I think starting out with those 2 (or just the var) is fine, especially for your first meet!
Squatted in wraps wednesday for some more practice. Did 225 kg / 495 lbs x3 wayy deeper than last sunday, also felt far better. After that pulled 240/530ish x5 paused DL stiffbar, this will be last block on the stiffbar.
Added in 2 mg Reta in place of 0.5mg sema, for BG control and insulin sensitivity. Definitely noticed less appetite suppression but that's good considering bw needs to come up, as its still stuck around 104.6-105 kg despite adding 150g of uncooked rice (75 g added to m4 and 5) and 50g of oats (25 to m1 and 2). Interesting to see since normally my bodyweight is very responsive to food changes but maybe its the reta.
Friday's deload bench was ass, still no pop and not finding my groove, maybe the MENT was doing more for my bench then I thought.
Sun squatted 265 kg / 590 lbs for 2x5 with some light wraps, depth is slightly better but definitely still not where it needs to be. Though going deeper seems to feel better with tighter wraps, so I think I'll just crank them on next week.
Mondays medium bench was okay, not great and still not in the groove but getting a little better, I think gaining weight back will really help bench (I hope).
Thinking about using some PWO compounds on heavy bench sessions for performance, as it is the lift that is lagging the most at this point. Something along the lines of TNE/Testsusp/adrol/Inj. mtren/anavar
Preferably test susp because it isn't as toxic as tren/mtren/adrol etc and my TNE is in guaiacol, but the suspension clogs my 27g needle at 75mg/ml and I dont feel like pinning with an 18g. I might try to dilute it with BAC water to see if that helps, otherwise I'll use the TNE or get some TNE without guaiacol. Or if anyone has any suggestions for PWO compounds that really work well for them / ways to not clog my needle with suspention.
Thanks for the tipp!
As for PWO Blends a mix of Dianabol/Var/SDrol/Halo would be my choice!

haha so basically all the orals! Okay mr. "only anavar and proviron", I'll give it a go!
Proviron for the dry look, anavar for the fullness. I love this combo way too much!

Hey man, we have almost identical numbers in bench and deadlift. What Fed do you compete in? I’m in Alberta. Nice log man ! I tore my teres major last year but still managed a Beltless 700 conventional pull at 235. If you’re on the west coast, let me know!

Haha, you outbench me by like 20kg / 44lbs so I appreciate it but my bench needs some work! I compete in the Dutch Powerlifting League (Dutch IPL affiliate) but this next meet is an ABS powerlifting series meet! Appreciate the invite but I'm not sure I'll be in Canada any time soon!
As per @dougcentral 's advice (in his crazy orals cycle thread) I'm going to pulse some orals, he benches more than me and therefore all his advice must be true. Lipids be damned! (I have rosuvastatin on the way if bgpharma wants to send me my shit). Probably going for some Tbol @ 25-50 / day as I have it laying around and it's supposedly mild but good for some strength gains.
For Lipids i can highly recommend the combination of Ezemtibe, Bempoic Acid and Pitavastatin. Freaking amazing components and when adding Glutathione on top you can eat orals like peanuts!

Yeah I think that will be the next progression for lipid control, for now I ordered rosuvastatin for LDL, but that was before I learned that pitavastatin also raises HDL. So that will be my next go to when I run through this stash of Rosuvestatin.
Wednesday deadlifts wen well did 260 kg / 573 lbs x 5 paused. Weight dropped further to 104.4 new low despite adding even more rice.
Added 25mg of Tbol on Thursday, never tried Tbol but have some laying around and felt like trying it. As some people say its sorta like anavar and I could use some bench strength at the moment.
Friday heavy bench went okay, pressed 170kg / 375lbs x2. Going back to some more low intensity volume building as I am now around 12 weeks out.
Sunday squats went well, did 280kg / 617 lbs 2x5 in wraps and 225kg / 496 lbs 2x5 paused with bare knees. BW still 104.7ish but did feel more explosive so maybe tbol was already working.
Thinking about maybe reducing the dose of reta or removing it entirely if next week bw doesn't move up.
Had some bigger off meal plans on Sunday night and monday to force some weight gain, and bw popped above 105kg / 231 lbs for the first time in a while. Though mondays bench was still very meh again despite the weightgain, did have a great pump though.
Friday I'll do another physique update to keep track of that progress up too.

Okay so had a busy week and then my laptop died so thats why the lack of updates.
Some training and PED updates since:
Tried Tbol @ 25mg/day, after day 5 started to get this weird thing where I could fall asleep just fine but I would consistently wake up an hour/ 1h 30m before my alarm. Dropped it after 10 days, and on day 12 sleep was back to normal. Did not notice any improvements in strength really just better pumps and a bit better endurance. So yea thats a no from me.
Removed the reta last week, since thats what seemed to be holding back weightgain despite eating a lot more. Gained back up to 106 and even close to 107 some days, bit too fast for me but bench has been feeling a lot better with the added weight gain, did a set of 9 with 140kg / 308 after 4x6 3ct bench at the same weight. So bench seems to be catching back up again. Going to keep the reta at 1 mg / week for now.
Squatted last sunday, went very meh. Plan was 300 kg / 661 lbs for a set of 5, but my waist got a little bigger because of the weight increase I think. So my belt felt weird, I botched the walkout and didn't have my regular crew spotting (just some not super strong people) so after rep 3 I racked it. Seeing the video back I definitely could have made 5 happen but I'm not too mad matching my best in wraps at an easy RPE (kinda mad because I also squatted 300x3 in sleeves).
Finally got my BGpharma package, got some temlisartan/hctz combo for if/when BP becomes an issue this prep. Also got some free salbutamol, but currently not much of a use I think. Also got alot of Rosuvastatin in 20mg tabs, going to run 5mg EOD for the rest of this prep to keep LDL down. Will do bloods somewhere during prep, and if need be go to 5 ED or 10 ED depending on bloods.
Had a big deadlift session on wednesday 20th, so took 150 TNE (SSA). .75ml in both delts and ofc it hurt like shit because of the guiacol but damn it felt good to train on TNE. Hit 300kg / 661 lbs for 5 reps on the stiffbar. Huge PR, as my last best was same weight for 3 on the deadlift bar, and this set felt like I had 1-2 more in me. So super happy with that one, back to the deadlift bar next week.
Definitely going to try to find some TNE without guaiacol (probably Dutchlabs).
Time for a deload week now, and then the real prep starts. Adding 245 mg of Mast E (QSC) from 23/8/2025 onward, also went to 5iu GH the last week because my body needed that extra recovery after this heavy week. So total stack will be
490 Test E
175 Primo E
245 Mast E
5iu GH
As Im now also running the rosuvastatin, I'm less hesitant to run some PWO orals for especially bench and squat days (those seem to be lagging, deadlift is doing great).

Nice update! Are you running any other lipid meds apart from Rosu?

No at the moment I am not, besides eating a shit ton of fiber and regular cardio. Likely will add some over time, especially things to support HDL like you suggested: pitavastatin, bempedoic acid etc.
Thanks man, appreciate it!
now for the log updates; another busy week but luckily it was a deload week at 10-9 weeks out.
Did 275kg / 606lbs x3 on squat, 150kg / 331lbs 3x3 on long pause bench, and 225kg / 496lbs 3x3 on deads and felt a bit more recovered at the end of the week.
Had random nosebleed at work during this week though. First time thats ever happened so freaked out and checked BP. Was still normal around 120/65 so likely wasnt that. Realised I took my 5mg of rosuvastatin in the morning instead of the evening (I forgot it the evening before), apparently that is a rare but possible side effect. So just sticking with 5mg EOD in the evening from now on.
Also noticed a significant boost in libido for some reason this week, could be the reduction of fatigue or the introduction of Mast this week. It started at day 4-5 after starting the mast so not completly crazy but maybe a bit fast?
Also found out that my local PL fed is doing a meet 4 weeks after this planned international one, so I would like to join that one just for fun and maybe if the international meet goes shit it could serve as a meet to see what I can actually do. Though the local fed is quite strict too. Or I'll just do it bench only/ push-pull, if the first meet goes well enough.
Though that does make the cycle a bit more complicated, I'm fine w running the injectables 4 more weeks. But if I start the orals 8 weeks out from the first meet, now I'm doing 10-12 weeks of orals and I'm not sure thats the best idea.
(also got a nice order in from SRY with alotta dbol, halo, m1t, yk11 and mtren, so eager to try those out. But not all at once lol)
I think I'll start layering in the orals sopmething like this;
8-6w out: 50 var PWO (SBD days)
6-3w out: 25mg dbol OR 50 var Daily
3-0w out: same as above + 50mg of anadrol
Last 7 days maybe adding in halo or sdol at 20mg depending on if at that point I think I need it.
For second meet drop the orals for 2 weeks, keep running the injectables. and 2 weeks out add back in the same 2-0w out protocol
This sunday did a slightly better 300kg / 661 x3 on squat, still no where near good but I am going to shift some of my programming back to what has worked in the past to see if that helps my squat feel better.
Also here is a long overdue physique update, at 106.7kg / 235 lbs. Getting a little more fluffy but bench is going better because of it. going to try to keep uit a .5kg / 1lbs rate of gain these next few weeks and if its a little more I won't be mad either.
From experience, I think superdrol really sucks for peaking for a powerlifting meet because it doesn't make you feel very good. Training fatigue + superdrol is just a bad recipe, it ends up draining you a bit mentally. People tell you that it's a "super" version of anadrol, but in my experience anadrol gives me retard strength but superdrol just gives me crazy fullness. I'd argue that superdrol is a bodybuilding / aesthetics drug, and anadrol can be both bodybuilding and powerlifting. Bonus is that you don't feel like shit taking anadrol. Halo the last 7 days is a good idea, that does give a fair bit of strength for me, but only in doses of around 30mg per day. mTren on the day... nothing beats that.

Thanks for the advice and insight man! I don't think I'll be running Super into the meet then. Halo the last week I'm still a bit hesitant on as I dont know how I react to it / if I'll be a major asshole while on it, and the meet is in combination with a small holiday and I don't feel like potentially ruining that by being an asshole to my gf the whole trip. I think I'll have to try halo for a comp without holiday or just during a heavy training block to see how it affects me. Mtren I am bringing tho, and I think I am going to try some PWO before a heavy session.
For the training updates at 7 weeks out now;
Was another very busy week of training, work, coaching and college (lol), but went well regardless.
Squat is going meh to be honest. I was expecting to gain 10-20% when going from sleeves to wraps (as I did in the past). But I am currently doing about the same numbers with wraps as I did in sleeves. I think this is partly due to my technique, in sleeves I squat quite wide so I can use alot of adductors. But the wraps dont seem to help as much in that position. That in addition to that I am stil getting used to them.
So I did 305kg / 666lbs for 2, was supposed to be 3 but rep 2 was waayy too hard. Also butchered the walkout but luckily the comp will be out of a mono. I am going to take a step back for squats with my programming and build it up again into the meet.
Bench is going great, did a 5x3 at 170kg / 375 lbs at RPE 7-8.5 for the last set, so very happy with that. I think I'm able to press around 200-205kg / 441-451 lbs at the moment, and hopefully the addition of orals and more BW gives me another 5-10kg / 11-22 lbs.
Deadlift is doing pretty good, still getting used to using the deadlift bar but I'm slowly figuring it out. Did 300kg / 661 lbs for 3 this week and it moved pretty good, not as well as when I did the 300x5 on the stiffbar but I'm attributing that to the switch to the DL bar. I think I am going to try for ~325kg / 717 lbs for a triple next week, and then a last small deload before heading into singles.
Gear slightly shifted to 525 Test E / 140 Primo E / 245 Mast E. Because in the end I just want to get stronger and BW up and I'm getting no E2 sides, I feel like test does more for for me in that aspect than primo (+primo expensive af rn, test is cheap and I am a broke college student).
Next week I am going to start doing 50mg var PWO for my heavy days (3x per week) for 2 weeks. Then at 5 weeks out (maybe 6w) I am going to add 25mg of dbol per day, and plan is to run that into the meet. And then maybe (if I feel I need it) 14 days out add anadrol on top, 25-50mg for the first week, and 50-100 for the last.
Started to get some Carpal tunnel syndrome this week from the GH. So I think I am going to shift to 6 IU training day, 4IU rest day. Still averages out to 5iu daily but maybe that lowers CTS. It isn't currently affecting my training but I don't want to be dropping deadlifts because my hands are holding so much water.
Steps this week at an average of 15.5k, with all days above 13.5k and some as high as 18.6k. Not great for recovery so trying to dial those back a bit to average 13k the last few weeks of prep, with a minimum of 12k per day because thats just where I feel good. All of this in addition to my weekly 3-4 sessions of 40 min of cardio. Body is feeling good though, minimal aches and pains, so very happy with that. Some slight elbow pain creeping in after squats but working on mobility there.
BW increasing quite fast, this weeks 7-day average was 108.5kg / 239lbs , with highs as high as 110kg / 242lbs. I'm okay with it though as I don't want to limit myself by a weightclass. Looks like I am slowly gining a little fat, but gym performance on accesories is climbing each week consistently so I am sure I am putting on muscle.
Foodwise I'm mostly eating more of the same, just more rice w rice meals, and added dried fruits to M1 and M2. Also having some more Off-plan meals here and there as well as some snacks. Hunger wise I am still doing great.
Fasting Bg AM still holding 4.7-5.0nmol/l, not great bur not horrible. Something to get in check after this blast. Post-prandial BG is very good though, so the elevated BG in the AM may be due to other things.
BP is starting to creep up a bit, averaging 124/70, likely due to BW gain. I am going to use a low dose of Telmisartan/HCTZ to try to get this back down, however my pills are dosed at 80/25. And chatgpt says a 4-6 point reduction is to be expected from 10/3.125 if you extrapolate. So I'll start at 10mg Telmisartan / 3.125mg Hydrochlorothiazide and see if it gets back to sub 120.
Pics from last fridays heavy bench @ 109.1kg / 240 lbs AM weight.
Honestly I don’t get that anger thing that people always talk about with halo. It does make me incredibly horny though, even just at 5mg. If you’re worried about being a dick to your girlfriend then anadrol might be a good option. You can do 100mg easily on the day as well. Just make sure you try before the actual meet to make sure it doesn’t give you a migraine.
Also be aware with mtren if you haven’t tried it yet, it makes me extremely tired. I’ll be super strong and aggressive for 45 minutes and then afterwards I just want to sleep. Be prepared for that if you take some for squat and bench. Last time I competed I took 0.5mg warming up for each event. I think the excitement of the day kept me awake because I never got that sleepiness. In the gym though I could easily fall asleep on one of the machines.

Training this week at 6 weeks out has gone pretty damn well, deadlifted 325kg / 717lbs for 2, missed the 3. Already felt I was getting pulled out of position on the first rep, I think this is due to me getting a little fatter and changing my leverages a bit, so I'll have to adapt. Starting singles next week.
Bench went great 180kg / 396lbs for a 3x3, and did a single with 190kg/ 419lbs after those sets, failed it once then took it again and got it. On my secondary bench day did 160kg / 353lbs for a 2x4 with some long pauses.
Squat is finally feeling good, more speed into the hole rather than control.
300kg / 661lbs x 3 fell forward on 4, but felt very easy.
310kg / 683 lbs x1 after that, moved very easy. Not bad considering my best in the gym is 315kg / 694lbs.
sitting at 6 w out now, BP is down to 119/65 again after the introduction of Telmi/HCTZ at 10mg/ 3.125mg ED. But I have added dbol at 25mg/day since this saturday, so I will increase the dose (of Temli/hctz) if needed. Also going to 5mg Rosuvastatin ED. Let's hope the primo+mast will prevent me from getting gyno.
Bodyweight is rising quite well now, reached over 110 a few times this week, and even as high as 111.5kg
Pushing the food quite hard atm, eating 6.2k cal per day, 418P/825C/134F, 80g fiber. About 85% clean food, but here and there I will have some granola to get the kcals in. I think getting on the platform at ~115kg / 255 lbs is a reasonable goal if I keep gaining weight at this speed.

Alright 5 weeks out update, it's starting to get heavier now, and so am I. Average BW of 111.6 kg / 246 lbs with highs of up to 112.5 kg / 248 lbs, heaviest I have ever been so thats going well. Food is starting to become slightly more of a nuisance, but still managable.
Had a small deadlift deload, pulled 275 kg / 606 lbs for 1, was wayy too heavy but clearly needed it after last week.
Was feeling very good about bench before the session, but warming up my shoulder felt off. Decided to push it anyway and got 190 kg / 419 lbs for 2 reps, tried the third but couldn't get it, lost all my tension on rep 1 and 2. Mostly blaming my shoulder because rep one looked super fast, but its still a solid PR. Also had to note I didn't "feel" the dbol pop as much as I did the last prep I used it, could also be due to the shoulder making it feel less stable and explosive. Or the strength increase from orals decreases over time? Idk.
Squats this sunday went pretty good, trained in a gym with a monolift so got to use it for the first time in training, felt pretty awkward not walking it out but on the topsets I had it mostly figured out. Did 310 kg / 683 lbs for a triple, and 320kg / 705 lbs for a single after. 10kg triple PR and 5kg gym PR on the single and only 10kg below my best in a meet, and they felt pretty comfortable so despite not feeling the dbol on bench I think its working. Plus I am finally figuring out the wraps so thats nice, only thing that was less was that a few reps of the triple may have been a bit high, but the girl I asked is quite strict so thats good to be held to a high standard during training.
Body is feeling pretty good, but it's starting to show some aches. Elbows hurt the day after bench (standard PL prep thing, just elbow tendonitis), Pecs feeling a little beat up but nothing serious like tendonitis yet and knee acting up a slight bit but I think with some proper rehab/prehab work and load management should be no problem at all. Will also be slowly decreasing SBD volume and accessories as we approach the meet to peak.
Drug wise still no changes, will likely run this until 2 weeks out when the anadrol will go in. The mast and/or primo are definelty working as I have no nipple sensitivity like on 500 Test 25 dbol. Gains wise I definetly think I am putting on some good musclemass, but at the same time also quite the amount of fat. Not a big deal since I just want to be strong but I'll try to do a physique update soon regardless.

Belated 4 weeks out update:
Pulled a somewhat slow 310kg / 683lbs deadlift single on wednesday last week, happy with it because last week 275 / 606 was a struggle.
Benched a 3x1 at 180/185/185kg / 397/408/408lbs, felt okay. Bench still doesn't feel as explosive as dbol the last time. I do notice I am stronger but its far less pronounced. I am making good progress on my secondary pressing movements (Feet up bench and larsen press), so I'm sure I am getting stronger. I'm just hoping the addition of anadrol the last 2 weeks will make my bench peak insane and add 5kg or so, but who knows maybe anadrol will not give me that pop either.
Squatted 320kg / 705lbs for 3 which is a 20kg triple PR and it moved great (about @8 id say), and then 330kg / 727lbs for a single after to match my comp pr and moved pretty well (and a 15 kg gym pr). Sadly only got 9 revolution on my wraps on the single (usually I get 10) because I couldn't finish the last revolution, so I thought fuck it and did it with 9. Not a great idea because after the single my right knee felt weird, felt like some tendonitis that I managed to shake off a few weeks ago returned immediately. So skipped backdowns and did some rehab stuff to make it feel better.
Decided I might get some faster recovery if I spam the GH, so took 10iu that night (instead of regular 6iu TD / 4IU RD), did 8iu the day after, and 6iu on my rest day after that. Maybe its placebo but at the moment (3 days after) knee feels alot better (~70-80%) and did some light squats and was able to train quads pretty well. Will do another 10iu tonight (after DL-lower) and 8iu tomorrow. If the knee is back to 100% or close to it I'll go back to 6iu TD / 4IU RD, with maybe 8iu on lower days.
So unsure what I'm going to do on squat next week. Initial plan was 325-330kg / 717-727 lbs for my heaviest triple of the prep and then depending on how that goes 335-345kg / 738-760lbs for the single, as I have 2 heavy squat sessions remaining. But if the knee doesn't feel close to 100% by next squat day I might only do the single or a slightly lighter one to give myself some more room to recover the knee and get a last big squat in at 2 weeks out.
Eventhough on bench I don't feel as strong as I'd expected from the Dbol, it seems to be doing wonders for my squat again (and nothing for my DL)
now at a bit over 3 weeks out
Deadlifted 320kg / 705 lbs for a good single, way faster than last weeks 310kg / 683lbs and the first time on the deadlift bar it felt kinda natural (or maybe it was the 30mg of var PWO). Only problem I'm having is that my thumbs keep tearing after my topset (I do hookgrip), so I got some thumb tape and will be trying that out.
BW is trending up still but less fast than before. Life feels heavy, and markers of cardiovascular fitness have gone down the drain, I'm okay with that for these last few weeks but will definetly be doing a big cut again after this prep is done. Speaking of, I'm about at the point where I'm ready for prep to be done, I love the heavy lifting but outside of the gym it's taking its tolls. Oh well, just a few more weeks of pushing.
Physique update last monday, clearly added some fat but feeling strong and big (thanks Dbol).
Pulled a somewhat slow 310kg / 683lbs deadlift single on wednesday last week, happy with it because last week 275 / 606 was a struggle.
Benched a 3x1 at 180/185/185kg / 397/408/408lbs, felt okay. Bench still doesn't feel as explosive as dbol the last time. I do notice I am stronger but its far less pronounced. I am making good progress on my secondary pressing movements (Feet up bench and larsen press), so I'm sure I am getting stronger. I'm just hoping the addition of anadrol the last 2 weeks will make my bench peak insane and add 5kg or so, but who knows maybe anadrol will not give me that pop either.
Squatted 320kg / 705lbs for 3 which is a 20kg triple PR and it moved great (about @8 id say), and then 330kg / 727lbs for a single after to match my comp pr and moved pretty well (and a 15 kg gym pr). Sadly only got 9 revolution on my wraps on the single (usually I get 10) because I couldn't finish the last revolution, so I thought fuck it and did it with 9.
