Nice to see things going well on your first cycle, Im starting mine in a month or so, just gathering all the appropriate material
Im still trying to figure where I should pin, I was thinking glute, but if quad goes well for you, I might just start out with that!! Keep us posted!!!
alright mate, most folk seem to recommend glute but in my limited experience I have to say the quad was so much easier. It's really awkward trying to reach around and pin your arse, whereas the quad is right there, conveniently in front of you.
Some folk like the delt but I think my delts are so small I would actually hit bone if I tried!
How is your own cycle going? What are you running?

Sounds good, I'll most likely go quad for the first pin. I also have a friend who's a nurse, I'm thinking about asking her to help me out with my first Pin.
As for my cycle, Test E 500 mg/week for 12 weeks, 10 day HCG before PCT of Nolva/Clomid. I want to keep it simple and see what reaction Test E has on my rat. Ill be starting on March 12.
Ill for sure log my expirence, so look out for it!
Cheers Bro!

well it's a bit of a double edged sword - quad feels better to pin, but the PIP I've got today is unreal! Really interfered with training my legs so that's maybe something to consider.
I'm going to persevere with my quad though and just hope it gets better...
Yeah man definitely keep a log, I'll be interested to see your progress.

Ugh thats rough bro!!! I hope I dont have similar issues.
Sounds good, I will for sure!
had a slight gyno freak out today. Nipples felt sore, like jogger's nipple, so naturally I shit my pants and thought I had gyno.
However, after consulting with people on this forum, it appears that jogger's nipple type symptoms are not gyno, so I should be ok. Have only been taking the adex for a couple of days so everything should be fine.
Pinned my quads again today, and already they hurt. I'm just going to keep pinning and pinning them til they finally yield to my will.
Also, I think my strength is up a little! Felt strong as hell benching tonight so maybe, just maybe, things are starting to happen...

Good to hear on the strength gains, did you up your weight on the bench?? How much??
Gyno scares the crap out of me, lol.
Hope all is well, keep up the updates!!
I didn't up the weight, but a weight I only expected 5 reps from I managed to hit 8! Might have been the roids, might not have been. Bit early to tell.
Yeah gyno scares me shitless too! I'm running an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and have nolva on hand so I'm fully equipped to deal with it should it arise.
Pinned my quads again yesterday and it's agony again. God damn. I'm not going to yield though, I'm going to keep pinning those fuckers til they get with the program.

Heck no matter what it's improvement : )
I will def be running an Aromatase inhibitor (AI), and have Nolva on hand.
Your scaring the crap out of me with your pins being not to fun, lol. Im not starting for a while, so I hope yours gets better before I start, so I have things to look forward to!

haha, didn't mean to scare you mate, but seriously, if you can find someone to pin your glutes for you, or you're flexible enough to do it yourself, then I would recommend that over your quads
Decided I'm going to have to get my flatmate to pin my glutes from now on. I don't think she was all too keen, but she said she'd do it and I'm sure once she's over the initial shock of stabbing a needle in my arse she'll be cool

Thats quite the revelation bro, haha.... So thats the best?? I just youtubed it and it seems like it might be kind of hard to get it done yourself?? No?
How are the workouts going??
Thankfully I have a few "friends" who are nurses, lol, I asked a couple of em if they could help me out, and they said no problem, so Im gonna go with that
haven't updated this for a couple of days, not too much to report...
Am now entering my 3rd week of taking the Anavar (var), have actually had a few people tell me I look a bit bigger. Maybe the Anavar (var), maybe not. The test injections have become fairly routine now, especially since discovering the joys of ventrogluteal injections. No pain at all really now, at least not in such a way that affects my workouts so that's fine.
Wasn't a great week of working out last week though, had a cold from thursday til Sunday, so was just kind of going through the motions in the gym. Feel loads better today though so I'm looking forward to trashing my legs tonight.
Also think I've injured my elbow a bit. That's annoying. Going to drop all direct arm work this week, and switch to doing pull ups instead of neutral grip chins. That should do it. Also going to take a lot more time to warm up my elbows before my workout. Hopefully that'll fix it before it gets any worse.
Besides, I'm not really too bothered about a week without arm work. I'm not really as obsessed with my arms as most other lifters. I'd rather train shoulders any day of the week.
Back to the roids: So far no sides. No gyno, bloating, hair loss (at least, not that I've noticed) or roid rage.
hCG should arrive this week. I've ordered a shitload so I can do a big shot (1000iu) first, then 4 days later do 250iu, then 250iu 2x a week til my last test injection, whereafter I'll do 500iu a day til 4 days before PCT. Should keep Tango and Cash (that's what I call my balls) happy.

things have started to get interesting...
I was MUCH stronger in the gym today than I have been. Considering I had a cold all weekend and basically ate crap, it seems difficult to put it down to anything but the steroids. I think the Anavar (var) might have started to do it's thing!
Also, the pumps I've been getting are unreal. I did a few sets of band extensions/curls in between sets of leg exercises, and my arms were as pumped as if I'd done a full hour's workout with them!
Needless to say, I'm very interested to see what'll happen in the weeks to come...

i think I may be getting bigger, my jeans are definitely tighter around my legs. Almost uncomfortably so! Think I'm looking a bit bigger in the shoulders as well which makes me happy. My shoulders are a perpetual weak point for me so building those bad boys up is number one on my agenda. In fact, if I could magically channel my gains entirely into my legs and shoulders, I'd be a happy man.
And I don't know what I did wrong today, but my injections really hurt! Hurt going in, hurt coming out, still hurt now ten minutes later. Maybe a hit a nerve? I dunno. Was very unpleasant. The ends justify the means though I suppose...

thanks man, I appreciate you reading. Have been on for about 4 weeks now so the test levels'll hopefully peak soon and cool stuff'll start happening
