First Cycle Upcoming - Pharmacom Anavar, Test PH, and Exemestane

Five days and three pins in. I'm noticing more PIP, especially my left glute, but nothing intolerable that a couple ibuprofen can't take care of. Did my first quad pin today, gave me a decent throbbing sensation within 30 minutes that lasted about 2 hours.

Another thing I've noticed is my voice has gotten horse, and I have mild sore throat. I don't feel sick, so did a little researching online. Found a few random posts of people saying the same, so not sure what to make of it. Test side effect or am I getting a cold?

Weight is down to 165 from 170 three weeks ago when I dropped my calories to maintenance and picked up cardio. Probably water weight dropping off though.

That's all for this update!
 
Weight seems to be fluctuating now, back up to 169. Diet has not changed, so guessing water retention.

I experienced fairly significant quad PIP in both legs. Did legs tonight two full days after last quad pin, and was significantly weaker due to the PIP in my left quad. Pushed through it, but it wasn't fun or easy. Hoping the quad PIP gets less over the next few weeks as it definitely interfered with my workout.

No other sides or gains yet.
 
Two weeks in tomorrow, PIP is almost nonexistent now after pinning.

Not sure if it's the Test or placebo affect, but I feel a touch stronger. The past couple workouts I've been able to get an extra rep or two in.

Haven't started the exemestane yet, was going to start tomorrow, but I'm not experiencing any sides that would warrant it. Probably going to try to hold off two more weeks til I get some mid cycle labs done.

Weight is 167 today, still fluctuating a bit. Body fat is still 17-18 percent. I'm struggling to get my body fat percentage down, so hopefully the next 6 weeks of the cycle get it down a couple percent.

I've adjusted my macros to 45/35/25 p/c/f. Still eating maintenance of around 2,000 calories.

That's it for this update. Any thoughts from anyone?

You should be able to get to 10 percent with right dieting. Your body has an adjustment period to the test. One day you'll be like wtf Is going on when you look in the mirror. Prolly round week 4. Get bloods done also. My pip went away round week 2 as well. You'll see some nice str gains where it's not one more rep, but like 10 more pounds. No joke. People like to say steroids aren't magic. But they are.

My diet is pretty strict, I lost 80 pounds on a clean diet over a year, got down to 155 at about 15% body fat. Balked over the late fall and early winter and gained about 2-3 percent body fat. Still struggling to get it down.

I'll have my bloods done in two weeks.
 
IMO, don't weight yourself everyday-but if you do, then once every two weeks. The key indicator is how you look in the mirror and how your cloths are fitting. I'll give you an example: When I went on a bitch diet (cardio and eating rabbit food) I dropped my weight down to 150lb and fit size 31 pants.. Now, I weight around 165-170 and I fit size 31 pants. Because I pack more lean muscle then fat.. So don't worry yourself to much on how much you weight!

Ya, makes sense. I'm siting around 167lbs now and am in a 31" waist pants, same size pants that I was in weighing 155lbs 6 months ago. I do weigh my self every morning, but the mirror is what really drives me crazy, I cannot get rid of the damn love handles and loose stomach flab. Granted the sides and stomach are not "fat", I still have that damn complex because I can't see my abs. Especially with all the work I've put in over the last two years, and what I continue to put in, I feel like it should be less.

As we aged, it's part of nature and her fuckin jokes! Love handles and flabby stomach is with 80% of all folks over the age of 35- So don't stress yourself over it! Some are bless with awesome genetics and have them perfect washboard abs.

What happens after you can see your abs? What nexts? It's a never ending for us seeking perfection or imperfection that we see. IMO, as long as you look good (minus the abs), killing it at the gym, and pounding pussy ED, EOD, or E3D- that all it matters!..
 
Finished the first vial today, only got 9ml out of it. Planned on starting the Anavar after 21-22 days and 10ml of Test, but since I only got 9ml of the the fist vial I'm starting the Anavar tomorrow at 50mg ed. It'll be day 19 tomorrow.

Is that normal to get 9ml from what is supposed to be a 10ml vial? I know some is lost in the needle, but an entire 1ml seems like a bit too much to lose that way.

You were probably injecting more than you think. When you fill the syringe tilt it needle up and draw all the oil into barrel until there is open space in there. Then push the plumger until the top of fluid reaches the very first line. Then you see how much is exactly in the syringe. There are also zero dead space syringes but you will still have that extra in the needle if you don't use that method.

I definitely draw needle up, but haven't really been drawing back with some open space ahead of the oil and measuring that way. I'll do that with the next vial and see if the results are different. Good tip, thanks.

Took 30mg of Var this morning, will take 20 after my evening working. I'm splitting my 50mg daily dose this way to try to keep the levels in my body more consistent.
 
Took my first dose of Pharmacom Exemestane this evening. Took 12.5mg. I'm noticing a decent amount of fluid retention this weekend, and possibly elevated blood pressure. Heart rate is normal tonight, 64 beats per minute, but have a bit of hypertension going on tonight. My weight this evening is 178, so there is definitely water weight. I'm was 167 a week ago. Going to keep running exemestane at 12.5mg e3d. Bloods in another week should help me dose this too.

Otherwise going well, strength seemed up tonight during chest at the gym, easily got the full reps/sets/weight that I've been struggling with recently.
 
Sides have subsided after starting the exemestane 12.5 e3d. Only taken it twice, but the sides are nearly gone.

Scheduled my mid cycle labs for next Wednesday, which will be one month into the cycle.

My strength and endurance is definitely increasing, I've added 10-20 pounds to my squat, bench, and deadlift in the last month. Most other exercises are stronger as well, but not to the extent of the three mentioned above.

Weight is still fluctuating, sitting at 172 this morning. I'll post pics and body fat measurements with my mid cycle labs results when I get them, hopefully in a week or so.
 
Here's my mid cycle labs, taken on a month into the cycle. These were taken about 38 hours after my last pin on Test PH 100mg/1ml dose.

I had the option to purchase two different hormone panels, one that showed exact test levels if they were over 1500, and one that just showed ">1500". I should have paid the extra $40 as this one came back ">1500". I wasn't sure that it would, so I went with the less expensive hormone panel. In any case, considering my pre cycle lab had my test in the low 300's I'm satisfied with this. My next blood draw I'll pay the extra money to get the more detailed testosterone levels shown.

E2 is normal, I've only taken three 12.5mg doses of exemestane, and had not taken a dose for 5 days prior to the blood draw. Everything else seems pretty normal.

Thoughts?
