Getting Big the Ology Way
here are some pictures from this morning.
after looking at them I can tell Im either bloated or putting on some fat because ive lost some definition in my mid section.
You can also see in the side shot my shoulder that Im currently having problem with. It looks a little swollen to me but most people probably wouldnt notice.

You're arms are looking really thick! thats the one area I would really like to ad some size is my arms (what guy wouldn't right?) I'm 6'4" and my arms are long and skinny looking.

possibly water weight you look kinda smoothed over compared to last pics. Arms and chest look much bigger!

i know the feeling being 6'3'' myself. It took me so long to get get rid of that lengthy look. whats weird is that they went from 17.5" to 18" within two weeks of being on dbol and really havent gotten any bigger since. Im hoping they are just recomping a little so that I dont just fall back down to 17.5 post cycle. i was hoping to put an inch-ish on during this cycle but Im not sure if thats going to happen.

I havent measured mine in a while but i'm 12 days in on my cycle and they are feeling bigger and looking a little better.....people have been commenting on them the last few days. I was also hoping to as about 1" on my cycle. Finger's crossed!

ive tried to not get too dark but I tan easily. I havent gone over 10 minutes in the 20 minute beds I use. I only go 1-2 times a week and it makes me feel so much better.

so i lied when i said my arms hadnt got bigger since dbol. my roommate told me last night that mine looked bigger but i told them they hadnt grown in almost 8 weeks. I then proceeded to whip out the measuring tape and sure enough they are up to 18 and 3/8 inches. i was pretty pleased.

Nice bro! I feel like my arms are the only muscles NOT growing!

i felt the same way for the longest time and until last night i didnt think they were really growing any more. I guess i just need to put the tape away for a few weeks and see where I end up.

That's my philosophy at the moment...no tape for a while and hopefully I'll be surprised when I do measure.

Day 67
I did legs tonight for the first time since spraining my ankle. My ankle felt fine but my legs felt a little weak. I only went up to 315 but I did super sets with hack squat and it was honestly one of the toughest things I've done. I had to sit down for a while because my legs were so pumped.
In other news the lump is still on my shoulder. It doesn't appear any worse than yesterday. I'm going to try putting heat on it and massaging it.

Day 71
So I wanted to give an update after 10 weeks. Overall i think things are going good. I weighed in at 258 this weekend which puts me up 25 pounds. My strength has increased and Im stronger every week. The pumps are insane and almost too much at times but I know Ill be wishing for them when I come off.
As far as side effects go Ive experienced acne on my shoulder, a little bloat, hair growth on my stomach and the back of my shoulers, and a small lump under my left nipple that I credit to dbol. Likely the last time I ever use it. Since coming off it hasnt gotten any worse but it's still sensitive at times. Im hoping the sensitivity goes away during post cycle because the overall size of the lump doesnt bother me. It doesnt make my chest look any different. If it doesnt subside, I will likley attack it with a letro/raloxifene combination to shrink it down.
An update from the weekend. Friday I went in and did shoulders. It wasnt my best workout because i got to talking to a guy for a while and then I rushed through my workout because i had to meet up with the GF. Saturday I went in and worked my arms and sunday I did some abs. im taking today off and will be switching things up this week and working back tomorrow. Im going to start working out with some of the local bbers that are at my gym. Im hoping they can bring variety to my workouts and promote new growth.
They want me to compete this summer but I keep telling them i want to put more weight on so i can take the stage bigger. at 6'3'' I feel i need to be at 240-250 to avoid a long and lengthy look on stage. So what I am thinking is that I will continue to bulk for another year and make my bodybuidling debut next summer (2013) at a local event. That gives me time to run another bulk cycle this fall/winter and cutting cycle in the spring.
