Alright fellas, I will be starting my first cycle in the next week and I have a feeling it's going to be worth an extensive log detailing every aspect of the run. You can search for my previous thread with the details of my cycle and a little background on me.

Buckle up boys, it's going to be one hell of a ride!

Alright, just ordered some Vitamin C as well as some Taurine. Cheap insurance and it seems to be the main ingredient to treat back pumps shall they arise!

A few quick questions, I looked around and didn't find any solid answers. Perhaps due to me using the mobile app. But I would like to go get blood work done just to see where I stand before I run this cycle. Typically, what levels should I be getting checked?

Secondly, I was doing some reading and stumbled upon the word DHT, something I have seen a lot lately. Although I understand briefly what it is, I was wondering if I should be taking an inhibitor to help minimize hair loss, acne, etc. How effective are such products?

Thanks fellas!

First Cyp injection is in the books! Pinned my right quad. Starting the Halo tomorrow. A little PIP but nothing I can't handle.

All I can say is, what a rush!

If you're worried about any kind of DHT issues that may arise, I'd grab some saw palmetto and some pumpkin seed extract. You can likely find a complex, generally sold as Prostate Protection. Those are the only OTC supps I know that are supposed to mess with DHT levels, i might be wrong though

But that does not mean you can't take precautionary measures for things such as prostate protection, etc.

Feels like the second day after leg day right now. Quad pain is a solid 8. Borderline immobile. Pushing through it as I am sure my body is simply not used to injections as well as the compound. Being that I am also taking Halo, is Advil okay to take for this PIP?

Had my second injection today. Went for the glute today as the quad wasn't pleasant! Started the Hdrol the same day as my test so both should kick in at once (2-3wks). I have minor test flu but it's nothing I can't handle. Other than that, no sides positive/negative.

Quad soreness is gone today. Killed leg day! Literally destroyed every lift I did. Is it normal to be this excited to pin myself again? Haha!

Week 1 is in the books. No significant changes besides a little placebo in the gym. Changed gyms so I can completely shock my body physically and mentally. Picked up another bottle of test to run a bit longer. This cyp is dosed at 200mg/ml and I have two bottles so I figured having another on hand couldn't hurt.

I have 15 wks worth of test so depending on how I feel later in the cycle I may just run it all. But as of now 12 weeks at 500mg per weeks seems to be where I am at.

As far as Halo, I'm running it 50/75/75/75/75/75

Kicked up the Halo to 75mg yesterday. Minor back pumps today. Anxiously awaiting for both compounds to kick into full gear!

Taurine supplementation starts today since I was waiting for the pumps to arrive.

Not bad at all. I just noticed that I felt them so I figured before it gets worse I start getting the taurine flowing.

Nearing the end of week two and I have noticed a slight increase in strength, libido spike, and have been receiving compliments that I am looking bigger already. No sides besides minor back pumps but sometimes I don't even notice they are there as they are not that severe.

What's your diet like? Calories wise.
Right around 3,500 cals. I can handle meal prep diets well so I've been eating ground turkey all week. Next week is my birthday week so I have decided to whip out some steaks I've been saving. 40/40/20 is where I'm at right now. Keeping it clean as I started my bulk rather late in the season.

Right on. I eat 2 lbs. of ground turkey every week. Cheap, lean source of protein.

Ground turkey is just so easy to cook hard not to go with it. Price is hit or miss mattering where you go. I get it for like $12 for a a little over a pound like 1.3. I don't know if you said this before but how much over maintence are you?

Liver enzymes are high if I read that correctly. But haven't had a chance to talk to the doc as my results were just posted online. Anyone have any idea how severe 77 is?

Eh, you'll be fine. Any OTC medication will spike liver levels. In on this... When I ran halo 50/75/75/75/75/75, felt like sweet spot was at 75mgs. Sounds like a great cycle.

Need some advice here fellas. So I have been contemplating adding in something towards the end of the cycle to harden me up or help produce some lean gains a bit. I don't have a competition for a while so I don't need anything crazy and I don't plan to drop my BF low enough to reap the benefits of clen. My Halo cycle will be ending in 4 weeks and I would prefer to stay away from another oral, so this would have to be an injectable. One of my main guys has deca, test e, primo (not sure if legit), and masteron. I have access to Winny, Var, EQ, Clen, etc.. but not really excited to pay for the Var until I am in contest prep. You guys are the experts so before I run this idea by my coach I would like to see what you all thought of this idea and if you do think it wouldn't hurt to toss something in the mix, what would you recommend?

first cycle, stick to 1 or two compounds and see how you come out after pct.

Save stacking multiple compounds for the future, imo..

Quick update. Week 4 is here. Still don't feel "on" but back pumps are nuts! It brought me to an abrupt halt in the gym two days ago.

Current weight is 209.4lbs. So that would be a 14lb gain in 4 weeks granted I started at 195lb. Looking much bigger all over! Progress pictures this weekend to mark 1/3rd complete!

I'm hoping too man! All the hype around it has me wondering when it'll happen. But I'm not losing faith. Any idea what type of feelings occur in relation to feeling "on".

I'm at 500mg a week split Sunday/Wednesday. Debating if I should up the dose to 600mg.

Was thinking of dosing 200 every 4 days to extend the 20ml to 12 weeks. But if you're not really on yet at your dosing it has me reconcidering.

Yeah bro. I'm not sure what to expect as this is my first cycle. Maybe I'm a late bloomer..
