Hi All,
I was going to wait until the end of the cycle and post the results then but I figured I'd probably forget things so I'll post probably weekly.
I won't include my workouts because they are pretty much the same as detailed in my last two cycle results posts. I will mention anything I think is interesting or relevant and of course I'll happily mention notable personal bests.
So this thread will be mostly about the Cycle, the injecting (hassles and joys), any side effects. general info that might help anyone doing research for their own cycle and of course the results.
Stats:
5.6"
38 y/o
67.5 kgs (148 Lb)
Yes that's me in the avvy
BF <9%
2 x 1 month Dbol Cycles this year.
I've attached the same photos I posted at the end of my PCT for the last cycle so there is a point of reference for photos posted later.
Cycle:
Test E 500mg (250 twice weekly). 10 weeks unless I can get more and I'll make it 12 - 14 weeks. Did not frontload.
PCT: Nolvadex & Clomid
I'm not using Dbol or any other kicker because I've had enough water retention in the last 2 cycles and I'd like to give my liver a break from Oral AS. I have Decca but I've decided not to use it this time. It's enough of a hassle shooting every 3.5 days withot adding another compound.
I'm 2 weeks or 5 shots into my cycle. I've not told my wife. I told her about the oral cycles but I'm not sure what she would think about needles and I don't want to worry her. So I have to wait until she goes to the shops or take the kids somewhere and then I have to rush getting everything together and finish up before she gets back. The other day she was going nowhere so I had to sneak all the stuff into the bathroom and try to get it done in the time it normally takes to have a crap.
I won't detail the injecting routine because it's been done a million times before on this forum. Or just look up Anthony Roberts guide from the homepage of steroid dot com (Change the letters dot to a full stop).
The first Inj was painless and easy. The only annoying bits were how long it took to draw the oil from the amp. You think its not drawing but it is. It just takes a long time. I don't want to heat the oil because that would add more to the limited time I have. I was using 23g to draw and shoot and a 5cc syringe. For the 5th injection I bought 21g to draw and larger 10cc syringe which kind of has more pulling power so makes the drawing easier.
Twice I forgot to draw back to check for blood. Really stupid. Afterwards my heart was pumping like mad I was worried I'd hit a vein and my heart was going to explode.
I shot glutes the 1st 4 times and quad the 5th time. Glutes are better for me but it's really hard to reach around there and try to draw to check for blood. You'd think you could do it with one hand but it's difficult. When I'm reaching around I feel like the needle is bending and that scares the crap out of me.
Glutes give very little pain in for the next couple of days. If you had not shot you probably would not even notice it. The quad shot (outer right about half way up) was brilliant. Just as painless as the glute but much easier to aspirate and inject. There was a little more bood than the glute but not much and a band aid sorted it out. The next day was fine but the day after (today) it hurts like a bugger when I walk. I have to try not to limp or wince when my wife is around. I can live with it it's just annoying, I look down and expect to see a tennis ball sized bruise. Much prefer the glutes for after effects.
So 2 weeks in and I'm only up 1 kg but I expected that because I've been eating according to my appetite and the test should take another 2 weeks to kick in. Today I've started taking the diet seriously though so the next week should be interesting. Currently 68.4kgs.
I started this cycle with lower weights than the end of my last cycle because I've had a quiet 6 weeks and lost some size and strenth. So I'm not close to any personal bests yet but I've been building up steadily. I know the test is not supposed to take effect yet but I'm getting some brilliant pumps.
I did quite well from my two dbol cycles and I'm happy with my gains but I'm really excited about this one. If I could put on just 10Lb then I think I would be over the moon with how I look but I think I'll put on even more. 75kgs is the target at this point.
If I do get more Test to extend the cycle does anyone have any thoughts / experience about upping to 750mgs for the last 4 weeks?
Anyway. That's enough for now. There's a big thundersorm nearly on top of us and I'm worried we'll get a power cut and I'll lose all of this. (happens a lot).
Should be an exciting cycle. Hope ya'll will hop on board for the ride.
Cheers
