I'm starting to draw a little more attention. At the office today a co-worker added that I was looking a bigger. I responded wit " Yeah, I've been bulking, wish I could say it's all muscle". Slim fit dress pant and H&M dress shirts are no longer a good option for work:). I weighed today at 183 which was a surprise and set a big PR of 5x5 bench press with the 95's dumbbells. My shoulder is still not cooperating so I'll probably be using the DB's for some time.

I pinned today for injection #7 which ends my third week on cycle. The pinning was absolutely flawless and I'm actually beginning to look forward to the next shot. Weight was up big time today 184 before workout and 185 after workout. Biggest change has to be mental for me, very hard to explain but in general just feeling like a happier guy:) I really fond of condensed workouts. It might not seem like out but they yield consistent progress.

Wt.184.5
Sides: Forearm pain still lagging, slight acne of face.
Effects: Mental wellness is at a high , strength and weight increasing slowly
Total Weight Gain +/- : + 7 lbs

Sounds good brah. Im looking at my first cycle and its nice to read about your exoerience. How many times are you pinning a week?
 
Awesome thread!! I start my similar cycle at the end of Jan. Looking forward to seeing your results. What days are you pinning? Sun and Wed each week?
 
I pinned yesterday at 250 mgs instead of 200. I'm tempted to up it too 500 mgs a week but I'll see how 450mgs treats me for now. I'm having no estrogen related sides and had a few zits on back, but overall skin is good. I was sick over last week and dropped a few lbs. Even though I was sick I still managed to hit PR's nearly every workout. I'll weigh in tomorrow.

Back squat 4x3 with 245 (oly style)
Front Squat 3x3 with 220

Had a great workout, set some PR's. Acne is becoming a little more pronounced but not a give away. I have some fungal antibiotics encase it becomes a problem. Sorry about the pics, I don't really have any mirrors available and don't want to freak out my roommates.

Wt. 185.5
Side effects: Slight increase in acne
Gains: I'm getting progressively stronger every week. I'm able to become a little more intense during my lifts.

Another great day with non-existent sides. I pinned in my right quad today and it went smoothly, I also dosed 12.5mgs of aromasin. Kicked ass in today's back workout with a 15lb PR on dead lifts. This also marks the end of my 4th week.

Notable work out updates

Close Grip Bench 5x5 w/ 225 is a 40lbs increase in comparison to start of cycle.
 
Great log man. Interested to see the end result, good gains for the 5th week. Killing it by the 10th
 
Thanks man, the biggest surprise for me has been the lack of sides and the mental benefits.

I'm always cautious when pinning and today's was more or less painless. I wasn't able to dead lift today because my back was feeling a little off, but overall was another great workout. My diet has essentially been a dirty bulk but I'm slowly cleaning it up.

Everything is going really good. This is probably the best I've ever felt mentally and physically . I hit 190 today, which is the heaviest I've ever weighed. Still no sides what so ever, sex drive is ridiculousness, like overwhelmingly so. I'll throw a progress pic up tomorrow, my traps have blown up and I've outgrown a lot shirts.
