First Cycle Test-E 2012

[Blaz Kavlic]

Some good weight gain there Maka. Good to see. I've just started my cycle (1 week in) so keep your log rolling. Good luck bro.

[boxa06]

Thanks boxa. Will take your advice under consideration! Do you recall how much did your strength go up at bench,squats etc. ?

My bb bench press lifts improved 26lbs during week 2,3,4 (i'm in the middle 6'Th week) , after that i hit a plateau, i doubt those 26lbs where "the kick" . Any thoughts?

All lifts went up between 15 and 20 percent but you need to eat more to put on the muscle to lift more.

Thanx Blaz!

Very nice strength gains boxa!

Makes sense and I am well aware of the importance of protein, fats and carbohydrate intake as i eat daily between 400-440gr/day.

[Maka]

My weight is going up slowly but surely! At the moment i'm at 92.6kg as i dropped some water, also mi hair started to fall . Currently im using Alpecin shampoo which contains caffeine (a mild vasoconstrictor).

Day 55
Morning weight: 96,2!

Sorry to all of you guys, i have been very busy and did not have time to keep the log updated.

No acne, very minimal water retention, hair loss has stoped, no sore niples... no side effects so far only the "boys" have shrunken a litle doh im surprised, i thought they wold shrunken a lot more. I am more than happy to see i'm not prone to the side effects that AAS produces!

Morning weigh: 95.4 kg

Day 57
Morning weigh: 95.1 kg


Today i made a different training :

seated calf rises 4x12/12/10/10
calf press 3x10/10/8

Traps
dumbbell shrugs 3x12/14/14
bb shrugs 3x14

Forearms
seated dumbbell palms-up wrist curls- 5 sets of 20,20,30,20,20 reps, with 45 seconds rest in between sets

PS:Forearms just like calves are both used to being worked a lot so I'm going to train them more than once a week.


Abs
crunches 4xfailure
ladder sit-ups 3xfailure
high-pulley crunches 4xfailure, moderate weight

I had 1 day my appetite has gone low, i was feeling allright but i just couldn't put nothing in my mouth so i tried to keep caloric intake up taking more protein shakes as usual but obviously it wasn't enough and body weight dropped.


Today i had my 9'th shoot in the afternoon and also spoke to my source to get me another 2000mg of Test-E this meaning im extending the cycle for another 2 weeks as my gear "kick in" happened around week 7.

[objective33]

Consistent log. Great gains. The results are definitely noticable at week 7 but you are aware the gear kicked in around day 14 right? Not sure where you got 7 weeks from. Also 9 weeks is an irregular way to end a test cycle, why not extend it to 12 weeks?

Thank you m8!

I'm guessing you read only a part of my log since u misunderstood some parts of my cycle, let me shed some light on that. My cycle was intended to be a 10 weeks :
Weeks 1-10 test enanthate 500mg (500mg pinned e7d)
Nolvadex .25mg if required
with PCT commencing 14 days after last shot (wk 1-5 Nolva 20mg/ED
wk 1-5 Proviron 50mg/ED)

I plan to extend my cycle at 12 weeks which is basically a 14 weeks cycle. (people always forget that a 12 wk cycle of testosterone enanthate is 14-15 weeks long).

Consistent log. Great gains. The results are definitely noticeable at week 7 but you are aware the gear kicked in around day 14 right? Not sure where you got 7 weeks from.

I noticed a difference in mood, strength and libido 2 days after my first injection (exception makes my libido which shoot up 1 day after first pin, you can't miss that ) . Not a huge difference, but I definitely feel a difference. As far as the real kick though, it took me about 6-7 weeks to feel the real blast.


Through my research, I've read that the testosterone blood levels are at their peak at around weeks 4-6 , Frontloading can make the effects be felt faster....you can achieve peak levels around weeks 1-2, compared with peak levels at Weeks 4-5 (6-7 my case).

If i gained 10lbs in the first 2 weeks or less that is water bro (not the test-e kick)... its due to the aromitization.

Thanks for the input and good luck with your cycle!

Go all out until the end bro. Get on it and good luck.

[Maka]

This morning i noticed this red( in some areas are almost blue) marks on my left hand... they are like i'v been hit or something . I did my injections only in my gluts. Anyone has a clue where they come from, is this normal( it doesn't seems ) maybe sides ? Thanks in advance!

PS: The marks are visible only on my left hand!

[Maka]

Well, the red spots are now almost gone! It's taking about two days more as far as i can predict for them to fade completely. I yet don't know the cause of this but i'm glad they are gone and if they will reappear i will go see a doctor.

how much have your lifts gone up?

[Brohim]

Don't wait for your balls to shrink use HCG twice per week 500iu

[Maka]

how much have your lifts gone up?

My lifts gone up 15-25%.

Don't wait for your balls to shrink use HCG twice per week 500iu

I decided not to use HCG as my cycle was test-e alone for 11 weeks. Thanks for the input!

[Maka]

Hey guys i just wanted to share my results as i ended up by doing 11 weeks (not 12 weeks as planed) as in pin day i broke 1 vial of test by accident and decided to end the cycle , not having the source in town.
Anyhow, since week 9 my gains stooped.
My cycle was Test E 500mg a week,weeks 1-11
I am very happy with my cycle results gaining 23 lbs (10,5kg)!

Currently I'm in PCT day 4 :
wk 1-6 Tamox 20mg/ED
wk 1-6 Clomid 25mg/ED (50/ED first 7 days)

Thanks to everyone here!

[dave230519]
