MLX – Combat Athlete Cycle.

So. No cruise? Just a pct? How long do you want to stay away from steroids?

Cycle Update – 2 Weeks Off

I was on cycle for 14 weeks and have now been off for 2 weeks. Morning erections are still present, indicating that androgen signaling has not fully dropped yet. While on cycle, recovery was extremely good with high training frequency and minimal soreness. Since coming off, recovery feels natty-level or slightly worse, with muscle soreness lasting longer, even though sleep quality is good. Strength and body weight are currently unchanged.


Since being off cycle, I am continuing 500 mg L-carnitine intramuscular daily and 5 IU HGH before sleep. In 5–7 days I will start PCT with enclomiphene and tamoxifen, and I am planning to stay off cycle until at least summer or autumn. The next blood work is scheduled for February and will be uploaded for review.

Congrats on keeping the log updated for so long. First cycles are usually suboptimal (looking back), but thats normal, because we need to learn how to manage hormones, supplements and other related variables with PEDs in the play. Reading over the log, I'd say you somewhat overreacted sometimes and atleast for the first half of the cycle really tried hard to keep everything perfect. The only thing I'd actually change would be to leave HCG in until all test gets cleared from the system and then starting PCT (and simultaneously stopping HCG). Otherwise, good logkeeping and I hope you enjoyed it and made as much progress as you could. Hope to see you continue on this path.

Not gonna lie, I kinda panicked about E2 at first because I thought my nipples were getting puffy
Turned out it was just classic test bloat — I was holding around 7 kg of water, which made everything look worse than it actually was.
Since our labs don’t really use ultra-sensitive LC-MS assays, I assumed my E2 was way higher than it probably was and ended up crashing it.
Lesson learned though — once I corrected it, everything ran smooth. Definitely smarter about it going forward.

PCT Update – (PCT Day 19)


Strength is still slowly increasing and feels like normal, natural-style progress. The difference compared to being on cycle is clearly noticeable, but overall training performance remains solid and consistent.

Recovery is acceptable for being off cycle. Mood is very good and stable, and sleep quality remains strong. Joint comfort is slightly worse compared to on cycle, but manageable and not significantly limiting training. Overall well-being feels positive.

Bodyweight is currently around 97 kg. Daily caloric intake ranges between 3,800 and 4,500 kcal. Protein intake is between 210 and 300 g per day, fat intake between 90 and 120 g, with the remainder coming from carbohydrates. Appetite, digestion, and food quality are all very good.

Current protocol (peptides / hormones):

• HGH: 5 IU ED
• GHK-Cu: 2 mg ED
• Epithalon: 1 mg ED
• BPC-157: 500 mcg ED
• TB-500: 1 mg ED
• PEG-MGF: 300 mcg pre- or post-workout, 5×/week
• L-Carnitine: 500 mg IM, ~1 hour pre-workout

Health & support supplements:

• Zinc: 50 mg ED
• Vitamin D3: 8,000 IU ED
• Vitamin K2: 800 mcg ED
• Magnesium bisglycinate: 500 mg ED
• Ashwagandha (Shoden®, ~35% withanolides): 300 mg ED
• Berberine: 1,000 mg ED
• Turmeric (Curcumin): 500 mg ED
• Boron: 6 mg ED
• Coenzyme Q10: 200 mg ED
• Omega-3 fatty acids: ~3 g ED
• Selenium: 200 mcg ED
• NAC: 600 mg ED

Overall, I feel good and stable. Strength is holding and slowly progressing, recovery is reasonable for PCT, and mood, sleep, and nutrition are all in a solid place. Hoping this trend continues.
