A n00bs first cycle - Test E

I hope you feel it sooner than I did. How's the diet and training?

Traning on point. Continuing with microcycles for now. Have increased my protein intake to 260 and dropped carbs. Current cals 2850. Seem to be hitting my macros with ease. Also got some casein in for night time.

Will do a meal log soon.
 
My quad hurts so fucking bad I can barely bend my leg....def do not recommend that bro. Im gonna pin glutes from now on.
 
doesnt sound good buddy, how did the pin go?

Pip for me today is slightly worse than last week but still nothing that prevents mobility/sitting.

Popped 0.25mg arimidex yesterday and pinned 330iu hcg today.
 
How shit going man? Hope all is well in ur part of the continent:)

Not too bad bro, think my shit is kicking in now 12 days after first pin, been getting wood randomly throughout the day and especially while I sleep and appetite is through the roof.

Started off at 164lb, weighed in this morning at 169lb.

Current regime

Monday - 300mg Test e + 0.25mg Arimidex
Tuesday - 333iu HCG
Thursday - 0.25mg Arimidex
Friday - 333iu HCG

Now the gear seems to be kicking in I'll keep a closer eye on my e2 and adjust arimidex dose if necessary.

Cannot wait til Monday! :)
 
Just curious as to why u only inject ur test once a week?? Most cycles I have seen with test e the do it monday and thursday. So u can keep ur blood levels even. So if u do 150mg monday and 150mg thursday ur blood levels would be more even. Not saying u should change what ur doing. Just curious as to why u chose once a week.
 
Mainly because pinning makes me nervous and its less hassle, less needles, less pip and less ass cheek. But also because i think the twice a week thing is just bro science. From what i understand your blood levels will never be stable whether once or twice a week, it will go down then up when you pin again which means its not even at all. So pinning once or twice a week its impossible to obtain stable blood levels. At the amount im pinning and with a 10 day half life once a week is fine for me mate.

I pin enanthate esters once a week as well. Blood levels being stable is not necessary especially if you don't experience sides at once a week. I prefer it this way to be honest.
 
Week 3 Pin 3

So today I'm back to my right glute for the second time. This side is so much easier for me.

The last two pins I'd held the needle against the skin before pushing in so this time I tried for more of a jab, what a waste of time that was, didn't even pierce the skin with the jab and ended up having to push it in once it hit the skin, was hoping it would go straight in. It nipped a lot more than the previous two jabs doing this. Bled for a few minutes afterwards and had to keep wiping with a swab.

Foam rolled for 5 minutes and there doesn't appear to be much pip so far, will see how it is later.

Popped my arimidex 0.25. Have noticed my forehead is much oilier than usual and two days ago I got a pimple on my cheek, don't think I've ever had one there before. Going to take the arimidex strictly every 3 days, currently it's 4 days between Thurs and Mon, was hoping to keep everything in a routine so that it was the same day. Will now be E3D and see how it goes.

Weighed in this morning at just under 171lb, don't notice any difference in size so I'd think this is mostly water weight. Definitely need to be strict with the arimidex, may change to EOD if symptoms remain this time next week.
 
Quick update. Nothing worth mentioning gym-wise, no increased strength or anything.

Pimples on my face are getting really fucking annoying. One on my cheek is still there, now have two on my nose and one under my lower lip. i might aswell wear a sign in the gym saying im using :mad:

Skin is much oilier so not sure if its that or just the hormone imbalance or probably both. Any suggestions?

I'm upping adex to 0.5mg e3d.

In other news, some shit is becoming second nature, i had an hcg shot with my coffee this morning :)
 
U mentioned to me about wishing u went with a higher dose. I guess its still possible. But I would ask some more people about it because as u know this is my first cycle as well. Because at the end of week 3 for me, Im having pumps and strength increases that are out of this world. I can barely put on my jacket when I go to leave. And hardly drink my protein shake cause my biceps are like balloons. It was actually a little painful today. Usually I have lower back pumps that are painful but today my whole upper body especially my arms and shoulders are so fucking huge I barely recognize myself when I look in the mirror. I felt myself getting so big parts of my body hurt But I am also taking a pre workout mix of carnosyn beta alanine, agmatine, And L citrulline, and 300mg of caffeine for extra energy, thats on top of the Tbol. Even when I wasnt on cycle the pump I got from that mix is great.
 
@hammertime I agree with the showering part. My first week my skin was super oily but I started showering twice a day right after the gym and before bed. I also started using dish soap like dawn to wash my body with. My wife has one of those gloves that are like sandpaper cloth and I started using that as well. Now my skin is actually clearer than before I even started my cycle. Lol
