My 2nd Cycle

Aboot said:
Did you notice any difference in water retention when you went off of the arimidex, or as there not enough time for it to develop you think?

I was off for about a week and didn't notice any. Is it one of those things that you just know when you have it or could it be hard to see (since I am carrying a little extra pudge around with me)? I never had it before because I ran Adex throughout my entire last cycle, so I can't really compare.
 
Day 45

Back and Bi's today. Workout was really good. I seem to have hit a plateau for weight on my deadlift, 455x1. It's my third workout staying at this weight. Maybe the addition of Drol with help me break it. Other than that, it was great. Chins, t-bars, pulldowns, machine rows. I threw in a few more sets for machine rows, and just 1 extra dropset for machine bi curls (i normally don't do this exercise) but I was feelin quite peppy today.

Diet was good. I think I put on a little fat during the first 2-3 weeks of the cycle, but I feel that now it's not coming on as easily even though I've added a big cheat meal ED. It may or may not have something to do with the cyp kicking in (I'm not sure of the ability of steroids to prevent fat gain, maybe they do since your body is in a more anabolic state? Address this one if you know)

Other than that, feeling good. I'm confident that the test is legit, as I am making weekly strength and weight gains (minus deadlift). That is all.
 
Day 46

Day off...diet was good. Mood is good. No sides. Fuckin horny. Muscles sore from yesterday and injections went fine today. Expecting Drol tomorrow. Too lazy to write a lot today! lol
 
Day 47

Didn't get the drol as expected, hopefully it will come by monday so I can start it already! Anyways, I felt like crap today...just low energy and had a bit of a wormy stomach, so I skipped the workout. Diet was still in check though.

Day 48

Day off. Still felt a little off today, but feeling better towards the end of the day...couldn't seem to keep of the toilet though lol. I ate at a restaurant today, just ordered a burger and stuff...finished the burger and promptly puked it up right after. I'm quite certain it was severly undercooked, but I didn't notice that while I was eating. The only time I have ever puked since being an adolescent, without being overly drunk, was when I ate undercooked beef - and that was once.
 
Day 49

Chest and tris today. I seem to of hit plateau for the big 3 so I've decided to drop volume on all exercises and focus 2 out of 3 sets on strength (1 on hypertrophy). Hopefully the decrease in volume combined with the addition of drol will help push me over (I'm stuck @ 305 for 3 on BP, 455 x 1 for DL and squats have been up and down depending on how I feel that day, but no more than 405).

Anyways, todays lower volume workout was good. Nice pump, focused on lower-rep lifts. Injected Test and HCG today. Both went well, I'm quite comfortable with both glute injection nows, though I don't aspirate on the left one (I think it's impossible if your left handed).

Diet was pretty good today. That's about it.
 
Well one option would be to keep the style of split you have now and go one week hyptertrophy the next week strength. Another one would be to alternate between heavy and light days under something of a westside template (I do this). There are a million ways to organize it, it's about what you prefer.

I like the strength/hypertrophy week split. I think I'll give it a try.

I think this will work well for you because you can keep the same split and still train with plenty of volume per workout.
 
Day 50

Day off...suprisingly sore from yesterdays workout. Altogether I did 7 sets for chest and 6 for triceps (as compared to my usual 12 sets for chest and 6 for tris). I feel good today, diet was pretty good. Still awaiting drol, it's got me a little nervous (I always get like this when I'm waiting for stuff, it's killer). I've been getting a couple "pudgey" comments about my weight, but I just brush it off and keep my eye on the prize lol! Though I am definately smoother than I was, I don't really have any issues with carrying around a little christmas cheer on my stomach. Glute's a little sore from injection, but nothing outta the norm. Sides are nul, no acne, atrophy, insomnia - nothing. I do have a little of what I like to call "Test Beard" goin on, but it just means I gotta shave a little more lol.

I was contemplating upping my dosage to 750mg/wk for the rest of the cycle. Post up your opinions on this if you got one. The idea is just to help progress strength and size. I'm on 600/wk right now.

Essentially I just work lower reps with compound movements right?

You can do higher reps on your hypertrophy week and low reps on the strength week. For hypertrophy work I still use the principal of one true work set per movement, I just up the reps for warmups and shoot for as many as possible on the last set. For example 8, 8, 8, 10+ to finish, you get the idea.

About upping the dosage you may not even notice an extra 150mg per week, but I see no reason not to do it if you feel like it and you have the extra test.

I got enough test to jack up a small village in somalia.
 
Day 51

Back/Bi's today. I finally broke my plateau on DL and put out 455x2. It was probably the ugliest deadlift you have ever seen, but I did it lol. The rest of the workout was great, really hit back nicely. Bi's went well too. Diet was good. All else is good.

If you've been in the anabolic forum might know that I recieved my product, but my source sent my Anavar instead of Anadrol. I decided to run it for the rest of my cycle (5.5 weeks). I'm running 60mg/day.
 
Day 52

Damn i'm sore today. Everywhere, my back, bi's and especially my glute where I shot. It's the most sore I've ever been after a shot. I didn't go to school today cuz I just couldn't get outta bed! Diets good today, but energy is low. That's about it.
 
Day 53

Legs/Shoulders today. Backs better, bi's are still sore. I went for a really late workout, I didn't get in the gym till 12:15 am saturday morning lol. I did sleep right after work until about 10:30 pm friday. It was cool to go to a different gym and workout pretty much all by myself, it did cost me 20 bucks though (my gyms not 24Hours). oh well. Good workout. Didn't break any records, but got nice and deep into the muscles.

I don't really feel different yet from the var, but I have definately been putting on size. haven't weight myself lately, I'll probably do it tomorrow. That's about it. Oh yeah, I've upped my test to 750/wk...I notice a little bit of acne on my shoulders, don't really know if it's related yet but I'll just watch it.
 
I didn't feel the Var for 7days at 50mg ED, then it was really 2 weeks until the strength gains started...keep us posted on how the vars making u look and feel.,,,great log BTW
 
Day 54

Day off, feeling good today. Weighed in at 214 today...I'm really hoping to hit 230 by the end of the cyle though. Hopefully the dedicated diet plus Anavar (var) and the little bump in test will help me do that. I'd like to be 240 before I start my next cycle, which will be a cutting cycle. I don't really know how good Anavar (var) is for putting on mass (heard it's not great), Drol would have been really nice. Freakin UGL's. Anyways, I don't really have a choice.

I e-mailed my source, he said he would send me the drol. I told him to forget it and send me more Anavar (var) cuz I don't have time. He's either been busy for 4 days or ignoring me. If he doesn't e-mail me back soon I'm gonna get really pissed.
