DISASTER CYCLES! Let's hear yours :)

[jozifp103]

This thread is just for fun. Let's discuss past cycles...particularly ones that didn't go so well. One's that haunt you to this day. Too much tren? Deca dick? Oral only? Let's hear it!

Mine was my first ever cycle.

-500mg test cyp 12 weeks.
-NO AI whatsoever.
-Gained 28lbs, 18 of which were water....
-e2 skyrocketed
-emotional mess
-crying over ex girlfriend from 2 years before (pathetic)

PCT comes around....no test in my system, but TONS of estrogen. Now I'm even more out of balance and I'm in deep depression mode. Ran pct alongside 25mg ostarine...felt better, continued ostarine 6 weeks past pct (stupid idea) instead of letting myself recover fully....and at 23 years old my TT was stuck at 299ng/dL. Ran another pct.....same thing. Immediately signed up with IMT.....talk about stupid.



Who else has a catastrophic cycle they'd like to share?

My worst cycle was when I was a young teen. That cycle was used, had no rear brakes, the seat was broken, and the tires were bald.

It was catastrophic when it caused me to wipe out going around a corner. I've had much better cycles since. A unicycle, tandem bicycle, a road cycle, and a mountain bike.

I don't get it how possible to get whole cycle without AI I would be dead... after few days when E2 went just to 76pg/ml I was tired as hell can't imagine what would happen in 12 weeks...

*Sigh* Don't you hate how stupid you feel when you reflect on that years later.....anyways I'll bite.

I was 19 years old and just wrapping up my first season in College football. I was still a bodybuilder at heart and was frustrated I could not get my chest to grow no matter how hard I hit it. Everything else grew but my chest was just flat. So I started working out with a husky asian dude as my spotter at my school gym. He was about 4 years older than me. He one day started talking about gear and how he has been on it along with all his friends. At first the thought of gear terrified me, but over the next two weeks of working out with him he warmed me up to the idea. So I agreed. He sold me two bags of Halo(the real Halo not the PH crap). He told me all I had to do was take 1 pill 4 days a week and that's it. Did not tell me about PCT or AI...or diet.

So my cycle was:
8 weeks Halo. Have no clue what mg because I did not know what dosage each pill was. He just told me take 1 per day Mon-Thurs.


So after 2 and a half weeks I blew up. My coaches noticed it right away and looking back now, I think they knew what was going on but did not care. The downfall was, at age 19 I consumed more alcohol in 1 year than in all my other years, and this was right before summer time so there was non stop partying(summer in Cali starts in April). I drank from Thursdays to Sundays on my normal weeks. On heavy weeks of partying, I would drink from Tuesday to Sunday with Monday being my only day off from alcohol. And I would not just drink to get buzzed, I drank to get fucked up and black out. Looking back now I have no clue how I did not have liver failure.

So 8 weeks passed by and I felt like complete shit. When I got off, I did not do PCT(since I didn't know what it was) and my gym performance dropped hard, which my coaches also noticed. Worst cycle of my life.

Good thread. My last cycle (#5) used deca for first time (400mg a week) along with test. Front loaded with anavar for first five weeks. Did hcg, ai. Finished pct and test was 199 and e2 was 6. Crashed hard.

Really fucks with the mind. My baseline was 207lbs. Got up to 223lbs on cycle. Post pct? 201! Eating pretty much the same. And it appears to me that I am losing muscle and putting on fat. Still working out the same but workouts suck. Joints hurt, tired, depressed. Memory sucks!

Current on pct 2, and am feeling much better.

Lesson? Never do deca again. Thinking I may have to do one last cycle next year to jumpstart my regime.

Damn. That was brutal but the liver is an amazing organ. Oral plus HEAVY booze? Yikes

Ugh....that's rough man. nothing makes me more furious than a responsible adult giving bad advice to younger guys and setting them up for failure. Very irresponsible.
