8 week logging el'compa

[seventies voodoojuice]

I'm middle age tradie,been training on and off for over 25 years,ran every ped cycle you could think of.i like to stick to the basics these days,test,deca,dbol or Anavar,classic bulk,test tren Anavar,test EQ.only 2 compound cycles mainly with an oral occasionally.
190lbs,5.7.
Just a gym bro,never had ambition to compete,life too busy,diet is not great but suffice.
I train only free weights, medium weight compound lifts,high rep,medium to light weight isolation movements.i much prefer the golden era physiques and look over the shredded/peeled to the bone look,I also feel that with some water and or fluff weight that injuries and far less likely at my age.
So onwards and upwards for this cycle,will run test e at 500mg split 2 pins weekly,NPP at 400mg weekly pin EOD,that's the whack.nothing fancy here man.

Cheers bro,yeah I certainly know what works best for me,tried every compound at one stage or another ,though I still throw some stupid compound combos and doses occasionally.always end up reverting back to the basics.

The golden era look is a good mindset too. Strong, full and sustainable!

Quick one though, how are you running the nutrition alongside that cycle? Are you just eating by feel or do you roughly keep protein and calories around a certain level to support the test/NPP setup?

Good to have an OG here on the forum. Best of luck @seventies voodoojuice

I don't count calories and so on.i just eat bro,plenty of protein over course of my meal n snacks etc.making sure I get red meat few days a week,chicken a few and tuna with carbs,noodles etc.im lucky I'm active af and don't hold bf much,pretty much can eat whatever and it all burns off.ive done this so many years and times I know what my body needs to maintain and what needs to grow,which at my age,growing is hard work,lean tissue that is.but holding it,well most of it, after each cycle is rather easy.
I will be swapping the NPP out for deca very soon.have an awesome weekend bro

Well it does sound like you’ve got your nutrition dialled in from years of doing it. Switching NPP to Deca makes sense too if you're planning to run it longer, I think most prefer the longer ester for that. Appreciate the insight

Fair enough, that’s real life I guess. You’re still hitting the main thing which is protein, so you’re not as off track as you think. Maybe cutting back the junk snacks or prepping something simple when you can. Doesn’t need to be perfect.
