Background:
I worked out alot in the gym during college and for a few years afterword. I am a hard gainer, not really skinny, but Lean.
The most I could ever Bench during my younger years was about 185lbs 8 reps. I got burnt out, didn't eat right, nor did I completely understand all the basic's that went into a good routine. I thought lifting was it...Never thought about nutrition, recovery time, etc.
Then, I took 7 years off (Got married, had kids). back in June of 2003 (about 16 months ago), my wife said, "Why don't you look like you did when you were younger". I said "well ****, that does it...I'm gonna get back into shape and SHOW HER". I was motivated.
June 2003: 197lbs, 6' 0", probably around 15-16% bodyfat. Waist was 35". I was not happy about the waist. So, for 3 months I started jogging 5 times a week. In the 3rd month, I lowered that to 3 times a week, and going to the gym 3 times per week.
Sept 1 2003: 165lbs, around 9% bodyfat. Waist back down to my 32". Very pleased, and ripped. but skinny. Wife said, "you need some bulk". In september I could only bench about 135lbs 10times. Not too happy about this.
Oct 1st 2004: After a year in the gym, but with a crappy diet (I never ate enough protein, nor enough calories):
177lbs, 10% bodyfat, 32" waist. Bench all the way up to 205lbs about 6 reps.
Cycle started Oct 4th:
wks 1-6 1-test Trans 425mg/day
wks 1-6 4-ad Trans 350mg/day
wks 2-6 M4ohn 40mgs/day
Final stats:
187.5lbs, in the morning, no clothes, completely dry after a good long pee. Bodyfat the same = 9.9-10.2% bodyfat. Waist 32". Bench, arms, back, legs, all have gone up in strength. Bench has always been my weakest, but I'm pleased that I can now do 225lbs 8 reps, then i do 205 (2 sets) for 8 reps each. That's a pretty good increase in 6 weeks. I don't quite feel bigger, but my jeans no longer fit in the legs, and my shirts are tighter. Of course the wife says "you are alot thicker now".
In addition, alot more veins "poke" out.
So there you have it. 10lbs in 6-weeks, NO BLOAT, no water retention, bigger all round. pretty pleased. In fact, I'm getting close to my old weight when i was 5-6% higher bodyfat, and 3" bigger waist.
So, Tomorrow I start 4 weeks of Nolva. Then I'm on the heavy duty 10 weeker 1-test/4-ad CYP cycle. that should be interesting!
Sides: 2 days I did not use 4-ad (i switched between BIG1 and using T-gel) and ran out. I got very lethargic those days, and got really pissed off easily. For the most part, I have no sides. I do get moody, but that's normal. Oh, one interesting thing: I really had some bad acne for the first 3 weeks (and I'm 35 years old). Once the M4Ohn kicked in, all acne went away. NON, zero.
finally, on my forearms, I seem to break out in bumps from the 1-test Transdermal. This doesn't happen on my thighs however.
That is all. 1 cycle under the belt.
