It's working - got my first "Hey you arms are getting huge"

[basildog]

It's working - got my first "Hey your arms are getting huge" from a dude at the gym. I am for sure seeing strength gains and definitely seeing a little size increase even though I am not eating a lot. I am eating very clean. I am taking 500 mg of Test E every week and 50mg/day of Anavar.

I have extra Anavar I was thinking about doubling that up, the last three weeks of my cycle. Would that be okay to do?

I am liking what I am experiencing. Still not allowing myself to lift to heavy to protect my joints but I still lift more weight than most people at my gym, always have. We have some bigger dudes there but my gym is mostly the model types not bodybuilders. Okay, well just checking in. Maybe someone can answer my questions above.

Thanks,

[Bertuzzi]

Always a good feeling when the shirts start getting tighter and people start commenting on the gains.... good for you.

How far into the cycle are you?

What dose your whole cycle look like?

If you are not lifting heavy, are you lifting to failure?

Can't give advice without stats bro, sorry. How long are you running the cycle for?

[Tigershark]

Well done.

[IMunchRoidz]

just wonderin, how big were u arms before u started the cycle

[lil_herc81]

Congrats! Definitely a feeling on accomplishment when everyone start going.. Holy chit, your huge!

[ghettoboyd]

im a bit confused by your im not eating much comment....what is your overal goal for this cycle...are you cutting?...be aware with the test e that you are experiancing some water weight gain that will dissapear after the cycle is through so if you want to keep your gains you will have to eat more to sustain your new body weight specialy durring pct...anyway keep on keeping on...

You are already producing results, why would you need to increase the dosage? Your body is either in a anabolic state or it is not, increasing to a higher dosage wont produce an higher anabolic state it will only increase side effects.

Well done and increase your caloires as you gain weight to support your new found tissue.

Are you sure about this?

[SergeantCarbs]

No I am not.... but I believe it to be true.

[delta1111]

No I am not.... but I believe it to be true.

Oh ok, I know it would certainly increase unwanted side effects, but I would also assume it would increase positive sides at the same time. If not then why do proffesionals use very large amounts in order to compete? Anyway, just my assumption based on logic. I'm certainly not saying i'm correct.

Anybody else wish to comment?

[Far from massive]

I was going to ask the same question, if taking 300mg of test nets 900 ng/dl of test and taking 700mg nets 1500 ng/dl of test I would think that the latter would produce a more anabolic state.

[Far from massive]

I am sure professionals have several reasons. One being tolerance from long term usage, the other using large quantities and multiple compounds to create the greatest (quantity) and most desired (combination of hormones) anabolic state.


But that is only an assumption based on a few months of reading so if I am wrong by all means tell me I got my head up my ###.

Agreed in that what I have said is simply personal opinion but I really would like to read some studies/comparisons proving or disproving this.

I would think that your either anabolic & gaining muscle or you are not. How much is actually gained is dependent on ones diet and calorie surplus not there test levels.

Yes agreed very good point. As we all know, diet is the key to muscular development. Anabolics will make you grow, but unless your diet is good, you won't grow to your full potential, or to the potential that anabolics will allow you to.
I would still be interested to see what some of the vets say about this question though (more gear = more results).

[Far from massive]

I will go out on another limb here based on what I have seen in 55yrs of life. Larger quanitities will net quickly deminishing returns just like in car racing etc. So when you double the amount of gear from a very low anabolic dosage, say 350 mg per week in a new user, you might only see a 25% gain, when you double it again you will only see a 12% gain. These are of course just random numbers to illustrate the concept.

Now if those are not enough random speculative statements to draw a vet/mod out of the woodwork I don't know what is LOL.

I gotta get on my emotional armour before the comebacks are posted....

[basildog]

If you are not lifting heavy, are you lifting to failure?

Can't give advice without stats bro, sorry. How long are you running the cycle for?

For the most part I go to failure every time. If that means I have to do 15 reps to hit failure I do. I try and keep my weights to where failure will happen between the 8th and 10th rep. so I am increasing my weights but keeping in mind I am not as young as I was when I did my other cycles and going from 80 lbs to 125 lbs double shoulder presses is probably not a good thing for me to do at this point and time.

I am going to do this. I just am not a big eater this is what I eat on a normal day:

Breakfast: 7 to 8 Egg Whites one full egg (for flavor ), 1 banana
Snack: Muscle Milk Light
Lunch: 2 Chicken breasts, half cup brown rice, steamed veggies
Snack: Protein shake with a banana - about 320 cal.
Workout
Post workout: Muscle Milk Light
Dinner: Lean steak with brown rice and steamed veggies

I work in an office with lots of women who like to bake so it is difficult to stick to this. FYI every guy but one guy is on a cycle right now. Four out of five of us.

[basildog]

just wonderin, how big were u arms before u started the cycle

Not really sure, they are not really that big in terms of bodybuilders but to the normal person they are. I will invest in a new tape measure since my dog eat my last one and take some measurements.

[Times Roman]

My dumb irish luck! I get that AFTER I was big, as in....

Wow man! You were getting pretty big there for a while, what happened?

answer: aw man, i fukked my sh1t up and since i've been rehabbing, i can't go at it like before

I believe it was Satchel Paige who once said "Age is a State of Mind Over Matter; If You don't Mind, It Doesn't Matter".

Congrats on your progress basildog and keep up the good work. You are in the prime of your life you lucky dog living in the City of Angels. What could be better!

[D7M]

Yes, higher amount of AAS will yield larger gains/results as well as more sides.
