Hey AGW Fam!!
I am keen as mustard to get amongst these logs and the AGW community, to motivate myself and others, to remain accountable and share knowledge and experiences. Oh, and to get bigger and leaner of course
I’m extremely lucky and thankful for
@gearmaniac101 bringing me on as a sponsored logger. They’ve been awesome to deal with and very supportive, and I’ll continue to support them as they have me.
I’ve got the generic log intro below. As you may be able to tell I tend to ramble a bit so be thankful I made it as short as it is lol.
Age:
39 (soon to be 40 and I’m not ok with it)
Current Weight:
100kg
Height:
176cm
Body Fat %:
18% (roughly, will update with scans throughout the log)
Training Experience:
13 years (somewhat consistently)
Cycle Stack:
Im currently dieting down so that my body fat % is lower when I commence my first 12 week cycle. Ultimately I’m aiming for at least 15% BF before I start my planned cycle on Mon 17th Feb. My plans for cycle are as follows:
12 Week Cycle:
• 12 weeks - 400mg Testosterone Enanthate by Quintrex Pharmaceuticals, Injected twice a week, Mon & Thu
• 12 weeks - 200mg Masterone Enanthate by Quintrex Pharmaceuticals, same frequency as Test (toying with the idea of increasing to 400mg for last 6 weeks)
• First 6 weeks - 50mg Anavar every day
AI & PCT :
• Arimidex - Will have on hand and use if required.
• Defend - Organ + Liver Support for entire duration of cycle
Post cycle I will drop back down to current cruise dose of Test E 250mg/wk
All gear to be used supplied by
@gearmaniac101
Supplements Used:
• Cheap Protein from Chemist Warehouse (I try to rely more on whole foods for protein intake predominately)
• Pump Juice by Transparent Supplements
• Micronised Creatine (not brand specific)
• Cycle Support as stated above
Diet Overview:
Ultimately my goal is to get shredded AF and see what’s going on underneath. This will then give me the next starting point to reverse diet and gradually increase calories again.
I’m currently running at a slight calorie deficit of around 500cals. Daily calorie intake will sit around the 2600cals mark, with target for daily macros being as follows:
• Protein 200g (800cals)
• Carbs 300g (1200cals)
• Fats 70g (630cals)
Diet will consist predominantly of whole foods, however I do use protein powders in there for convenience due to work etc.
I eat the same thing, every day, day in, day out. It’s boring and repetitive, but it’s easy to maintain, prepare, is cost effective (which is a key component to me) and easy to manipulate down the track should I need to adjust macros.
I prepare my evening meals a week in advance and put in the freezer to be heated when required. Preparation is key, plus this allows me to still help in cooking meals for the family and having my own ready to roll.
I won’t bore you with the details now, but I will share the individual meals/macros throughout my posts moving forward.
Ultimately, I aim to keep calories/food intake as high as possible (reduces risk of falling off the wagon), and utilise early morning fasted cardio before work to aid in fat loss.
Training Schedule:
My training is typically 4-5 days per week. Sometimes work/family/life get in the way but you just work around it as best as possible.
Currently I am using a Push/Pull/Leg split. This has allowed me to increase frequency yet still allow enough recovery time between sessions.
Workouts consistent of mainly compound lifts, and I train with as much intensity as possible in every session. Lately, sessions have looked like this:
• 2-3 exercises per muscle group (I tend to hit legs a little more)
• 2-3 WORKING sets per exercise, with focus on form and time under tension
• 4-8 reps, either with 1 x RIR or to failure
• Generally 2mins rest between sets
• 10min LISS cardio to finish off
I’d always been a bro split, 10-12 rep kinda guy but recently decided to try something different and so far, so good!
Health Status
No medical concerns at all. Recent bloodwork came back pretty good.
Maybe a little cooked from younger me activities but otherwise I’m happy and healthy both mentally and physically.
