaints or really any questions, happy I have a doctor to monitor me, and figured I would post an update to track my own progress, and keep myself motivate and give myself a reason to not repeat my last mistakes! More of an update for myself.
I should also say I don't plan to stay on these dosages forever even if doctor prescribed and monitored, when I am back in Canada I will cut back to 200mg, even if my blood work is all good and I am not taking any crazy amounts, I would rather not take huge risks. That being said my doctor said he has guys run the exact same dosages year around with no issues, and he take nearly the same amounts himself.
And finally , I bought a much better blood pressure machine and stay around 120/70. So no issues there. The high readings previously seem to have just been due to using a cheap machine.
Should be my last update for the next 8ish months unless my bloods come back off and then ill fill in all my progress.
