Tommy2Vials First Cycle Log - Test C 500MG

[Tommy2Vial]

Hey guys, long time lurker here finally switching over to the dark side. I personally have loved reading all of the logs as that is where I have got most of my information from as well as found out what to expect. If you guys have any questions or comments i’d love to hear everything, positive or negative so have at it! I just came off a very long 7 month cut where I cut 30 pounds nice and slow. My lifts have definitely took a hit so that’s why they look pretty shit. You’ll also notice as it’s my first cycle i’ve read a ton online that less is more and don’t go crazy with it. Planning to keep my first cycle at 375mg a week because for health reasons I want to keep my cycles to just test. This will allow me to increase to 500 or so on the next one and still see a nice boost again. Somethings that I want to note that i’ll probably get slammed for but I really want others like me to take note of as they may be wondering too. I have Ulcerative Colitis and PSC. I have done a ton of research online and from everything i’ve read people have actually benefited from AAS with UC as it’s an immune suppressant which is align with all the medications that we take for it. I have also read that testosterone can create a protective barrier on the liver so we will see how it goes. I have chose aromasin over arimidex as I know that it is also easier on the liver.

Pre Stats:
Age - 25
Weight - 179
Height - 5’10"
BF% - 13
Bench - 3x5 at 210
OHP - 3x5 at 120

Week 1 - 179.5 - Saturday June 23:
-Did my first injection on an empty stomach and hadn’t drank as I just woke up. Wasn’t smart because I began to sweat and almost fainted. Off to a great start! However my friend was with me and we swapped the needle and he did it in my rear delt. Injection went quite well, no pain, little shoulder stiffness i guess a few days after but hasn’t affected my lifts. By day 3 (i’m probably nuts and this is in my head) but I started feeling more aggressive and was taking less time in between sets ready to go. Most likely just caused due to the excitement as I look forward to the next pin. One other thing to note is that I have been having very bad sleeps through the night the last 2 nights, waking up several times. But then through the day I feel like I have just as much energy if not more than before.

Week 2: Friday June 29th
Weight 181.5
After reading a bunch of articles showing statistics on test at 250mg, to 350 to 500 i decided to up it to 500 and moved it a day early to make it so my first week would have almost equaled 500 as well.

This week i injected in the thigh vs my rear delt last week. Wasn’t a huge fan of the stiffness I got in the shoulder and the leg went much easier. Had almost no pain at all during injection and has felt pretty good since then. The placebo affect the first few days of week 1 wore off and i’ve basically felt back to normal. Haven’t noticed much other than I have definitely noticed a libido spike. Added a couple reps to my lifts here and there and that’s about it so far for this week. I have also stopped the aromasin for a week as I was getting moody and noticed my joints were feeling hot and dry. That passed after about 3 days of not using it and I feel back to normal now.Apparently you shouldn’t really even need an AI on 375, but I may need to start soon now that i’m up to 500. Keeping a very close eye on my nips

Week 3: Friday July 6th
Weight 185.5

I used the left thigh this time for the injection. After a few days last week the right thigh became very stiff with all the extra fluid in it and this left thigh is doing the same. Apparently this passes after the muscle gets used to having the extra fluid in it. That aside, the weight is coming on fast! Not sure if this is the test yet, probably just from the 1000 calorie increase from switching from cutting back to bulk. I have already noticed a change in the mirror, I assume my glycogen stores have just been restored and i'm all plump now lol.

Still haven't noticed a whole lot in the gym, maybe a little extra energy, have been adding reps to most lifts but my legs have been feeling great. Added 2 reps per set for 4 sets on squats and added 15 lbs to my leg press. I have been super motivated, eating lots, drinking lots of water and went 7 days last week!

I think that's about it for today, if anyone has any tips or comments on my stiff thighs after injections that'd be great. Excited for what week 3 has to bring!

Cheers,

You could give the area a good firm massage after injection and try heating the oil a bit also before injection. May or may not help. Bit of stiffness is pretty normal when your putting a foreign mass into your muscle tissue ya know...

Kick ass handle. Enjoy the cycle.

This will allow me to increase to 500 or so on the next one and still see a nice boost again.

Depending on time “off” you won’t necessarily need to increase the dose. If you’re on for 12 then off for 12, 500mg again will still yield good results.

Looks like you’re off to a good start.

Welcome.

Week 4: Friday July 13th
Weight 191 (11.5 LB increase from the start!)

Used the right thigh again this time and it seems to be handling it much better this time. Not near as stiff and no pain. Was definitely starting to notice some increase in focus and pounded out more reps at the gym last week. Nothing too crazy but was feeling pretty good! I increased my calories to around 3500 and will stay here for another couple of weeks.

Now Saturday is when it all went bad. I'll try and give as much detail as possible so hopefully someone can help me out. I injected Friday morning, and everything was feeling great. That night I went out with some friends, I know you're not supposed to drink alochol on Test but I had 2 light beers. I woke up Saturday with a massive head ache, low grade fever and general crappy feeling. I also had 2 small rash patches only on my right side. I had a coffee and some tylenol and the head ache and fever went away for awhile but I was still feeling very tired my stomach was also very bloated Saturday night. Today, Sunday, I still have a pounding headache and the rash is still here. Still feeling weak and tired.

From everything I've read online, this is either test flu or high estrogen, or possibly a mixture of both. I took half of my 12.5 mg pills last night, a day early as i've been taking it E3D to see if it would make it better and hoping that i don't crash my estrogen. I hope this isn't an allergy to the test, It would seem very weird to take 4 weeks to notice. For now i'm going to lay low and rest up and hope that it is just test flu and it passes. Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

No update this week fellas. Had shingles last week which was hell. Starting to feel better already though so i'm happy for that! Had my first day back in the gym yesterday. Felt weak and lost 4 lbs but glad to be back at it slowly.
