So 1st I want to say thanks to everyone on this site for the broad spectrum of knowledge and personal experiences that have helped me along for the last 10 weeks.
This is my first post, mainly because every time I had a question it was answered already somewhere on the forum. And all the stickys are awesome.
I would like share with you all my experience while on my cycle, because a lot of people on here are going through some of the same things I did. I hope it's cool to do that in this thread.
I guess I will start by telling you a little bit about me. I am 33 years old and have done 2 different cycles previously.( I think I was 22 on the first and 25 on the second) I have lifted weights since I was 15 years old. Back then we had the choice in high school to either pick PE or weight lifting. If you played football you picked the latter. So anyway, my 1st cycle was a 10ml bottle of equipoise. I loved it. I think I gained maybe 5lbs but I got stronger. There was never any problems with PIP or anything else. My 2nd cycle was sustanon 250. 10ml viles. I made some crazy gains on that stuff with no PIP. I was 5'8 180lbs when I started. I finished at 200lbs and I could bench 350lbs for a couple of reps slow and controlled. Loved that stuff too. Back then I had no idea about PCT or taking an Est blocker while on cycle. So I didn't.
A friend asked me 10 weeks ago if I would be interested in a bottle of Test E 250mg/ml. After a lot of thought, and research on this site I decided to get 2 bottles from him and pin 1ml every Mon and Thurs. I also got Adex to run throughout the cycle until end of PCT, which I got Clom for that.
Now at 33 years old, I have been feeling for a while now, low sex drive, low energy, and just not able to get back to, how I felt naturally in the gym about 4 or 5 years ago. So I figured that this cycle would surely help me in all those areas. I know most of you are probably thinking, "man your only 33, you shouldn't feel that way yet", but I have been married for 13+ years and have 2 daughters (12-14). And that does take a toll on you. At least it does me.
So I started this cycle and I decided to pin quads and glutes. I want to tell you that the PIP was horrible from beginning to end, and never got any better. I would run fever, and feel queasy every night after a pin from beginning to end. BUT, within 2 weeks of starting, my sex drive was back like I was 21 years old again. I thought about stopping because of the side effects but I just couldn't. As I've read on here, no pain no gain! Around 5-6 weeks I made some big jumps in strength. My muscles felt more full, as they really do now.
My point is, I guess, is that, as I have read on here, people react differently to substances. It was the most painful cycle I've ever done. But, I saw results and the good out weighed the bad. Even with a steady limp, fever, and queasiness all stacked against me, I worked through it and i'm glad I did. If it wouldn't have been for this site to come to for all the info I was looking for, I probably would have stopped the cycle. I gained only 5lbs, which is ok to me because I ate very low calories. If you gain a bunch of weight at my place of employment, people start asking questions. But I got all of my strength back like I was 21 again. And the sex drive to go with it! So again, I just want to give a big THANKS to all contributors that helped me out along the way.
