[ranging1]

weeks 1-12 test ethanthate 500mg weekly, split

im continueing to see strength increases every week

BUT my initial weight gains have slowed

first 3 weeks i gained 15 pounds, OBVIOUSLY i am aware alot of this was water weight

in my fifth week i havent gained weight but rather LOST weight?

BUT continue to rise in strength

this is my progess, u can look at my log in results section if ur interested

dips added 18kg, 12 reps
decline bench press: 70kg 12 reps
machine squat 90kg

neally 5 WEEKS IN
weight 94.4kg, bf% unknown
strengths
dips added 36kg, 10 reps
decline bench press: 115kg 10 reps
machine squat 160kg deep
sqaut: 152kg 10 reps, stopped squat since legs are before my deadlift day
45 degree leg press: 480kg 12 reps,
barbell shoulder press infront: 75kg 12 reps
lat rows: 117kg 12 reps
barbell shrugs: 120kg, 15 reps
deadlift: 190kg, 12 reps
dumbell rows each arm: 50kg, 12 reps
calve raise using 45 degree leg press: 320kg, 12 reps
leg curls 96kg 20 reps, gym doesnt go heavier

obviously other lifts have gone up but im not goig to list them all

MY WORRY IS, that alot of my strength increases are only due to the high levels of testerome in me

obviously ive gained muscle, BUT do people think alot of my strength gains could be SOLELY from testerome?

ive been worrying only in the last weeek or 2, because bodyweight has gone down, but strength just keeps going up and doesnt seem to make sense

[liftpro]

you should list your diet program too so we can compare with your other stats.

[ranging1]

diet consists of between 500-600 carbs, 300 grams protein, fat between 50-80 grams daily

im just abit of a worry wart since this is my first cycle

[marcus300]

You have gained 15lbs so far, which is great. The slight weight loss is because of the dbol being stopped in week 4 and the water weight leaving your system, a few people react in that manner with dbol. Are you re-adjusting your diet as you gain the mass? whats your diet look like?

[ranging1]

yes every week ive been increaseing calories by 200 since reccomended

ive been thinking that about the dbol because the dbol really did blow me up like a puffer fish i thought

diet looks like this
BREAKFAST: 4 cups wheat cereal, litre skim milk, tin of tuna, glass of juice with creatine
preworkout 1 scool no xplode
post workout: gatorade(sports drink) and whey protein shake
lunch: 3-4 cups rice with 2 chicken breasts
snack 1: wholegrain sandwich with either turkey, chicken breast, fat free cheese or tuna
snack 2: same
dinner is wateva gf cooks, usualy either a carb source like cous cous, rice, bread, pasta, beans etc with a protein source like beed strips, steak, chicken, roast etc
before bed is skim milk with scoop protein

dinner has to stay this way since dont wanna argue with gf, tried telling once that i ddint want her food, didnt get sex for a week, so wanna avoid this
BUT she cooks decently healthy, nothing to fatty

ive doen math and it adds up to 500-600 carbs, 300 protein, 50-80 fat
i leave a little variation because of what dinner could be

[ninesecz]

So you are up to 3800calories right now and still not gaining?

[ranging1]

no no, my questions is do u think ALOT of my strength gains are related to the 500mg weekly of testerome
since ive never used steroids i dont know exactly how much they can effect ur strength

just abit of a worry wart

[stpete]

I say yes. Strength gains are definetely attributed to shooting test.

[liftpro]

it doesnt sound like you have any reason TO worry about buddy. strength gains are a GOOD thing. weight flux was prob due to water gain as marcus suggested. 15lbs is great for 5 wks in. keep the calories high (and clean) youll be good to go.

...btw, how the fk can you eat tuna for breakfast?
thatd be the last thing i wanna smell first thing in the a.m. (insert joke here)

lol thanks guys
glad to know im gettin somewhere, yea im thinkin its water weight fluctuating coz strength is still going up

lol its tuna with tomato, its got like 1 extra carb per tin hahahaha, so its worth it for flavour
