Final Report (second post on the thread has finishing pictures)
Ok AM, time to bring this thread to a close. Pct finished on Thursday, gw ran out same day (co incidence) and with no being on mk I’m 100% natty for the first time in over a year.
Weight this morning was 223 so I’ve basically kept a weight gain of 24lbs through pct (it’s a lot of fat though)
Pct has been pretty smooth, couple of rough days maybe but the hcg appears to have helped (been easier than my trest epi pct anyway).
Highlights
- pinning, mentally that was a massive hurdle cleared
- the combo of test, tbol and dien was a beautiful thing, strength was going up crazy amounts.
- lifting wise I hit 374 for 5 on squat, 473 for 5 on dead and 253 for 5 on bench. All massive prs and whilst I made pr’s on all my one reps I didn’t test them when I was at my strongest (or even close to my strongest).
- lack of sides. Really really minimal, only noticable one was the massive amount of water I seemed to have at one point. I guess the nipple sensitivity that dlared up counts but the caber did a great job. Certainly nothing that gave me issues anyway. It all felt very sound throughout.
- libido . Wow that this unbelievable, trest was good but this cycle plus the caber and I was just insanely horny all the time. To steal a
Swimfan expression I was beating my meat like it stole from me. My missus was getting it left right and centre.
Negatives
- fat gained. I seemed to gain this in the first two weeks as my body has looked similar since that point (thought it was all water, it wasn’t although there was a lot of that too). My working assumption is that I amoratise easily and that as a former fatty when I do I am very susceptible to fat gain.
- strength loss whilst on cycle. I started losing strength in the last 4 weeks and maintained where it dropped to in pct- but weirdly a big strength drop.
- training plan. This was my biggest error. Just tried to overload on big lifts for a 16 week cycle. I’m not able to handle that, next time I’ll be working on 2 eight week training periods with a 1rm test and program reset inbetween them.
- winny. Now the brand I had isn’t great for orals according to someone else who’s run their dbol.test is good but the orals less so. Can only think it was under as it really didn’t do much for me.
Overall though I’ve loved this cycle. There was some magical weeks on and I’ve learnt masses that will help me run better cycles for me in the future. I’ll definitively drop my test dose and just use a trt amount down the line with probably eq. Bloods on cycle also gave me a good insight.
Did I achieve the look I wanted, no not at all but as long as my 24lb gain contains some decent lean mass then I’ll cut in a few months and should come into summer looking better than last year.
Thanks to all who followed and supported, the input of the guys and girls on AM is incredible and helps us inexperienced guys run gear in a responsible and safe way.
hairygrandpa - special shout out for the call on using caber when I did get some nipple sensitivity. Sorted that out plus I got to know what a pornstar feels like into the equation lol
