Short Bio/Stats:
Age: 29
Height: 5'8
Starting Weight: 173.5 Current: 179
Body Fat: around 15%? (Will post a picture for estimate in the proper section and update this if incorrect)
Cycle Goal: Size,Strength (Original i know)
Training Experience: Working out for over 3 years but have gotten more serious in the past year or so.
Cycle: 400mg per week. 200mg injected Thurs Morning and 200mg Sunday Night. .5mg anastrozole Mon/Wed/Fri. Started Cycle November 5th. and I am looking to cycle for 12 weeks.
About me/My situation: I have felt fatigued, depressed, had no drive (in more than one area) for the past 4-5 years. No matter how well I dieted or how much I trained it was incredibly difficult to gain muscle or lose weight or stomach fat really. I had skeleton arms and a abnormally huge belly and from the looks of me you would laugh if I told you I had been working out for years. Here is a pic at around 185 lbs. and the next is me at 155lbs 2 1/2 months into TRT

Anyways, I went to my family Doctor and told him I thought I might have low t, he told me "no way, not at your age. you just need to change your lifestyle and diet/exercise." even after I told him I have been working out/exercising and eating well for years. But he still gave me a blood test and the results came back as Total T: 162! He then said that I should wait a couple of months and test again to see if my levels come back up naturally. I did so and months later the results came back Total T: 138. He then sent me to a specialist who also told me to wait to get tested again in a few months etc. I did so and the results came back basicly the same Total T: 144. So, long story short I am now on TRT. 200mg of Test Cyp. every week and .25mg anastrozole Mon/Wed/Fri. I got prescribed a 10ml bottle of Test Cyp and then had an appointment about a week after I had it filled to show me how to inject etc. and for some reason they gave me another prescription to another pharmacy and basicly I have a 10ml Watson Test Cyp I havent touched yet along with about 5-6ml of extra Test Cyp from the new compound pharm that I have saved up along with my regular 200mg a week I am prescribed. I had my last appointment Nov. 2nd and started my cycle (400mg a week) on Nov. 5th. injectining 200mg on Thursday morning and 200mg on Sunday night. My next appointment is March 2nd so I think from what I have read I can get away with a 12 week cycle and have my normal levels back to what they should be by then. (Correct me if I am wrong please! Last thing I need is to get in trouble with my Doc and have them stop treating me) I am also upping the anastrozole to .5mg Mon/Wed/Fri because I had borderline high e2 with 200mg a week taking .25 mg M/W/F. (Let me know if upping to .5 M/w/f is going overboard) Any other questions about my situation or anything I might have missed feel free to ask, I am happy to answer and any/all opinions are welcomed.

I know the fat grams are high, I am thinking about cutting the mayo off the sandwitch and maybe cutting out 1/2 an avocado. Let me know what you guys think, I know this is where I am going to need the most help. To be clear, I do not mind adding a little extra fat because now that I am on TRT cutting/losing weight is very easy for me to do, and I want to get as much size as possible during this cycle.
Let me know if I left any info out or if you guys have any questions about anything, I will be happy to answer. I am making this post for a personal log and for you guys to give me advice/criticism and for people in the future to learn from my good doings and mistakes as well. I am going to post a few pictures to show how far I have come so far. I know that I am by no means even close to my maximum natural potential and I do not pretend to be. The reason I decided to do this cycle is because I am going to be on TRT for the rest of my life and I have access and will continue to have access to extra testosterone to run cycles in the future and I have been on TRT long enough to know enough about injecting, side effects, e2, anastrozole, etc. The way I see it is why not run a cycle in my position? I am basicly running the same risk almost as I am doing TRT anyways, I might as well do a "blast" every once in awhile as long as it doesn't show up on my blood work at my Dr. appointment. I will be getting blood tests for total t/free t/e2 ultra sensitive/hematocrit in 3 weeks to make sure everything is in check. Here is a picture taken November 2nd and a picture taken tonight, and a picture taken right after my last workout (full pump etc.) The first 2 are taken with no pump (obviously). I am almost 3 weeks into cycle. I will post some body/back/leg pics tomorrow. Thanks in advance everyone and feel free to comment whether its negative or positve.
