Hi there, i've started my first cycle on the 31/08/2013.
Base stats: 20YO/ 5'9 or 5'10(haven't measure myself for a while)/Been training for 5 years, 4 years seriously(started at 130lbs)
Condition: Low test free due to High SHBG. Low fsh/medium LH. Testosterone total is on the high end.
My cycle consisted of:
150mg eod Test prop for 8 weeks
.25 arimidex ED
HCG 400ui/week
Planned 10 weeks at the beginning but ill only do 8. See log to know why.
with between 3000-4000 cals daily.
I did have a base diet plan, however when I was feeling like it I was eating more. And more. And more.
31/08/2013 stats: 160.8 lbs/13%
I dropped a bit less than 10 pounds prior cycling, because I had a big race that I was preparing to the week before I started. So my cals intake dropped, my cardio increased.
07/09/2013 stats: 170.2lbs +9.4lbs
Of course that weight was due to the fact that I was eating like 3 times more than the weeks prior. So most of it are just digested food.
That week I had issue with my injections, my gear had a VERY HIGH BA concentration... so the injection felt like pinning pure alcohol...
Damn painful... I just switched vial and the others was ok.
Pip were there, but easy to manage. I handle the pain well, so it was alright.
Small libido increase(mental), Intensity at the gym increase(mental).
Felt no different than always.
14/09/2013 stats: 173.4lbs +3.2lbs
Injection and pip are ok.
Libido increased again, having sex once of twice a day without trouble.
Intensity increased again.
However, the way I planned my training I'm not trying to break PR. I take a special care to not injury myself... Im not pushing heavy, I'm pushing smartly.
Feel a bit better than before cycle. Not feeling the great "ON feeling" people talk about.
Small backne nothing to worry about for now.
21/09/2013 stats: 180lbs +6.6lbs Dropped arimidex to .2mg ED
Libido still the same, not as high as I would like to.
Intensity still high.
However, I had stomach pain, Realized a bit later that was due to constipation(made small changed in my diet who caused this).
Backne betting a bit worst, still nothing to worry about
28/09/2013 stats: 182lbs +2lbs Dropped arimidex to .15mg ED
Was constipated, fixed it that week.
The constipation is gone for the most part.
Had to skip a day to the gym due to the stomach pain.(deadlift day :'( )
I still manage to recover that day by adding each exercise on other day.
My libido increased due to the change in arimidex, however still not enough like I think I should, so I dropped it to .15mg
Backne are getting worse again, I don't see my back adn my GF say it's ok, so its ok.
05/10/2013 stats: 185.4lbs +3.4lbs
Relieve myself for a bit of constipation that was left.
Ate very salty the last day of that week...
Bloat increased a bit due to salt.
Backne... Damn!
Backne got way worst! My GF told me that my pimple increased and when I went to check, It was all over my back!
Normally, I wouldnt care much. However, at school I often have to be shirtless for the purpose of the class.
So backne really started to annoy me...
Libido left unchanged
Intensity as great as before.
12/10/2013 stats: 184lbs -1.4lbs
This weeks I cut all the salt, to reduce my bloating, it worked.
I was scared that the estrogen could be one reason from my backne so I increased back my arimidex to .2mg ED
Intensity great again. Libido good.
19/10/2013 stats: 186.8lbs +2.8lbs
Bloat gone.
Libido great.
Intensity great.
nothing more to say.
27/10/2013 stats: 186.8lbs +0 lbs
I took winstrol for this week, nothing to report at 40mg/day felt no difference.
Been constipated again this week...
Havent gain weight but look a little bit leaner, so... its good 
My training has been very intense for the first 3 days of the week after it went down. Friday was total shit due to stomach pain. and today(sunday) has been my arm who has been pretty well.
Started PCT as well. Clomid and Nolva taste awfull!!! I wish ar-r would have put some stevia in it XD

I let you switching it in inch if needed.
Note aside:
I'm trying hard to see an endocrinologist and get BW done about 1 month post PCT. I do hope I will manage to get it. I will post how all that goes.
My goal is to keep my SHBG undercontrol so my test could be higher.
On the last 4 weeks I've had plenty of comments like:
-damn your arm got big!
-It is just me or you grew larger, and your leg! they are huge .
-**** bro..., you gained some muscle.
-Yeah man, you are way bigger.
-How do I do to be massive like you?!
-very muscular back you got there.
So... it's awesome Very successful cycle IMO.
