1st cycle log test c 500wk 12 weeks

[desertwarrior]

Hey, guys. Doing this log as a progress reference. I will be updating weekly or twice weekly schedule permitting. This will be my first cycle, 500 mg/wk test cyp. for 12 wks. My goal is to hopefully be around 215 by the end off this cycle.

Starting stats
Weight: 192
Height: 5'11.5
BF%: 12-15

Lifts
Bench: 270
Dead: 405
Squat: 385

Bench is kinda week due to bad shoulders n elbows. There all jacked from work. Looking to improve that on cycle. Took my first shot yesterday morning. Went relatively well. Gonna do 250mg test c Saturdays and Tuesdays. And 25. Mg adex EOD. Nolva on deck just in case. Pre cycle bloods were as follows

Test: 748
LH: 6.4
Estro: 15.1

Got a starting pick attached. Any comments or questions much appreciated.

if your shoulders are messed up, do not do bench press, do dumbbell presses. flat, incline presses, flat and incline flyes. you should do well if you eat like a beast.

Thanks for your input. Ive read many of your posts. I've considered this, but my gym only has dumbbells that go up to 80 lbs. which limits me because they seem much too light.

 

[HuckingFuge]

do TUT and you will think those 80lb dumbbells are heavy lol once you can rep 3x10 with the 80's using TUT than ask the gym for heavier dumbbells.

What is your complete cycle?

 

[desertwarrior]

Thanks hucking never really tried that method. I looked it up and am going to employ next workout and see how it goes. Much appreciated info. And northern nutrition

Test c 500/wk for 12 weeks split in two shots a week. Gonna start of with .25 adex EOD and gauge how I feel. Adjust accordingly. And then 5 weeks of pct nolva 40/40/40/20/10. I was gonna try to avoid clomid cause I here it makes you emotional. Shouldn't be needed right? And I was thinking on doing 10 of nolva EOD with the adex just as a precaution.

Hey guys. I decided to switch my injection days to Monday and Thursday. So I took my 2nd shot at like 330 in my left glute. Pip is still ridiculous in my right glute. I have a feeling tomarrows gonna suck. Gym is closed for memorial day so no workout for today. Last nights workout was as follows
Deads: 5x5
Shrugs: 5x5
Shoulder press: 5x5
Rows: 5x5
Lat pulldowns: 5x5

Looking threw these logs i didn't see many therow and finished ones for first cycle so I'm gonna attempt to update multiple times a week. And finish this thing threw pct. Could someone give their thoughts on nolva EOD on cycle as a gyno precaution.

Sub'd brother, I'm 2 weeks into my first cycle as well. How old are you?

 

[Northern Nutrition]

The role of PCT is to reboot HPTA. Clomiphene is a better choice for performing this action by stimulating the hypothalamus and therefore stimulating the release of LH by the pituitary gland, blah blah blah. So IMO, using both is a MUCH better choice than simply including Nolva only. Just dont dose your clomid over 100mg and you'll likely be fine. I recommend 75/50/50/50/25 if you choose 5 wks for your PCT protocol.

Nolva on cycle is not necessary unless youre experiencing gyno symptoms. That's what your AI is for.

I'm 27 about to be 28, thanks for following. Mind if I ask what your running?

500 mg/wk test cyp for 15 weeks man. I'm on day 15 today.

 

[desertwarrior]

Northern I really appreciate the info. The guy I got the gear and pct meds from has some clomid also, so I'll be grabbing some up. He was just asking like $70 dollars more per package. And said I'd do OK with just the nolva

 

[desertwarrior]

Hell yea my friend, I'd be interested to hear about your results from time to time.

 

[ruckin]

Well I'm keeping a cycle log as well in this section so feel free to follow along my man.

 

[desertwarrior]

I just read threw. I will definitely be following.

So I was thinking of starting my adex week three. I saw a lot of guys suggesting that. But my nips felt odd earlier. Upon self examination I found lumps forming behind both nipples a pea size on the left and a marble on the right. So shit I'm kinda freaked out. I'm gonna start the adex today and take some nolva for a week or two. Should I be concerned its only day 5?

 

[HuckingFuge]

should of ran the Adex from the start.

 

[Dr JIM]

Bc 500mg of TT a week is only double that of TRT why do folks believe the same PCT is needed for such a light cycle in a 26 year old as they would in a 40 year old on three AAS?


This is overkill and is analogous to treating strep throat with 2-3 antibiotics.

I know of many mates under similar circumstances who recovered wo PCT, which should be no surprise since that was the norm years ago.

Incidentally OP you will NOT maintain a 23 Lb increase in LBM after 12 weeks of cycling using any AAS combo, let alone TT at only 500mg/wk.

 

[desertwarrior]

I'm realizing that now. But took .5 mg adex yesterday and this morning. And also 20 mg nolva yesterday and today. I will be doing my third injection after work.

I was definitely not thinking I would gain that much lean mass. But accounting for water retention. I don't think think that goal weight is out of the question. And even if I was able to hold on to 10 or 15 of those pounds in lbm I'd be more than satisfied. As far as PCT goes I was thinking that 5 weeks nolva/clomid was pretty standard.
