Test Only 500mg/wk (FIRST EVER CYCLE)

[Jamie Sutherland]

Hey people,

Thought I'd throw a little cycle log up here as I always found them interesting to read whenever I was researching in to my first cycle!

A little background:

22 years old
5ft 11"
170 lbs
10% bf
From UK
Training naturally on and off for the last 6 years, but for the past 2-3 I've been very consistent with training and diet.

I know some people might say I'm too young, but tbh I based my decision to start cycling on how long I've been training for. I've made good progress naturally over the past few years and have a solid knowledge of progressive training & nutrition. Don't think I've fully maxed out my natty potential but I'm quite close. I also don't believe there are any limits. I believe progress just slows over time. I'll get some 'start of cycle' pics up soon when I figure out how to do so haha (that's me in my profile pic though from over a year ago now at the end of a cut)

My cycle:

Just doing the standard test only beginner cycle.

Test Cyp - 500mg/wk (alpha pharma)
Aromasin - 12.5mg EOD

PCT:

Nolva only - The standard 40/40/20/20

I have actually pinned once already & the second one is going in tonight! First time was a bit shaky but guess jabbing a needle in my ass is just something I'll get used to over time haha.

Anyway, I'll try to stay as active with this log as possible to document sides/progress/what to expect on a first cycle running test only!

Feel free to follow along and leave any comments/feedback!

It's quite amazing what can be achieved off just a test only cycle. How long are you going to run it for? Took me ages to get over needles lol

Haha I can't wait to see what progress I'll be able to make mate! I have 20x 250mg ampoules so will be able to run 500mg/wk for 10 weeks.

Tell me about it! My hand was shaking quite badly. I feel like I've probably torn the inside of my glute muscle quite a bit lol

Hey man , good luck on your first cycle!
Throw down some numbers for your lifts, and let's see that progression!
Bench
Dead
Squat
OHP

 

[Robert123]

Cool, my first cycle was a test only cycle of prop. Wasn't nice having to pin EOD but it helped me get over the anxiety of doing it. Haha yeah the first time both me and my partner almost passed out!!

Hey bro, will definitely put down some numbers in a day or 2. I've just started in to a new routine and I'm not doing all of those exercises. Some I can't even do at all because of injury (bench).

The main exercises I'll be using to progress on will be: squat, dumbbell shoulder press, pull ups.

I'm very limited with chest exercises because of a shoulder injury I've had for almost a year now which is pretty frustrating. Anyway will get some numbers up soon for exercises which I'll be using!

Great start , you will do well....

 

[bebeav]

Solid foundation for sure!! Keep us update with your diet also.

 

[Evom1]

With a foundation like that, if your diet is on point, you're going to be a monster

 

[Jamie Sutherland]

Thank you man, appreciate it. Can't wait to see what progress I can make over the next 10 weeks

 

[Jamie Sutherland]

Solid foundation for sure!! Keep us update with your diet also.

DIET:

Starting off on 3,200 kcal/day.
This is a slight surplus for me. I'll be monitoring my weight everyday to see how I'm reacting to this and will most likely be bumping that up multiple times throughout the cycle!

Thanks mate, I'll be tracking my calories/macros every day and monitoring scale weight/visual progress closely to make sure that I keep progressing!

 

[Mbell4377]

Wow, brother great starting point! Please keep us updated, I think you'll blow up if that your natty physique. Looking forward to seeing your progress

 

[JC456]

Great foundation. You can gain a lot if you focus entirely on getting bigger this cycle.

 

[MisterSuperGod]

It definitely appears that you've done your research and are putting what you've learned into practice.

If more noobs would follow suit, this place would be so much less hostile.

Didn't realize this was your log when i posted yesterday in another thread... Advising you to do a log. LOL

Kill it, brother! Definitely along for the ride!

Thats how its done. ALWAYS count cals. Otherwise IME you will undereat all day everyday. Your in a different game now. Remember FOOD is the very most ANABOLIC thing on the planet.

One more thing...drop the the aromasin. Dont just take drugs for no reason. At a mere 2cc a week i doubt youll even need it

 

[Jamie Sutherland]

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. Gives me that extra little bit of encouragement to hit this cycle with all I've got and keep this log updated regularly!

Small update: I pinned for the 2nd time last night in my left glute (did right glute first time) and it went a lot smoother!! Think I've got a better technique going now and my hand wasn't shaking all over the place this time haha!

I've also decided to drop the aromasin just to see if I'll be ok without it but if I feel any high oestrogen sides coming on I'll get right back on it. The main reason I'm dropping it is because I know AIs can have a negative effect on cholesterol when combined with AAS and health is a big priority for me!

Aside from that, I'm not really feeling any effects yet as I'm only 4 days in. Looking forward to when the test kicks in!!!
