First Cycle w PEP Test Prop (2 on / 2 or 4 off)

[radcon]

Looks like everything has returned to normal. Unfortunately I didn't do a precycle marker for LH and FSH so I don't know what my normal exactly is but hopefully there's nothing to worry about since my levels are in the normal range by a good amt. currently.

11/21 Lab results following 2 weeks off:
Total Test: 675 ng/dl (348-1197)
Estradiol: 13.7 pg/ml (7.6-42.6)
LH: 3.4 mIU/ml (1.7-8.6)
FSH: 5.2 mIU/ml (1.5-12.4)

Pre Cycle Labs: 10/8
Total Test: 693 ng/dl (348-1197)
Free Test %: 1.3 % (1.5-3.0) LOW
Free Test: 90 pg/ml (52-280)
Tot Estrogens: 111 pg/ml (40-115) - on the high end

Post Cycle: 11/5
Total Test: >1500 ng/dl (348-1197) HIGH
Estradiol: 21.3 pg/ml (7.6-42.6)
LH: 0.4 mIU/ml (1.7-8.6) LOW
FSH: 0.9 mIU/ml (1.5-12.4) LOW

I started out this cycle taking arimidex (.5mg) on the same days as test injections. Developed some lumbosacral pain after some heavy deadlifts and thought it could perhaps be due to decreasing estrogen too much. I decreased arimidex to (.2 to .3 mg) on injection days.

Low back is feeling much better. Hard to say if it's related but for now I seem to be doing fine with the reduced arimidex dose.

You notice a difference at 100mg EOD? I am still waiting for fucking pinz. But solo I think I would run 75-100 ED. Lot of poking though. I think 150-200mg EOD isn't going to pan out well, though I would rather pin EOD. Gotta see how I react to pinning these quads. If it is crippling and I can't squat I may pin EOD 150mg Test Prop/100 Tren Ace. 2.5 mL in the delts I don't think is going to work. Might just keep switching right and left glute. I wanna run it 14-20 days.

Notice a difference? You mean can I tell I'm on testosterone? If that's the question, then no, not particularly. I don't really feel any different psychologically or anything like that but I seem to be gaining alright. I thought I might notice a difference from frontloading with 400mg, but can't really say I could particularly tell.

Yeah, pinning yourself everyday could get hard from a rotation standpoint. I don't know how people do their own delts. I was seeing if I could get an angle on them today and I just wasn't comfortable with it. Seems like you'd have to hit anterior delt. I'd much rather hit medial or post delt if I was going to but can't reach.

Lately my left quad has disappeared from the rotation. Couple days ago I stuck the needle all the way in my left quad and it started to ache pretty bad before I even started injecting, so I pulled it out and did it in right quad. Time before that, I started to push the needle in to my left quad and it just hurt right away for some reason, so I stopped and went elsewhere.

heh, i'm doing two pins (bilateral) every day. have been for 4 weeks or so (before that it was one a day) and will be until 5 or so more weeks from now.

like yesterday i did both short head triceps

today back side of both lateral delts

tomorrow front side of both lateral delts

next day both ventroglutes

day after both long head triceps... etc. i also use pecs, quads (favorite are delt, short head tricep, and quad)

biceps are alright with test suspension, but oil seems to hurt too much.

next time you do a short cycle, i would run a higher dose. you'll need higher doses to get great results in a short time IMO.

 

[radcon]

Weekend, how do you get to your lateral delts on your own?

I may try increasing the dose in the future or not. I'm not trying to get hyoooge, just trying to make some modest gains.

I may go with a longer cycle in the somewhat near future. I've been really itching to try EQ (w/some test.).

So I ended up going 25 days on Test prop on this cycle. The reason being that I thought I'd get my hcg supplies in mid-cycle but they didn't come until about day 20. Since hcg keeps you from recovering, I thought I might as well just stay on the test a little longer while incorporating the hcg.

On day 19 I started pinning 75mg prop ED instead of the 100mg EOD.
Also, pinning 500 iu's/day from day 22-26.

Seems that on probably day 4 of the hcg, I noticed testicle size had increased.

Yo Weekend,

Could you explain how you hit the front/back lateral delts? and also the short head of the tricep. I'm about to start my own self pinned cycle.

Also, what do you think about trap injections?

Nice job!!
