It has been one week since the beginning of my first cycle. Last Wednesday, I took 500mg of Test Eth. Yesterday, I took 250mg of Eth and will do another 250mg shot on Friday (and will continue that pattern for the rest of the cycle).

Stuff I've noticed:

- I've gained about seven pounds this week, about one pound per day.

- I feel good, confidence is good (seems higher than usual)

- I seem to get tired quicker in the gym. Haven't really seen any increases in strength

- Lifting feels soooo good. The pumps in the arms and shoulders are amazing.

- When I do straight-leg deadlifts, my lower back seems to hurt even at light weight. I've heard something about people complaining about 'lower back pumps', maybe that's it.

- Libido seems about the same, pretty high.

- Small increase of back acne



I told my girlfriend about my usage this last Sunday. She didn't take it that well, and made me promise this would be my last cycle. Originally, I had planned on taking 10 weeks of 500mg/weekly Test Eth. Since I'm trying to only do one cycle, I think I might do one that's longer and incorporate some cutters at the end... suggestions?
