I did a prop only cycle, and I was really happy with my gains. I am almost done with PCT so this is the real me. I only lost a pound or two since I have gotten off. I am 193lbs at 5'11 with 13% body fat. Ill give more stats if anyone wants to know. Here they are, I tried to make the same posses. The second and the fourth are my before pics.
Here is before and after, and a after lat shot. I didnt do a before... And I never knew I had veins in my back, till now. Sweet!
And I love the lighting in my kitchen.... ill take a new pic of my quads tonight and post that too. but thats all for now :wg:
nice shots! Looking good bro!!!
Prop 100mg EOD for 14 weeks, should have stopped at week 10, I didnt see hardly any gains past 10
We'll have to call you Monster Sparkle soon, if you keep growing like that.Quote:

I've read many posts in which people state that at week 10 they stop growing. I'm trying to figure out whether it's homeostasis that's causing the growth to stop or is it that people gain extra lean body mass, do not adjust thier eating to to compensate for growth and cease to grow by week ten due to not increasing calories/protein. The jury's still out on that one.
looking good

Look great nice gains. Did you do anything to ease the sting with the Prop inj? What amount did you run it at?
what kind of prop did you use??? Good gains by the way
BreakingThrough- I do 2 presses and then 2-3 latteral raises for my delts. reps 8-15. Hell I went 95s 15x last week for military DBs, I was pumped. And thanks for the compliment
mark956101957- I didnt use anything, and it hurt like a b!tch. 100mg EOD
palequail- I was actually using Ttokkyo the whole time.... :eek: NO more ghetto painfull mex stuff for me...
Those are some big lats, dude... Anything you wish you did differently (besides eat more)?
You look awesome bro.....keep growing like that and you'll be in my weight class in a year or so.
Hell of a great job bro......very impressive!
All the best.
DB
about to start 100eod of prop myself, with some fina as well, i hope i blow up as much as you did..........NICE!
Thanks for the kind words fellas! If I were to change anything, I would do more sets... my recovery was amazing, I was hardly ever sore. Now that I am o natural I am sore for days again. And I would have ate more...
Good looking gains bro. Make sure you do what you can to hang on to it.
Same here... I am now hitting about 11 weeks time off since my last 16 week cycle... but to be honest, after 9th or 10th week, it was just 100% waste of gear to continue. Myself I had early fast results and it slowed down tremendously after week 7 and towards the end I was loosing weight because of testosterone burn off of body fat...Quote:

Agreed. Also when I was near the end of my cycle I developed achy tendens in my arms... This lingered through most of my time off which was up to 11 weeks, then I took a 500 mg testosterone enanthate this week plus continuing my tongkat ali and strange thing... this time the tendon/elbow joint pain went away over night and is staying gone... I am doing testosterone enanthate and Methyl 1-test at same time and **** I am doing like I did on my last cycle... very fast and early weight gains... gained 5 lbs in the last 5 days.Quote:

Do you suggest a test only cycle for a first timer like me or should I stack it with Deca?
Id just run test, you will get gains ;) FWIW I will never run deca, I will run EQ. I plan on doing a small cycle in the summer of prop and mast for 8 weeks. THen after that I will do another 14 week one and throw EQ in there and see if I can eat enough the whole way through. On a side note, im feeling better. Just had my shake and 4 waffels... :)
Great cycle. Don't overtrain now that your off. You'll feel like sh*t and lose gains. Train moderately and eat sensibly. I'm a big fan of fina as are others on here. Try throwing that in with your prop. I get much more from fina than EQ and it's a lot cheaper.
wheels??? great shoulder improvement.
