    Fisrt cycle 10 weeks test c

    Took my first pin last night, was surprised it didn't hurt at all in the thigh, did wake up in the middle of the night with one hell of a Charlie horse though.
    I’m doing 200mg twice a week on Sun night and Wed night, with .25ml a-dex eod. Going to start 125ius of HCG twice a week next Sunday, would have started last night, but it hadn’t come in yet.
    My goal is to put on 10lbs of muscle, increase cardio and strength, lose between 5-7 lbs of fat
    Will do my measurements tonight and post them up.
    Diet consists of
    Breakfast: 1/3 cup coaches oats, 1 pure protein bar, an apple
    Post work out snack( I workout at 6am) scoop of protein powder and a banana
    Lunch chicken breast, 1 cup of brown rice, 2 hard boiled eggs
    Snack throughout the day, I munch on veggies like carrots broccoli and cauliflower throughout the day to help keep me from being hungry
    Dinner, small steak top sirloin a sweat potato, a decent sized scoop of cottage cheese
    Snack before bed a protein drink, a tblspoon of PB
    Water, I drink a gallon daily

    Exercise today. This is a light week to get back in the swing after taking a week off last week from the weights
    Bench: 145X16, 195X14, 225x12
    Incline bench: 95X16, 145X14, 195X12

    Not a pro, but your calories look low.

    It comes out to around 3000 calories. I'm not trying to bulk a ton, just put on some solid muscle, keep from over training, and cut up quite a bit. I'm mid way through the day today and I'm already over 1500, with two more small meals and dinner left. I may add in another 2 eggs and maybe a can of tuna to raise the protein up some.

    Took second pin on wed, must have hit a nerve, becasue that one hurt and hurt all day.

    Took my first shot of HCG last night.

    First week of lifting, and my light week, are over. After my workout this morning I'm feeling super energized. Diet is going well. Will have some cheat meals this weekend and a few beers. Keeps me sane. Wieght was up last night to 234, but odds are mostly water weight with all the water I've been drinking lately.

    Next week move into medium sets with heavier weight and reps going 14, 12, 10 for 2 weeks. Hoping to be feeling this by the time I hit my 6 weeks of heavy training.

    At the end of your cycle if you can can you edit your first post and put your before and after pictures there, would make it a lot easier to compare the pictures and see the difference. Good Luck!

    Rough weeeknd, had to work, diet got screwed up and couldn't get to the gym this morning due to not getting home till 2am. Will pick back up tomorrow and diet will clean back up today. So far no sides outside my fuse being a little shorter. Feel pumped quite often, and a little aggressive. No sides what so ever, one last week of medium lifting then start hitting it heavy. Diet has cut fat off me, and my weight is up to 236.4lbs. Didn't get to do measurements last night due to work.

    Fisrt cycle 10 weeks test c-0725121.jpgHaven't posted in a while, because there hadn't been much to post up until this week. In fact I was starting to doubt it was really kicking in till I hit the scale and yesterdays leg lift. I finally am starting to feel it really kicking in gym wise. I can tell my strength is picking up, because the weights where I used to struggle on to finish the last 2 reps in a set wiht are coming easy now. I'm in my heavy phase of lifting for the next 6 weeks and I have a feeling I'll be increasing my weight regularly.

    The only sides I've noticed is a little more irritable, but that's started to mellow, and some water retention on days my diet isn't perfect. I was taking the weekends off the diet, but end up holding too much water by monday, so now I'm just doing one cheat day. My weight is up to 235 this morning, but Monday it was 239, which i attribute to water retention. I'm trying to make sure not to put on too much mass and only clean bulk, hoping not to break 245. Body fat seems to be down. Have noticed cardio is a little tougher lately.

    Today I did shoulders

    dumbell press 50X12, 70X10, 90X8 all came super easy willl probably up each 10lbs
    Leaning dumbell fly 20X12, 30X10, 40X8 These never come super easy, but did feel slightly so
    Bent over dumbell flys 20X12, 30X10, 40X8 they were easier and will increase the weight

    ball jack knife 3 sets of 14

    Rear barbell shrugs on smith rack 145X12, 185X10, 225X8 These are always pretty easy
    hammer strength shrugs 180X12, 270X10, 360X8

    Only did 2 trap exercises due to them being a little sore from deadlifts yesterday
    Seated forearm curl 65x14, 75X12, 85X10

    Barbell front raise 75X10, 85X8

    Ok my training is done for this cycle due to vacation and I'm down to my last 2 shots. My current weight is 242lbs, got up to 248lbs. Key things I noticed was fat loss was easy even when my diet wasn't great( this is due to summer and boating season making it tough on the weekends), if I had really watched my diet I could have really cut up a ton and plan to cut up prior to my next cycle next spring, so i don't gain into the 240s again. Noticed each pound over 240 caused my athletic ability to drop and potential for injury to go up exponentially. My frame just isn't built to hold that kind of weight and still be active. Some of the injuries I got were a shoulder injury from Hydrofoiling, tennis elbow about mid way through cycle, stretched the tendons in my wrist boxing, strained my neck going for the last few reps on decline( by far the worst injury of them all due to a loss of sleep), and did something to my achillies doing box jumps last week. I attribute a lot of this to just weighing too much and trying to do the same sports that I was good at 225. Also cardio became tougher.

    Gained some strength, not huge amounts, but back to my mid 20s strength. Got back to repping 315lbs 8 times on bench, squating 405 8 times on squats. That was nice and I plan on working to keep those after I get back. Libido was great, and had only a couple pimples, which isn't out of the ordinary, so no real side effects at all. Did and hopefully it will help. Going to try and do measurements sunday and post them when I get back from vacation.
