First Cycle Log - Test E

[CALLMEOCT]

So, decided to Log my first Cycle -

Compunds:
- Week 1 to 12: Testosterone enanthate @ 250 mg every 3.5 days (500mg/week total - Injecting Mondays and Thursdays)
- Week 1 to 12: hCG @ 250 iu every 3.5 days (500 iu/week total)
- Week 1 to 14: Anastrozole @ 0.25mg every other day (From day 2 up until PCT starts)

Starting Weight: Monday 12th June 94.2kg
Body Fat: 12%
Height: 186cm
Goals: Bulking first cycle - Im already muscular with lean mass, been training for around 5 years and tracking macros for about 2 years.


First Week - From Monday 12th to Monday 19th
Calorie Intake: 3650Calories -
After first injection, and from Monday to Thursday; and during the course of the first week i gained alot of weight (water retention); i felt bloated, and went up to 97.3Kg. Thank god this stopped and the water retention (thanks to arimidex ) went away and i got back to my normal weight and started gaining slowly.
Felt incredibly nervous during the first 2 pins, mainly the first one, my entire body was sweating; as for pip, no big deal on the first ones.
Side wise, bloat was the only one during the first week.

Second week: From Monday 19th to Monday 26th: Starting weight 96.5Kg
Calorie Intake: 3650Calories -
Was still with a bit of water and bloated during the first couple days of second week. I started to feel the effects on my body, not strength wise but mood wise (sex drive went up, libido, i was feeling way more aggresive).
On second week i started to get a huge amount of cramps, everywhere, on zones that i've never gotten cramps before.
This got solved (Thanks to forum members) by adding Taurine (5g daily) and more water to my diet.
I injected twice on the same side of my glute by error and got a huge pip here.

Third Week: From Monday 26th to Monday 3rd July: Starting weight: 95.4kg
Calorie Intake: 4150 Calories. - Raised calories a little bit after seeing my weight decrease.
On the course of third week, about to end it; water retention is gone. Once i wake up i can see all my abs again and feel almost no bloat!
As for hair loss, nothing! -
As for acne: Nothing! -
A side that is worth mentioning feeling my skin a bit oily; trying to get more showers than usual to fix this.
As for strength, i felt more powerful and with a huge amount of endurance during last week.
Cramps: Gone.
As for week 3, my 2 injections went away smoothly, 0 pip, im not even nervous anymore and totally used to pin myself, i cant believe im saying this, i was afraid of needles and now im injecting my ass twice a week without issues.
Still waiting for Test to fully kick in and get steady test levels.


Fourth Week: From Monday 3rd July to Monday 10th: Starting weight: 95.9kg
Starting Week 4 - Day 21 of this log.
Week 4 Physic Updates:
Injection N8 and week 4 coming to an end next Monday. (No pip from last injection).
Hit the gym at night, did my chest workout; for some reason i feel im still a but pumped, wich is great; loving the vascularity improvements and the amount of strength im gaining. Feeling really good mood wise; sex drive and relation with gf is going wonderful; she thinks im on viagra or something due to myself being horny as fuck the whole day, lol!
Problem here - Looking for help: WEIGHT
I weight 94.6 today on the scale.. Yeah, im about to end week 4 of test E at 4100 calories daily and my starting weight was 94.2; only gained 400 grams during these 24 days.


Fifth Week: From Monday 10th July to Monday 17th: Starting weight: 96.6kg

total weight gained over the course of the last 4 weeks: 2,4kg wich ends up being a total of 600g per week.

Today my pin N9 goes through at night; pip from last week was really bad! - I took 2 rest days in a row (Saturday & Sunday)- played my soccer match on saturday and did nothing on sunday. Feel really good today, chest day it is!
Took some pics in the morning, looking swole; i see myself growing in front of the mirror wich is nice, finally i can notice the gains. Will update throughout the week.

You are doing it right, dont listen to that kid.

Test E is a long ester but you still get much more stable levels pinning 2x a week, it is deff worth the extra pin.
Steady levels = steady gains

Sounds like you have figured a lot out and your cycle is going well. The acne side comes for me when I come off my blast due to the huge hormone fluctuation. But a lot of people never have a problem with it at all. If you are having PIP/problems pinning in your glute you can try your delts if you want, in my opinion it's easier, no pip, and you dont have to aspirate . But if you arent having anymore problems keep it up

Good luck, keep us updated man

Third week ends today; day 21 and Pin N7 coming this afternoon.

Quick update

Total weight gained over 21 days: 1.700gr. (1.7kg)

This is the comparisson according to my tracks; started with 94.2kg, and im 95.9kg (this morning).

From Monday 26th to Monday 3rd July: Starting weight: 95.4kg, weight today 95.9kg.

Wich means i gained 500gr over the course of last week.

Test sides: Even with HCG , i feel that my balls shrunk a little bit. Oily skin, still here, its not a big deal if you shower 2 times daily.
As for strength, feeling the same as last week, but i have to point that my vascularity is way improved. My forearm vascularity is going crazzy.
Sleep wise, im having the best sleep of my life, put my head on the pillow and just rest, wich helps me alot.
Mood wise, im feeling great, a bit anxious sometimes.
Sex drive seems to be stable at the moment, or im getting used to it.

I feel im looking the same as i was 3 weeks ago, but almost everyone that see myself tells me im bigger than ever.

Have a great week guys!

Goodluck!

Subbed, as I will be running a Test E cycle shortly.

Same here

Got my 7th injection yesterday; for some reason i got some bad pip during the first hours. Its gone by now.
Hit the gym at night, did my back&tricep workout. Going to upload pics this week; my back is getting way more defined, looking great, its really sad that my genetics benefit my back (always had a great back) but my chest looks so bad, lol!.
Vascularity increases daily, the pumps on the gym are the most insane pumps i've ever had.
Strength going up, every day that passes away, it feels like im stronger.

Sides: Acne - Im getting a few pimples in sites where i've never gotten pimples before, might be cause of oily skil im having lately due to test.
Sex Drive: When you run test, and once it starts kicking in, you'll most likely wake up every day with a huge morning wood, no matter what, lol! it reminds me when i was 14.
No gyno so far, keeping my Adex @0,25 eOd.

Have a great Tuesday fam!

I weight 94.6 today on the scale.. Yeah, im about to end week 4 of test E at 4100 calories daily and my starting weight was 94.2; only gained 400 grams during these 24 days.

Im seriously looking for some advice; i might end up dirty bulking since the clean 4100 aint not working.

My Dr. says im lowering BF while adding mass, wich leads to weight loss, wich i doubt, i mean, i feel way bigger (and my clothes tell me so) but i dont get why the scale goes down and down

Pros of Test E Cycle so far:
Makes you feel great.
Sex drive raises by a ton.
Vascularity on week 4+ gets a huge imrovement.
Strength is noticeable at around week 4+.

Cons:
Balls shrunk a bit (Even with HCG ).
Oily Skin
Pimples (Not many, just a few).
Cramps (Solved by Taurine, if i miss my Taurine Dose ill get cramps).
Bad dreams: For some reason im having terrible dreams, it feels like they are real.


If someone reads this log LMK otherwise i might stop it; not sure!

How physic is looking at the moment -

Was feeling tired after friday workout so decided to take Saturday & Sunday off gym.

Had my soccer match yesterday (90 mins); slept the whole day after that and doing the same today!

95.5kg was my weight today, last day of week 4.

PIP from last injection is gone; but pip from the first injection of week 4 remains a little bit.

Not seeing oily skin these last couple days, amount of pimples pretty much lowered, wich is nice. (Almost sure this is due to myself being way more higienic and taking more showers than usual).

Fifth Week: From Monday 10th July to Monday 17th: Starting weight: 96.6kg

total weight gained over the course of the last 4 weeks: 2,4kg wich ends up being a total of 600g per week.

No, not really, sometimes you get no pain at all. Sometimes i get a huge pip around 12/24 hours post injection.
Had to switch sides on the bed with my girlfriend a couple nights, but thats it; lol!
