That's a fucking solid log cycle !
Everything is well organized, readable and clear. I love it
Your blood is good.
Support supplement also
Just be careful with frontload. It can play tricks on you. For the e2 in particular.
And we don't normally take any AI without blood tests. Because identifying symptoms is sometimes false signals or it's too late.
If you feel something, bloodwork for the e2 and prolactin. And THEN you choose the dose of AI if necessary
I think the frontload protocol like this is a mistake. It takes around 4 to 5 half lives of a drug to reach steady concentrations, in the case of test E with its half life of 4.5 days, the time until saturation (or flushing out of the system) is 18 to 22.5 days (about 3 weeks). Test P has a half life of 0.8 days and you plan on injecting it every other day. The test from test P would flush out of your system before test E even saturates. Also, according to dr. Todd Lee, you should not frontload anything aromatisable, because it will spike your estradiol too much. A simple graph on steroidplotter.com with test P at 50mg EOD for the first week and test E at 85mg EOD until the end og the cycle shows exactly what I mean.
If you want, I can now also make you a “Week 0” intro teaser using this bubble-heavy style to post right before you start —
so the thread gains followers from day one.
Do you want me to do that next?
HAHAHAHA (not meant as an attack, I just find it very funny when anyone forgets to remove chatGPTs additional notes after the answer to their prompt). In all seriousness, please don't use the bubbles, I can't quote what you write.
As for the supps (I can't quote because of the bubble), check if you even need TUDCA. I've found with myself and my clients 500-2000mg of NAC to be sufficient and I've heard TUDCA, when not needed, can cause more problems. I have not been able to dive into whether this is true though. As for the lipids, if citrus bergamot isn't enough, look into red yeast rice extract (with monacolin K), because it's a statin and it lowers cholesterol, LDL and raises HDL. Combine it with ezetimibe if you need even stronger effect. And when you do your next bloodwork, check your vitamin D levels. Go off bloodwork when determining the dose for supplementation.
As for the bloodwork: you blood glucose (I assume you did it fasted) is quite high for someone not using anything GH related. HbA1c also confirms this, I'd not suspect a 5.5 reading on a natural with no predispositions for diabetes. Your fasted insulin is fine though. Your IGF1 and CRP are very good. The only other things to note are that you are borderline vitamin D deficient and that you already have relatively high estradiol with 721 ng/dl testosterone levels, so you will very likely need to use something to control your aromatase.
Measure your blood pressure. That's the only other thing I can think of.
Big props for being comprehensive with bloodwork, supps and everything else.

Thanks for the feedback, @dr. Doping
I’ll skip the Test-P frontload and just run Test-E and thanks for the suggestions.
Yes, I always use ChatGPT for summarizing. In the last 5–6 months, I’ve created 5–6 documents every day about cycles, products, supplements, etc., and ChatGPT has been a huge help in summarizing everything.
About the glucose the night before that blood test I had two pizzas around 11 PM, then tested at 10–11 AM, which gave the 101 result. A colleague lent me a glucose meter and I checked several times afterwards in a truly fasted state — always in the 80–90 mg/dL range. So it was just that one meal before the test, nothing abnormal.
I’ve reworked the entire layout, corrected everything, and polished the structure. Would be great if you guys could take a look and share your thoughts
This cycle is honestly dialed in really well bro, especially considering your age, stats, and background.
First off, you’re starting from a prime position. At 23 years old, 184 cm tall, 82 kg at under 10% body fat, you’re basically walking into this with the kind of baseline most people dream of. High insulin sensitivity, clean hormone profile, and years of combat sports + lifting under your belt. That’s the perfect platform for a lean mass cycle as you wish for.
The cycle itself is clean, minimal, and smartly structured. Test E at ~300 mg/week is a sweet spot for growth without pushing estrogen out of control. Adding HCG on-cycle keeps the boys alive, which makes recovery so much smoother. Using Exemestane only if symptoms appear shows maturity like you’re not nuking estrogen unnecessarily, you’re respecting balance.
The second phase with Drosta is a beautiful touch. It hardens the look, gives mild anti-estrogenic effects, and works synergistically with Test without blowing up side effects. Keeping dosages symmetrical (Test and Mast at the same frequency and volume) is clean, efficient, and minimizes injection hassle.
The PCT is elite. You’re not just tossing in Nolva and hoping for the best. You’re using Enclomiphene + Tamoxifen in a taper that makes sense. That’s how you stimulate LH and FSH strongly without a crash. No HCG in PCT? Perfect. That’s exactly what most people miss — HCG is for during the cycle, not after. Adding low-dose HGH for recovery, sleep, mood, and fat control is next-level smart. That’s how you preserve gains and feel good while your natural system kicks back in.
The bloodwork plan shows you’re not flying blind. Pre, mid, and post labs are what separate reckless blasting from real bodybuilding. That’s the difference between “I hope it’s fine” and “I know it’s fine.” You got Sharky’s Respect.
Training and nutrition are dialed in for a combat athlete. 3,500–4,000 kcal with high carbs to fuel sparring, high protein for muscle, and fats kept in check for hormone balance. The example meals are basic but effective. Around training, you’ve nailed it with fast carbs + whey pre, rice + chicken post. (It can be too high in cals… though)
The supplement stack is thorough. It covers liver (NAC, TUDCA), heart and cholesterol (Citrus Bergamot, Fish Oil, Red Yeast Rice), kidneys (Astragalus), hormones (Zinc, Boron, Vitamin D3/K2), and inflammation/stress (Curcumin, Ashwagandha, Astaxanthin). That’s not overkillz that’s protection. You’re not just growing, you’re future-proofing your health.
Throwing in peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 makes complete sense with your combat workload.
the progress tracking plan is legit. Photos, weight, and bloodwork updates every 1–2 weeks make this not just a cycle, but an education and a logbook you can look back on. That’s how you actually learn your body. (I’ll be seated here! )
In short: this cycle is textbook smart, safe, and efficient. You’ve got structure, health protection, training, food, and recovery all aligned. It’s not excessive, it’s not reckless, it’s surgical. If you run this exactly as written, the outcome should be lean gains, a harder look, and minimal side effects.

Thanks a lot bro really appreciate your detailed feedback! Glad you see it the same way I tried to keep the cycle smart, clean and health-focused. I’m actually thinking about switching to daily microdosing ~350 mg Test-E/week (≈50 mg ED with 27G pins), just to keep levels even more stable. For now I’m really happy with how it’s all set up –training, diet, supps and recovery feel dialed in.
I’ll keep you posted on the progress

I'd say you should delay your PCT by atleast 3 weeks. Testosterone enanthate and drostanolone enanthate have about 4,5 days long half life and they need about 5 half lives to be cleared out of the system. As it can be seen on the image I quoted, test and mast would stay in your system for half of your PCT. I'd advise you stay on HCG for your whole cycle and run it for 3 more weeks after ceasing testosterone and masteron. From what I've read HCG has half life of 36 hours, so it would take roughly a week for it to clear. Keep pinning HCG for 3 weeks after stopping test and mast, after 3 week mark, stop HCG and start nolva and clomid (enclomiphene would be better, but since you already got your order, there is no point in changing it).
My fasting glucose is 85–97 mg/dL, which is normal. Early morning (06:00–08:00) it’s usually 78–85. Around 10:00–11:00 the liver releases glycogen to keep blood sugar stable, so values rise a bit before going down again that’s normal physiology. I train MMA daily and often get home around 23:00, so I have to eat late; not perfect, but the day only has 24 hours.

You’re absolutely right. I actually realized the same thing a few days ago when I plotted the graph of my test levels the PCT would’ve been way too early. I miscalculated originally, but I’m already planning to adjust and start PCT only once the test has dropped low enough. Thanks for pointing it out and confirming what I had noticed.
PS: i updated the cycle
Guter Plan..
Aber Testo.Propionat wäre da viel effektiver, vorallem im Kampfsport.
Ausserdem auch weniger belastend für den Körper als Testo.Ena.
Und bei solch einer geringen Dosierung von Roids würde ich HCG, Tamox, Extemesan unsw ganz weglassen.
Wen du schlechte Blutwerte bekommen solltest, dann nur von diesen Sachen.
Und wenn Sie die finanziellen Mittel haben sollten, dann nimm das HGH über einen längeren Zeitraum.
Ein paar Wochen HGH bringen überhaupt nichts, auch nicht für die Erholung.
Alles Gute Oss

I’m running a low dose of hCG, just 500 IU per week, and Test-E at 350 mg per week. Exemestane is only for safety if E2 is going to high. For PCT I just want to be 100% sure my body can recover quickly, so I can see what’s possible. This is my first cycle
This doesn't make any sense. Testosterone is testosterone, the only differencer is the ester and it only affects how fast the effects are "felt". Also there is no reason enanthate would be harsh on the body?? If anything, it's milder, since the concentration in the blood will be more stable (even with daily administrations)
