Hey everyone, I understand that I am new to your guys' forum. I am a daily contributor on ASF and have my log running over there, but felt like I should share my log with some of the forums i've used in the past during my research phase pre-cycle. Anyway, enjoy the log, share anything you'd like to say.
Going to be a very basic cycle:



1-13 750mg/wk Test E - split Monday and Thursday
1-13 500iu HCG/wk pinned with Test E
1-13 12.5mg Aromasin EOD to everyday with incresed dosage depending on bloodwork

After last pin wait 2 weeks and then begin PCT

20/20/20/20 Nolva, 50/50/50/50 Clomid

All through PuritySourceLabs


Attached is my pre-cycle blood work with Estradiol at 28 and Test at 445(kind of low considering im 23), and I will be getting blood work done at 6 weeks as well. I am currently in my 3rd week of this cycle.

Nutrition:
Caloric/macro goals: 330C/300P/37F, ~3300cal

Breakfast:
4 whole egg, 1 cup egg white, 1 cup spinach, some random veggies
2 slice ezekial break
1cup oats+1 scoop protein+1 cup fruit

I alternate between 2 pre-made meals depending on what sounds better at the time, 3 times a day.

1. 2 cup rice, 8oz chicken

2. 1 cup rice, 4oz salmon, 1 cup cucumber, 1 cup carrot

Dinner:
14oz of either steelhead, tilapia, salmon, lean pork, ground turkey, or steak, depending on whats thawed out
1-2 cup rice depending on carb intake earlier in day
1 cup sweet potato
and 1-2 cups veggies typically either asparagus, or veggy variety

Shakes(post workout/before bed)
1 cup almond milk/2 scoop protein/1cup greek yogurt/1 large banana/ice/1 cup oats


Other shit:
10g creatine
10g arginine
Animal pak
BCAA's
preworkout
carbs pre-workout
atleast 1 gallon water a day. no excuses.

I count/record all my meals/snacks throughout the day so if I dont finish a meal at some point during the day I force my self to eat those remaining macros/cals at the end of the day. I also have 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar a day, random cups of green ]tea, sometimes coffee with minimal creamer, etc etc. We eat VERY lean and clean food. I don't play around with that fast food bullshit, or other shit with a longer shelf life than i do. I used to workout hella intense on only ~1300cal and 150g protein and since i've adjusted my diet and forced myself to eat the right amount holy fuck does nutrition help.


At beginning of cycle (24 AUG) I weighed in at 195.8, currently sitting at 210. Trying to post my pre-current cycle pictures but for some reason this specific board isnt working, i'll keep toying with it and update with pictures.
 
Weigh in: 210.8 again... Not sure if my scale is off or if im seriously 210.8 for the 2nd day in a row.

Today was Back. I've started to re-incorporate 1 exercise of GVT per workout to start throwing on some serious mass. Strength is getting insane each day now, way stronger than I was just 3 weeks ago. Starting to hit new PR's, which is why you see odd jumps in weight on exercises because the strength is going up quicker than I can figure out my weight-to-rep ratio.

Pin yesterday went great into right delt, slight PIP but it's still pretty virgin muscle. Pinned HCG into right quad like I usually do except this time I pinned on the outer side of my thigh instead of directly on top, felt 100% better.

Pinning today went pretty good. I must have gone through a vein into the muscle because I aspirated the syringe and no blood drew into it, injected all the test, pulled out the needle and very dark blood came out and dripped, all good though. Feeling FANTASTIC in the gym lately, able to hit a lot more weight now on most lifts.

UPDATE on the Gyno: From various members advice I bumped up the sin dosage to 20mg ED +added in 20mg of Nolva ED as well (letro is on the way in case this doesnt work). So far I'm on day 3 of this gyno treatment and my nips are much less painful today and the lumps seem to be going down in size (definitely the left). Going to keep this going for a bit until its gone, if the gyno doesnt go away im going to remove the nolva and add .5mg letro for a bit. I ordered labs to check E levels and I go in tomorrow morning. Was supposed to do it today but I accidentally ate food this morning (supposed to fast for 12 hrs). Should get the results this weekend.

Today I decided to push the weight and get a max on squat. Guys.. the strength today was absolutely in-fucking-sane. I have NEVER squatted that much (below parallel), and everything today was all new personal records.

Pinned left delt; delts are definitely my favorite spot to pin right now.

Update on Gyno: Got letro in the mail, after adding in Nolva lumps and pain were still there, added in letro at 2.5mg/day. Left lump is going down, nips look more like "nips", lots of join achyness probably from the Letro. Still waiting on blood work results.

Yesterday was supposed to be legs but I had to go into work for the morning/early afternoon, and had a birthday party for a neighbor to attend so I am going to do legs tomorrow in addition to my chest workout.
 
Still going strong. Sitting at 217 right now (started cycle at 190). Sickness hit our house again so I haven't felt too great the past couple days. Test is definitely making me super irritated all the time, and I've noticed that the few times I've gotten mad, I got reallllly fucking pissed.
