This is kind of a thread that resembles the "Lying about weights lifted" thread.
After all the reading I've done and continue to do, I've read through A LOT of cycle logs and personal experiences at numerous boards. I think that is a great additon when researching or just to answer a question you have about your cycle, etc, when you feel like you need more info, which is 99% of the time for myself...
So, I've read so many damn times that some of these guys say that they gained like 30-40lbs. in only 10 weeks on a first cycle.....and some even go on to say that they can continue to do this every single time they cycle and at low doses....and some with high doses...
Now, I'm sorry, but I fail to see how you can possibly gain that much from using AAS in only a short amount of time. I don't care if it's your first time cycling androgens, or you're running 10 grams total/week. I just cannot grasp how that would be physically possible.
I mean experience will come into play when making assumptions, and I know that I don't have that much usage behind me, and I realize that. But, this just seems WAY beyond an after-school special when some of these guys post.
I'm on my first cycle still which is prop, and entering week 5. I missed 2-3 workouts due to an injury but that shouldn't be holding me back THAT much. I'm up 6 lbs. from the start and have had about 15lbs. in strength increases....usually 5lbs. on each exc/week...eating close to 5500 cals/week on average, and training along w/ it is totally dialed in...
Now, I have no doubt that the prop is working its magic and I'm pretty happy with my cycle so far. I mean, how often do you have 5lb. increases each week when you're over 230lbs? But, these gains that people report just seem super exaggerated to me...anybody else? If so, let us know your thoughts on expectations, gains, strength, stacks, etc, that will directly effect what kind of results that you will get...
