Nice progress man...this is exactly the same cycle i will be doing in a few months. My only question is have you noticed any type of hairloss? And what do you use to get rid some of the acne.
1st Cycle: Test E (500/wk)

cool man. I havent noticed any hair loss. My hair grows super fast so i try to get it cut every 2 weeks. Im hoping that a plain Test cycle won't cause much hair loss.
For acne i use Neutrogena body wash for my back/chest/arms and MD Forte III Facial Cleanser for my face. These products just cleanse the skin, and for spot on pimples, i use this acne treatment cream that has to be refrigerated..forgot what its called, (all it is is benzoil peroxide.). These products work okay but i still have some acne, not too noticable yet.
Last year i went on Accutane which although it sucked it cleared me completely up. However, you tend to lose some weight on Accutane.

Yesterday i took off bc i was tired from golfing that morning lol. So today i hit shoulders and traps.
This morning i did my 12th Test pin and noticed that i actually have 30 ampoules overall instead of just 24! Because of this, i am upping the dosage to 700/wk instead of 500/wk, just to use the remaining Test. Like i said i did shoulders today and everytime i work them, one shoulder or the other really hurts. I normally start out w military press or shoulder press and then when i go to lateral or front raises, one delt feels great while the other one is really sore. Last week my right delt was killing me, but today it was my left one.
I don't feel that either one's strained cause throughout the week its fine. I always warm up and stretch them out really good, even continue stretching throughout the workout..what could this be? it's done this numerous times, and limits how much weight i can do on the rest of my workout.
Gym: Shoulders/Traps
Barbell Shoulder Press
DB Lateral Raises
DB Front Raises
Reverse Flys
Rear Delt cable flys
Barbell Shrugs
After my workout i decided to do some high intensity cardio, which i have not done in months, so i can regain a cut 6 pack. (its going to be tough while bulking). So i just did 7 min of running to get use to it again, but my shins were getting real tight, as usual without doing it for a while.
My schedule for the next few days looks like this:
Friday: Back
Saturday: Chest
Sunday: Legs
Monday: Rest
Week 6 is almost over and mentally/emotionally i dont feel any different than i did 6 weeks ago. I have put on size and gained 15lbs (i weighed 189.5 today), my lifts have gone up but nothing really drastic. My current weights are..
Bench: 215x8
Squats:335x8
Deads: 335x6, 350x3
Anyway, im hoping to get to 200lbs in the next 6 weeks and see my lifts go up. My goal is to get 225x8 on bench.

Today i did back and had a great pump! I decided to change my routine up slightly and do multiple grip pullups/chinups to target my lats. and let me tell ya, they killed me. I have been hesitant to do deadlifts or bent over rows this week because my lower back has been sore recently, and ive heard alot of people talk about gettting away from those lifts. anyway..
Gym: Back
T-Bar Rows: 150x10, 165x10x3
Pullups/Chinups: 3 sets of all 3 grips, to failure
Lat Pulldown machine: 95x8x3
Cable Row: 165x10x3
Pullover machine: 165x10x3
Lat Pulldown: (cooldown) 135x10x3
I weighed in at 190.5-191
Hoping to reach 195 by next Saturday. I really want to start up my cardio but when is the best time to run without losing mass/muscle, to really target the fat? Ive heard in the morning on an empty stomach, or after you workout, but havent found a definite answer.
Tomorrow im doing chest

I decided to go ahead and hit some arms today so i can rest on Monday. I followed Phil Heath's bicep routine and did a solid tricep workout that i got a crazy pump and contraction. My arms were looking huge.
Gym: Biceps
Preacher curls
Incline DB curls
Concentration curls
Triceps:
Straight bar pushdowns
Overhead single extensions
Rope pulldowns: supersetted with Single Reverse pulldowns
My weight was right at 190 today...i was hoping it would be 191-192. its been at this weight for a week. ugh..it could be due to the cardio i've been doing in the mornings.
This morning i did high intensity running for 0.7mile, and 1 mile of walking fast. i can already feel my abs tightening from the cardio, lets hope it doesnt reduce my weight though, besides fat loss.
Tomorrow i will officialyy be HALF WAY through this 12 week cycle. I'll be doing my 13th pin, and will write up an overcap of the cycle thus far.

HALF WAY THROUGH CYCLE UPDATE Monday, July 25th
Hey guys, so i've officially been on Test E for 6 weeks...6 more to go! I just wanted to give everyone who's following an update on what has happened thus far, and the goals that i have for the next half of this first cycle.
So at the beginning of this cycle i had the hardest time breaking the ampoule open, but now it's second nature. Every injection has gone smoothly, aspirated every time and havent had any problems...except for accidentally pinning with a 20G one time..ouch!
I began the cycle weighing 174 (no creatine). During the first 2-3 weeks, i noticed my body changing shape. My shoulders were looking broader, and my arms were bigger. My weight was also going up slightly every week. In the past i had never had a strict strict diet plan, although i ate clean for the most part. But on this cycle i made an effort to get in 4000-5000 lean calories, 300g+ of protein, 400-450g carbs, 90g of fat everyday. I can def tell that this has helped me throughout these 6 weeks to help me grow.
During week 3 i began injecting Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) (subq) twice a week (500iu/wk). I had trouble mixing but in the end it worked out. The only thing i hate about the subq injections is my lower abs are sore every week from injecting twice a week. I dont feel an abscess, but it kind of hurts. My balls have maintained their size because of the HCG..which is always good lol.
I have been taking 12.5mg Aromasin ED from week 1 and havent had any symptoms such as bloat, gyno...I didn't want to have much water weight...just lean muscle.
Being that i have been eating so much, and went on vacation during week 3, i have gained a little fat..which was predicted, but i began adding in cardio 3 times a week starting in week 6, which i can already tell has helped me with fat loss. I even dropped 1-1.5lbs because of the cardio...which was just fat loss.
SIDES: After 6 weeks, here have been my sides: instead of having like 1 small pimple on my face, i now have about 8-10 zits on my face, but i have facial hair so it's hardly noticeable, and i have been using Neutrogena body wash/ prescribed acne treatment which if i stay reliable on using the products, it normally zaps the acne away.
Being that im 20y/o, i do sweat alot throughout the day (guess from hormones), so after adding Test E to the equation i do sweat alot more often which is a pain, but doesnt slow me down. I get hot alot more easily, especially at night, i sleep with no covers w the AC cold. lol.
I also find myself tired throughout the day, moreso than usual. But once i get in the gym i can always get pumped up.
The final thing ive noticed is sometimes little things really seem to bother me, or if somethings in my way while im doing something, i get really pissed..which is unusual. idk
GAINS: After 6 weeks, i have gone from 174 to 190. I've recently been at 190 for a week and 2 days, which im hoping to change. My lifts have increased as well, but nothing too drastic. When i started i was benching 205x8, 2 days ago i did 225x8, which i was stoked about. One of my goals was to be able to rep 225 which i am just starting to. My body looks thicker/bigger and my shorts/jeans hardly fit anymore. EVery body part has increased in size, but most noticeable in my legs/glutes! I've gone from being called small butt to big butt by my gf. haha. My chest and back were lacking but now they are alright..still want to add mass to my back. My arms are bigger, not big enough as Ronnie COleman says.
I've probably had 8 people ask what i was taking, normally as a joke, but im sure some peeps are questioning. lol. I have not told anyone though.
GOALS for the next 6 weeks: My goals for the remaining part of the cycle is to get to 200lb+ in weight. I want to be able to get 225x8x3 on bench (3 sets), maybe even 235x8-10. I want to really add mass to my back. (i have stopped deadlifting for the time being to let my lower back rest).
I am resting today, but am either doing legs or shoulders tomorrow. I will be on vacation starting Aug.1 for 2 weeks, but i am still going to be able to train and keep my diet spot on. Wish me luck..thanks for the ones who are following, hope this log is informative for some.

use the nolva and maybe clomid for PCT, no reason to use it during cycle if you have an A.I. on hand such as Aromasin.
HCG helps keep the size of testicles. if you don't run Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) your balls will shrink and it will take longer/be harder to recover during PCT, so itd be smart to run Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) so you can recover faster. the faster recover = more gains kept..roughly. I started Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) on week 3 doing 500iu/wk, splitting it to 2 250iu shots on MOnday and Thursday along with Test

Today i hit shoulders and had a solid workout. I normally begin with DB shoulder press but lately my delts get really sore (a sharp pain) after doing those and it prevents me from going hard on every other shoulder lift. So today i started with lateral and front raises to stretch them out and see if the pain stops.Then i hit some barbell shoulder press, which i havent done for years because one time i hurt my chest on this lift using that barbell thats curved behind your head. But today i used a straight barbell which went fine as long as i had a spot. SO after doing 2 exercises i hit the barbell and surprisingly did 135x10 with my shoulders already being fatigued.
Gym: Shoulders
DB Lateral Raises: (two arms at a time) 30x10, 35x10x2
Barbell Front Raises: (focusing on negatives) 45x10, 55x10x2
Barbell Shoulder Press: 95x15, 115x10, 135x10 (im new to this sort of barbell press)
Reverse PecDec (Rear Delt): 135x10x3
Rope Rear Delt Pulls: 90x10x3
Lateral Machine: 75x15x3 (cooldown)
I felt good lifting today. My weight however was at 189.
I did cardio this morning, only about 20 min. Do you think this is why my weight has dropped or is staying stagnant? My diet has been spot on.

This morning i hit back and did deadlifts which i have done in 2 weeks bc my back was hurting. I was hesitant doing them, but my back felt fine today and i maintained the weight i did last time.
Gym: Back
Deadlifts: 315x10, 335x6x2
T-Bar Rows: 165x8, 160x8, 135x10
3 Diff. Grip Pullups: to failure, 3 sets
Lat Pull machine: 200x8x2, 180x10
Cable Rows: 165x8x3
then i did a few abs. I felt great during my workout and my back is fried lol. Not too much weight increase today but i was glad to still be able to get 335 on deads after 2-3 weeks off deadlifting. My weight tofday was at 190. I don't know why i havent gained any more weight for the past week or two. My diet is solid, everyday, i train hard, i even bumped my Test to .750g/week instead of .500g/week.
Any ideas?

it means taking 40mg Nolva everyday (ED) for the first week, 40mg for second week, 20 for third week, and 10 for 4th week.
