I've seen logs where mates have obtained a great a number of muscle on their first cycle, in the 25-30 lb range. But it was their first cycle, they ate well, plenty of rest, proper training, and they were a bit underweight. I believe im hitting all of those. But I started at 135lbs, and if I were to possibly get 15-20lbs of muscle in this cycle id be happy.

No, that's NOT all muscle. It's a combination of water, fat, muscle, and glycogen. What you're suggesting is the body is synthesizing almost 3lbs of muscle per week. That is IMPOSSIBLE even on AAS.
Edit* you may also be confusing lean body mass with muscle mass. The two are not the same things.

Well my cycle is longer though, its 15 weeks but more realistically 17 weeks. If I were to do 1.5lbs a week that'd give be around 25.5 lbs at the end before pct.

6/5/13 Day 68 of Cycle
Weight- Was going to do my weekly photo's and weigh in but since its holiday weekday I went out and ate a bit and my belly is a bit bloated. So really no point in weighing and posting pics if im holding water weight.
Cycle- Last night finished off my 2nd vial of Test-E, but oddly enough instead of getting 1ml out of it I got 1 1/2 MLs so yesterday inject 375 instead of 250. Either my last few draws havnt hit 250 or there was a tad bit extra in vial.
GYM- Shoulders
Delts
Over Head Dumbell Press 4x6-8 4x60lb DB's (last week only got 1 set in, this week all 4!)
Bent Over Rear Delts Raise 2x15 2x45lb DB's (Going up to 50's next week)
Face Pulls 4x30
Front Dumbbell Raise 2x20 2x50lb DB's (Up 5lbs)
Side Dumbell Lateral Raise 2x10 2x25lbs (Going up to 30's next week)
Traps
Barbell Shrugs 4x4 4x275lbs (Up 10lbs)
Dumbbell Srhugs 2x10 2x100lbs
EZ Bar Upright Rows 3x10 1x95lbs 2x105lbs (105 getting easier)

Another mistake man, you don't build muscle at the rate of 1.5lbs a week. Even with Anabolics you don't synthesize muscle mass at that rate. Period. So now you're also assuming all 25.5lbs you gain on cycle are muscle mass?? What about water weight, increased glycogen stores, fat gain, and muscle gain? If you gain 25lbs of muscle you'd have to expect your total weight to go up 50lbs AT LEAST. You're confusing total gains with muscle mass gains. Plus the t3 you added is only going to reduce your muscle mass gains, so on top of 1.5lbs of PURE MUSCLE MASS being unrealistic and wrong, you now will be even less than that due to the proteolysis of T3.

7/9/13 Day 72 of Cycle Weigh In
Weight- Today weighed in at 157.8lbs which is 2lbs increase since last Tuesday. May decrease calories intake down a bit on Friday depending on what weigh in is.
Anavar- Strength gains kicking in, because im feeling stronger then ever.
Comments- Some dude at the gym commented saying "you're looking bigger".
GYM- Back/Bicep/Forearm/Core
Deadlift 3x5-6 2x4 3x275lbs 2x285lbs (Up 10lbs, first time doing 285. My friend stated my form was good, I was always worried I was in snap city mode.
Well it usually goes a certain way but I trained with a buddy today so I did everything he does. He does a similar routine lots of rows/pull downs but different ways. He was surprised at how heavy I could lift. He is taller then me but weight is around the same, maybe 10 lbs less then him.

Did you share the results, or am a I overlooking them?

hmm I havnt gone back and checked the pages but I know I asked on here if they were legit. More or less I did a female hormone panel test. My estrogen was good to go, my test levels were above 1500 but it didnt specify where above.
I plan on getting one after PCT since I compete and don't want to switch into cutting phase to early losing my gains I've made

Usually Wenesdays are my cardio day but did some training with buddy.
We did some triceps, calfs, abs.
I Hit 385lbs on Barbell Calf Raises today woot!!
Comments- A girl I hadn't seen in 2-3 months said "you've gotten a lot bigger since the last time I saw you". She had a surprised look on her face, and motioned her arms over her body showing that my muscle gain was all over. She said it defiant;y is a compliment.
