Heres a run down of my experience as a first time steroid user. I'm going to go into detail and state the obvious for the benifit of people researching into doing their own first cycle.
Before the cycle I did over 3 months of research, mainly right here on this forum. I had a good foundation to build on, I was/am 23 years old - probably about the minimum age to start using and I had a reliable source to legit drugs.
My cycle was simply 500mg of Testosterone Enanthate a week. This was taken in two, 250mg shots spread evenly each week. The first shot of the week was on a monday morning around 7:30am, the second weekly shot was on a thursday night at 7:30pm. I ran the cycle for 12 weeks taking super strength vitamin tablets and 20mg of Nolvadex every day. The nolvadex is to "help" prevent gyno (bitch tits). I used 21g 1.5inch pins to extract from the amps and then 23g 1.25inch pins to inject. All the injections were in the left and right glute (ass cheeks). I learned how to inject from www.spotinjections.com.
I've always been very nervous of injetions and I was pretty shocked that I managed to go through with the first shot. I was a little nervous - especialy after smelling the alcoholic wipes, it just reminded me of shots I had at school :) I placed the pin in the correct spot on my upper, outer left ass cheek using a mirror and having the tutoral from spotinjections on screen to follow. I pushed on the pin which hurt a little for a second but as soon as the pin pierced my skin it slid the rest of the way with ease and without pain :) I was very suprised at how easy it went in. I aspirated (pulled back on the plunger - as explained on spotinjections) and then injected the 250mg of Test Enth. It took me about 4 weeks to get used to the shots but after that I started to look forward to them - I actualy miss having them now my cycles over :)
Now for the results. My starting weight was 187lb. My biceps measured 15.75inch and my chest measued 44.5inch. At the end of the cycle I now weigh 201lb. My biceps are now 16.25inch and my chest is 46inch. I don't think I'm holding much water - hardly anything at all, so I'm hoping that I can keep the majority of my gains.
Side effects seem to have been very mild for me. As I've mentioned I don't seem to be holding much water. I have had some acne but its been very mild and nothing I can't put up with. Mainly on my chest, shoulders and back - I must stress though, it has been mild but noticeable over my regular/natural skin condition.
The whole experience has been quite a pleasant one. I can only look forward to me second cycle in spring time :) this time I will stack Test Enth with either Deca or EQ.
Cheers, I hope this is a help to some of you looking for info.
