Updates?...You add in the tren and die on us lol...
hahahahaha no man, I'm still tickin, lol.
I went ahead and decided to be disciplined and save the tren / winny for next cycle. If all goes according to plan I am going to start my next cycle mid-september.
I went ahead and made week ten my last Test E shot. My gains basically halted around week eight, and I gained enough strength fast enough that it was putting some strain on my body. Started getting a twinge in my left pec and a really strange type of light muscle pull in my quad. Basically won't do me any good to not be able to go to the gym because I'm injured.
Cycle went well. I just took my last Test E shot on Wednesday. I started Nolva that day. Two weeks from that day I will drop my arimidex and start clomid for PCT. The Nolva will be dropped two weeks into clomid and then I will keep running clomid for 3 more weeks.
The reason why I am overlapping the nolva / clomid that way is because with the long ester of Test E the clomid / PCT shouldn't begin until two weeks after your last shot. But during that time I still want to be taking a SERM. My understanding is that nolva is a bit better then clomid at preventing estrogen related side-effects such as gyno, while clomid is a bit better at getting the boys back online and running at capacity.
No sides to speak of so far. Everything has been pretty solid. I think if I was sleeping better and drinking less (yes I know bad thing to do) I would have had more gains, but I did do pretty well.
Can't wait for my next cycle. It looks like I might be able to get my paws on some HCG for that one. I've got all the gear I need to run the next cycle except I will have to get some more nolva and clomid and possibly arimidex. I'm also going to have EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING else dialed in when I run that cycle lifestyle, sleeping, and diet wise.
I'm thinking about experimenting with shorter cycles in the future, like 6-8 weeks. That is the period where I made the most gains, by far. And the sides didn't really start to pop up until after about week eight (very light shedding, bacne, etc.). I thought my nipples looked slightly puffy for a day or two there but my wife didn't think they looked different it might have been in my head. I've been bulking the whole time too and need to clean some damn fat off after PCT. That might have been what I thought were hints of gyno.
All in all, it was a good experience. Hopefully PCT won't be too bad. It seems like the AI did a pretty good job of keeping me from just completely shutting down so we will see.
