So after 2 years of waiting it out (since I first joined here and considered running Test) I decided to start. I've been training seriously for 7 (8? I forgot) years now and have gone from around 130Lbs to 160Lbs at around 7% BF. I've seen 180Lbs during a bulk but BF suffered a lot. I've been cruising at the same weight for a bit over a year now and I turned 30 last April (so 31 coming up in a few months).
I've decided to spend the cold months of the winter with a bit of extra warmth from a 12 week Test-E / T-Bol cycle. The approach is pretty classical, 12 weeks of Test-E 250 (Monday, Thursday) and 4 weeks of T-Bol at 60Mgs 3 times per day, one being a bit pre-workout. PCT will consist of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) (500iu/day, 3 weeks), Nolvadex (20mgs/day, 6 weeks), and Aromasin (20mgs/day, 4 weeks) while taking Vitamin E (1000iu/day, 3 weeks).
I jabbed my right quad last Monday (almost a week ago), and followed with my left last Thursday. My third jab is tomorrow, Monday. Here's how it went.
* Mon 5th Dec:
First jab, scared and shaky, forgot to aspirate!! It went well, I used a 25G needle, took forever, friend told me to try it, less pain, not worth it.
* Tue 6th, Wed 7th Dec:
Injection site is inflamed and hurts when flexed or stretched. Getting worse as the day goes on, walking is difficult, not feeling the T-Bol yet, pretty messed up right now.
* Thurs 8th Dec:
Injection site pain and inflammation improving, still feed like shit though at night. Feels like I'm sick or about to get sick (weak, joints hurt, not driven). Injection went well, was easy. Used 22G this time, oil went in much smoother, control was better, did not shake as much. Aspirated this time too! Got a tiny amount of (more like a hair) blood, then noticed how my hand was shaking too, pushed the Test in, no problem. Much easier than 25G, screw that. Not much change in my workouts yet, feel a bit stronger.
* Fri 9th Dec:
Break day today (and Monday). I feel very bloated and food is not going down easily. I also feel like I'm holding water and some fat. This is strange. I added Aromasin at 25mg ED for now, will run it for a week and see. Motivation is not so high today.
* Sat 10th Dec:
Took my T-Bol in the morning and ate a good breakfast since I have a big mid-day workout today. Also been taking Advil daily 2 or 3 times a day for the inflammation at the injection sites. I need to stop this because my stomach is not having a good time. The food is not going down easily, workout was good until I felt this pain right below my left shoulder blade which put an end to the training session. I had a bit more triceps left, too bad. The rest of the day was a bit painful until the back muscle pain went away.
* Sun 11th Dec:
Took my T-Bol in the morning, has a good breakfast, took another dose a bit pre-workout. Training was fantastic. I kept on going and going with more sets and reps. I promised myself I would take it easy on upping the weights to avoid injury but it is so tempting. I upped them a bit while still maintaining more sets and reps. Pumps we're massive today, veins all over the place, great workout (also slipped in some triceps!). Everything is going well today, training, post injection pain / inflammation is down, morale / mood is up, except the stomach, it is still not feeling well and I feel I am not digesting well / fast enough. Am going to take it easy on the eating the rest of the day and see how this goes (no more Advil). Any suggestions for this? Should I hold of on Aromasin? Can it be causing the stomach problems? Or simply stopping the Advil will help?
* Mon 12th Dec:
Woke up at 7AM for my 3rd Test-E shot, right quad again. Shot went well, I can feel it now (12 hours later), its starting to hurt. I wonder if it'll be the same as last week or not. Stopped Aromasin and Advil, stomach is getting better today but still am not eating a lot (supplemented with shakes and meal replacements when I could not). Tomorrow is a training day and I am really looking forward to it. Hopefully my stomach will be at the point where I can fully eat all the food my diet includes. Also visited the chiro today and he fixed up my pain from the weekend - its rib related and when that muscle was inflamed it made my life a bit more painful - feeling 90% recovered now, and also, not feeling soreness, joint pain, weakness as I had been last week, much better this way.
