Hey everyone, another new guy!

[Thunder Monkey]

Hey all,

I friend of mine joined this site recently and told me all about it. And I must say this place is awesome!

A little about me, I'm 34yo, 6' 241 lbs. I played football in high school, but blew my knee out twice. After high school I got really over weight for many years. In 2001 I was 340lbs and under went Gastric Bypass Surgery. By the end of 2003 I was down to 180lbs. while this was great I was very thin, with NO muscle at all and nothing but drooping streched skin hanging everywhere. The diet I was on after surgery was (no to low) carb and high protien but less than 2000 calories per day.

While at the gym (back in 2003) I got talking to a few guys about gaining muscle, everyone said I had to eat more. So I did. And I got got bigger and stronger, I was up to 200-205lbs in late 2004. I was as happy as could be.

Then right after Christmas 2004 I tore my rotator cuff doing incline dumb bell press. I had to have surgery and was down for 3 months, I was very depressed and just sat around eating lots of food without working out. My body quickly remembered how it liked to be fat and I gained about 50lbs during 2005-2006 time frame.

So last year (2007) I started to get back in the gym and did ok since I was taking it easy on the shoulder. Well since January of this year, I've gotten very serious and more educated on all aspects of diet and exercise. I went to my doc and he started me on HGH, T4 and Test gel. I did a 12 week cycle and lost 15 lbs. I was 238 after this cycle.

I took a few weeks off (no PCT) and then started a 12 week cycle of Test-E 250mgx2 per week, T4 and Clenbuterol tabs. Now I will agree that I should have waited to start any AS, but I was tired of my lack of strength in the gym. And I figured that Test-E only isn't THAT crazy of a cycle to start with.

Anyway, I'm 8 weeks in my cycle and I feel absolutely great. I shot up 10lbs the first month, but have cut down 2 lbs, after upping the albuterol and I also have been playing some beach volleyball 3x a week.

Sorry for the long intro, I have much reading and learning to do here and I will get some pics ups real soon. I currently have started pics, post hgh pics, so I need some new ones to show my progress after 8 weeks of Test-E.

Regards,
TM
