well, this is was the last week of my very first cycle.
protocol: 600 mg week of test-e broken down into 300mg mon/thurs (12 weeks total)
Starting weight: 167
Ending weight: 180
strength went up about 10-40 pounds depending on the lift. I generally trained in the 6-12 rep range so im basing it off that.
Overall, i'm pretty happy with the cycle. I do feel that it was somewhat underdosed however. I did not feel any side effects such as acne, bloating, alpha male feeling, huge libido, gyno etc. In fact, outside of the gym it was sometimes hard to distinguish whether i was even "on". However, i did have testicular shrinkage and morning wood throughout most of the cycle which pretty much told me it was real test for the most part.
My strength and muscle size def increased around week 3/4 but never felt overly dramatic. However, while working out and developing a good pump, there were many times where i certainly felt like a beast.
Obviously the scale doesnt mean everything, but i was hoping i could get a bit more than 13 pounds out of the cycle. I did spend a good amount of money on groceries and the buffet so i was a little disheartened by that fact.
As far as pins went, i had no problems at all. Did all gluteal shots and alternated sides. always made sure to use alcohol to clean site and bottle, as well as making sure to aspirate. I did find that 25 gauge were a little less pain than 23 guage, however they do take along time to shoot, which can be annoying.
at 10 weeks in i had bloods done. They were done 2 days after one of my pins so Obviously my levels were over 1500. Unfortunately though, since the test didnt read over 1500 i wasnt really able to determine if the test was underdosed or not. One good note though was that all my levels were in normal range....besides the hormonal panel.
I'm going to start my 50/50/50/50 clomid and 40/40/20/20 nolva pct in a couple weeks. I still have bodybuilding ambitions, but i'd like to see how i react to the pct and the following months after. Depending on how i feel and recover i will definetely be interested in running a second cycle of test/dbol.
