First post on first cycle, and im about 8 weeks in and so far very mildly impressed by the cycle. Wouldn't say it was anything crazy so far just a lot of strength gains and bit of size mainly in the shoulders and back. I have 6 yrs of training experience and a very well built physique before so im very underwhelmed by the results quite honestly.
Currently using
500mg Test e a week
0.25 arimidex EOD
50mg Anavar per day
My stats:
25y/o
5"8
Before:
-204lbs
-maybe 13% BF? I dont pay atttention to this shit cause i have abs..im fairly lean anyways. Looking in the mirror is better.
After:
-211
- leaner..possibly same bf%
So i feel like my diet is good, it's always been pretty good eating around 3300 calories -300g protein, 379g carb, and 75g fat and possibly around 6-8 hrs of sleep. Lets be real 8hrs a sleep everyday and adulting is not always possible especially in the service, but i feel like the results of the cycle so far have been very underwhelming as far as size but my strength has definitely gone up. Incline benching 185 for 6 reps to 225 for 12 reps so i know something is working and it might very well be just the Anavar? No clue, but the size has been minimal..i guess people notice my muscles look fuller and maybe my shoulders are bit bigger but i think it's to to injecting in both shoulders a week. I am using UGL gear and i have real gear currently from my TRT doc but it wasnt enough for a full cycle so im just finishing off these UGL bottles and saving the pharm stuff for the future or if i decide to c***se.
I have not experienced the insane amount of energy that people claim, in fact i feel normal and actually way more irritable then i already was as a person lol, i get upset over the smallest things as if im on edge, i sleep more and in fact the cycle has made me way more tired and find myself kinda lethargic outside of the gym all day. I have slight bloating in face, and i notice my abs pop forward more from bloating. My nipples are slightly puffy and softer, but it could be water retention...very minimal sensitivity, no tenderness, no hard lump, no pain in anyways and it actually tightens depending on the time of day but in the morning..definitely more puffy then normal. My dick actually has a harder time staying hard during sex, my libido isn't crazy, i dont get random boners, and my orgasms are bit weaker. I pull in some hot chicken strips weekly and it sucks cause i go limp and have to focus on getting hard again and some of the partners were the best iv ever had, but where before i was jizzing to girls who were absolutely dead fish in the bed.
Bloodwork may not be accurate since it was taken at 2pm since my labs were gonna expire and i decided to do it last day like a dummy.
Free test - 678
E2 - 65.46
LH/HF - Balls are shut down...they are low
and my CBC's were all normal? lipids were fine, my blood pressure is always good, in fact its normally low.
Looking for advise...is what im going through normal for first cycle? is 0.25 arimidex thats only bringing me to 65.46 which isnt insanely high but maybe im estro sensitive and slight elevation crashes my results? Bump to 0.25 arimidex? Take my pharma Test C instead for last 4 weeks?

I really think my shoulders are only broader or fuller due to injection sites being only delts...i hate glute injections cause i cant even sleep with the pip. Arms maybe slightly bigger, chest is fuller. Only been experiencing strength gains so far, no real big size difference. Still firm believer its the anavar giving me strength and not test.
