First Cycle Log and Results! Test E

[Live for the PUMP]

Sorry to hear about the pip. Keep your head up.

Chest will come around.

Good work on those bi's!

And did you say clomid during cycle?

Thanks Pete! No no clomid for PCT not during. I am a newbie to AAS, but I know better than that,haha.

[stpete]

Ok, cool. Just checkin.

Well I am about two in a half weeks into cycle. I have been looking at my nipples for a week or so as they have been hard and I thought a little pointy. I kept telling myself I am just paranoid. Well yesterday did a little Chest flexing in the mirror and really could notice a little point in the nipples. Furck! I had been taking .25 A-dex EOD, so I am gonna bump that to .25 ED. Also starting today I am taking some Tamox. Austinite recommended a dosage of 40mg for a week then 20mg for four weeks. I will follow this and hopefully it will go away. If it does I will probably lower to 10mg for the rest of the cycle. Not to sure just hoping this shiit goes away.

Took the weekend off. I got in 5 days last week, plus I have been congested with sore throat. My body needed the rest. I wish I could sleep in a little longer. I have the time to as I don't start work till noon, but no matter what time I go to bed I am up between 6 & 7. I usually don't go to bed till midnight as I get off work at 9. Well I am getting ready to pin . Gonna stick in the butt. Then it's shoulders/tri's day!

[austinite]

A little rest will do you good. Hit it hard in the days to come. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all your help. Without you and some of these other knowledgeable members I would be a mess. So glad I am on this site and can get the answers to my problems.

Nice log so far, look forward to seeing your results.

Shoulders/Tris/Abs

4 warm up sets at 35, 40, 45, 45 (Took forever to warm up shoulders today. Old snowboarding injury I got a tight muscle and it hurts to lift 15lbs till its warmed up. Lots of arm circles, stretching, and light weights to get it going.)
60x10x10x9 (felt really light, wanted to do 70's, but they are hard for me to get started with shoulder. Next time I will get a spot so I can put em up.)

Arms extended chest/back fly's machine. (I sit sideways and do one-arm to hit posterior deltoid.)

Thanks bro! I get the rear delts. I used the pec deck, but where arms are extended. I sit sideways in chair and use outer arm outward. It works them really well, try it.

Just starting dead lifting about a month ago. Never really did it cause I always heard how bad on joints it is. Well when I decided to take Juice I said fvck that Im doing deadlifts. Not impressive, but I am getting better and the weight is feeling lighter. My strengths have always been Bi's and grip. So I don't use straps, even on 405lbs when using for traps. My grip doesn't go. Part of reason I have crazy grip is cause I never use straps. Sorry not bragging just throwing it out so ppl know , cause lets be honest, straps make it easier. I am sure when I get my deadlift to a respectable level I will need straps.

I loved dips, would wear a belt and have 2 45 lbs hang from it.. Made my triceps huge!!

Well I am just shy of three weeks into cycle. Still taking tamox on cycle cause nips have a little gyno. Only noticeable to me when I flex pecs, but that is too much and better to get on it early. Well I felt great today. My strength has consistently been increasing and my body composition and vascularity are starting to make noticeable gains and differences. I can see how this can be a bit addictive. haha. I plan to keep cycling as safely as possible and do not see myself going without again. Originally I was like,"Ya, Ill do it once to try it out". HA! It's like the lays potato chip commercial....Once you have one you don't want to stop! My health and longetivity is very important to me, so at any time I think I am harming that I will stop. Hopefully its not Fn me up in some way I don't know about. I realize some risks like system not coming back and having to use TRT for life. That would really suck, but a risk I am obviously willing to take. I will take all precautions I can. Just like to thank everyone who is following, I appreciate it. Please chime in if you see any red flags, have suggestions, or whatever. Here was my workout today.

Decided to Pin mon/thr both mornings. I know its not exactly 3.5 days, but I don't see how it can make much difference. I work till 9. So I wouldn't be pinning till almost 10 at night, meaning the next day I would be very stiff, slow, and wouldn't be able to do lower body. If I pin in the morning I have all day to walk and keep glute loose. My PIP usually hits after about 8 hours of pin and last for 3 days. Tomorrow I pinning first thing in am followed by a leg workout. I know the shoulder is an option, but appartently I got a pharm that has the worst PIP so I am not wanting to find out how that would feel in my shoulder. Glutes are getting used to it more, so ill keep it in the butt.

looking good brotha! the hard work is starting to pay off - good job! keep it up!

[mg2336]

looking good bro! I have the same problem with my legs but I have been hitting them hard for the past 3 years with only a little growth to show for.... I would def hit abs harder with your size I would just get ripped as hell lol! Keep up the good work man!

By your comment I take it your a bigger guy...? Cracks me up cause most of the big guys want to get lean and ripped and the guys my size are always wanting to get big and add mass. I train with an ex-power lifter. He is 260lbs and one the biggest guys at my gym. It's great cause he has been showing me some great leg workouts. I always used lower reps with legs. However he has been telling me legs respond better to higher reps. The guy has massive wheels so I am just trying to soak up all I can from him. Thanks for following and the encouragement bro!!

Just checking in. Ran through your whole log, looking pretty good except for those drum sticks you call legs. . . Just fvcking with ya. I am the opposite, my legs are huge and hold a ton of weight. Watch your food intake and water. 10 pounds in 3 weeks is pretty solid though. But, going straight into a bulk after a cut can cause unwanted fat retention.


Keep at it.

[stpete]

Hey buddy, i don't know how i missed your rear delts. Good job. And good job on back. Those are some nice numbers. Keep it up. and yes, get yourself some straps and go heavy. Last thing you need to be worrying about is your grip. Pisses me off.

Keep up the good work.

[Brohim]

Actually I am not taking an AI yet. It should of been here about a week ago, but hasn't shown up. I have no sides so not to worried about it. Actually makes me think maybe I won't use it until I need it. Not taking Milk Thistle, I would if I were doing orals as those are toxic to liver. I take 1000mg of Vitamin C, 3 times daily. Opti-men Multi recommends 3xdaily, but I am taking 4xdaily. Also I use BCAA supp and Chromium Piconilate daily. Not taking creatine, but still tossing that idea around.

big mistake not to use an AI. Estrogen is 200x more supressive than Testosterone . If you want to recover from your cycle use an AI along with HCG 250iu mon and thurs. Not to mention the water weight and high bp from high e2 and risk of gyno.

Sorry to piss ya off their bud. Ya I should break down and get some straps. It would probably make the nightly stroking a bit more pleasurable as my hands are like rough sandpaper.

Yes I am finding out the hard way. I am using AI now it came about a week ago. Next time I will be more patient and wait for everything. Once that Test came I got started ASAP without waiting for SERM and AI. Live and learn. Now I have to use both on cycle.

Sh*t is working! I really am starting to see changes in body composition in about every muscle group! I felt like a mini version of those guys on the magazines today. Muscles really starting to pop. Today I hit shoulders/tri's/calves. Strength still on the rise as well as endurance. Still close 165lbs. Surprised I have not gained more weight. I am hoping by the time this thing is over people won't be able to recognize me anymore.

Shoulders/arms/calves one my all time favorite workouts!

Ahh just pinned. I am now 250mg stronger! haha. Today is chest and bi's. I was going to max out but my training partner backed out. Maybe next week. Oh boy did I have a cheat day yesterday. I started the day with pancakes, eggs, and OJ. Ended the day eating an entire digiorno pizza. I ate like 4,000 calories yesterday! It's good my body needed a break from the clean diet. This morning was a cup of oatmeal with sliced banana, yummy! Also 2 eggs and 2 whites with some OJ. Now I will eat my notorious breakfast before gym. 1 c of oats, 1 scoop whey, 3/4 cup egg white, and a handful of berries. That puts me over a 1,000 calories before 9:30.

[Live for the PUMP]

Another great workout at the gym indeed. I went heavy on everything today. Stepped my Bicep Curls up to 135lbs on the BB. Forearms and Bi's were ready to explode by the time I was done with them!

135x12x2
185x10
225x5x3 (Got the sixth with a little help, so not counting) My bench is back where it was when I weighed 180 and I am only 165! So yes I am happy with it.

Finished with concentration curls

Half the gym was watching me curl the 135lbs. It was probably obvious I am getting a little help with my intensity and grunting. I tend to behave like an animal in there sometimes. haha. I don't give a Fluck. I like to lift angry like I am mad at the world. I actually enjoy it this way and it helps me to release all the anger.

Besides the constant PIP I deal with on a daily basis everything is going really well. Feel good with minimum sides. I am eating ~3,000 calories a day and my weight is not going up.. A little surprised, I thought I would be gaining weight faster. However my strength is increasing every workout and my body composition is changing. Noticeable gains in 3 1/2 weeks! Still think I'll wait till about halfway point to post more pics. I want those pics to be very obvious of my gains.

Well I am just over 4 weeks into my cycle. I'm loving it so far (even though my ass is constantly sore(i mean the muscle not the hole)). I started HCG yesterday. Wow it sure was nice to pin something that is not painful. I felt like a chemist mixing it all up as I watched the, "how to do it" on youtube. I am finding the first cycle is a big learning experience while finding what works and what doesn't. At least I will be more prepared for further cycles.

My strength has been increasing from day 1 and every workout I notice more strength in every lift. I got a little tired of posting every workout, so I will just post when lifts have significantly increased. I have been hitting gym 5 days a week every week. Off cycle I usually only work out 4 days. I haven't done cardio in over a month! I want to and keep trying to fit it in but when I am the most motivated my bum is too sore.

My whole body, upper and lower, have gotten bigger. Every muscle is more full with good definition and vascularity. I am really excited for these next 8 weeks as I know everything is going to be even more pronounced. All I fkn do is live, eat, and breath this sht. If I am not at gym or on this site I am thinking about it. It's hard because I almost want to tell ppl because i love talking about it. However the general population is ignorant to steriods , so It is probably best I keep it to myself.

Just thought I would throw an update in. One for me to see down the road when I look back at this and two for those following.

Peace my Iron Brotha's

[ChipChelios]

Yeah man I know what you mean about people being ignorant about it, that's why I don't even bother explaining/telling people that I'm on it. People don't know anything about it ... I love talking to people who have done multiple cycles and find out what they did bad or what they liked. Or even just talking about diet! I love this shit !

Yes! The greatest hobby, passion, lifestyle ever! If only I was big enough to have sponsors and just body-build full-time. It's like having a part-time job on the side with all the cooking, eating, and lifting. haha

I have been hitting gym consistent at 5 x a week with a 4 day split. Strength still on the rise like nothing else!
