I love the way you are going about this. I completely agree with you on your approach to gear use and training. Anyone can grow on large doses. Its what happens when your off that matter the most. If your still gaining strength then just keep doing what your doing and the blast cycle will be amazing. I am a firm believer in using the smallest dose possible for gains. Most people lose half their gains when they come off. I am lucky to keep all the gains and continue to gain when I come off. Its because I use low doses. Your the same and I really cant wait to see how you do in the following years ahead. I wish you would post up workouts with poundages so we can see your progress though.

Thanks for your comment. I will definitely start posting some workouts. I can even compare workouts from different weeks so that you can see the progression. Thanks for the content idea.

The first workout is from when I was on one of my heaviest cycles earlier this year. The 2nd workout is the same workout now while on trt. You can see that in less than 7 months I have increased load on every exercise. These may not be astounding jumps but if you can handle heavier loads without changing your rep range or execution of those reps there is no way you aren’t gaining muscle. Then when you turn these numbers into volume numbers it stands out more.

Abductor - 450 lbs more total volume
Hamstrings - 1,060 lbs more total volume
Quads - 4,440 lbs more total volume (including added exercise)
Glutes - 450 lbs more total volume

Life has definitely been more about fitting bodybuilding into my life rather than revolving my life around bodybuilding. I know this is why most successful bodybuilders have to make that choice early on to devote everything to the pursuit of a pro card. My life didn’t turn that way because I knew I had other goals outside of gym to achieve as well. Even through all of that I’m still going to take another shot. Right now, the coach and I have figured out a possible plan for a new blast cycle that could last 20-24 weeks as long as blood work isn’t outrageous halfway through. I’ll be reaching out to PSL to see if we can keep the log going a bit longer. I’ve gotten great results with the products and really can’t say enough good things about them.

My current goals right now are to drop another 2-4 lbs before we look to bulk up and add some more muscle. I tighten up the nutrition and get back in a good groove for my morning cardio. This will be difficult with a child in school as she brings home germs quite often but that’s part of life so it will be interesting to see how the rest of 2024 finishes out. Hopefully I bring in the new year geared up and adding weight.

Things have been pretty consistent the last 2 weeks. It’s always difficult to try to stay on schedule with a family and bodybuilding. Last week was a deload so while I don’t look forward to it, it has been beneficial in my continued progress into my later 30’s. This is the first week into the next cycle of training. So, there is only 1 working set and some exercises moved up in weight and some stayed consistent. The plan is to add some more reps to those exercises where the load stayed the same.

Currently I am running 300 mg test cyp & 50 mg masteron weekly. I lowered my masteron dosage as I’m on my last bottle and I’m still in discussions with PSL to keep the log going.

My weight is currently in the low 230s with the goal being to drop another 2 lbs. or so. Cardio is 3-4 times a week for 30 mins in the morning, pretty basic. It's more about getting to sleep on time so I can actually wake up and drag my ass out of bed, get to the gym and back before it's time to wake my daughter up for school. Pretty happy with the current look as I know I could be stricter on my nutrition which would tighten things up even more. I am ready to start bulking though. The last cycle was great, and I can really see the increased size from this year's effort and I’m looking forward to carrying that into next year and finishing 2024 with the scale going up with new mass.

Last night was one of those times where I was proud I made myself go to the gym. My check engine light came on early in the morning so after getting the code read i have a good idea of what most likely will need to be replaced. I think everyone can agree car repairs never happen at a good time but that's life. I had a little voice in my head telling me to stay home and I wasn't feeling very motivated. However I also knew that taking the night off wouldn't help me toward my goals and I'd just spend more time in a negative head space. I got my ass up and got to the gym. I had a good workout and was proud of myself. I'm learning how to control my reactions to things I can't control while also progressing forward after obstacles.
