Well, at least the beginning was screwed up.

I used to be younger and stronger and heavier (and better looking!). As I age, I was finding that I was running up against a ceiling, and it was a lower ceiling than when I was younger. My guess is that test levels are lower than when I was 28-30 (which is when I was at my stongest). I thought I might cycle.
I had a surprise in store for me, however.
My cycle was intended to be 10 weeks of Sustanon, 600 mg weekly, 30 mg D-bol daily for the first few weeks. The sustanon came in a high dosage UGL form, 300 mg/ml. The effects came on rather quickly, but there were some adverse effects, too. The injection sites swelled, red, hot to the touch, and became so painful I could hardly walk, sit down, stand up, or climb in and out of bed. I also felt "off" and was not wanting to workout or eat. This obviously had its consequences in terms of strength and weight gain. By the way, it turned out not to be an infection, but just my body's response to this particular gear. Each injection site cleared up after about a week or so, but it looked grotesque. The glutes swelled up so bad you could see it when I was wearing pants!
I am now using test C, 600 mg/week, pinning x2 (300 mg each).
Here it is:
Week 1 Sust 300, 600 mg (300 mon, 300 Th); 30 mg dbol ed
Weight 186 pounds on day 2
Week 2 Sust 300, 300 mg Mon - stopped it after the third pin of the cycle. Stopped the dbol for two days, too. As the swelling and pain subsided, started the dbol and working out again.
Weight 193 pounds on day 8
Week 3 dbol 30 mg ed
Weight 191 pounds on day 16
Week 4 Test C. Impatient of the delay in weeks 2 and 3, and having already missed Monday a.m. pinning, pinned 2.6 ml Tuesday, 1.5 ml Wed, and another 1.5 ml Friday. Total of 1120 mg.
Resuming regular M and Th next week.
Weight 194 pounds on day 22
Week 5 Test C 1.5 ml (300 mg) Mon a.m.
This is week 5. Will pin again Thurs. 30 mg. dbol ed. Have a week of dbol left at this dosage. Will continue pinning 600 mg weekly of test in coming weeks. Hopefully this cycle will continue better than it started.
Weight yesterday 195 pounds (on day 29).
I will post before and after pics when I can figure out how to do so without linking to a photo hosting account somewhere.
Strength and weight took a stumble in week 3 and 4, kind of screwed up the beginning of the cycle. Grrr! Stay away from high dosage UGL stuff.
