Not a good start to my day.
Had the rare opportunity to sleep in, but my mind and body insisted I wake up at 5am.
Chest day. Within 20 minutes, by just slightly turning my neck while maxing out on incline bench press, I pulled a fucking muscle. Game over. I was able to get a few more sets in, but with lighter weights and on isolateral machines. No free weights :\ I'm praying to the steroid gods this will not ruin my week. Isn't my day enough? ISN'T IT!? I lost a good work out and have to clean my apartment, do laundry and wait tables without turning my neck 30 degrees
I'm lucky that none of my managers were working this morning because I threw out quite a few profanities upon injury.
Weighed in at 178. Haven't gained a pound. My guess is when I weighed in, initially, at 180, the extra 2 1b was water weight, and I weighed 178 the whole time. Motherfucker. It's weird because IMO I look more filled out. but I guess it was my imagination. It's also weird because I've been so full somedays I've felt nauseous. Other days I'm ravenous and there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason. Upping calories by adding another serving of rice/beans/oil, and I guess I have to eliminate cardio from my regiment.
For my own benefit: 4th injection.

Pretty fucking sure I have test flu. I have a stuffy nose, sore throat, a fever and the motherfucking chills (damn it to hell!), and it all seemed to hit me at once, but hopefully I'm wrong and I'll feel better tomorrow morning.
Hypothetically if I were to obtain a bottle of DBOL, would it be unwise to introduce it mid-late cycle?

Yes, it is just a cold. For a quick minute it did resemble all symptoms, though and the rapid onset really had me scratching my head. I'm shitty at being sick because I refuse to stay inside and rest.
Increased my calories by about 500. We shall see. I'm OKAY with gaining a little bit of fat, in so long as I gain muscle right along side it
Libido is noticeably increased, but my libido has bouts of highs anyway, so it's hard to say if its an effect of the test. I'm also retaining more water than just a few weeks ago, but again, it could easily be one of many variables, including calorie surplus.

Some bad news.
That injury I had on sunday? Yeah, it still hurts to do anything involving my rear deltoids. Today was supposed to be leg/shoulders. Ended up being legs and whatever I could without being in pain. Really stupid; the smart thing to do would have been to rest (no gym, no BJJ) since Sunday and by today I would have been fine. Nope. Since Sunday I've been fighting and lifting as much as any other day, and now I pay the price. I'll rest until Sunday. Currently icing. I
Tomorrow I'll still go in and do arms, but mostly seated lifts. Shouldn't be a problem...But no BJJ and nothing else until Sunday, and if I don't feel 95 percent Sunday, then Monday. I motherfucking hate being injured. Everything I love to do involves ballistic movement. I rather have the flu than be injured.
Tonight will be my 5th injection, and beginning of 3rd week. At end of this week, I'll post a few progress pics. I forgot to weigh myself this morning.

Good news, everyone! 181.5 1bs this morning PWO. If you remember, just last week I was 178 1bs PWO. I still don't see a big difference in body comp., but maybe someone else will; I'll post pics on Sunday, marking the end of my 3rd week of injecting and second of bulking.
The pulled muscle is still pretty painful. Last night I laid on a 2 pound bag of ice for 2 sets of 30 minutes and chilled in my gym's hot tub for a little bit. This morning there's some improvement, but not enough for BJJ, unfortunately. Still planning on resting until Sunday. This morning I worked arms. It was a decent work out, but I was distracted by a pair of tits. Approaching women in the gym is a fine line; I'd say most don't want to be approached, but dress like they want the attention. The few that really do want to talk are fucking crazy.

Week 3 Progress pics. View attachment 554190View attachment 554191View attachment 554192View attachment 554193
relaxed photos, except most muscular. Been working on those biceps, so hopefully by week 12 there will an improvement in that department.

Thanks, bud! Yep, wasn't expecting more than the few pounds I've gained at this point, which is right about where I wanted to be. I wish I had cut cardio and added more calories sooner, but what are you going to do? Glad I started bulking before test was schedule to kick in!
I'm also thankful I used a long ester for my first cycle
Edit: Worded wrong. I wasn't expecting more weight at this point, but I could have done better.

Good news, everyone!
Today I weighed in @ 184.5 1bs PWO (up about 6 pounds from first day of bulk). I also got a compliment in the gym that I'm getting swole!
I had a decent work out. Not amazing, but pretty good. Strength is about the same, and so is energy. Wednesday will be the end of my 3rd week of injecting, and beginning of my 4th, so I still have some time for the magic to happen.
My friend gave me some stupid sample preworkout supplement he got at a BB show in NY last week. Dude came in the gym with a paper grocery bag full of sample packets. All I have to say is I'm glad I don't waste my money on that garbage. I remember Gaspari Nutrition's, Size On, being decent, but I was probably just younger and more naive.
The stuff I used described a work out full of "AMAZING pumps. UNREAL growth and stimulation!" with some 400 pound bodybuilder doing curls on the cover. Right. The only difference I felt is a stronger urge to urinate.
15 pounds left to reach my 200 pound goal!

Nothing new here. Today was my 7th injection and I weighed in @ 186 pounds this morning.
Strength and energy are about the same. I guess my sex drive is a little higher, but I'm usually pretty horny, so it's hard to tell.
Turns out I may have skin cancer! Yay! I'm getting a biopsy next week to see fo sheezy. Don't worry folks, these things rarely spread!

I still think this shit is bunk or severely underdosed. i'm not feeling a goddamn thing, and the scale is about as stubborn as it is when I'm clean. In fact, I'll have to increase my calories again. I weighed in @ 184.5 this morning. Last weigh in was 186, but I imagine the 1.5 lbs was h2o.
Getting bloodwork done in a week to see exact T levels; if it's bunk, I'll be starting a pinn cycle of prop, me thinks. Either way, I'm upset, as this cycle will run me around 700 dollars, seeing as I wasted money on 3 vials of bunk ass shit. My fault, really. I did only a little bit research in UGL's before, and now that I look back, I see they were extremely biased.
