Age: 45
Weight: 96kg
Height: 175cm
Bodyfat: 28%
Background:
I am relatively new to weight training. I used to be quite active with martial arts in my younger years but let myself get into a very bad state both mentally and physically over the past decade.
3 years ago I completely tore my pec major tendon in an accident and had to have it re-attached. As part of rehab, I joined a local gym and hired a PT to help me with my recovery, which went well and ultimately led to finding a love of lifting.
2 years ago I began to take it seriously, quit drinking completely and started fixing my poor lifestyle. I began working out consistently and dropped from 113kg down to 93kg over the first 12-18 months, but now find myself stuck around the 96kg mark and 28% bodyfat. Diet is definitely my weak point, but it is drastically improved from where I started.
I began to research steroids, as you do, and discovered TRT. Did my bloods and found I was technically in range, but at the lower end at 350 free T, but was very symptomatic. I was accepted at a clinic and decided to give it a go to see if it would help with both mental and physical health.
I started TRT 7 weeks ago and this is my log to track my progress and likely a proper cycle in future once I get my body fat and other health markers in the right place.
Training:
PPLx2 over 9 days with cardio or rest days in between depending on how I feel. I occasionally throw in an arm day to have a feel good pump session.
(Push, Pull, Cardio\Rest, Legs, Push, Cardio\Rest, Pull, Legs, Cardio\Rest)
Supplements/Vitamins:
Omega 3 (Fish Oil) - 6000mg
Vit D - 5000IU
Vit K - 180mcg
Curcumin (Turmeric) - 15.8g
Citrus Bergamot - 1200mg
NAC - 600mg
ZMA Complex
Multi Vit
Diet:
Still working on discipline with macros. Weekdays are good, but weekends tend to get a bit wobbly and sabotage progress.
Current daily goal is 1850cal.
Cycle Stack:
Prescribed TRT - 150mg Test Cyp (3 x 50mg - M/W/F)
Goal:
Get body fat below 20% then reassess.
Get all health markers dialed in for a full cycle in future.
Deadlift - 200kg (160kg)
Squat - 150kg (130kg)
Overhead Press - 70kg (55kg)
Bench Press - 30kg Dumbbells (27.5kg) Re-attached pec major tendon. So modest goals here.
