In our case, dirty minds think alike lol

And with test running within me, forget it bro...I'm 10x nastier. I can't wait for your cycle. AM will be posting stickies about how dirty you are.

My gym is closed for July 4th. Bummer. That means I'll be hitting up a different gym and just paying their day fee. Biggest issue therein is that tomorrow is my A3 day, meaning I use a lot of machine (HS Chest Press + shoulder press, etc.), and with machines there's so much variance in weight between what each gym has. Sucks not being able to track your numbers the way you'd like to, to ensure you're beating the log book.

[Dr.Stri8ed]

I wouldn't worry about the possible weight differences, just feel the weight u know what I mean broski.

[P_MIKE_V]

I'm comin in late, but I was researching this very cycle, and came across this thread! Lookin sick brotha man! With a few tweeks (lower-dosed Test e, and no HCG[can't find it for S**]), this will essentially be what I'll be running as my next cycle for twelve weeks. SO I guess I'm sub'd to see how it plays out, best of luck with the gains! Looks like you may push ~200 by the end of this!

[GreenEarth]

Stri8ed - I do know what you mean, I'm just one of those suckers that gets off seeing my numbers go up in my log book, and from week to week it's hard to know if it's happening or not on completely different HS Machines. I will be feeling it out, though.

P_Mike - Thanks man, definitely keep following if you're considering this cycle. Has been great so far...it's relatively mild, so I really haven't faced any big sides or anything of the sort. As far as my weight goes - on Monday I was 196.5lbs, so I think I want to hit at least 200 before officially starting my cutting/recomp phase in a week or two.

[P_MIKE_V]

definitely I'm planning everything out still wont be until August or later. sub'd and rep'd, I dig your commitment and thoroughness bro!

So, I'm still disappointed in having to "feel" machines out...I have no idea if I progressed or even if I worked myself as hard as I could have, rep-wise. I'm considering going today and repeating the A3 workout at my usual gym...they say test lets you recover pretty damn fast, so what say we put that theory to the test (no pun intended)? I'm down.

HOLY **** am I happy I decided to do this workout again today! Numbers of everything soared, I actually increased weight AND reps on damn near every exercise...I think it's safe to say the Test has officially kicked in, and doing an extra workout allows me to fully exploit the Epi (last 4 days of it here) while it's "in".

[Dr.Stri8ed]

Nice work bro, u f*cking killed it.

[GreenEarth]

Thanks man.

Almost forgot to mention - weight today was 198.8lbs And that was after taking a huge dump! Thinking 200lbs or more by Saturday morning...got two workouts and a lot of cals before hitting that mark.

Any fat gain so far?

yeeeaaaa buddy! 2 hundo no prob!

[GreenEarth]

Any fat gain so far?

Good question lol. To me, in the mirror, I look just as lean if not leaner. Buuuuutttt it's hard to tell, because with the low-dosed AI and a lot of carb intake/glycogen storage, I definitely feel more water-logged than usual. As I come towards the end of my cycle I'm going to increase my AI dosage to shed some more of the water weight (along with tightening my diet up to recomp/cut), and at that point I'll truly know. But I'm 17lbs heavier than where I started, and it's just been 6 weeks lol. If the majority of that were fat, I would know...I'd say at most it would be 1-2lbs, but it may not even be that.

Mike - Thanks man, the big two-double-O is coming my way, I can feel it!

I think your fat gain is negligible, and some water weight is expected but your gains r solid fur sure.

Damn, if the looks and the comments I was getting at the pool today are any indication, I think this cycle is going quite well lol.

Thoughts: Hell yeah budday! Thought I would post up some before and current pictures for my cycle thus far...first pic is week one, second pic is today. This covers 6 weeks of test-e and basically the entirety of my epi cycle. My entire upper body has really exploded (chest, shoulders, traps), my arms are larger, and my midsections looks the same, which would suggest that perhaps I have kept the same bf% (don't care about my midsection until the cut/recomp). Makes me really excited for what the last 4 weeks of test will hold:

I'm thinking I'll bulk for this week, and then hit my straight cut/recomp part of the cycle for the last 3 weeks. I have the greatest temptation to extend the cycle and extra two weeks (12 weeks total), but I will update on that later

Isn't it sad when you reach your final week of a compound =(

I say go for it bro, 12 weeks will be awesome, plus do you think you're going to want to stop at 10?

Seated HS Row (1-armed) - WU: 3pps X 15. RP Set: 6pps 11 + 7 + 4
13 second static


Thoughts: Damn, weight felt so light today. I was feeling good so I increased my smythe BB bench 30 f**king pounds...still got great rep number (15 rest pause reps). Smythe Shoulder has pretty much bottomed out, but I may keep it in the cycle in the hopes that I can do something to make it budge. Dips I went up 5lbs and went up in reps as well, plus my ending BW set went up in reps. Lat pulldown was +10lbs with the same number or reps (can't figure out how I got 4 reps on the 2nd and 3rd set...mystery lol). Seated HS Row was the same weight (I can't fit any more on the machine lol), but I straightened up form and increased reps. **** felt like. Walked out feeling beastly. Officially can say the test is allllll the way kicked in, right as I'm coming off epi, which is exactly what I wanted. Weighted in at ****ing 202lbs today - 20lbs up from my start weight. Steroids are the ****ing life guys, really considering getting one more vial to extend an extra 2 weeks...most claim the difference in recovery between 10 weeks and 12 weeks is pretty much negligible, so it kind of seems like "why not?" right now lol.

Now time to go eat my usual post-WO pound of lean ground beef.

Exactly. If u need me I'm in the laboratory, its time for chemistry yo!

[GreenEarth]

Oh for God's sake guys lol...I secretly love and hate all of you. And 215????!!! My last 3-5 weeks (dependent on increasing cycle length) is supposed to be a recomp/cut...how in the world am I going to put on 13 more lbs on a cut/recomp? Increasing test span is definitely fine by me...but don't change my goals too! Dear God man...feel like I'd be a complete fatty at 215 lol. Sounds like a goal for next cycle (which, after the awesomeness of this cycle, is definitely happening, I promise).


BTW, my incline smythe increased 30lbs that last workout. Progress!
