DuRsT's First Cycle...Finally

[DuRsT]

Well gents, today is day 1 due to some research on my part and the knowledge of our well esteemed board vets. Thanks guys!

I have a simple cycle planned out, pretty cookie cutter from what I have seen. The only things I haven't decided on is if I want to run either a 12 or 15 week cycle with the test and either 4 or 6 weeks with the dbol, I have enough of each to take it out longer if I want.

Test E @ 500mg/wk 12-15 weeks
Dbol @ 25mg/ED 4-6 weeks
Aromasin 12.5mg ED

PCT
Nolva 40/40/20/20
Clomid 50/50/50/50

As far as diet goes, I have already gotten my new diet from 3J and just got home from the grocery store, so we're all set there. BTW, it is a SHITTON of food, I'm not sure how I'm going to eat it all!

So today was my first ever pin, and it went very well! I washed up, wiped everything down with alcohol pads, aspirated, and let it rip in my right quad. Unfortunately I only have 25g needles right now so it takes forever to pull the oil in but I have some larger gauges on the way.

About an hour later I got some food and took my first dbol.....I can see what the problem with stacking this stuff on a first run is now. After taking the dbol we went grocery shopping and my BP was definitely elevated, had some funny feelings in my throat and some coughing, almost like you inhaled some dust you just couldn't quite get out. Kinda nearly made me flip out a little.

Everything is looking a little better now as I have chilled out a bit.....maybe I just threw a bit too much at my system in a short amount of time. I will keep an eye on this for sure.

For training I'll be moving over to a 5x5 routine in the next week or so, so any comments or advice in this area would be great.

Thanks to all who have helped, should be a fun ride!

Awesome Durst! I'll be keeping a close eye on this log.

You have a proper cycle, proper post cycle therapy (pct) and 3J in your corner. It's going to be one hell of a ride!

 

[DaHurt]

Congrats DuRsT! I'll be following your log for sure man!

How much dbol did you take at once? Was it a 25mg tab?

 

[DuRsT]

Yeah, same difference it was a 25mg cap.

Thanks buddy, I'm still watching the show you're putting on as well!

 

[bigherm2121]

Ya ill be keeping up with this

 

[DaHurt]

Maybe try doing half at a time?

If it's a cap, I wouldn't bother. Not necessary.

Durst, weren't you in the middle of a androseries v3 log? Did that not work out?

 

[DaHurt]

oh shit yeah just realized its a cap...haha hopefully it gets better!

Thanks Herm, good to have you along my man! I'm still watching the Tren Hex log for sure!

As always bud, you are quite astute! The PH cycle got dropped a month in because I just wasn't seeing any benefit to it whatsoever. I know there are many logs out there where guys pick up strength, size, recovery, etc. but I was not one of them. Figured I would simplify the equation and instead of forcing the body to convert just introduce some good 'ol straight test

oh shit yeah just realized its a cap...haha hopefully it gets better!

Thanks man, I feel pretty close to normal now other than the cough I have going on since I pinned and took the dbol....not sure what is going on with that but it could just be coincidence.

Gonna be totally honest with you, I didn't figure you were going to see ANY results on that shit. I think you're going to really enjoy test. It's a world of difference, just give it the time it needs to kick in, 4-5 weeks, before you start judging.

Right on brother, I'm going to give this stuff all the time it needs because I know it's going to do me right.

Attention New Guys: If you think you know how to eat on a bulk cycle, you're wrong. Take whatever you're eating and multiply it by 10. I just made my lunch(es) for tomorrow and it is INSANE. Huge props to 3J for working with me on this, he is the man!

 

[DaHurt]

are you carb cycling?

 

[DuRsT]

are you carb cycling?

yes sir! I packed more food for today than I would have eaten in three days before. It is definitely going to be a challenge to eat it all.

Hell I was grilling at 10:00 last night just to cook all my meat for the week lol

Yea boy!!! I'm coming up on my third week so should be kicking in soon. I'll be updating a lot.

Ok, day two

So I'll be honest guys, when I got up this morning I wasn't sure this shit was for me. I felt shaky, my heart was pounding constantly, felt like I was doing coke or something!

After doing some research, I figured out what the problem is! I had been taking Torem for my PCT from the PeeWeeHormone cycle I attempted. I was also taking T3 to assist in some weightloss, I am hypothyroidic (slow metabolism).

What I found this morning is that SERM's actually reduce the efficacy of T3....so when I upped my T3 dose yesterday and did not take the Torem since my cycle had begun, it was similar to multiplying my T3 dose. Thankfully I did not take any T3 this morning so it should take a day or so to work itself out. Whew!

I spend way more time cooking than lifting...and I love it! Yeah today is high carb day for me The weekend was terrible - low carb on Sat and ZERO carb on Sun...pretty much dropped like 8 lbs...so I'm really looking forward to today!

Stick to the diet bro you're going to be amazed!

Dodged that bullet. The simpler the better man! You going to keep taking the T3 at all?

I am going to lay off of the T3 for awhile, I seriously thought that shit was going to kill me!

My normal BP ranges around 107-110 over 70....I checked it yesterday and it was up to 136/86. Today it was back down to 124/80 and I'm sure will continue to decrease.

Another day or so and I'll likely start the dbol again. As long as I have been playing around with supplements and all I should have known to only change one thing at a time!

Welcome to the next level bud.

 

[DuRsT]

Welcome to the next level bud.

Thanks bud, your log made me want it even more.

So it's official....I'm sick as a mofo. Took my temp earlier and it's clocking in around 101 degrees, got the shakes, hot and cold, just miserable. Not sure if this is the test flu or a coincidence.

I did make it to the gym today, but the workout was obviously sub-par. My right quad is swollen and I'm limping like I got shot, although no redness or bruising just swelling and a good deal of pain. Can't wait to get past this part.
