Hey dont wanna be too long winded here Im mostly writing this for myself to keep myself accountable, I'm just finishing a 4 month cut since my last growing phase I got too fat back then so I decided to lean down, now I'm sitting at around 10% bf looking to put on some real size, I'm only 20 years old so I think this is a very good time to grow. To start I'm only going to use 200 Test 200 eq which is what ive found to be good for my aromatase genetics. I will only be bumping these up by 100-100 once progress stalls, overall I plan this cycle to be around or even a bit over 6 months long.

Currently on:
150 mg test E split twice weekly (not optimal I know but its more convenient and I just cant be bothered when Im cruising.
(did use a bit of anavar and clen for a month but not currently just maintaining)

Rough outline of the cycle (likely to change)

first 2 months: 200 test + 200 eq

month 3-4: 300 test + 300 eq

month 4 onwards add in a 3rd anabolic perhaps a 19nor

last 4 weeks: anadrol blast to end the cycle

also have about 300 ius of gh which I know isnt a lot but Im taking suggestions on how to best use it. I was thinking 6 ius a day last 2 months

diet so far: Low fat high protein carb cycling, some days almost zero carbs

training: upper rest lower repeat high intensity (looking to change this up)

Plans for the offseason:

Eat pretty much the same whole foods every day in varying quantities all tracked through cronometer hitting all micronutrient goals.

example macros:
180 g protein
400 carbs
40 g fats

titrated up and on rest days carbs are kept as low as possible

training split Im looking to try:

Upper lower rest push pull legs rest (5 days a week)
focusing on bringing up legs and improving overall mass on my upperbody

No orals during the offseason!!!!!!!!!

daily fasted cardio whenever possible

10 min walk after every meal whenever possible

Thank you for following along I will post more soon

Hey bro,good to see another young guy documenting everything properly. I got you brother and understand you since I'm 21 💪
The structure of the log is solid and I like that you already have the diet,training and progression mapped out instead of just focusing on the compounds.

One thing I’d definitely keep an eye on is how you handle the long cycle and especially the idea of adding a 19nor later, high risk high rweard so make your choice, the Test + EQ is already doing the job but i'll let you choose your path.

Keep the updates coming bro,interested to see how the grow phase goes 🦍🔥

Thanksk a lot bro, yeah you did kind of inspire me actually with your log, it does help to keep me accountable even if not a lot a people read this.

yes I am aware of the risks of 19nors... eager to experiment tho, starting the test and eq injections on september 1st just symbolically signaling a new phase lol

Any suggestions regarding my training? thats where I am a little bit unsure
 
Promised myself I will be completely honest with everything starting this cycle so:
Today I overate a little bit today more than my rebound requires but it was all whole foods; veggie mix rotisserie chicken air fryer sweet potato fries etc so I dont feel bad. Just gotta stick to my plan starting tomorrow

Also pinned 1 ml test e 1 ml eq in my ass as a frontload to the cycle, new spli will be implemented tomorrow and will also be going the doctor for my drivers license procedure and gonna ask for bloodwork while im there, they only do basic shit here like creatinine liver enzymes and total cholesterol but thats something, if I want to I can just go to a private lab
