Ya an AI is certainly necessary for me as I know now I am prone to gyno. I don't mind putting the pictures up. It makes it more interesting for anyone who is following and of course gives people an idea of what I am working with. I didn't put progress photo of my legs up, but they have got bigger and stronger. I want to wait for more noticeable size to post them little guys again. Thanks for following Bro! Much respect back at ya.

Well tomorrow will be the start of my 6th week. Crazy to think I am almost halfway. All I can think about is my next cycle. I think I am going to throw Deca in on my next cycle. I will also most likely use Test P. Thinking Test P at 600mg/week and Deca at 400mg/week. I want to do a nice strong cycle as it will be coming into summer. Anyway I have plenty of more time to think about that. I was hoping for a little bit more of noticeable gains by this week. My vascularity has started to subside. Probably because I have been eating like crazy. I have started incorporating several cheat meals throughout the week as well as eating simple carbs more. I guess I expected to gain more weight by this point and now I am kind of forcing the weight on. I am going to try to eat a bit cleaner and get my vascularity back. It's not bad, but it was much better a week or two ago.

Been a while since I did an update, so here we go. Well I am just over half way. Tomorrow is start of week 7! Results are great! Almost regret I didn't kick start with DBOL. Oh-well always next cycle plans. I have started to encounter some acne. It's on my arms, shoulders, and upper chest. Weird cause most people get it on the back... Other than that the only sides I have had is the occasional over-tired/ lethargic the day after I pin. I tried to work out like that a couple days ago and dragged the entire workout. Very rare for me.

My shoulders, arms, and traps have the most significant growth overall. My weight has been increasing very slowly. I weigh 168lbs now, or at least did a few days ago. I have had an incredibly busy last week, so my eating has suffered. I even had a day where I eat 3 squares. I tried to make up for it with my last meal at Mcdonalds by eating 1,500 cals in one meal, haha. Gosh I eat so clean most of the time. Hey sometimes there is just no time and you have to make due.

I pinned shoulders for first time last week. Boy that was fun....Not. It brought back memories of my very first PIN. Immediate pain that lasts for a week, lol. Needless to say I missed a few days at the gym. I am glad I tried it, however I will stick to glutes as much as possible. I can't wait to use a pharm that doesn't have such an intense PIP.

I have been spending an hour and a half working out two muscle groups. I have not been motivated to do cardio. It's weird because before I started cycle I was religious about cardio. Think its one of those things if you get out of the habit it is hard to get back in. Well I will post my workout today since I haven't for a while. It was the first time in a long time I was able to warm up my shoulder to where it didn't hurt.

Thanks for following brotha. My stomach has gotten a little puffy in the last couple weeks. It's my fault cause I have been eating lots of unnecessary food. At least we are coming into winter right.

I slept 11 hours last night! I have been working out every other day. My workouts are so intense that the next day my body is SOOO exhausted! I like to listen to my body. If I feel it needs rest, so be it. Hate to miss workouts, but what do ya do. Sometimes I feel like I am turning 60.

I have been fighting a couple injuries for a while now. My shoulder which I mentioned before. Also a tore a tendon on my inside left elbow. Its been tender for almost a month now. I remember I did it on a back workout day, but not sure of the exact exercise. It only messes with me on pulling movements. I couldn't even do lat pull downs today. I am trying to baby it on my workout and at the same time get all I can out of the workout. Hopefully it will heal soon. I think it is just a time thing as I have done this before.

Also recently I backed my AI up to .25 EOD. Didn't feel the need for .5 as I have no sides, (well maybe a little acne on arms and chest, but very mild).

Arms are looking great!

I didn't really feel it, "kick in". My results, strength, and libido have just been steadily increasing from the get go. I definitely will pair it with another compound next time.

Thanks Buster!

Well my biggest gains have been in my legs! I squatted 275 for 8-10 reps 4 times plus 315 for 4 reps. I love squats! I usually do about 8 sets. Also I am up to 14 plates on the leg press. I do 6-8 reps using all I got on the last few. Leg days are my biggest days and most of the time I don't have time to do calves. I usually put in 1.5 hours just on quads/hams. I try to get calves in, but know I also do them on Back day so no big deal. Also Romanian Deadlifts are my new favorite Ham workout. I always did the stiff leg deadlifts, so its a nice change. I usually work with 225 for 8 reps.

Overall strength has been great. I expected a little more radical results. However they have been steady. Next time I will throw some more compounds in the mix and work towards those radical results. I'm sure everyone expects more on their first time. It's great I have finally discovered a supplement to help me break through plateus and reach higher limits faster. I don't ever see myself stopping the use of AAS. I just hope I am smart enough to use it safely and not exceed dosages.

Weight: 171 lbs

Great update. Sounds like you felt a bit "blah" a week ago....

How have you been on daily vitamins, & supplements (not talking about shakes)?

Thanks. Vitamins I take are a multi 3 times a day, 1,000 mg Vit C 3 times a day, 400iu Vit E twice daily. Next cycle I think ill get the B-12 shot. Other supps I take are L-Carnitine, Fish oil, BCAA (post w/0), and creatine. I believe everything I take is a bare minimum, I would like to supp b-6 and b-12 but haven't made it happen.

3 days into PCT. Weighed 176 lbs a week ago. Weighed in at 170 yesterday. I have been sick the last week, so probably why. Missed a lot of meals and workouts. Wow does PCT suck. You don't realize what test is doing for you until you come off. My workouts suck, veins are not popping out like they were, I just feel small. Went from feeling like the hulk to feeling like wimpy. Even my mood is shitty. Still get horny, but don't think that could ever change for me.
I miss my test! After researching PCT methods I came up with one. So many varied opinions! Mine looks like this and subject to change if anyone has a suggestion(i am only 3 days in).

Week 1: 100mg Clomid/ 40mg Nolvadex
Week 2: 50 mg Clomid/ 40mg Nolvadex
Week 3: 25mg Clomid/ 20mg Nolvadex
Week 4: 25mg Clomid/ 20mg Nolvadex
From here I guess I let my body decide if I need another week or 2 of PCT to bounce back...

I just can't wait to get my natural test production back to normal. Also can not wait for my next cycle! My brother really wants to try Tren since we will be going into summer. BTW him and I did identical cycles this last time. I want to do Tren really bad too but after reading it would be nice to get a few other milder compounds under the belt first. Guess well see when time comes.

Overall it really works! My Dad was able to tell I had been getting a little help. I denied it as long as I could then gave in. I felt so bad for him as he works his ass off and cant gain any muscle. Of course I talked him into adding some test to his breakfast. I gained a great amount of strength, muscle mass, and vascularity. After a couple more years of cylces I should be the monster I have always wanted to be. My best gains were Flat Bench at 245 for 5 and Squats at 315 for 4 and Smith Machine Military at 225 for 3. My legs had the greatest gains, but I also put greater focus on them.

Well time to tough it out through PCT. Plan is to work out every other day at 30-45 mins max. Eat like a horse. Keep gains I got. ...and keep dreaming about my next cycle.
