So far so good, I've run one cycle and plan another next week.
I noticed massive improvements in raw strength, particularly with medium length sets - thus bigger increases in the 8-12 rep range than the 2-5 rep range. 8-14% increase in compound lifts.
I was trying to lean out but I slipped pretty bad on the diet due to a handful of family events, I dropped a pants size and my face leaned way out and people asked if I was losing weight... but I actually put on 15 lbs. This was cool and fun, but I don't need or want to be huge so I will need to adjust going forward.
The sides were absolutely nothing (except extra wood) until night 12 when I put a puddle on the bed, then one on the couch then another on the guest bed. It was ridiculous but only lasted 2 nights and the second night was not nearly as bad.
I felt like there was very very little regression after the cycle, my heavy lifts started feeling harder, but my cardio started feeling easier and performance held pretty solid. Libido and sense of well being were pretty much there straight through but I did notice a surge in libido ten days after or so, perhaps clomid?
I delayed starting round 2 for a bit due to wanting to lean out, busy at work, and family stuff, and a thumb injury, but now I'm ready to go again. I'm loving the flexibility and ability to regroup/assess/refocus.
