1st Cycle: Dbol/ Test Enth
I started this cycle partly because of motivational issues and flame away if you need. However, in all honesty, I knew if I was juicing, I wouldn't miss a workout and the results would follow. 2003-2004 I lifted hard about 3 times a week and saw some nice strength gains but no size (my diet and 100hr/wk job cut into my recuperative possibilities). 2005: No lifting in the gym but built a 3500 square foot house myself so I worked my body but got nasty, lumpy fat.
So.......did my research, got the gear and here's what's up at day 34.
I'm 5'10" and started taking 30mg dbol/ed on Dec 28, 2005 (I was 189lb and bodyfat was 23%). I took the dbol for 28 days and suffered splitting headaches but the quick strength gains were seductive so I stuck it out: strict breathing during reps and a diuretic helped but my head hurt most of the first 4 weeks.
On Jan 2, 2006, I took my first shot of BD test-e @ 250mg and shoot 250mg twice a week (planning on ten weeks). Also: Nolva 20mg/ed.
Well, today I'm still 5'10 obviously but I'm weighing in at 210 with 16% body fat. UNF%$&ING Believable!!!!!!!!!! I work out five on, one off and include lots of heavy compound moves like clean and press/deads/push presses and I am VERY HAPPY with the results thus far. And from what I've read the test-e is just kicking in!
Finally, I'm eating everything in sight including three protien shakes @ 1000 calories per day and the evening one, right before bed, includes two cups of cottage cheese, a Myoplex packet, peanut butter, and FLAX oil. MMMMMM
I feel huge; its all relative I know but damn........the results are sweet and after next week, I'll start cardio three times a week and drop the nasty bulking food. That's going to be hard I think.
I WILL POST PICS SOON.

I'm going to start running your same test eth/dbol cycle shortly-
Those results are VERY compelling - gives me even much more incentive/motivation if that's possible
Those dbol headaches of which you speak ... did you take anything specifically for them besides a diuretic?
The headaches were vile. I mean like my head was going to explode. My BP was 165/100 or something like that and it is now 122/82. I'm honest on this board and conventional wisdom states that I should have been in alot better shape when I started cycle. My theory is that my vessels were not loosened up when I first hit the gym and after a serious pump/ set my head would pound. It did subside with as the workout went on but it was with me for at least the first five weeks.
I've found that I no longer have them but I'm 1) off the dbol and 2) in much better shape from all the lifting. If this is your first cycle, I'd stay away from the dbol but I know it's tempting for the immediate gains and strength (and you feel really happy besides the headaches.
If you do decide to do it, watch your BP and be ready to drop it if the pain is too bad (back pumps OUCH!). Also, I found that if I git up and drank 32 ounces of water first thing in the morning, the headaches were less. Could be anecdotal as I only took them for four weks at 30mg/ed. Finally, IMHO, if you're not lifting REALLY hard yet, get at least a couple of weeks with good high calorie/protien diet BEFORE you start. I know how the motivation works: if I'm going to stick a 1 and 1/2 inch needle in my but twice a week I'm eating/sleeeping and lifting without a doubt.
Also, I may have mentioned this before but I can't get sore. I'll fatigue at the end of sets and such but sinceI started cycle, I just seem to grow without soreness. It's amazing. I'm really curious to see how much I can keep doing proper PCT. Keep us posted. Also, do youself a favor and take some before pics. I only have my 7-week photos to show and maybe a couple of pics of me fat in a bathing suit. We'll see.
