DuRsT's First Cycle...Finally

So I just left the doc's office and I definitely have an infection in my quad. I really don't have a good idea why right now, I'm looking into it.

I may end up switching to another bottle of test that I have to see if that resolves the issue.

Damn that sucks bro. Are you sure you properly cleaned the area and switched needles before injecting?
 
You didn't clean the needle, right? Never clean the needle. Always switch it. Another common mistake is trying to blow on the alcohol to dry it. Never do that.

No, I did everything I could to be hyper-sensitive to all of the info I have read. I actually didn't change the needle, I pulled and pinned with a 25G. It takes a minute to pull but isn't that bad.

It is actually a normal instinct to want to blow the alcohol dry, but I was able to resist lol

I would swap it out from now on just to be on the safe side. They're so cheap that there's no reason not to. That sucks if your test has contaminates.

My new needles should be arriving here in the next day or so, so I will be able to swap them out on the next round.

I have been working with my source and we feel like the issues I have been having are due to an allergic reaction to something in the oil.

Right now their plan is to make up a batch without this particular ingredient and send it over, will keep you guys posted.
 
I don't believe I have mentioned it in this thread before, but I got my gear through Pinnacle. I talked with them about the issues I have been having and they have absolutely bent over backwards to help me out and are some of the coolest/nicest guys I have met on the web. They are making a custom batch for me without EO to work around my allergy problem which is awesome. I expect to have my new vials of test early next week which means I will miss one pin but that shouldn't be a big deal. Simply because of the customer service I have received I am a customer for life with these guys.

So I haven't been able to work out most of the week so I decided to go into the gym this morning.

It was honestly too early since everything I had my allergic reaction to be going in to the gym, but I got on bench and kept things light for the most part.

135x20
185x15
225x9

After this my heart was pounding, I thought the veins in my neck were going to pop out and run away. I sat down for a few minutes to calm down and then went to a seated dumbbell curl, again keeping things light with 30 lber's. I only got one set in before I decided it was time to go, my heart rate was just out of control.

My muscles were loving the work, but I just couldn't take it yet. I am feeling much closer to normal when resting now but I will give the gym another couple of days before I try again, perhaps Monday.
 
If someone has issues with EO it can be a nightmare! I personally wish no lab put any EO in gear. It's just not needed for regular strength products. If you want test 500 or something then Eo comes into play IMO
 
Ok, so I finally made it back into the gym today AND got to work out! It was great to be pushing some iron again!

I took it easy to ensure I could complete the workout and still got a decent one in.

So I have found out my new shipment of gear should be here in the next day or so...what do you guys think.....should I try to play catch up by hitting 250mg a couple times in a row or just resume my normal schedule?

No kidding, it has been hell to pay for over a week now, just coming out of the woods now so to speak. Out of all my reading on the boards I had not heard of this potential issue, I think people should be made more aware of it when starting a first cycle.
 
Forgot to mention I am getting some itchiness and sensitivity on my nips. I have been running aromasin at 6.25mg ED, will bump that up to 12.5mg ED to squash it.

Also about to order some letro and additional Nolva for just in case.
 
The itchiness and sensitivity have been taken care of by the Aromatase inhibitor (AI), so no worries there for now.

My new shipment of non-EO Test e got delivered, going to pin some this afternoon to see how it goes, will update afterwards.

Guys I have to tell you Pinnacle has been nothing but great to me, highly recommend this outfit.
 
Back to life!

The guys at Pinnacle shipped me some non-EO based test e and I finally got a chance to pin on Friday, no issues! I can't even begin to explain how much better I feel about everything now! Huge thanks to those guys for working with me, they have been awesome.

I'm planning on pinning again on Sunday to kind of get back on my schedule and I'll hopefully be able to start eating again, throughout this whole ordeal I lost my appetite in a huge way, I couldn't even really look at food. I have lost down to 233, with the right diet and all I expect to see this number start to climb over the coming weeks.
 
I pinned another 250mg last night and felt good, so I was able to hit the gym this morning. The pin last night was the smoothest I have had to date, left glute and was almost completely painless other than a slight pinch when pushing into the skin. Minor soreness in that leg today, hopefully I'll get past the virgin muscle issue here in the next couple of weeks, don't know how long it takes tho.

Worked on legs and chest today, and I have definitely gotten weaker since I have gone through everything but got a good workout in nonetheless. Weight is down to 230 right now, I am actually about to have to go buy some 34" pants, the 36's I bought a couple of weeks ago are now too big! I never thought I would be back in these pant sizes again, so I am definitely happy about that.

I am feeling freaking great today, especially when compared to how I have been feeling over the last couple of weeks.
 
im glad to hear you are feeling good bro!
there isnt a better feeling than being able to fit in some comfy pants!!
No kidding man, especially when those pants are 8 INCHES smaller than what you started with. :dj:

So today is another pin day, but both of my glutes are still sore as a mofo.....I'm thinking about hitting one of my delts today, any input from you guys?

My first two pins were in my left and right delts and I had no pain whatsoever, but just the normal bruise feeling the next day or so that comes with it. Very easy spot, so it would be a good idea to rotat around from the glutes to the delts and even the quads. Just my two cents.
