1st cycle of test log. (advice?)

[axisdrumer]

im geting ready to start a 15 week cycle of test (first pin is today). my pct will consist of nolva and clomid. this is my first cycle. i am 165 and about 5'8 (very ectomorph) my diet is prety clean and i usually eat 4 to 6 meals a day at about 1000 calories a meal. the only other supplements i am takeing are a monohydrate, waximaze, and whey and cassien protien. i will be documenting my cycle in this forum. if anyone has any advice, feel free, i love to learn.

What type of test? What dose? Why 15wk?

[freqfly]

How much test are you running?

[axisdrumer]

its ethinate test . im doing 500 mg (2cc a week). and a trusted source recomended a 15 week cycle, and that seems to be a prety common cycle length for this cycle.

10-12 weeks is enough for a first cycle. 15 weeks is stretching it without HCG.

Second that.. stick with 10-12.

[axisdrumer]

right on. im gunna do some more research on that. thanks for the advice. so i did my first injection a little while ago. and i was super nervous. but it did not hurt at all. i did 2cc's into the glutes, injection site is kinda sore but nothing to bad. im just excited to start seein some results!!!! this is gunna be the longest 3-6 weeks ever.

im just excited to start seein some results!!!!

be prepared to wait 4-6 weeks for full effects

[axisdrumer]

thats what i hear. ya im prepared to wait, but im still prety excited, even tho i wont feel the effects, im still pshyced to go hit the gym tomorow.

[axisdrumer]

day 2 still prety sore on injection site. nothing to extreme. i recently had my wisdom teeth pulled and immeditely after got really sik so needless to say,not only was i outa the gym, but i couldnt eat much for like 2 weeks, so im still geting back in the swing of things. i lost about 7-8 lbs in those 2 weks =( so i weighed in at 160 even this morning, dry with boxers on =( prety sad.

if you have three vials you should count on losing some in the pinning process i Imagen you will only get 13 to 14 out of those three vials not the 15 week. mod edit: read the rules.

[axisdrumer]

thanx pepti. ya i got three vials. so yesterday i was super moody. dont kno if thats due to the test or me being pissy. and injection site was prety sore but it feels 80% beter today. paitently waiting to see/feel some results. workouts have been really good, probably because im super excited for some RESULTS!

[nattydisaster]

I would always run an AI such as IBE Formex when running test

[triton185]

Yeah! I wish I had run an AI! You might end up crying like girl like I have....literally! Sorta funny.....otherwise very happy with my first cycle of test. Gotta tell ya though....it's addicting! Love the way I feel in the gym and recovery is awesome!

[nattydisaster]

LOL yup estrogen will do that to you

[Grambo]

Ya an AI during is probably a good idea if I ever do test again because I had some major water retention (though some was my bulking "diet") and it makes it obvious what is going on. Formadrol of some type or aromasin are good and should keep estrogen in check.

i just ended an enanthate cycle of 20 weeks (similar starting stats, except i was 180)... by week 15 i was topped out on the weight gain, so it was pointless past that really. so in my individual case i did gain weight past 12 weeks. i dont think length of cycle really matters for a beginner as much as to what youre actually using. technically u could go till u stop gaining weight... i mean i was just as shutdown in week 12 as i was in week 20 put it that way

[Grambo]

Did you use hCG? Thats the only way I would go that long? The longer you are shut down the longer you will take to come back to allostasis or normality though it is dependent on the person.

[axisdrumer]

right on natty. im going to look into that. tanx.

[axisdrumer]

perfect triton. ya im really excited about it. i cant tell if its starting to work or if im just giddy and excited. haha super stoked
