Alright Ladies and gents here we go let me give you a lil background, First off I am not happy with this first cycle because I did not gain weight that I could not have gained with BCAA's and creatine! I don't know if I just don't respond to AAS or if my gear was week, it did give me more body hair and a crazy sex drive.
I am almost 27 years old now,
I started lifting for fun when I was 19 and I weighed 135lbs. By the age of 20 I weighed 205lbs solid and all natural around 12-13% BF.
I trained for another 3 years after that to maintain. by 23 I had an injury that left me un-motivated to train and My body went down to a natural 180-185 lbs and 14-15% BF.
From 23 years old to this past July of 2009 I did not train at all I just focused on other hobbies.
Early July of 2009 I had the urge to get into shape, I started pounding calories, protein and heavy weights, it was not as easy as when I was 19 to get big and lean, my Test levels were lower now, in this picture I had nearly 2 months of heavy training going from a sloppy 185lbs. to a bloated 205lbs. (creatine and heavy protein powders I suspect caused this)
I searched and searched for a legal way to get my low T. levels back up I found Spectrum Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) clinic. I followed all procedures and I was off and on my way.
My cycle is as noted above in the first post, my Training and eating habits are as follows,
* 3,500-4k Cal a day
* 300 G. Protein ED
* only complex carbs
* no carbs after 8pm
* cheat meals once every weekend
* lots off Halibut,cod,salmon,tuna,egg whites,chicken breast, and sometimes lean ground beef.
* Every Good Fruit/Veggie there is
All this was spread out over 6-7 meals throughout the day.
Before I started my cycle I trimmed down from a bloated 205lbs. to a cleaner 197lbs.
My training was as follows
I used some Chad waterbury routines and some old school compound exercises.
Mon- Legs/calfs
Tue- fore arms
Wed- Back
Fri- Chest/shoulders
* most used exercises were
* Dead-lifts
* bent over barbell and dumbell rows
* ass-2-grass squats
* clean and press
* Bulgarian squats
* pull ups
* dips
* incline/flat barbell and dumbell
all heavy with good form and never for more than 60 min. to prevent OT/strains.
I never worked arms alone since they were worked with all my other routines,
( ARMS are my week point, I want to have thicker bi's/tri's They are currently 17")
I never gained any real weight or size of this first cycle, I have went up then back down in weight, But I got much stronger than I have ever been.
I am waiting to start post cycle therapy (pct). I am going to have my T levels checked now, because if the gear was legit the levels should be high still since I am only a few days off and the esters were a mix of long and short, I will report my Test levels soon.
My final stats are:
*203lbs 11-12% BF

Any questions or tips for a next cycle are appreciated. I am currently going to run a gh cycle for 6 months next.
P.S. I did NO cardio and sorry about the shitty 5 mega pixel photos.
