Ok, so here goes nothing. My reason for this post is two part, one is for me to keep a journal of my journey to steroid use. Part two is for other average guys like me that may be considering AAS, so maybe they can learn from my experience. I am planning on posting a fair amount of before, during, and after pics. I do also have some MPB, which has been decently halted by Finasteride, so I will be documenting that with pics as well. I know eveyones experiences will differ, so I'll just be one example. btw I have been taking Finasteride for a year and have had no negative side effects, equiptment still works like I was 18(for now).
I am 33 years old, 5'10"+, currently 196lbs(thanks to Christmas dinners) and I have been training fairly decent for the last 3 years. I currently go to school and work in the health/supplement industry. I am estimating my bf% to be around 14-15%, but maybe someone will correct me after I post some pics.
My diet is ok, but will be completely overhauled once I start my cycle. My diet currently looks like this: 4000 Cals, 108g fat, 445g carbs, 310g protein. I've been doing this for about 3 months and have gained about 11lbs(im not counting the extra holiday 3lbs I gained over the last 2 days). I know my diet numbers are probably pretty garbage and I get a great deal of my calories from weight gainers and Wendys, but I plan on going all clean whole foods for my cycle. (3J's posts got me motivated)
I wasn't even thinking about juicing until a conversation with a trusted co-worker got me interested. I had been running a natural test booster and I was told that for about the same price I could do the real thing. Like a fool, I quickly said, "sign me up"(mistake #1). My knowledge of AAS was limited, to say the least, but I figured a 12 week cycle would be cool. I was told it would be $100 a vial and that a vial would last me one month. I figured I would get two vials and as long is the first vial went well, I would get vial three(mistake #2). Two hundred dollars down and three weeks later(I was told it would take three days), I had myself two vials of "test".
I was instructed by my trusted "friend" that I should pin two cc's e3d and that a popular natural test booster was all I needed for post cycle therapy (pct). Now this could have been huge mistake number three and four, but I'm not THAT trusting . I went home and started doing my homework.
If I would have just followed directions, I would have been pinning 200mg of test prop e3d, and the vials that were supposed to last me two months would have got me through one. I definitely feel I was f#@ked more financially than I would have been physically, at least until I got to the PCT.
At $200 per month though, I don't think I would have put in another order with him.
So after doing some research(thanks to this site and a couple others like it : ) this is the cycle that I am planning. First, I do want to explain that my goal is to keep this simple. I'm not doing this to compete or to necessarily enhance my athletic ability, although adding twelve inches to my verticle would be nice(I've always dreamed of dunking : P lol), I just want to be satisfied with my body, if that's possible. I do feel like I'm close. I think that at 220lbs with a little bit lower bf% I'll be happy. So here's my plan.
8 weeks of test prop/150mg eod
250 iu of HCG e3d starting on day 3 until 4 days before last test shot.
Arimadex ed up to PCT
PCT
Nolvadex 40/40/20/20 starting 3 days after last test shot.
I'm planning a fairly clean diet around 4500 calories, maybe I'll get lucky and after posting some pics, 3J will hook me up with some custom numbers.
So I am currenty in the getting some money together stage since I almost spent more money on 2000 mg of test prop than I will have to on my entire cycle + post cycle therapy (pct). I am hoping to place an order with a trusted sponsor within the next two weeks. So until T-Day all I can do is just keep training hard and maybe work on pre-cooking my damn meals
