My TEST E Cycle

[jcosley]

So I finally got my hands on some Test E and started my cycle on monday.

Monday I injected 300 mgs and thursday I did 600 because I am only going to do Weekly injections now. I changed my mind and not doing the 2 a week as I really don't see any reason to do that.

I plan on cycling injections like this...

Inject 600mgs thursday....following week will be weds...following week will be tues....etc .etc.

I only lifted on Monday, tuesday this week and did a pretty ridiculously hard leg workout...have been too sore to even lift on weds/thursday and am doing back, bis, abs today at 4pm. Been having feet and ankle problems this entire week so I might hold off on cardio until next week. Hit the hot tub yesterday for a good 20 mins and my legs,ankles, and feet feel much better...plus I got a massage on weds so that helped with soreness as well.

I'm trying to cut up and my calories have been steadily 2500-2800 the past week.

My stats right now are:
6'3'' 260.6 lbs about 19% BF.
Goal is to get in 220s at 10%

I have for PCT NOLVA and CLOMID.

You lucky mother... I have to set something scheduled up soon to get my back and shoulders worked on. It's pricey but worth the money.


Nice goal, mine is pretty much the same as yours but i'll be happy around 210 10%

Also, people say to split the dose and do 2 injections so you'll have less sides and more gains bro. If at all possible, i'd split it.

I don't mind the injections at all...thing is I'm hiding it from my woman...she thinks steroids are stupid...blah blah blah...so if I can be discrete about it and do it only 1 day a week...i'm going to do it that way. I think I'll be fine.

And as for the massage, its pretty sweet having friends that have there massage licenses. She actually came over and did a house call too...pretty sweet. $40 an hour, cant beat that.

[xnotoriousx]

I heard that, well good luck on your journey bro. I just started a cycle yesterday myself so i'll right there with ya.

How's the diet look?

[Western Man]

I always thought test-e had to be split twice per week.

[redz]

I always thought test-e had to be split twice per week.

Doesnt have to be but it will keep blood levels more stable at twice per week. I always shoot enanthate twice per week.

[jcosley]

How's the diet look?

Sweet! My diet has never been better actually. Been tracking every calorie on livestrong.com Eating very clean...grilled chicken, veggies quite often....lean meats, fish, veggies, lots of whey, lots of egg/milk protein powder, eggs and whites, grapefruits, blueberries, etc.

I always thought test-e had to be split twice per week.

I've read quite a few different things about it and even on bb.com's steroid profile writeup the guy said shooting up once a week is fine between 500-1000mg dosages. I will be at 600mgs a week.

[CrazyHorse13]

Alright Stud Hammer Down

[jcosley]

Next injection was today. (600 mgs once a week)

Update on lifts:

Yesterday was a great day in the gym...probably because I finally got a really good long sleep...got home late but slept til like noon since I had the day off. Started with incline bench and one of my last sets was 275 x 3 ....that is probably about 50 lbs heavier then I've ever done on incline bench...so I was pretty psyched about that.

Today was a pretty crappy day in the gym....lethargic...slept terrible last nite...still got my ass up at 6am to go, but still sucked overall.

[jcosley]

So I haven't been keeping this up to date worth a shit. I started SUPERDROL while on this cycle to kickstart it also. Noticed a huge difference in muscle fullness and libido boost within a few days of taking it. Lifts are going pretty well....I really can't do the cardio I want to because of my stupid heal...not sure what is going on there. I have incorporated some non impact stuff....row machine and some walking though (as much as i can). Row machine might have to be my choice for cardio even though it sucks. Might try the stepper to see how my heal feels as well.

[jcosley]

DAmn slacker...i need to keep this more up to date. Anyways, Workouts have been going well....been eating huge, weighed in this morning at 262....which i still feel pretty bloated....kinda sucks. I dont feel fatter although at the start i was 245 and now up 262 and i'm going into the 4th week of Test E. I shot 600 mgs today for my weekly injection....starting to feel a little pain when injecting around the same spot anymore...kinda sucks. Other then that...my lifts are going really well and lifting alot heavier then before which is good.....also recovery is pretty damn good so far.

you taking an AI?

[jcosley]

are you injecting in the same place everytime? if so try alternating sites like left glute this week right glute next week....whats hapening is that you are building up scar tissue that is harder to penetrate.....

No...I doubt that...i just forgot to spread the skin with my other hand so it pinched in the spot where i tried injecting, so i think thats why..moved about 3 centimeters lower and injected the correct way with no pain.

So ...so far would you say its worth it

Definitely. Love every minute of it.

you taking an AI?

No ...and i really need to...bloat is killing me. I was having problems getting an AI from my source so I went with a different one and did end up ordering some today, so I will probably start taking Letro. Any info on dosing?

Letro is a little strong for just some bloat. Most people use that for gyno.

Why not an AI like liquidex or Arimidex?

Also make sure you are not taking in to much salt and you are drinking a lot of water

I only had a choice to get letro or nothing...so i decided with it. I've been drinking lots of water....a few weeks ago i had a high sodium week and it's been killing me every since. I've been watching it lately.

[jcosley]

So I couldn't take the bloat any longer, had to use a dose of nolva last night and also one this morning. It is definitely Estrogen bloat...i'm at middle of week 4...and I've tried diuretics and it didnt help one bit. I feel much better already which is pretty crazy. I will use letro instead when I get it within the next few days...at a low dose.

Lifting went very well this morning....back pumps are getting retarded though...i want to stop superdrol so bad because it them...i lowered the dose to 2 caps a day....still suck though.

[jcosley]

Well my weight is still all over the place but strength killer so far!

I did 295 incline bench press 2 times last nite!!! Freaking insane!

[jcosley]

All I can say is I LOVE TEST-E...friggin stuff is amazing.

Finallyyyyyyyy got through my plateau on bench press yesterday after months stuck.

425 x 3....ridiculous!!! Gotta love it....i'm having insanely good workouts. Can't say how much I love this stuff....gotta get me some more and stockpile it!

[tboney]

You know you can get ldex by clicking the banner at the top right of the page???? Letro is a little strong for bloat and can really mess up your libido..

I didnt end up taking any of the letro...goes to my stash now...guess i'll only use if i have gyno issues. I took nolva for 3 days and my bloat pretty much went away.

[xnotoriousx]

I don't know how bad taking a AI can hurt your gains or if it will only effect water weight but I took some adex and in 4 days I dropped 5 lbs and dropped some water quick.

I don't know how bad it is vs gains but I got so paranoid about gyno I decided to just use it throughout the cycle. Like I said 4 days I dropped 5lbs so i'm not sure if this is going to hinder the overall gains.

I'm not really too worried about gyno issues to be honest. I ran nolva for 4 days and my bloat went away and hasnt came back really since. I only notice if i eat alot of carbs...and right now i'm limiting my carbs pretty much and i'm getting the lean look i'm wanting.

[jcosley]

Update....

My lifts have been getting better and better.

Legs yesterday I broke threw my squat plateau
335 x 3 (weak I know)

All time high in leg press - 705 x 3

I was on an all time high on bench on monday with - 400 x 4

My diet has been good...been lowering carbs except for the weekends. Pretty much the anabolic diet where you sort of carb cycle keeping carbs low all week and until the weekend.

[jcosley]

Another good day in the gym...I actually started back to 2 a week shots now instead of once a week every 5 days. Either way, I still think it works just the same. My dose has been pretty high as I have to take shit to the extreme...oh well...i'm tapering down a little bit.

DEAD LIFT record for me. 425 x 3 Not bad for me.

So all in all so far, i'm really happy with TEST E. I think it's a great thing. I can't imagine going off it to be honest and don't want to.

I started 09-18-2009 so it will be 6 weeks running this cycle tomorrow. LOVE IT!

[jcosley]

Thursday I didn't really feel too motivated when i was walking in and just wanted to get in there and out...kinda sucked. Then once I started abs it all got a better...funny how that happens. Did ABS and COMPLEXES today...pretty friggin intense.

My weight is down 3 lbs this week ....my diet has been high fat, protein and low carbs (aka Anabolic diet). Starting to see some more definition, which is what i'm looking for. Weight this week is 254.

post some pics lazy

[jcosley]

post some pics lazy

I KNOW I KNOW!!!! Everytime I go from work straight to the gym...then eat supper, i totally forget about taking pics. My old apt had a big mirror i could at least take the pics myself, now my house doesnt have that...so i need my woman to take them and i keep forgetting to ask her.

[jcosley]

Well the clen/t3 shakes went away before i got off work and went to the gym which was good...I still felt like crap though because of this stupid cold bullcrap i have hanging around...seemed to be a l ittle better today but still feel like crap. I did abs and complexes yesterday at the gym because I didnt want to go full bore with the weights having a panzy immune system. Might have to follow this routine again today until this stupid sickness goes away....why when you start making good progress do you have to get sick??? Happens to me everytime dammit.

Been taking about 4-5 grams of vitamin C a day...seems to be helping.

[jcosley]

Not a bad day in the gym for still feeling like crap yet. I did abs, chest, bis today instead of tris like usual...figured I'd switch it up.

Flat Bench
425 x 3 (last set)

Incline Bench
295 x 2 (last set)

Started off with my crunches routine as always and weighted crunches.

Overall pretty decent workout. Nothing really to comment on t3/clen...as i didnt really get the shakes as bad as day 1 and didnt really notice much...felt warm at times during the day, that was about it.

Weighted in today at around 253.6 today also.

[jcosley]

Ok so Im finally about rid of this cold and my workout showed yesterday. Did back/traps/abs and also 10 mins cardio

Deadlifts (rack)

Last rep was 495 x 1 (SWEET!)

Clen/T3 - only update i have from this is sometimes I notice my hands a little shaky and then i'll get really warm for a few mins, then it will go away. Weird feeling but not bad by any means. I'm up to 100 mcg of clen and t3 each and on monday i will cycle off clen for a week...continue t3...and start clen again the following monday.

(END OF WEEK 9)

[ctemkg]

Thanks for keeping everyone posted on your progress.

[jcosley]

Thanks for keeping everyone posted on your progress.

No problem, and I finally got my progress pics up. I still need to lose a good 30 lbs in my opinion...but i'll keep battling. Goal is 215.

[big_k]

You're trying to cut up, how is your cardio regiment looking?

[jcosley]

You're trying to cut up, how is your cardio regiment looking?

At first it was non existent because I could barely walk because of my stupid heal...I've been doing it everyday after lifting the last couple weeks finally now that I can run/walk on it. Been only going about 10-15 mins after a 45-60 min weight session because it seems to aggravate my heal if i go over 20 mins...so i'm still not 100% yet...but it's feeling good. I'll pry try to go 20 mins after weights tonite. It's mostly jogging at 6.5 mph pace, then walk 4mph, then back and forth. I get good results from this usually. So i'll run for 5-10 mins, then walk 5, then jog 5-10, etc.

My t3/clen cycle calls for only t3 this week...and i will run EC stack on the off days of clen. I will start clen backup on sunday.

[jcosley]

T3 only this week for the clen/t3 cycle. 125mcg all week.

I had a pretty good day in the gym today. Abs, tris, chest.

Started with Decline press and my last set was:

275 x 5

Incline was:

275 x 3

Did 15 mins of cardio after my 60 min workout.

[jcosley]

I did abs - crunches and weighted routine. Also did 45 mins of interval cardio on the treadmill....jogging 6.5mph for 5 mins, walking at incline 5 mins, back to jogging, etc. The last 15 mins i walked.

Weighed in today at 248.5. Diet has been really good the past 2-3 days.

[jcosley]

Well the holidays sucks for overeating...family gatherings...etc...etc. I still managed to weigh in 1 lb down on friday at 247 which was a miracle in my mind. Anyways, I started clen/t3 together today...kinda shaky...sucks too...i'm at week 3 of this cycle where it calls for 125 mcg of both all week. I woke up at 6:30 am and did 35 min cardio session...hopefully I will get in a weight session after work as well...possibly with another short cardio session after. I need to get going on this weight loss...pissing me off cuz im about at the end of my test E cycle.

I want to keep going even farther on this cycle but I may just have to take some time off and then start another cycle again. Not sure. Injecting the past 2 times has sucked though....first...my right cheek tensed up after injecting and that hurt...today I hit a vein...might have to try the quad next time.

11/27 was end of week 10

[BeastIn916]

Sounds like a good job, keep it up.
