Here's my first log: http://forums.steroid.com/members-cy...le-result.html
After that cycle, I lost alot of my gains. Got my testosterone check and I was under 300. I was hopping that cycle to keep my SHBG low but it didnt... I dropped back down to 170lbs 2 months after.
My endo didnt want to treat me cause she said I was simply in the low end and statisticly speaking, its normal.
If it's normal to not be able to get an erection at 20 then **** you.
I started self-medicating TRT on the 20 february 2014.
Here's my protocol: 200mg test-e/week splitted in 2 injection 500ui hcg/week splitted in two injection .25mg arimidex 24h after my test shot
Started at 170lbs-14%.
At the beginning of May, I was about 182lbs - 15%.
Started to slowly cut, 20th of May I was 177.8 - 14%.
I started Tren on the 20th May.
My cycle consisted of:
100mg E3.5D Test-E
100mg EOD Trenbolone Acetate
20mg EOD(ED if needed) accutane
.25 arimidex E3.5D
.125 - .25mg Pramipexol ED
60mcg T3 ED
HCG 250ui E3.5D
I don't have predefinite amount of time planned on tren-a. At first, I planned 8 weeks, but I won't have enough tren for 8 weeks if my vial are underfilled(like my first vial of test-e), and I may order more if I like it to increase the duration to 10 weeks
Accutane is importante cause for me the worst side I get from Testosterone is acne(even at 200mg a week I have mild acne...), so on tren it most be worst...
GOAL:
My goal, as the title say, is a recomp. However a recomp more axed toward fat loss. Also I'm aiming for strengh gain.
Prior cycle:
Stats/Measurements:
21YO/ 5'9 or 5'10(haven't measure myself for a while)
177.8 LBS
Around 14% BF
Galiper measurement:
Chest: 2mm
Abdo: 14mm
Thigh: 8mm
Triceps: 8mm
Subscapular: 8mm
Suprailliac: 11mm
Midaxilary: 6mm
On the jackson/pollock test it calculates me at 7%BF... As much as I would like to be 7%, I'm yet far from it.
Error Factor:My girlfriend took the measurement + galiper don't tell much.
Still if these go down, I can assume that I leaned out.
Tape mesurement:
Belly button 82cm
Right quad 56.5cm
Left quad 56cm
Flexed right arm 38.5cm
Flexed left arm 38cm
Once again it do not tell much, but it gives a good idea of my progress.
Training:
Full body type training, alot of volume, alot of heavy lifting. I focus on the big three. Would like to increase my total to 1100lbs while staying under 180lbs.
I'm doing 45-60min of LISS cardio daily.
Diet:
I'm doing intermittent fasting, Eating 2 meal a day, aiming 2000-2500 calories, Low fat, arround 130-160g protein, rest in carbs.
What's make my diet a recomp is that every 4-3-4 days, Ill have a refeed. Trying 6000+ calories of carbs and lowest fat as possible, to replenish my glycogen store, without storing fat. Plus it gives a little bit of freedom.
Results:
21 May 2014 stats: 177.8lbs
I just started, the injection went strangely... No pain from injecting in itself but strange pain in the shoulder for 2 hours post injection(afterward minimal PIP), first time it happens to me...
No cough.
First day I shouldnt see anything, however I felt energized and happy(mental), however I noticed increase vascularity while doing the dishes, my GF noticed it too... Maybe it was the hot water but I liked it.
27 May 2014 stats: 176.4lbs -1.4lbs
My diet as been strict, but with recent even in my personal life I had a high loss in appetite, which is not a bad thing considering the cut.
However, I was suppose to do my refeed on sunday which I didn't. Instead I did it today(at least I tried...).
Probably the worst refeed ever... I dont even know If I reach maintenance...
Will see with my weight tomorrow I will have surely increase due to increased carbs intake but not as much as it should have been...
Anyway, First week recap:
Injection pain is only annoying the first few hours.
I started to feel the anger from tren, at home and at the gym. Broke a new bench PR with ease. Broke a ventilator with no valid reason... just kicked it out of my way... I'll have to be carefull with that...
Libido: It is almost 0, this week has been an emotionnal rollercoaster(totally tren unrelated). The need to have sex is just not there.
Endurance: dropped not much but it has dropped a bit.
Vascularity: I'm damn impress with my actual vascularity, I can't wait to see when it will be fully kicked in!!
Sleeps: I had 1 good night since I started... I can't blame the tren just yet, but damn I'm tired, Im not use to 4-5hours night...
Up to now I think I won't take any other refeed day. I just don't feel like it, maybe I'll change my mind later.
I can't believe that I'm going to say that... eating seems more like a pain in the ass than anything else.
6 June 2014 stats: 178.8lbs +2.4lbs
I've cheated on my diet a bit, but overall sticked to it.
I feel the tren fully kicked in, strengh is awesome, vascualrity is awesome, I'm leaner and bigger.
My CNS is unstoppable XD
Cardio seems unaffected.
Sleep is doing better.
21 June 2014 stats: 184.3lbs +5.5lbs
My diet went to shit for 2 fvucking weeks!!, I'm trying to get my hands back on it...
I don't look leaner anymore
, but I'm stronger than ever, and bigger too.
I went over 190 lately... freaked me out XD
2 July 2014 stats: 187.7lbs +3.4lbs
Well, I'm not proud of it... lot of bad change in my life, my diet is very hard, my moral is affected. Of course, the lack of sleep is affecting me, but I'm not sure if tren is playing a role also...
But I feel it's going for the better, my diet is getting slowly on track, my training is intense as ****, I'm stronger than ever, bigger than ever.
I increased my dose to 150mg EOD of tren and 250mg of test-e/weeks. about 5 pins ago
Sleep is harder, vascularity is the same, strengh has increased a bit, sweating is awfull XD
Overall, I don't see much difference except for increased side...
Still curious to continue at that dose, but I think 100-125 EOD is my sweet spot... still need more tweaking to find for sure.
I will update the original post every week with an update on my weight and feeling for the week.
Pics has been taken, I will do a before/after but I will only sent them by private msg and only at the end, once everything is done.
*Disclaimer: I don't recommend anyone under 25 to use any 19nor, I personnally believe that those should be reserved to those already in TRT/cruise. I also don't recommend using Tren at that low of a BW, I have my reasons, I know the risk and I'm ready to accept them. No one without sufficient knowledge should use steroids anyway...
