i didnt feel like makin a thread about this so im goin to ask it here. ed shots are startin to get annoyin just cause my shoulder/chest will be sore for days and it kinda gets in the way of my workout. if i shoot in my ass say on tuesday is it fine to shoot again in the same cheek like 2-3 days later, or do my receptors not take it in as well...

**chest6** · 02-19-2006, 04:19 PM

Scar tissue is the only thing U gotta worry about. There should be plenty of sites to rotate so you don't have to do that. Lats, quads, glutes, delts, bi's, tri's, chest

**lucabratzi** · 02-19-2006, 04:47 PM

i dont wann hit bi's or tri's cause i heard they suck. the sites i have been hittin are pecs, glutes, delt. i was gettin gun shy with my quads cause everytime its a bitch, yesterday i couldnt get the needle in, it felt like my muscle was rejecting it or something. but today i was like **** it and put it more on the side of my leg and just jabbed it in..ironically it was the easiest shot so far...
on another note, my metabolism is a bitch..if i dont eat till i puke i will lose weight. i've had a cold for a few days and was tryin to just pound food down regardless. but its hard to eat when u feel like shit. i was over 250 the other day and now im 248.5..whatever just goin to keep poundin it down...
and dam i feel like im on edge all the time, the only time i feel good is when im with my gf. its all good though....i have a feelin that my prop is underdosed though, cause my strength hasnt had any drastic increases and my sex drive is slightly raised...but i am gaining some nice weight so im not complaining..

**lucabratzi** · 02-20-2006, 06:29 PM

i dont know anymore guys. i dont know if me and steroids mix well. i try to listen to my body and how im feelin and not push myself to hard. and it just seems like im mad all the time, on edge, depressed/sad. i have a history of having a short temper and gettin depressed sometimes too, so the juice might just make it worse. if i keep feelin like this for another week or two, im just goin to stop the cycle and go into pct. my mind just keeps racing of shitty things, i cant sleep for shit and im overall tired and feel worn down. the one thing that keeps me happy through all of this is my gf, and now i cant even talk to her cause i feel like such shit/sad. for no reason to. i just wanna smash shit for no reason. idk. gonna keep my head up, keep training hard and eatin...

***Narkissos*** · 02-20-2006, 11:54 PM

Not cool man.. monitor it..

If you continue to have issues... quit and hit up PCT.

**IBdmfkr** · 02-21-2006, 12:06 AM

Don't let it mess with your mind. Get ahold of yourself for the last few weeks and come off. Obviously you either aren't strong enough mentally or emotionally to be using drugs. Best of luck.

**chest6** · 02-21-2006, 12:16 AM

Watch for it man. You may have to come off and just end it with your PCT. Let us know.

**palumbo** · 02-21-2006, 03:28 AM

Calm down whoady. It will be ok. Thats strange that your feeling that way, as much as you are. Are you having any other problems in your life? We are here for you bro.

**lucabratzi** · 02-21-2006, 07:32 PM

thanks guys, its really weird. like all day today i was in a great mood. but last night i was just freakin out. alot of stress was relieved when i told my gf that i was juicen. i swear she is the best, she was like whatever, she doesnt even care. as long as it doesnt effect our relationship. which i would never yell at her or take my frustration out on her. she was askin me questions about it, she was interested. i started explaining eveerything i was on and how it works...no pics yet, ima wait till im done with pct till the next time i post...

**lucabratzi** · 02-21-2006, 07:38 PM

and let me correct myself. im not mad/depressed all the time, but its up and down alot. so when i look back on it, it seems like im mad alot. its weird though i feel so good today, i was with my gf basically all day besides classes. and i think how did i get so depressed/sad as last night. im just goin to keep an eye on it, and not be stupid...

**chest6** · 02-22-2006, 02:11 AM

Consider yourself lucky with the gf not caring and that shes that supportive. You got yourself a keeper

Try to stay positive, it may be things just irritate you moreso than normal.

**lucabratzi** · 02-22-2006, 02:42 PM

wakin up was a bitch this morning, tired and sick as hell. had to skip my second class. took a nap, and when i woke up i was ****in starving, couldnt stop eating it was great...had 4 chicken wraps...hit legs today, it was good, strength was a lil up, intensity was very high. got 720lbs on the leg press for 7 which is good for me...weighed in at a hair over 250lbs...i think the test. e. may be starting to kick in, and i think that prop was garbage...tryin to work through this sickness. and eat like a mvthfker...

**lucabratzi** · 02-23-2006, 04:53 PM

today was shoulders traps. im switchin things up a lil in my workouts. for example, today for shoulders im substituting more pressing movement for flyes. usually i would do shoulder press with either db or barbell, db flyes, bent rows w/ db for rear delts, and upright rows. today i did shoulder press on the smith machine, arnolds, bent over rows w/ db, and upright rows. strength was good today, my traps are gettin noticably stronger. before cycle i would shrug 115's db at the end of my workout. today i was doin 150's for eight with room for more..weight is still at 250. im hoping for another 10-15 more lbs.

**Rictor33** · 02-24-2006, 08:32 PM

hey man I noticed the same thing.. That juice and me (atleast long term cycles) just don't match. The 1st cycle I was smoking pot a fair amount when I get upset and I didn't have girl problems or work-related stress and I was fine. The second cycle I had all of these things and I quit pot and basically felt horrible and started drinking away my problems (which lead to a lousy cycle). I have decided that from now on my cycles are going to be very short and composed of mostly orals and transdermals. I am 6' 207ish and I wouldnt mind gaining 10 or so lbs, but not much more after that, my body didnt carry 220 around very well and I was really lethargic and had high bp.

**Hellmaskbanned** · 02-25-2006, 01:40 PM

**lucabratzi** · 02-26-2006, 04:06 PM

gym was great today, did back and bi's. lifts def. increased now. weighed in at 251lbs which is good cause im inceasing. i can feel the test e. kickin in now. sex drive is up, kinda graphic but i get random boners throughout the day that are rock hard and wont go away for shit. i have a feelin the rest of the cycle is gonna be the shit...

**lucabratzi** · 02-27-2006, 04:06 PM

another great day in the gym, today was chest and tri's. strength has gone up. i benched 305lbs 5x's. which is the most i've done. still a lil sick, but its startin to fade, now i just have a cough..still tryin to pack down the food...weighed in at 250lb so its stayin stable. but i think it will start to come up again in the next few weeks, cause the test. e. is startin to kick now. plus i dont know about u guys but when i gain weight its always in spurts. like 10lbs in a few weeks then stable then gain again.

**lucabratzi** · 03-01-2006, 04:42 PM

yet another great lift today, all legs. weighed in at 251lbs. but stregth was great. calves were noticably stronger and sqauts were awsome. did 315 5x's. everything was feelin light. usually when i lift the weight off the rack for squats it feels heavy on my neck, but it was light as hell. cant wait to keep seeing gains.

**lucabratzi** · 03-06-2006, 05:52 PM

while highly dependent on your personality and stability in general, your feelings of depression, anxiety, or lack of control over your feelings will be the most noticeable as your hormones are fluctuating. That is, when your body is "coming up" and readjusting to all the juice you are taking and when you are coming down and readjusting with PCT. Fluctuating hormones when starting out is like going through puberty in 2 weeks - your body is having a hell of a time adjusting to all the juice. As your blood levels even out the emotional ups and downs will also even out more - though if you have a hysterical (unstable) personality to begin with it can be problematic.

A helpful tip for some, if you are feeling out of control, is to remind yourself that this is perfectly natural, given the circumstances. Your mind and body is simply reacting to a chemical imbalance that you started (i.e. you chose to start, you are in control). Reminding oneself that there are logical reasons underlying feelings of instability whlie on cycle can be helpful in regaining control over temporary flare ups.

Sounds like you are on your way to becoming a big person. Good job.

Also, since you talk often about the dumbell shrugs, have you used the barbell yet? Get 5 or 6 plates on each side and knock yourself out. That's always fun. Also, if doing dumbells, one thing I found stimulated even more growth was not keeping my arms straight at the top of the contraction - many bbs suggest that the shrug does not end when your shoulders come up as far as possible - instead at that moment try and lift the dumbell up the side of your body, not so much using your biceps, but trying to activate the lower portion of the traps. Your traps extend quite far down your back and do not just reside between your shoulders and head. ok, i typed too much.

nice lil read here...well so far my strength is still steadily goin up..weight is unfortunatly stayin the same...so i decided to turn to a sloppy bulk..i buy all my own food so the only shit in there is eggs, tuna, chicken breast, turkey,hamburger, breads, bagels, wraps..all relativly clean food. i now say **** it and just got all that shit but adding hungry man meals in there and fast food. plus i upped the dose to 750mg. i know most of u will say its a bad idea because its my first cycle and im kinda unstable. but i got the girl outa my life which relieves alot of stress and distractions, i was mad for a few days, but im lookin at life in a different way now...just be happy and nice to people and **** all the dickheads in my life....weird cuase i broke up with my girl and called her a couple days later to tell her that i still wanna be cool with her and not have harsh feelings. usually i would be like ok **** off, peace...

**chest6** · 03-23-2006, 07:56 PM

Instead of turning to a dirty bulk or upping it to 750, I think you should just add more clean calories. 1 more chicken breast here, 2-4 more eggwhites, 1/2 cup more brown rice here..more tuna here etc etc.
