Average Guy started Cycle. Am I out of my mind?

[Alberto305]

Hey whats up? I'm a 23 year old male in Miami, Florida. I'm a good lucking guy but have always wanted to be in shape and feel very confident about myself. I recently started my first cycle (I'm now entering week 3). I have a lot of friends who have been on them and have sick bodies. As posted previously I'm using Deca and Test. I'm shooting once a week. Mondays (test 250mg 1cc), Thursdays (Deca 250mg 1cc). I'm working out a lot in the gym. 5 days a week for about hour in a half to two hours. Usually I do about 30-40 Minutes of cardio and the remaining time in training. I never really had a muscualr frame or body before. Obviously working out the last few weeks and being on a strick diet I am starting to see results. My problem area which is my stomach (lovehandles) have gone done alot and the shape of my body is completely changing. My chest is tighter and bigger. Also my arms finally decided to grow and show a little something. I've lost weight but gained muscle mass. My only issues I've had so far were the normal. I got 1 Varicose vein on my inner thigh and my glutes have been very soar after taking the shots. My last shot was the worst so far but nothing too big. I shot Test and the next day my glute got soar, a little swollen and had bruises. This went away the following day. I feel great doing all of this but sometimes I get a little confused or feel insecure that I might not be doing enough. I have friends who have been on this and have awesome results. I have read a lot on this site and a few others that you will start to notice change in your body in the beggining of the first week. Sorry this was a bit long but I wanted to post to see if any new-bies go through this?

wow i think u may get more responses if we didnt have to read so much ..it was a nice story though.. first ? what do u mean 1cc of test and 1 cc of deca. test on monday and deca on thurs?? what is it dosed at? how many mg?? second what do u think a strict diet is? post it!

[ChuckLee]

Yes mate, it is in the correct forum.
What kind of test are you using?
Do you follow a standard injection protocol? it sound you're moving the pin while injecting.
Then we wanna hear what are your stats, weight, height and bf% ?
We need em in order to help you in the best manner.

[nowdenlid]

you have only been working out a few weeks?

do you know what a pct is?

[longhorn814]

how about some stats for staters? taking steroids b/c your friends are taking them is stupid..what is your diet? how many cals you eat daily and how many come from pro/carb/fat? do you know what post cycle therapy is? do you understand how steroids affect your body? did you do any research or just start injecting b/c your friends were?

[mkrulic]

steroids are not majic pills. all the gains you are going to get from this cycle you could have got naturally. you are risking impotence for nothing.

[mkrulic]

I think he's doing 2 shots and yes, one shot a week could do it if left on too long. had a friend that was doing hrt like that and after 4 months it was all bad

[Peducho0113]

Yeah I know. It was a little long huh? Sorry about that. Its the first time I've ever done this thread thing. 250mgs BTW of both. Diet pretty much has been Lots of protien. Grilled chicken, fish, tuna, etc, etc and lots of greens. Veggies, Salads and tons of water. Thats been basically it.

Thanks for posting a reply. I'm actually not doing the shot on myself. I have a buddy of mine do it for me (in the glutes area). I'm 5'8 weight 185. 35 waist. I will have BF% and all the other stats soon.

I dont?

Although I understand your response, NO I did do my research. I don't/didn't start my cycle because anyone is doing it. I did a lot of research about it but obviously going through the process actually brings up other questions which is why I decided to join this forum. In no way am I trying to anger anyone or receive any negative feedback. I am fully aware of what I'm doing and also what the side effects, etc maybe. Thanks for worrying though. I really appreciate it.

[logen32]

defiantly look into some post cycle compounds because all that hard work will diminish.

There's a whole PCT form, start there.

[mx3]

My first advice to you would be train naturally for a while but whats done is done. We need actual calorie protein and fat amounts for your diet and bf% is critical. also you wont see results from long esters until wks 4-6 and your dosages are low so I wouldn't expect a whole lot but it differs from person to person and you will hear mixed opinions on that. you should shoot each compound twice a wk to maintain stable blood levels, personally I would up your dosages. you need to search the word pct it is very important. and we need more info.

I will do that. Thanks a lot for the advice.

[Alberto305]

I will do that. Thanks a lot for the advice.

Alright. I researched and figured out what PCT was. Before starting my cycle I was doing basic things in the gym. I was doing lots of Cardio, and Abs exercises. I went from 230 to 185. In regards to lifting I did very minimal lifting. It seemed as though the more I lifted or even the more reps I did I wasn't growing which is why I decided to start the cycle.

what part of it didnt you understand? I asked if you did research..you say you did, but didnt even know what PCT was? Do you know why you need to do PCT now? what about your diet? How many calories do you eat everyday? How many of those calories come from protein/carbs/fat? these are basic things you should have some idea of..

I'm interested in this information as well...

seems like another case of someone thinking steroids are magic.

Lol working my ass off is how it happens. I was never under the impression that it was a "magic pill". Regardless I'm getting results with what I'm doing which have exceeded my expectations. Just thought to post to interact with people who have done cycles but I guess the roids affects are true...people do turn into angry assholes

[kingwilliam]

I don't think anyone is angry. I believe that people with a tremendous amount of experience are expressing their concern for someone who has begun their very first cycle. PCT is by far the most important part of the process and if you had done your research I think you would have noticed that everyone on here is VERY serious about it.

I am on my first cycle right now and I researched for months before I took the plunge.

Congrats on your results...its definitely a good feeling to look in the mirror and smile at yourself, just make sure you're not wasting your time and money!!!!!

My advice is to listen to the experienced users on here because they have been thru it already.

Check your PMs.

I have a friend thats taking 400mg/week of test, and he doesnt even work out. Nor does he barely eat...and he has no idea what a pct is.
suffice to say, he looks like shit.
