PEP's Test e, 1st cycle ever.

[irishchamp]

25 gauge x 1" In the delts. If I can get the delts to be as nice as the ventroglutial location I'd be cool with EOD injections for sure!
My shoulder is still feeling pretty good though, discomfort has spread down from the injection site a little, mostly just sore to the touch, not really motion limiting at all.

What gauge needle and lenght did you use on the delts? I'm thinking about trying it before my next cycle. My next cycle consist on EOD injects and I'm nervous.

I'll have to try a couple injections without mixing it with gso at some point, after I get at least a couple injection locations running smooth. Then I'll know exactly how much it smooths things out.

Subscribed!

Interesting about filtering and mixing grape seed oil. Haven't heard that before will have to investigate.

Pinned my left delt today, it ached pretty bad after the injection but its subsided now, took about an hour.
Weight is up another lb or two, hard to tell if I'm loosing or gaining fat, bloating or gaining muscle? I've been pretty on point with my diet, upped my protein a little this week. I go to bed hungry every night so i believe that I'm loosing fat even though my weight is going up a and the mirror isn't telling me anything definitive yet.
No cheat days in almost two weeks.
I was getting a little cardio in every day last week but this week I've been running out of time at the gym. That could be the culprit of the weight gain all though I'm probably burning more calories in my workouts recently without the cardio.

Yesterday's delt shot got pretty sore last night, its definitely better today, it is by far the worst injection so far though, I think I was a little too far forward on the delt and these one handed shots are just tough I think.
Last night after dinner I got ravenously hungry, I had to give in, I kept it pretty clean though. 3 oz of baked lightly salted potato chips, 6 oz of turkey and some kalamata olives followed by a cup of cottage cheese and some peaches in pear juice. Not really a cheat quality wise but it was the highest my calories have been thus far. Woke up this morning 1 lb lighter than yesterday morning.
Hit back pretty hard today. No records to report but I moved heavier weight than I have in a while.
4 sets of deadlift, ending with 325lbs x 3 (need to rember my straps next time)
3 sets of 8 one arm bent over dumbbell rows 90lbs.
3 sets of 8 bent over long bar rows 3 plates.
3 sets of 5 reverse grip lat pull downs 3 plates each side.
Plus some pull ups, pulldowns and a few sets of biceps.
Followed by 15 minutes of cardio.

Nice. I hear Test C "doesn't get pip" and that it is usually Test E that gets PIP.

With C & E being nearly identical I wonder why people do Test E at all then?

 

[irishchamp]

I've wondered the same thing, I just went with what everyone suggests for first cycles for simplicity.....

Nothing much to report.
12.5mg Aromasin e3d seems to be the sweet spot, if I go 4 days the nips start to get puffy. 12.5mg kicks in fast and doesn't cause any sides that I can see. I don't have any experience with Aromasin but this stuff seems pretty strong at low doses.
I pinned yesterday in the ventroglutial location on my right side where I'd only pinned once before. That location is SOOO nice. I can't even feel the needle (23x1.5). When I'm done I just continue about my day like nothing.

good job promoting PEP, but might want to mention how no one is getting their orders anymore, just an idea to protect our MEMBERS who this board is supposed to be helping

 

[irishchamp]

Brucebanner75, Sorry for your troubles but with all due respect keep it out of my log. There is a designated place for feedback, you've posted there already so I know you know where it is.
I'd be anxious too if I had $500 out in the wind but please do me the kindness of not venting your frustrations on my thread any more.

 

[irishchamp]

Diet today was an epic fail! I just couldn't stop eating. I stopped counting at 4,000, I've been eating 2,500 normally.
Workouts the last few days have been ok but not quite what I'd like. I'm gonna try to get a descent workout in tomorrow and then take two days off.

 

[irishchamp]

well I'm not sure if PEP is going to be around here anymore after floaters were found AGAIN by a handful of people. If nothing else it will be interesting to see how things continue to unfold.
I think I'm going to continue with my log though, started it, I might as well finish it.
I've had no swelling or major pip sense I started my cycle, I just did injection #7 this morning.
I DID inspect my gear more closely for floaters and although I don't see any I opted to filter everything I inject from now on just to be safe. I'm also going to inspect every syringe full before I inject as I did find a small piece of stopper at the bottom of my current vile (not one of PEP's viles, the one I used to mix the gear with sterile GSO)
so I mixed up some filtered test e with sterile/filtered GSO, this time at a 225mg/ml concentration. I just injected and so far it feels the same as before.

I feel pretty good, recovery from workouts is excellent, no matter how hard I push at the gym I'm not really sore, normally I'd be walking around like a guy with two wooden legs after my recent leg workouts, recovering this fast is awesome.
I feel like I can never get enough water to stay hydrated like I prefer. I've also noticed that I can now eat much more protein without getting rotten ass normally if I eat over about 200 grams of protein in a day I start to get the nastiest gas, now not so much, I've been eating about 250 grams, 300+ on the days I've over eaten.
I have a little more energy than I did a month ago I think, I didn't really know what to expect, a part of me thought there would be more of a stimulant effect, maybe there will be in a week or so when things kick in more.
after my big eating day (two days ago) my weight is up a little, I'm sitting at about 193 I think. I've been more hungry lately, especially at night and am having a hard time not eating late at night after I've hit my calories for the day. I'm doing a descent job of staying away from junk food though.

For the record, I'm not getting paid for this log, I've not received any free gear (besides the extra hcg PEP included for my order being delayed). The offer of free gear after a completed log PEP threw out on the board recently did play a major part in my decision to do this log though. whether PEP fixes his reputation or not has yet to be seen.

Man your lucky you have someone to pin you. I am fine with it now. Still hate pining my left glute with my left hand. When I am right handed.

Always a tricky shot... A few times my lat has cramped during the shot because I twist a bit...you can hear me yell from the bathroom ha! Gotta keep that potassium high.

I forced myself to take two days off this weekend, figured I could use a little rest, I worked out 6 or 7 days in a row last week. The last couple workouts I wanted to go back and workout a 2nd time the same day. I feel normal out of the gym, I just want to workout all the time.
I'll be 3 weeks in tomorrow, anxious to see how the next week plays out.

I took my resting heart rate this morning, it was up quite a bit, 58 this morning. I'm usually in the mid to low 40's. Also while doing my cardio my hr was higher than normal, in the high 150's instead of 130's. I feel good and I did a little googling and this is quite normal from what I can find. In fact many reported a resting hr at or above 100bpm!
I'm curious if it'll rise more.
The actual feeling of increased body warmth has gone but I feel impervious to cold!
Today the wife and I were doing some yard cleanup, she was in a big jacket freezing, I was in jeans and a t shirt. It wasn't sub zero or anything, I think it was high 40's, low 50's. Normally anything below 60 and I'm in long johns, and multiple layers. I hate the cold! Its a great feeling to not be miserable when its cold out.

Interested to see how your cycle progresses as I have pep test e ready to go (first cycle ever no less) but all the stuff going down about them right now makes me a little hesitant...but Im still gonna pin it after I run it through a Whatman

 

[irishchamp]

Yes man, being a first timer this whole big ordeal made me nervous!
My first vial of gear I didn't filter and it was perfectly fine but my next couple are filtered and ready to go. At this point I'm more concerned with a piece of a stopper sneaking past my syringe visual inspection pre injection. I found one little piece of stopper in the bottom of my first vial I used to transfer the gso cut gear into.
I also just read a few posts by Dr Jim stating that the level of contamination was acceptable. He also stated that filtering the gear can lead to more contamination if not done correctly. I used new needles at every step in my filtering process, accept for once I think I forgot but I believe it was a pre filter step, pulling oil into the large syringe to filter.
Here is a nice post I came across on filtering.

Not much going on here. I didn't workout yesterday, I was damn tired. I'm going to do back today, I feel good this morning! Diet has been damn near perfect, energy has been a little low because of it. I'm going to up my calories next week, 4 weeks into my cycle. I think the bloat is hiding my weight loss, the calipers do show close to a 2% body fat drop though.

 

[frine]

just wanted to thank you for your log, I'm about to start a cycle of pep's gear myself.

 

[irishchamp]

Pinned my left quad yesterday. Went smooth but I did end up getting some soreness last night and this morning. Walking around like I just had a big leg day.
I pinned my Vastus Lateralis but my Vastus Medialis is sore. Not sure why that is, all the times I've been sore from an injection it's always in a near by muscle.
