I finally got me gear. Test E, Nolva, and L-Dex. Should I run the Nolva and L-dex throughout the cycle, or keep it on hand in case I need it?

I had to cut this workout short. The wife called and needed me to bring home some baby stuff. I didn't realize how weak my biceps are. I expected to lift more with my preacher curls. I wanted to get another set of squats, but I didn't get a chance. I'll throw in a few sets one day this week.

My test e cycle should start next Monday, I hope.

[gibferno]

Also, I should have done a lot more weight with my barbell shrugs. What I did was far to easy. I haven't done some of these workouts in a while.

No workout today, unfortunately. I'll try to get back and bi's tomorrow. My test e, nolva, l-dex, and pins should be here today, my buddy is bringing it to me.

[gibferno]

Nevermind, he can't bring it to me until tomorrow.

[gibferno]

I got my stuff. Took my first injection Saturday. Felt great.

[gibferno]

Workout yesterday was ok. Nothing special. I did legs and biceps. For some reason, I get dizzy/nauseous when I do legs and never finish my workout. I only did 14 sets, 7 on legs and 7 on bi's.

Forgot to post my workout for yesterday.

Didn't feel good. Had to cut the workout short. Got dizzy and sick feeling.

[gibferno]

I was going super deep with those squats. I usually to legal squats heavier.

[audis4]

at 225lbs, I would be think you would be able to do a LOT more than 80's on flat bench for more than 6 reps bro.

Keep it up though, try posting some pics so I know what we're working with. Also how's your diet?

[gibferno]

Yeah, I'm not very strong. I've been "working out" for a while, but not the right way. I've only been serious for a little while. Progress is good, but slow right now.

[gibferno]

Decent workout yesterday, by my standards. I know I'm weak!!
I'll post the exercises later.
Second injection of test e was this morning. It went well, shot in the left quad.

[audis4]

bro, I would have held of on the cycle. You told me you just started training hard. It takes lots of time with a solid diet to get where you want.

Hold off on anabolics until you have at least 2 years of solid training under your belt.

[gibferno]

I've been training hard for over a year. No, not two years, but I feel confident that I'm ready for this cycle. I waited a while before I made the decision and researched extensively. I know that I should be stronger in some areas. I'll get there. My motivation is outstanding.

And I didn't answer your question before, my diet is excellent. Only very rarely do I have a cheat meal. Maybe twice a month. I don't have any pictures right now, but I'll try to get some. I'm really doing this log for myself, to keep me accountable.

Great Stamina, even though my chest strength was not there.

[gibferno]

Well, I went to Memphis last weekend. I worked out Saturday morning at the gym in the hotel. Not much of a gym, but I got a half way decent workout.

This past Tuesday, I hit the Chest. Had a good workout. I felt great. Got 90's on decline bench. That's a personal best. My wife told me last night that my chest and arms looked much more muscular. I think I'm starting to feel the Test a little. I know it's not in full strength yet, but my chest day on Tuesday was awesome. I felt like I could lift a house. I've had 4 injections so far, alternating quads. All of them went well. I did hit a nerve on one, that was weird. And my buddy was watching me. hahaha he almost passed out.

[gibferno]

Forgot to mention that my daughter gave me tonsillitis. Bad time to be sick.

[gibferno]

had a good workout Friday, Saturday, and yesterday. My 6th injection was this morning. Should be feeling it 100% in the next week or so.

Chest is today. I'm excited.

[gibferno]

Awesome Chest workout yesterday. I felt great and didn't want to leave the gym!
