What’s up AM. Decided to run a log here to hopefully help some people out as well as document my progress and give myself reference points.
I’m 29 at the moment, 5’9 and weighed 151 lbs this morning. I would say 21-22 was when I was in the best shape of my life and lived for fitness, however I tore a tendon in my wrist that kept me out of the gym for quite some time and after that I could never find my groove and keep it together, months of gym then no gym, poor eating etc etc. Depression and anxiety kicked my ass on the regular. Decided in December to lose weight and got my ass back in the gym for good. I was 186 at the time. Over the past 6 months I’ve finally gotten a firm grasp on my mental health and am confident for the first time that it will stay that way. Sorry for the history there I just think it will give a lot of things context as the log goes along.
My biggest goal right now is to gain muscle and avoid gaining fat. I’m pretty far from my college strength but am working towards it. I am also currently leaner than I have ever been in my life. Ended a 10 day water fast on June 6th at 143 pounds and have been bulking since.
Diet is primarily Keto/OMAD though I’ve been tossing around the idea of extending my eating window as it is pretty hard now that I’m bulking to fit enough calories into my window. I train in the evenings, and while I do typically consume 10g BCAAs before training I do not eat until I leave the gym. My window here is usually roughly 2 hours.
As far as training goes, I follow a pretty standard 4 day split. I only take rest days when I feel like I truly need them or my social life demands it. Each body part is usually getting hit close to 1.5 days a week on average. Aside from walking a lot at my job I do neglect cardio, though I have been considering adding it to my routine for health purposes.
As for supplements, I just started Apex Alchemy Epoch yesterday and am looking forward to seeing how it treats me. I will be running this 12 pumps AM 12 pumps PM. Aside from that my staples have been:
Agmatine - morning as a noot and preworkout 1.2g
Creatine monohydrate - 10g
TMG - preworkout 3g
Xtend Elite - preworkout
GMS - preworkout aside from leg days 2-3g
Joint stack (Flexatril, Boswellin, Cissus XT, UC-II)
Collagen - type 1&3 11g
Curcumin
Fish Oil
PES trumulti - days I feel like my diet is lacking
KSM 66 - days I don’t take trumulti
Vitamin D3 - high dose, not daily
Vitamin K2 - when I take high dose D3
Ralox - running this to try to reverse pubertal gyno and am logging that separately https://anabolicminds.com/community/threads/raw-dog-ralox-gyno-reduction-log.311924/
