"Journey to the Darkside" a gear virgins tale

[jarrett]

hey man it was decent enough with now whattman filter!! lol

[majorpecs]

Allright Bro's.....traditional clomid therapy is over in a couple days..but I'm going to jump back up to 100mg and go another week with it....I'm not recovering as fast as I thought I would, but it's coming!!

Damn broke leg is really hindering me, but I'm fighting through it!! Manuvering around the gym on crutches gets trying at times, especially trying to move a 45lb plate from one spot to another. I don't feel as though I've lost a thing except for maybe some of the tightness that I had. Masswise I'm about at the same size as when I came off.

Pics will come soon...I am off the crutches next Thursday, then I get a walking cast for 2 more weeks.........THEN I'M BACK!

[ripsid]

major man look at the situation in a positive, at least you can still work your upper body! May do more restrictive excersizes. What has the rebound been like with the clomid, I know you said you were emotional. I'm very curious about what that hole ordeal is like.
I may have my girl talked into the whole gear situation. I did it in a funny way, "Hey you wouldn't mind sticking me in the ass with a pin every monday would you?!"

[majorpecs]

One last update bros.....it's been a terrific journey and I can't wait until my next. Thanks for stayin with me the last few months as I stepped over to the darkside. All your comments and help was appreciated.

Clomid therapy will be over in 6 more days...I extended it a few days because I felt I needed it. Acne has increases slightly since I've started clomid, mainly on my shoulders and back....huge loads have been forthcoming also, my wife is like wtf..hehehe....Emotions still run the gamut sometimes, but I've learned what not to watch on tv to prevent tears from springing up.

I get off the crutches Tuesday into a walking cast....gonna get back into my cardio routine and get ready for that last set of after pics I said I would post.

LOL.... I think there is a differnet forum for that...

Glad all is good. Sorry about the leg. Wow - this is something you will remember for a long time. All your pictures over the next few years will reflect your hard work as I think you are hooked. not just on AAS but on the healthy lifestyle and the constant drive to improve your health, body, mind, and have fun will doing it. That what I am hooked on. It is something to do and it is fun and benifits me all around. I am a happier person and hell - I could be spending my money and time on a lot of other worthless things. Atleast the time/money/energy benifits me. I am going to miss this thread - looked forward to seeing your progress. Good luck in the future!

[BIG TEXAN]

Well Major....it's been fun logging on here damn near everyday to see how your journey is going. Now I'm on my new journey and hope to keep a journal as good as yours. I'm glad to hear you're back in the gym and soon that leg of yours will be back 100% and thing's will get better.

[majorpecs]

Thanks guys.....and I do plan on keeping another journal of my next cycle that I plan on starting in August or September....next journal will be even better!!

And you know what - I didn't even want to watch it to begin with and I got all wrapped up in that movie - emotionally. I hate clomid - but it worked - atrophy went away in a few weeks - just kinda sucks being down/emotional most of the time.

LMAO aww poor bastard. Was that in the movie theatre? LOL Could get alotta chicks crying infront of them!

Clomids emotional aspects got me so intrigued, being an aspiring actor... I could only imagine the beneficial new emotional lvl I could acheive on a 1 gram dose of clomid LOL I already cry if I step on a bug and thats without clomid.

now that's a use for clomid i haven't thought about yet.....hehehe....

[Foxy Sphinx]

Ya its a use ive been pondering for some time Major. Id like to use it for auditions cause thats when its tuffest, when ur in compeititon with dozens if not hundreads or thousands of others, you gotta be able to deliver every ounce of emotion you can, they ask you to cry on spot, you gotta be able to do it in 5 seconds flat or your outta there!

[BlocRoc]

Damn

Just finished reading the WHOLE THREAD....WHoa!

Now to see some final pics....

Great JOB!

[BigGreen]

Major,

From the looks of another thread floating around this board, you're leaning strongly towards using insulin for the next go around. Is that actually the case? So are we to assume you already have another cycle planned, or is this just the brainstorming session? I'll be looking forward to the sequel. Oh, and one more question, as you get farther and farther away from your last shot, how is recovery holding up, broken leg and all? Is the attitude still there in the gym, are you dragging ass, or what? I'd be interested to hear on this one, as, like you said, i think the post-cycle atmosphere is all too often absent from member journals.

[BIG TEXAN]

BigGreen....I don't think he's planning on running insulin for his next cycle, he's doing some research on it for the new updates being made for AR.

Major...so how's it going? The leg doing any better and I'm curious to know how you're holding up now post cycle as well.

[jarrett]

120ml prop. 60ml winnie, 100 ct 50mg winnie tabs, cytomel ,dnp ,clen , 40ml eq,10ml humalin R


who wants to put him a cycle together

[chinups]

PICS???

[majorpecs]

I admit...I tried to kill this thread before post cycle recovery was over. And honestly guys, I think that I've actually made some gains since I've been off the gear. The end of my cycle coincided with my broken leg....I was out of the gym the first week I was off cycle. I eat about 40g of glutamine every day since I've been off...recently finished 1 month of clomid therapy, and haven't lost any size at all.....the only thing I have seemed to lose is a little of my vascularity which I think is due to the fact that I cannot do any cardio with this cast on my leg, and I've jacked up the calories since I've been off to make sure I maintain. I had no acne flareup from the clomid therapy, only side affect I experienced on the clomid was the damn emotional roller coaster, and one episode of seeing some tracers.

Big Green, I am actually researching insulin for my own personal knowledge. I am not going to do the insulin faq for the board since I have no personal experience with it yet. I still haven't decided if it's something I want to try next time or not......I still have alot of research to do.

I did get in a new care package from my friendly neighborhood Research Technology dealer....120ml prop. 60ml winnie, 100 ct 50mg winnie tabs, cytomel ,dnp ,clen , 40ml eq,10ml humalin R.....I'll probably get a few bottles of enanthanate just in case I decide that the prop isn't working for me......I will def. keep a journal on my next cycle, which I plan on starting in either July or August.

Chinups...I will take some post clomid therapy pics this weekend and post them up for all to see....STAY SWOLE BROS!

In my opinion, and I'll probably get a lot of dissenting votes here, this was probably the best thing for you. Not the broken leg, of course (unless you owed me money) but the time away from the gym. I actually intend to take the first week post cycle off from the gym. In the long run, I believe it's better for you, as those seven days away from the stress of lifting will allow you body to more easily adjust to or accept the "shock" of suddenly being relatively catabolic, or at the least, most un-anabolic . I may utilize some active recovery (pushups, pullups and frog jumps) but leaning towards taking the time off.

[majorpecs]

BigGreen, after experiencing it this way....I do believe that that first week off was beneficial. All the cortisol that was coursing as soon as the AS left my system seems not to have affected my muscle mass at all. I am sure it will be implemented in all my future cycles.

[TheyoungJason]

majorpecs... just read this whole diary... great fucking work!!!!! post some pics as soon as you can.

[majorpecs]

I'll have the pics up tommorow...I have taken them, and just need to shrink them a little bit.....

[majorpecs]

Allright.....pics are up....http://anabolicreview.com/vbulletin/...926#post475926

[TheyoungJason]

jesus christ dog you look fucking huge!!!. great improvements from the beginning and good drop in bf from the last pics.

[majorpecs]

Thanks youngJason!

[BIG TEXAN]

Major, Green I agree about the week off post cycle. It does seem to help the body cgange and also gives yo a well deserved rest. I have done this in the past and plannned on it for this cycle. Major...saw the pics and looking good bro! Looking forward to seeing what you put together for your next go around.

[BigGreen]

I just checked on the pics (don't know how I didn't stumble across them before) and, as I think you said once before, it is apparent that you went from a "big guy" to a "big muscular guy" appearance wise, and there exists a huge disparity of imagery between those terms. Now, as much as you may enjoy tossing on layers of size, I'm all for your next cycle being a pure cutter, even though, if I'm doing my math right, it wouldn't wrap up until thanksgiving or xmas....not the ideal time for a cutting cycle exactly. However, if I were you I'd be damn tempted (especially given the bodyfat drop that went with the muscle gain on your first cycle) to strip it away and come face to face with exactly what's left under the remaining fat. Just my $.02.

You know....I've been tossing this around since I got off my last cycle. I really would like to do a pure cutter, but I really would hate to not take my gains to their full potential. I'm thinking about doing this.....another 18 week cycle full bulking.....then taking a month or two to recover hpta as much as possible, then just do a run of winny tabs for about 6-8 weeks to keep my muscle as I maybe cycle in some DNP and some massive cardio to cut down..........suggestions anyone? And thanks for your .02 BigGreen..you are a smart guy and I respect your opinions!

[TheyoungJason]

honestly dog I think a combo of a bulking then cutting cycle worked very well for you. I think after another similar cycle to your last one you would be even more insane and probly better off then splitting it up... but that is good idea just to run winny for 6-8 weeks after a bulkin cycle, but do it with another fat burner like T3 or primo. Good luck!

If Anyone can do it,I can see you can, Right On!!! Stay @ It Bro,We are All Cheering,

[majorpecs]

Well guys....I haven't been able to weigh myself the past 6 weeks due to the cast on my leg. Good news is that I am getting it cut off this afternoon and will be able to finally weigh myself and get back into my cardio regimen. I do know that I haven't lost any size at all....strength has decreased at all either....I'll post an update in a day or two with my new weight and I'll redo my measurements.

[BIG TEXAN]

Hey Major, glad to hear the news. Now you can really get back to hitting it. Doc say how soon you can hit legs hard? In a few weeks I might head up your way just to BS with ya. All depends on how my schedule goes. I talked with my guy about your house and he said he'd take a look but I haven't seen him in a few days so no news yet. I hope to have some pics soon ( I know, I keep saying that, evertime I have some money for ma digi camera the wife blows it on something else).

[ripsid]

Great to hear that about your hoof bro! I know that wasn't the way you wanted to finish off your cycle, but now you get to jump back in and start the prep for "Another Journey to the Darkside- a Juice Sluts Relapse" Or "Journey to the Darkside - Reload"

I like that one.....my next Journal is going to be: "Journey to the Darkside...Reloaded"

Doc said the break line is still visible, but is healing nicely. He said I could begin leg workouts slowly, leg presses, leg extensions..he said NO squats though. And he said to keep it light on the leg extensions, but hell, at least I'll be able to pump some blood into my quads again....I look quite funny with one big and one small calf....I'm really thinking about jumping back on in July or August....

[BIG TEXAN]

You'll recover from the break soon enough. Personally I'd give your body the full time to recover from being on as long as you were. As soon as that legs back to 100% it won't be long before you'll gain back whatever size you've might have lost off of it. Stay focused and good luck to ya bro.

[Gpimpin]

I think its great to see someone so pumped up to hit the gym and improve their muslce gains. Keep us all posted on how well your training goes. I'm currently on an enanthate /deca route, working real well, but i feel as though im sorta missing out on something, anyone have any idea's?

G

[majorpecs]

The BIGGEST thing that most people miss out on.....is DIET....if your diet isn't spot on, you won't gain like you are capable. If you know 100% that you are dedicated to your diet and it can't be improved, then there may be other variables.....let me know and good luck!
