1st cycle log. Test + 1-Andro + 4-Andro

[Strongmanstarter]

I will be running 200mg test c per week (dose from TRT prescription I just got) and 4 pumps each day (2 in the morning and 2 at night for a total of 200mg) of each Andro topical cream. Cycle will start next week once my test arrives. This will be my first time using anything. I know it is recommended to bulk for your first cycle, but I still need to drop some weight for a competition. Currently 5'8" 180lbs ~ 10% BF as of this morning and need to get to 175 in another 6 weeks. Sitting at a 300/440/565 bench/squat/deadlift. Goal of the cycle is to gain some strength while cutting. Ideally I'd like to see a 315 bench and 585 deadlift. I'd be happy with another 15lbs on my squat as well. I'll have an AI on hand if necessary. Will be logging my workouts and thoughts on the cycle here

I decided to start the cream this week as a sort of "kick starter." I also want to have it clear from my system before my next set of bloodwork. My test is due to arrive on Monday.

At first I thought it wasn't going to be a big deal, but it really is rather tedious to apply lotion twice a day. I haven't noticed any changes thus far, but it's only been a week
