Halfway through Sustanon cycle

[hkarmy]

Would love feedback from people on this. Thanks in advance!

This is my first cycle. I'm 25 years old. Been training seriously for about 7 years. I started this cycle almost 5 weeks ago. Reason for this cycle. I'm at a pretty sick physique naturally. I compete and have placed in shows but the only difference from me and 1st place is just a little mass. I have decided to do Test to help me gain maybe 10lb of lean mass. Nothing too insane.

Cycle: 10 week Sustanon from Delta 250mg Monday and 250mg Thur. (Total 500mg a week).

AI: Aromasin on 3rd week to help with bloating and prevent gyno. Taking 12.5mg every day and will continue all the way through post cycle therapy (pct).

post cycle therapy (pct): Nolv 3 weeks after last injection of Sust. 40mg for 14 days and then 20mg for 14-28 more days.

HCG: I have three 5,000IU vials of HCG. I was going to run it with my cycle from the beginning all the way to the post cycle therapy (pct) but after much research I found that this is only really beneficial for heavy cycles. I also found that HCG for a long period of time increases the risk of gyno. I decided to do a blast phase of HCG at the end. This will help me retain most of my gains and bring my natural test levels back. I will do 500IU every day for 10 days leading up to 4 days before my post cycle therapy (pct). ( I know I will still have penalty left over but I understand that to use more is not necessarily better)


Diet:

7 meals a day. 350g protein, 250-300g carbs, 75g-100g fats.

Training:

Cardio in the AM stair stepper for 20-30 min 3xs a week.

Lifting for about 1.5 hours in the afternoon/night. 4 days on 1 day off. Current split. Chest/back/shoudlers/arms/legs.

Starting stats:

25 years old
5' 9"
175lb
BF 7-8%

3 weeks in:

192lb!! I was super bloated! I felt like I was gonna pop! I started taking an Aromatase inhibitor (AI). Aromasin 10mg ED now at 12.5mgED. This helped tremendously.

Current stats: (almost 5 weeks in)

185lb (10lb gains maybe half water)
bf 7-8% (Same)


My strength has increased slightly. Nothing drastic. I do feel more of a "drive" in the gym but it might also be in my head. I know suss takes about 3-6 weeks to start working so I'm in the window. I will keep everyone posted on my gains.

Sustanon should be pinned every other day due to the propionate in the test blend.

 

[hkarmy]

But its a blend of 4 different tests. I have never heard every other day. I've always heard 2xs a week. Where have you heard that? Thanks.

 

[VirginMuscle]

It will keep your blood levels more stable. It has the shortest half life out of the different esters within the blend. It's kind of like saying why inject enanthate 2x a week instead of 1x a week when the half life is somewhere around 15 days. Maybe it will make a difference in the gym, maybe it won't. But from a biological standpoint I'd rather the hormonal changes in my body be roughly stable.

i read somewhere (trying to find it!) where you inject sustanon EOD for the first 3 weeks then proceed with a two times a week dose. dont quote me but im going to try and find the link, it was by a well known modd.

there are only 30 mg of prop in it. most do twice a week, only real way to find out what works best for you is to do it both ways different cycles. everyone is different. you have to find what works best for you.

correct , not enough prop in sustanon to justify constant injections.

on the other hand due to the long esters i always reccomend 12 weeks mininum for a sustanon cycle.
