1st Test E Cycle Progress!

**briancb1** · 02-14-2007, 02:19 PM

****NEW PICS SEE BOTTOM OF PAGE***

Ok...

was
5'10"
172lbs
13%

current
5'11" (jk)
192lbs
15%

I'm on week 9 of a 12 week cycle. I gained all the weight in the first 6 weeks, I felt like I got fat and big enough for this time; co-workers, neighbors, classmates, parents all noticed my rapid increase in size and question what I'm doing...

Started cutting at week 7 (14 days ago) when I was 198-200lbs. I'm currently 192 and at high 14's low 15% BF.

My shoulder, chest, leg strength incresed tremendously, while arm strength was only moderate.

I'm going to continue to cut while I'm still on cycle to take advantage of the high test levels to help me preserve muscle when I'm running and on a lower calorie diet.

I apologize for the low lighting, but I am pale and this help show my lines. Can't wait for summer, actually going to work on a tan.

Thanks guys.

About 1.5 years and this is my first real cycle. I did some prohormones when I first started and just gained a lot of fat(In-N-Out double doubles build lean muscle, right?) and got some gyno, so I don't really count that honestly and I wish I didn't do them.

Same..Look like you were in good shape before you started..

**briancb1** · 02-14-2007, 06:40 PM

K, I'll get some better pics in here when I'm all done with the cycle. I'll get some wheels in there too.

edit:
for my pct I was going to do something like this:

Clomiphene: 4 weeks @ 100mg ed first 2 weeks, 50mg ed last 2 weeks.
Tamoxifen : 4-6 weeks @ 20mg ed (40mg ed for first 2 weeks?)

I also have 4000IU's of HCG , any opinions on that?

Thanks

Agreed, can't comment because of the quality of pics.. don't be afraid to show what you got so we can critique you.. if you hide in the dark we can't help you know what needs improvement.

**mousetraps** · 02-15-2007, 12:22 AM

still some good progress tho

**EcToMoRpHiAn** · 02-15-2007, 05:39 PM

Congrats on the successfull first cycle, from what I can see you put on some SERIOUS size. I can see how people were starting to question what you were on...

agreed. in the first pic you look nice, in the dark pic you look amazing dude.

how old are you??

**briancb1** · 02-16-2007, 10:05 PM

turned 23 last sunday. I get compliments from some people and other think I'm small. I really don't care, my goal is to be 200lbs at 10% and then I will try to maintain it until I become tired and old and then I will give up.

New pics coming tonight

NEW PICS - YESTERDAY:

Thanks for you patience, I dont have access to a camera everyday and I apprecaite any constructive feedback.

Thanks!

**IBdmfkr** · 02-16-2007, 10:33 PM

You've got really good potential Brian and I see 200lbs at 10% being pretty easily obtainable.. you could hold more weight than that IMO on your frame.

Great job so far, now you need to concentrate on your weaker areas with a solid training program and a consistant DIET to build mass.
I'll throw my critique to you via PM so it won't be in your thread..
peace

awesome, its hard to tell when you look at yourself in the mirror everyday.

***perfectbeast2001*** · 02-17-2007, 03:48 AM

looking good mate you have def added some decent overall size. Keep it up!

**thickmass** · 02-17-2007, 03:52 AM

I bet you're juicing

**Jiesel** · 02-17-2007, 08:08 AM

looking huge for 192 man....nice work....got any measurements?

**Timm1704** · 02-17-2007, 09:13 AM

whacked the weight on dude, well done. you gonna compete?

**pumpd4lif** · 02-17-2007, 10:49 AM

hahaha awsome job bro ur shoulders looking round and huge good work keep it up
and take a little time to do some more research on cutting possibly cycling carbs .u want to hold on to as much of ur size as possible

**briancb1** · 02-17-2007, 12:20 PM

Tim - I'm studying to be an engineer, I'm not sure if I want to compete, just look good I guess.

My main man Pump - Yea I want to hold on to all the gains I made for sure. I'm currently cutting it up. Running in the morning 3 times a week, dropped the weight down and increased some of the reps, and I'm going on the oliptical for 20 minutes after I'm done with the weights (usually 40 minutes of weights).

Carb cycling...must look into that one. I typically will throw some low to almost no carbs in some days then, I'll have a cheat meal on the weekend to throw my body off and continue to hit up the cardio hard following the next days.

3 days low, 1 day high carbs?

I'll check it out.

I'm glad you guys didn't tear me a new one for having small legs, but dont' worry, I'm working on them.

Jiesel - I actually don't measure any of my body anymore, if I like the way it looks I'm happy
