Jacked's First Cycle.

[Jacked27]

Age: 31
Training Since: Age 17
Height: 6'3"
Weight: Started at 204, currently at 216 10 days in.
History: Dabbled in pro hormones in 2001-2003, been all over the place, 236lbs and fat, 192 and bone dry shredded. High volume, low volume, HIT, olympic training, powerlifting, etc etc.
Personality: All in type. I tend to get program hoppy though and need to just stick to it.
Genetics: I graduated high school at 151 lbs and a 28" waist. Yeah, retarded skinny. No natural strength, but a decent frame for lean muscle gains plus I have 14 years under the belt...so muscle maturity and my golden 30's is on my side. Plus Sustanon.

Will post some pics tomorrow of current and past shape.

I started with 1ml/300mg Sustanon on Wednesday, Nov 23, the day before thanksgiving.

First pin was 1ml in my left delt. Ouch! Days after it was swollen and hella painful. But it went down thankfully and ever since, I've been pinning every 3rd day at 3/4ml, 225mg. So that is 525mg a week. Pinning in the delts only with 1" 23G pins so far. Don't want to try quads, and I doubt 1" is enough for glutes on me. Delts are a weak point on me, so even if it's only 'slightly' better to spot inject them, I'll do it. Plus I got allergy shots for 15 years and am oblivious to the pain of shots in that area.

Here's the thing, I have (8) 1ml amps of Paddock Labs Cypionate @ 200mg/ml and will use this for weeks 9-12 once I do the first 8 weeks of the Sustanon (8-9 weeks worth).

PLAN:
Weeks 1-8 Sustanon 225mg E3D
Weeks 9-12: Cypionate 200mg 2x per week
Have Clomid and Arimidex on hand. Started Adex at .5mg EOD 4 days ago. I am a bit bloated. Ick.
Might order some liquid Nolvadex from one of our sponsors so I can do that and Clomid (capsule form) for PCT.

GOAL: I've been 220 and solid naturally with 18.5" flexed arms and a 33" waist. So I know I have it in me to be beast mode and 240+ in the 12% range. At the rate I've been gaining, I'll hit 240 easily on this cycle.

I really notice the effects of it kicking in three days ago. Training arms I was so pumped my arms hurt first exercise in. Plus the massive weight gain, few more pimples on the face, and my libido (usually high) is super high now.

Weeks 2-12 should be golden. Off we go!

[Jacked27]

^Thanks fellas, glad to have you along!

Today's lifts, Shoulders

I really wanted to split up my usual chest/shoulders to focus more on each bp as well as my injecting this morning so I figured getting some quick blood into the delts would help.

1) DB Seated Overhead Press 65'sx10, 80'sx8, 90'sx5 Recent PR, 70'sx11

2) Plate side raise 25'sx12, 35'sx10, 35'sx10 drop to 25'sx12

3) Rope face pull 80x12, 100x12, 120x12

Leg Day

Weight: 219.8 (gym shorts/tee/shoes)
Time of Day: 530pm

Warmed up 8 min on treadmill walking, then some light low back extensions, bw squats, light stretching. Decided to do leg curls to get some further blood down there before doing my deep squatting.

1) Lying leg curl
70x12, 90x12, 110x12, 130x7.5

Overall: good session, squats still bother my hip flexors on upper front of my thighs. partially cause how deep i squat. need to foam roll more.

 

[Jacked27]

Chest and Back

1) BB row (decided to start training back and chest together, even though I just did back 4 days ago, so I played it somewhat civil on the bb rows).

Pump was atrocious in my forearms. The bw movements were killing me at the end, so I played them easy and rolled out.

Hanging in at 220ish clothed.

[brownchoclit]

damn yours in super shape already..nice and lean

 

[VirginMuscle]

Are you using straps for the shrugs or is your grip just that strong? Nice starting physique btw.

 

[Jacked27]

Thanks man, feels good to be up to 224 today and not being too watery like I was. Guess the Adex is helping and my body is getting used to the new higher hormone levels.

Are you using straps for the shrugs or is your grip just that strong? Nice starting physique btw.

I used straps but I could do them bare handed. Long fingers help. In fact in my deadlift days, I hook gripped 500 lbs without it slipping, no chalk and no gloves/straps. Just bare handed.

Glad to have ya in here!

 

[Jacked27]

[Jacked27]

225.6, a little fluffy but this pic makes me look fatter than I am haha.

 

[Jacked27]

Up to 232 now, feeling great in the gym, looking much bigger. Will update some pics soon. Getting some weird acne on the delts/lower side of my neck.

I've heard Propecia is good to offset this. Thoughts?

 

[Jacked27]

Well it's been 6 weeks so far and things are going real well. Cleaned up my diet to drop bloat and BP, and I'm at a solid 230 a.m. now. Hoping to squeek to a solid 240 by 6 weeks from now.

This was taken tonight after leg day.

 

[Jacked27]

Well it's almost over and I am indeed 240. Clothed at gym in evening, so more like a solid 235. The switch to HG Cyp from UG Sustanon (sust) wasn't too noticeable, seem to hold a bit less water and the acne (fairly light) I had on my back/shoulders is about gone.

Two shots left next week, then into my first PCT 3 weeks after last shot.

Already stoked on a new cycle come summer.

Will post final pics next week.
