End of Cycle Results As the title says, my cycle is coming to an end this week so I thought I'd post some stats! Weight: 265 (up about 20lbs) BF: 15.6% (up a little, but not much) Set several new 1RM and all work sets went up about 50lbs (for big compound movements) Overall I feel this was a...

Week seven wrapped up and into week 8 I go! Weight gain is kickin in big time. Up to 252 (net gain of 10lbs). Strength is starting to go up as well, though it still seems fairly gradual. Sprained my wrist sat, so training heavy was a little challenging. Still pushing respectable weight (more...

Been a while since I posted any updates... Halfway through week six, so about halfway through the cycle. Did a bf% test today since my overall weight hasn't been moving much. Weight: 240 (down 2 lbs) Body fat: 12.8% (down almost 3%, total drop of 7lbs) LBM: 209 (up 5 lbs) My recovery has...

First month down! This week starts week 5. Pinned yesterday after drill. Drill took its toll on my nutrition and training (had to skip legs in week 4 since my lt is a marathon runner...). That being said, my workout today was pretty decent (chest/abs). Excited to see the changes comin up! What...

Week 4 is off to a bad start after week 3 finished strong. Just didn't have a good workout today, but it happens every once in a while. Looking forward to this week and next week though, since this is where everything should start kicking in right?

6th pin was today! Starting to notice my aggression going up/ temper decreasing. Nothing extreme, but still noticeable for me (I am a very laid back guy). Hit legs pretty hard focusing on a higher rep count than normal, but keeping the weight heavy. On a side note, upping my carbs has already...

Ok here is the big update! Dropping tren and sticking with deca, so the cycle is now test @ 400mg (split up twice per week) and deca at 400mg (split twice per week). Will run deca until week 10, test until week 12. No sides yet, though I have been playing it safe and using my AI. Gains...

Lol sorry for the lack of updates, last week kind of got messed up due to weather and my newborn. Been faithful with training and diet. Still pinning test and deca. Meet with my trainer tomorrow about dropping or keeping tren and sticking to just test/deca. Other than that, just did my 5th pin...

I am not ignoring anyone. Staying on deca for now and meeting with my trainer Wednesday. I am taking everything said to heart, just had no updates yet.

3rd pin today. Tried my right quad, which went very well. Did some light cardio afterwards. Overall I feel pretty good, but I know it is way too early for anything to really kick in. My motivation in the gym has been very good, resulting in some new pr.

good points... I will for sure discuss with my trainer and go from there, I am early in the cycle, so staying on deca wouldn't be a big deal. Already looking into clomid for post cycle therapy (pct) instead of nolva. Will of course keep everyone posted as to how everything turns out

The original cycle was going to be deca for weeks 1-10, but we decided to change it up a bit. My understanding is that Deca really doesn't kick in until much later, so I will have to get clarification on this. I will also ask about the clomid deal. I know he isn't a fan based on his experience...

I know most advocate a first cycle being test only, but I'm trusting my trainer on this one. only 5 weeks on it, so not all cycle. Hit chest again today (pushing legs off until tomorrow) since my monday chest workout was interupted by my wife's water breaking. Broke my bench record, though I...

a few additions/clarifications to my previous post. Height: 6 ft target calories: 3800-4000 ED Also have arimidex for my AI. Pins are every sunday and wednesday. Have only had two workouts this week hitting chest and back. tomorrow will be legs!

Officially came over to the "darkside" My first cyle is going to be a 12 week cycle consisting of Test Cyp (weeks 1-12, 400mg), Deca (weeks 1-5, 400mg), and Tren (weeks 5-10, 300mg). HCG. Nolva for PCT. I have good support from my trainer (a member on this board) for any questions or issues...
