Pharmacom TestE 500 - 12wks

Day 2:

The injection site, right glute, is a little sore like someone frogged me. Or like a penicillin shot. Maybe even less painful. It's barely noticable. Nothing intense so far!

I did an upper-body hypertrophy and used blood-flow restriction for the first time. I love the instant pump. Even better, my pec/lat feels much better today. Just focused on steady lifts with perfect form. I also started with some HIIT Cardio for 10 minutes on the treadmill. Gets the blood pumping, the sweat rolling, and keeps the fat off! Off to eat some Salmon, Sweet Potatoes, and Broccoli/Cauliflower

Pip normally takes about 2 days to kick in for me on TE. Don't freak out if you get a huge knot it isn't an infection.

Also nice job so far keeping a detailed journal, I have always been to lazy for journals on the boards. Heck I've been to lazy to post for months had to deal with some drama. Seems like everybody I knew on here is gone =(.

Thanks man, I'm trying to remind myself to enjoy the journey and not just focus on the destination. That's when I get impatient and do something stupid. It's pretty cool so far. Looking forward to the progress I can share over the next couple months.

Day 5:

2nd pin day, left delt this morning. It's a little sore like a normal shot from the doctor. I decided to pin my delt because I worked out upper-body today. Some bench, deadlift, and upper-body hypertrophy with more blood-flow restriction. I'm hoping pinning, then working out that area, then showering and moving around all day will help with the PIP. I used a 1.5" 23g and left about 0.5" out. I also made sure to shake the vial well and heat the oil in the syringe with running water without it touching the needle.

BUT, my right glute has been VERY swollen and pain has me wanting to limp. I've still been running on it and working as normal but it has been bothersome, especially sitting or laying. It is pinkish and warm all around the swollen area, about a 4"x5" area. Not dark red or hot though. I used a 1.5" 23g and kept about 0.5" out (too shallow I think) and I did push the oil pretty quickly. I've been taking ibuprofen to help with the pain. I don't know if it's just virgin muscle, poor technique, and high concentrate or if the oil is outside of the muscle and a possible abscess is forming. I have Cephalexin on hand but don't want to take it unless necessary. My plan is to wait another day or 2 so a whole week can pass by and see if it gets better or worse. It's very annoying. I'm ordering grapeseed oil to and cutting 1:1 so I can pin 250mg/ml.

Please let me know what you guys think about that situation!

Day 7:

So my wife (who has no idea I'm on Test) mentioned last night that my balls feel smaller than normal and then followed up by saying that was the best sexual performance I've ever had. So I guess I'm doing something right.

This leads me to ask, should I start the hCG sooner than Week 6 if I'm already noticing atrophy?

On a side note, my right glute is almost back to normal and my left delt looks bionic lol. But I assume I can now chalk this up to virgin muscle, high concentrate, and more than likely noob pinning technique since it is a recurring issue. The Grapeseed Oil is on the way so I will be pinning 0.5 ml of each to see how much relief it may bring.

One week down, 11 more to go, and I'm loving it.

Day 8:

Third pin, 250mg in right quad. Trying to pop my cherry for different muscles to make pinning less of a pain in the near future. My first attempt with my right quad I left about 0.25" out on my 1.5" 23g and aspirated and blood came in. So I pulled the needle out and blood rushed out for a few seconds until pressure was applied. I went to get a different needle and my wife came home at the wrong time and I had to rush into the bathroom which caused me to start shaking. I pinned to the same depth about an inch away from the first spot, got the all clear and slowly injected. But the needle didn't sit very still and felt a slight pinch right after the last of the oil was in my leg. I kept the needle in for 30 seconds, pulled in out and everything seemed fine. I slightly massaged the area about 30 minutes after and I have a heating pad on my leg as I write this. I know there will be decent PIP from my shitty technique this time.

Of more concern, there has been a tiny bump at the injection site since right after I pulled the pin out. I'm just curious as to what may cause this?

Had a badass workout this morning. Pushed another rep on bench after I already thought I was at failure. My appetite is getting higher and my 30 minutes/hour long meals are only taking 15/30 minutes to eat now. And I'm hungrier much more often instead of stuffing my face even when I'm still full. Slowly gaining constant weight but seem to be keeping fat/bloat off well thus far despite the 1,000 calorie surplus. I will post some progress photos Sunday at my 2 week mark.

Blood/oil mixture seeping up the injection channel and pooling subQ. No worries.

Ok, I figured it was Oil under there from some part of the "procedure" lol. I appreciate it.

Day 10:

HOLY PIP. I got up this morning to head to the gym for leg day and could barely even limp. Right quad is in a lot of pain and pretty swollen from Monday's pin. So I decided to make today my rest day and hit the legs tomorrow. Hopefully it'll loosen up by then. There's no redness or heat so I think it'll be fine. Grapeseed oil should be in today so I will see how much relief it brings following Friday's pin.

Let me know if y'all have any questions. Despite the boring, cliche 12 weeks of Test, I want this log to helps others as well.

o I decided to make today my rest day

You might want to "active rest" that if you can.

I find that the feeling of having a solid depo in a quad diminishes significantly with activity.


Walk, body weight squats, hell even full work set squats if you can managed it.

 

[ThatYoungGuy]

How are you feeling in the weight room ? And have you seen any gains or feel stronger yet?

The good thing is my job is pretty intense manual labor so I'm twice as active and probably burn twice as many calories as say an office job. Sometimes it wears me out but I work out before work so it helps keep my muscles from tightening up on me and gives me small exercise throughout the day. With that said, it does feel better after walking around on it. I'll be doing some body weight squats and using the heating pad again this evening to make sure all is good for resuming normal activities tomorrow morning.

Nothing too crazy to report yet. I had a set on bench Monday where I knew I wasn't going to be able to lift all 9 reps and sure enough I pushed the 9 reps up. Last one was a struggle but it was a good feeling when I locked out because it felt like a force helped push that I wasn't capable of.

I'm only 1.5 weeks in though so I'm sure I'll start seeing and feeling results in the next week or 2 from what I've read. I'll be sure to keep y'all updated.

Day 12:

4th Pin Day, Left Glute.

First day with GSO and all went well. Pulled 0.5ml TestE500 with regular 1.5" 21g and then 0.5ml GSO through 1" 20g with filter attached, heated them together, shook them again in the syringe (I always shake vials before pulling from them), then injected with 1.5" 23g as I have been. Pushed the 1.5" all the way into the glute this time.

My workout was intense and I seem to be sweating twice as much the past few days. There was a very noticeable increase on my deadlift. Hit 8 reps of 225lbs when I was at 4 reps last week.

My appetite seems to be up but even more impressive, my weight is up from 184lbs to 194lbs.

Should I start Exemestane Sunday as this may be water weight increasing? Or should I wait until Wednesday to start to play it safe? Sunday marks 2 full weeks (start of week 3). My plan is to take 12.5mg every Sunday and Wednesday. Just don't know if Sunday is a few days too early or not with the longer ester.

 

[TheH0517]

Day 14:

2 weeks in.

1) The GSO made the PIP slim to none. Amazing. Going from barely able to limp from pain and looking like I have a serious injury to no pain at all. I highly recommend using this for high concentrates.

2) I'm eating twice as much, shitting twice as much, sweating twice as much, growing twice as fast, and twice as horny. Best part is my wife keeps me fed, fu**ed, and has no idea why.

3) I took these progress pics this morning, fasted, dehydrated, and no pump. Decent progress with my chest as I'm benching more frequently. Slight progress in my arms with the new blood-flow restriction. Abs are less existent with the added calories and water retention, but they're still visible so I'm still on par.

4) Did yoga outside today. It was nice and peaceful and helped stretch out to reset for this next week.

5) I decided I will start Exemestane at 12.5mg Wednesday night and I'll take it Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights until I get mid-bloods in the middle of week 6.

Day 15:

5th Pin Day. Right Delt.

Slight complications getting the GSO through the filter. I was only able to add .1-.2ml so we will see how the PIP is. The technique seemed to be spot on.

Wife found out about my whole endeavor so that's a whole other story. Just trying to keep my blood pressure down at this point haha.

My appetite has shot up tremendously today. Besides that, not much to update. Increased my weights on squats and deadlifts and still hit my targets with the big 3 this morning.

There seems to be more acne sprouting up. Hopefully the Exemestane will keep that under control when I start Wednesday.

Please let me know if there's any other questions or advice!

 

[AlwaysHungry]

It's going great keep going bro and keep growing!!!

 

[wazzauem]

Shit haha your wife found out

 

[wazzauem]

Good work thanks for the updates

 

[TheH0517]

Shit haha your wife found out

got me stressin lol

 

[Blacken]

She should be glad with all the extra sexual benefits. After a few more piping sessions as long as you don't flip on her she'll be happy and never want you to come off lol. The bad thing is if you do flip on her it will always be blamed on roid rage, so now you need to be extra careful of your emotions around her for awhile.
