so ive decided to make a log, so i can look back, and so if im doing anything wrong there will be lots of help available.
first off my starting stats:
20 yrs old
5'7"
186bs
14% bf
my cycle:
1-12 test enanthate 500mgs/week
1-12 aromasin 12.5mgs eod
14-18 clomid 100/50/50/50
14-18 novla 40/40/20/20
my goal:
put on some lean mass while maintaining and or lowering bodyfat percentage. (lean lean bulk)
im starting this log at 3 weeks in because ive been busy with life lately and havent really had a chance to write this all out but ill do a summary of my first few weeks.
week 1:
first pin was in my right glute, used a 23g 1". injection was slow and steady, small amount of bleeding, i was pretty nervous but overall it went well. no pain until the next day, and it was absolutely unbearable (virgin muscle, shaky hand). i was taking ibuprofen and sitting on a heat pad for the whole week haha.
next shot was in my left quad (vastus lateralis). used the same size needle and it was a good injection. the whole quad idea freaked me out for some reason. PIP started immeadiatly after injection, i felt tight and sore. i did a few sets of bodyweight squats and then had a long hot shower and massaged the muscle. the pain was terrible once again for 5-7 days, making me miss my leg workout.
week 2:
started feeling flu like symptoms (drowsy, cold sweats, loss of appetite, tired, fever) so i decided to dive into the research again and see what was happenening to me. after a few hour of researching i found an article eplaining the aromasin can cause these symptoms at higher doses, so i foolishly dropped the aromasin. felt better the next day and stayed off the AI until recently.
my 3rd shot mas in my right delt. a little hard to aspirate but all said and done i liked the site alot better than my quad or glute. i also used a 5/8 25g pin. no pain until the next day and one again terrrible. couldnt lift my arm. but at this point as long as i could squat i was happy haha.
4th shot was in my left delt and it was very similar to my other det injection. same size pin, slow injection. except i went through a vein so when i pulled the pin out there was a small pop noise and lots of blood. PIP was rough but i found for the smal muslces it only lasted about 4 days instead of a week.
week 3:
so this week i did my first shot in my right delt again. i took a 10lb dumbbell that i have layig aroud and did some side lateras and presses rite after injections to work the oil in a bit, and the next day, small amount of pain but not much at all really. i think my left delt was more sore from last weeks injection haha. after posting about my AI and feeling sick in this forum i was told to get back on, and so i did. i got back on monday with my first pin and also took it today, no symptoms so far. might have just had some sort of a bug before...
i havent felt much yet, maybe a small amount of intensity in the gym, but thats just me wating to kill it haha. ive gained about 7-8lbs but thats because of my diet. ive upped my caloric intake and competely recalculated my TDEE. i take about 3500-4000 cals in. and i also supplemented a weight gainer in. Universal real gains. its pretty clean low fat, low sugar lots of carbs and protein. so i just take it once a day. post workout on training days, before bed on non training days. overall im liking the diet, lots of clean quality foods, the odd greasy cheat meal haha and its looking good so far.
tomorrow i pin my left delt again. hopefully all goes well and the pain is minimal. im also training delts tomorrow so my plan is to pin pre workout and really work that oil around in the gym. ill post some pics tonight or tomorrow. my avatar pic was 1 week before my start date at 186lbs and roughly 14% bf, might have been a tad lower. now im about 192-193lbs. bit of extra water and probably fat in the last 3 weeks. but i need the calories, my workout are intense.
