First Cycle Log: 300mg Test-E 10 Week

[glassjaw]

Just started out my first cycle quite low, just testing the waters in regards to sides and tolerance. Would rather start down low and work up, than start high and get sides etc.

Stats
28 years old
6'2
187lb
14% Bodyfat (got top four abs)
Training for 2 years, consistantly (4-5 days a week without a break) for 12 months.

I cut 15kg naturally with training and diet, then started a slow bulk.

Weeks 1-10 - Fuerza300mg Test E
2 weeks after last pin, start Clomid 50/50/50/50
Have Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on hand incase of itchy nips, bloating etc.

Diet is 3600 cals, 270p/405c/100f or as close to as possible. I fill my macros with chicken breast, steak, rice, potato, pasta, oats, breads, nuts, fruits, vegetables, milk and oils.

Training is a simple 4 day split, 5x5 on compounds followed by 4x8-12 on isolations.

Supplements are Orange Triad, ON Whey, Anabolic Pump (Waxy Maize Starch, Citrulline Malate, L-Arginine AKG, Creapure Creatine, Beta-Alanine & Primilin 4-Hydroxyisoleucine), Fish Oil.



I will log my daily workouts and pin schedule in here. Pinned on Saturday, trained Monday. Will chuck my first two training sessions in here. Drawing with 23g, pinning with 25g. Took a little while but I'm in no rush.

Good luck mate.
Just wondering if you should be throwing nolva 40/40/20/20 in with your PCT

 

[glassjaw]

Considering it, but have read many things that say I could just run one on a low dose. I will continue to read more, my source has them on hand

Thanks for stopping by.

Use the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) all the time to avoid high blood pressure or waisted test conversion to estrogen
