2nd Cycle up and Running!

[KenMasters]

Hello everyone.

This is my 2nd cycle. It will be for 3 months (September - November) As I said before I had one cycle in the past with just Test-E 500mg (per week) and had some good results back then. Now this time around I decided on a second cycle and was about to have the help of our dear forum friend 3J but unfortunately because of the nasty Capital Controls forced here in Greece I was unable to pay the man and now once again I'm on my own, trying the best I can with all the knowledge I have from the forum, from you guys and from what little 3J had told me in the past.

Anyway, my 2nd cycle even though it was supposed to be a Test-E & Deca cycle again because of the Capital Controls I was unable to get any Deca and am only able to purchase Test-E from the pharmacy which is OK to buy without a prescription so I thought, what the heck, lets do another Test-E cycle and that is what I'm doing right now.

This is what I'm using which is almost the same like my first cycle except on 1st cycle I had used Iranian Test (which I later heard that is not that good) so now I'm using Norma Hellas Test:

Test-E 250mg (250mg Wednesday & 250mg Sunday)
Half an Aromasin pill per day
Vitamin C (3 per day)
Multivitamin (1 per day)
Vitamin Omega (1 at night)
Niacin (once per day)
Life Support 2.0 (twice a day)

Also have all PCT stuff needed after the cycle has ended.

My diet is at a 3000-3500 callories and my workout is mainly heavy lifting (pyramid style) and some light cardio.

Will keep you posted on how things are going.

OK, I'm back with some update so far. Although it is still too soon for anything I just thought I update the progress either it is good or bad.

Anyway, bellow I have a table where I had my measurement in August 2015 and then decided to take my next measurement a month after I started my cycle so here it is, the results which I think don't look that good but I guess since I'm on a bulking diet I should have expected this so I won't complain:

Hello to everyone. I hope this time I can get some replies by someone. Anyway, the 2nd month of the cycle is almost gone, I will be posting progress again at the start of next month. But I have a question. Something feels off for some reason which was not there in the 1st same cycle. This time around I have noticed that even though I can get an erection and hold it (more or less) I am having difficulty "finishing" and when I do the quantity is lower than before. And I'm wandering what am I doing wrong? This cycle is the same as my last one, my diet is also the same, so what am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me?

Could be estradiol related. Have you run blood work?

I noticed you are not using hCG. I would strongly encourage you to use it during your cycle. It helps minimize testicular atrophy which could be contributing to your symptoms. 250iu twice a week.

Had done blood work before cycle but have not done any during the cycle. Like in my last cycle I did blood work before and after.

As for HCG even in my last cycle when I did it with a trainer he did not prompt me to get it. This time around with what I read here I wanted to get it but as soon as the Capital Controls took over I was unable to get it, and even when I asked around in Pharmacies they don't know any medication called HCG. Anyway, will try and book a blood work (had it in mind too) and see what's up.

Definitely get blood work now to see what is going on.


And definitely get hCG. They have to carry it in pharmacies there. It is a drug women use for fertility treatment.

OK, just talked to the Clinic but they want me to tell them what sort of Hormonal Blood Work I want to do. The blood work I do before and after are a complete set they have of blood work (with a discount) including General Blood Work, HIV, FSH, LH, Free Test, Whole Test, E2, Prolactin, Cortizole, PTH, C3, etc, etc... so can you PLEASE specify what exactly to ask for so I won't have to pay the huge amount of money I pay for the complete set I do before and after? I have the before test to show you if you want but they are in Greek.

I will talk to drug store again today about the hcg, I googled searched and I think in Greece it is called Pregnyl so will try to find it with this name.

Read the FAQs thread I provide a link to in my signature. I discuss what blood work to get in there.

Pregnyl is a brand name for hCG. Just as Arimidex is to Anastozole.

Thanx Megatron,

I will do everything soon as I'm now in bed at doctors request (3rd day today) with a flu and high fever. I hate not being able to work out.

 

[KenMasters]

Hello again Megatron,

The flu is gone so I bought the pregnyl and started this week. I will be pinning it separately from the test, I hope that is ok. And have set a date next week to go for the blood work and see what's up.
