Hello all!
I have read through countless forums here prior to beginning my first cycle and decided it would be wise to join up not only to contribute reviews but also gain some constructive criticism. I have been active all my life, and the gym has been a constant in my adult years. However, life in the military and after discharge my life as a full time medic causes constant disrupt in diet and sleeping patterns. Early this year I took a good look at myself, 26 years of work and still couldn't relate to the body looking back at me.
What none of you are expecting is this next part...
I'm a trans man, meaning I am transitioning from female to male. Trust me, I have no room for negative personal opinions about this fact- my life, my body, let's be adults without pushing our individual views and spreading hate. I have been transitioning for a little over a year now, on TRT of testosterone cypionate at 60mg/week. Prior to TRT all my years in the gym were as a female, reluctant to make any gains whatsoever, and definitely reluctant to shed body fat effectively. Since TRT I have had some very positive physiological changes, and did more for my body in about 6 months with testosterone than I had in a lifetime without TRT. My diet is extremely clean, and I am very serious about building an entirely new me.
Anxious for change to overcome my body dysphoria, I decided to begin my first steroid cycle after much research, which began earlier this month. It consists of 20mg Dbol per day (which I'm also hoping to reap androgenic effects like facial hair growth from) and 250mg/wk of testosterone cypionate, plus my prescribed 60mg/wk of test cyp so I don't miss my transitional dosage in case of bunk product. I will be finding the appropriate forum to post up a log and get some insight, though I'm sure experience helping a trans man with cycles is a rare occurrence due to lack of experience on the subject. Regardless, I hope to gain some positive feedback and input in these forums.

I am ridiculously positive and motivated, which I am very thankful for considering my circumstances. My goal is legit muscle growth. I start nursing school this Fall and want to make scrubs look damn good. Haha. I want to be filled out and see the muscular frame I have been missing out on for a lifetime. I went conservative for two reasons, the first being that it is my very first cycle and obviously don't want to overwhelm my system. Second that I am an exception to the rule in that what works for a biological man does not translate to my body likewise. So even my almost year of research still leaves room for error in my case. Most women don't touch testosterone and such high levels, and most men don't use so low. All I can do is trial and error really, but I figured the community discussion would be a positive addition to cycling.
