Training & Nutrition


Training Split (5–6 sessions per week):

Cardio: none




Nutrition


  • Calories: ~4200 kcal/day (performance-focused recomposition)
  • Macros:
    • Protein: ~380 g
    • Carbs: ~450–500 g
    • Fats: ~90–100 g
  • Food Sources: chicken, steak, rice, oats, eggs, avocado, salmon, nuts, vegetables
  • Pre-Workout Meal: oats + banana + whey



Supplements


  • Weider Protein 80 Plus: 2–3 shakes per day (around 80 g protein each)
  • Creatine Monohydrate: 10–12 g/day
  • EAAs/BCAAs: 10–15 g during workouts
  • Pre-Workout (Caffeine/Citrulline): as needed for focus and energy



Progress & Notes


Week 1


  • Weight: 130 kg
  • Strength: Bench 90 kg x 8, Squat 210 kg x 10
  • Side Effects: minor post-injection soreness, slightly increased aggression, strong appetite boost
  • Experience: strength rising fast, insane pumps, sleep slightly restless from Tren
  • Plan: first bloodwork scheduled for Week 6 (Test, E2, liver, kidney)



Week 4


  • Weight: 127 kg (-3 kg)
  • Strength: Bench 100 kg x 8 (+10 kg), Squat 225 kg x 8 (+15 kg),
  • Side Effects: mild night sweats, slight irritability; raised Arimidex to 0.5 mg daily
  • Experience: muscles looking fuller and harder, energy strong, recovery on point
  • Notes: sleep quality better with MK-677, libido high, skin slightly oily



Week 8


  • coming soon



Week 12 (Planned Final Update)


  • coming soon



Tracking Plan


  • Updates every 2–3 weeks
  • Tracking: weight, strength, side effects, sleep, mood, recovery
  • Bloodwork: every 6 weeks
  • Photos: before, mid, and after cycle



Key Takeaways


  • Consistency beats dosage — food and recovery drive the gains.
  • Keep estrogen and blood pressure in check.
  • Tren requires strict discipline: hydration, cardio, and liver care.
  • Focus on performance, not just size — every rep must count.

Alright, looking at the full picture, there’s a lot to unpack here. You’ve got a well-structured plan, clearly thought through, and that already shows experience. But there’s also a big gap between how this looks on paper and how it’ll actually play out depending on your current condition. At 130 kg and 185 cm, we need to know if that’s solid offseason size or if there’s a fair amount of body fat in the mix. Because that single variable completely changes how this cycle should be judged.

If you’re a big, relatively lean guy looking to harden up and push performance, then your base of Test and Tren is right on point. The dosing is solid and manageable, and your support stack covers the essentials. You’ll build dense, strong muscle and tighten up if food and recovery stay consistent. But if you’re carrying more fat than you should, Tren at 300 mg with MK-677 in the mix is like pulling in two directions at once. Tren’s meant to cut and refine, while MK tends to promote water retention, increased appetite, and even mild insulin resistance. That’s not what you want in a recomp phase. MK would make way more sense in a clean bulk or cruise period, not here.

Your nutrition plan looks solid, with 4200 calories, clean food sources, and strong macro balance. Just keep in mind that with Tren in play, your body’s nutrient partitioning is going to shift drastically, meaning you might get the same progress with slightly fewer calories and less systemic stress. Your training split is structured well, but I’d still add a bit of cardio. Even low-intensity walking 3 or 4 times a week will help control blood pressure, keep the heart healthy, and give you a sharper look by the end.

You clearly know your supplements, and you’ve got your health markers covered with TUDCA, NAC, Omega-3, and D3, all smart inclusions. The next big step is consistency with bloodwork. You mentioned doing labs every six weeks, so stick to that religiously, especially with Tren.

The bottom line is this: the framework is good, the dosing is reasonable, and your goal makes sense. But your current condition and the inclusion of MK are what really define whether this cycle will be successful or unnecessarily rough. Drop the MK for now, track your health closely, and tighten up with food and cardio. Then, when you’re leaner and ready to grow again, bring MK back for what it’s actually great at, adding clean size.

You’re on a strong path here. Just make it more specific to where you actually are right now, not where you assume your body is. That’s what separates a smart cycle from a risky one.

Hope for updates!!
