Good to see another great log here!

Got my labs back. Not everything is in yet, but my test levels came back at 1500+. Hematocrit is up a bit, but I'm making adjustments with extra cardio and increased water intake.

Definitely confirms that the 250mg Test E from KGear is doing its job. I'm 4 weeks in, running testosterone only. Currently around 185 lbs and eating about 2,600 calories a day.

Just enjoying the process so far. I'll get some updated pictures tomorrow. Feeling great overall—no real side effects other than a little acne.

Feel free to comment or share your thoughts.

6/11 – No major updates, just staying consistent. Trained delts and traps today, and added some leg work as well. Planning for 3 rest days (Friday–Sunday) focused on recovery and work.



I may add an extra 20 minutes on the elliptical if energy levels are good, since I recently incorporated that on top of my gym sessions and 20 minutes on the StairMaster.



Weight is holding about the same, but I'm leaning out and starting to notice more back definition. Running reta at 1 mg on Thursdays and Sundays, which seems to help keep dopamine levels from dropping. Test is 200 mg EOD, with an additional 100 mg on off days.

Appreciate it. I been trying to find workouts this last month. Still haven't found something that really makes the sore. My ham and hip get hella sore. I'm going to try weighted lunges. Also been tanning outside and that helps a lot lol

Careful what you wish for, man. A few hard sets of walking lunges and you'll be sore enough lol

6/12 rest day til sun focusing water and trying to add the extra cardio along with sleep. Pretty sore doms will probably hit tomorrow. Will probably do my b-12 tonight did my 200 kgear test e. Just trying to be patient

6/13 Update



Weight is still trending up while keeping macros the same added cardio. Visually, I can see muscle being added as well. I'll try to get some decent progress pictures this week for a better comparison.



I added a baby aspirin before bed, and it seems to have helped quite a bit. Currently doing 20 minutes of elliptical cardio and plan to increase that to 30 minutes. I'll continue with the added cardio until I feel ready to stop cutting.



Overall, my mood has been great. I just finished my first vial of KGear 250 Test E. I've really enjoyed this test cycle so far. At the same time, I've been educating myself on future cycles. A common recommendation I've seen is to run a lower testosterone dose (around 300–500 mg) and add a second compound for strong results.



I haven't decided what I would run yet, and I'm not in any rush. For now, I'm continuing my research, saving information for later, and focusing on enjoying the current cycle. Time will tell.

*6/14 – Shot day.** Love my Kgear pin . Some people hate it, but I love it—it makes me feel alive.
Nothing new to report since yesterday was a rest day. I've been staying consistent with the extra cardio on top of my gym sessions and rest days, it's definitely paying off.
The scale is up about 10 lbs over the last week, though some of that is definitely water weight. Visually, I'm noticing more muscle and better tone, so the cycle is clearly doing its thing.
Two more months to go—just need to stay patient and keep putting in the work.

6/15 Leg Day: Feeling a little discouraged about the progress of the cut, but energy is still good and no side effects to report. Tried belt squats today and they felt fantastic—definitely a movement I'll keep in the rotation. Didn't have time to get cardio in after lifting, but I'll make up for it later with some time on the elliptical. Planning to get outside for a bit and catch some sun as well.

6/16 – Got a little DOMS in my quads. I’ll know for sure tomorrow, but I’m excited because that’s the last muscle group I really need to bring up.

The cut is slowly starting to show with the added cardio. I’m trying to stay patient, stick to the diet and training, and just give it time.

One thing I’m happy about is that my arms are still 16", the same size they were when I started 14 months ago at 235 lbs, and I’m now down to 187 lbs.

Overall, everything is going well. I’m still undecided on whether to keep cruising on my current reta dose or bump it up to 2 mg E3D instead of 1 mg. If I do, I’ll need to buy more. I’ve been shopping around, and the best price I’ve found so far is $160 for 50mg

**7/17:** Back and biceps today. I’m definitely seeing good bicep development, which is encouraging since it’s been a weak point for me. I’m still keeping up with the extra cardio and am happy with my overall progress.



I’m planning to add belt squats on Mondays leg day along with Thursday my delt and trap work. My traps aren’t quite as developed as they were before, but I’m currently cutting and working around a slight strain, so I’m playing it safe.



The focus remains the same: staying patient, trusting the diet and training, and letting time do its work.

*5/18 – Feeling great. Had an awesome gym session today. Picked up some Reta while it was on sale, and I’m thinking about increasing to 2 mg E3D. Trained delts and traps. The muscle strain seems to be pretty much gone, so next Thursday I’ll start pushing things a little harder. I’m also going to buy that belt squat attachment—I love it. Finally starting to see the progress. About 6 weeks left on 700 mg test. Big shout out to kgear started 2nd vial and definitely prefer E over C

 

[slyosniper]

*6/19 (Fri–Sun):** Three extended rest days, but I added some cardio after work—at least 20 minutes on the elliptical each day. I'm happy overall with the progress I've made. The last area I'm focusing on is my stomach, but that's always the final place to lean out, and it has already gone down significantly. Changed reta to **2 mg every 3 days**. Over the next few days, I'll focus on recovery, hydration, and doing some research while at work.

6/22 – Leg Day

Definitely starting to see the cut come through now that I'm about 6 weeks in. Planning to get a full set of labs done sometime next month.

Currently running 750 mg test/week, pinned at 250 mg EOD. No side effects so far, and I bumped reta up to 2 mg every 3 days. I also added cardio on top of my regular training, and it's definitely making a difference.

Even with my diet staying essentially the same, my weight has gone from 185 lbs to 195 lbs. The KGear Test E has been treating me well, although I'm almost finished with my second vial.

Calories are sitting around 2,600 per day, sometimes a little lower on workout days. I can tell that beyond the extra water retention, I'm definitely leaning out and adding muscle—especially noticeable in my back.
