First Cycle Results: Testestorone 350mg

Hi All, decided to post my first cycle results. Had been on TRT (140mg Weekly) for 18 months prior to the start of the cycle.

My Cycle Consisted of PGW Testosrone Cypionate 200mg a week and PGW Testosterone Propionate around 100/150 a week (was variable due to missing injections as a result of injection frequency). I used it for about 12 weeks had to cut it short due to picking up COVID again.
I kickstarted it with some LP Rad-140 I had, at 10mg Daily for 7 weeks.

Overall:
Gained 10 Kilograms on the scale. Went from 109ish kilograms at 6'4 to 118/119kgs on waking.
Arms Went from 17inches to 18.5inches
Don't fit most of my clothes. Had to order new scrubs.
Strength: Well it was bound to fly up anyway since I didn't train much in lockdown.
Bench: Went from 100 for 5 reps to 130 for 2 reps.
Squat: Went from 120kgs for 3 reps to 160 for 5 reps.
Deadlift: Didn't do it too often, so can't say.

I was coached by Empire. Did and Upper Lower split initially and then Upper/Lower/Rest/Push/Pull/Leg/Rest

Side Effects: None Really, just worsening of Acne. Already Had a bit of pubertal Gyno to begin with.
I Should've ran just test for the whole cycle. Rad-140 made me tired, irritable, lose my appetite and didn't really give me much improvement in gains or strength.

I'll Post some pics:
*Disclaimer: I am not a bodybuilder nor will I ever be, my physique is very asymmetrical and not aesthetic. Also the transformation was much more impressive in person. Everyone accused me on being on gear and rightly so :lol: .

Just a random pic of me in the gym because I felt good that day.

Before

After

Don't have any legs pics, woops. But they definitely grew the most.

I've left out a lot so feel free to ask me anything.

What a great 100th post, congrats, looks like you made some good gains considering the gear you ran.

Curious why you chose to split cyp and prop?

Thanks. I was originally going to run Super Test or Sustanon however after a bit of reading it seemed these mixes could be under dosed or cause a lot of PIP.
I still wanted the benefit of different peaking times from the different esters so I decided to just buy Test C and Test P separately.

I see, I've read so many conflicting anecdotes with regards to dosing frequency. Some people preach how stable levels reduce sides like acne etc, others look to simulate natural levels or take advantage of peaks.

Now that you're finished your cycle, would you do the same thing if you cycled again, or aim for a simpler and more stable plan?

Although I'm very pleased with the results, I'd probably stick to a single ester next time. Perhaps acne wont be as bad and I didn't feel the Test P really added anything.

Well done LesDoctor.

Great job bro. Good idea with sticking to a single ester, no point unless you have a reason in having to inject more frequent

What a good foundation you have started there.

Very impressive. Now what? Back to TRT or give the body time to return natural testosterone function. Why I ask is its borderline impossible for me to get my natural production back after being on gear for such a long time.

you are incredibly modest to be honest, at 6ft 4, and doing the work you constantly do and the fact you are vegan (sorry, the secret is out the bag now Les) is a great testament to how hard you actually work.

not once did you complain, just slogged away, and did your thing. And 10kgs of total weight but having body fat come down probably 2 to 3 kgs as well makes a massive change.

10kgs on most other people would BE DRASTIC, but when you are like 2m tall it changes things up.

lets see what we can do next. well done.

Wow and vegan. Thats double impressive

Thank you so much for the kind words, 00pump. I'm back on TRT because my natural levels are abysmal due to a lack of sleep and stress. Might go off at the end of the year when I have leave.

Thank you, Empire. Couldn't have done it without your constant advice. I'm very keen to see how far we can push my body.

Animal free, that's incredible ??????????????(these were supposed to be clapping emojis) Massive kudos!

It's out now . Could've possibly made better gains if I wasn't vegan but I just can't stand animal products haha

Haha thanks. Was a bit worried I wouldn't grow much, I won't lie

Congratulations, you made some great gains. Keep it up.

Great job man, that's quite a bit of muscle gained. What are your main sources of plant based protein?

Thanks Man! I get my protein from my mass gainer (It's a super cheap vegan one by SSN), tofu, soy milk (I'm a soy boy :lol: ), fake meats (expensive as hell, especially the beyond meat variety) and lentils (I eat about 4 whole cups of cooked lentils daily, helps with the digestion especially when consuming a lot of protein). I eat a lot of complex carbs which generally come with quite a decent amount of protein also (like oats).

Hi LesDoctor,

What did your bodyfat come down to?

I'm not sure. My bodyfat was still quite high but my waist shrunk and abs became a lot more visible.

Hi LesDoctor, what will your next cycle be, diet and what look are you going for?

Thanks

Hey NOS. So I'm currently shedding some weight before summer this year just via diet (advice given by empire) and TRT. My next cycle will be around March Next year, kind of depends on where I get placed for Community Service since it could be somewhere without a Gym.
The next cycle will be a bulking cycle again, aiming to become 120 kg at 15-12%. (Essentially same weight here but leaner)
The cycle will most likely be something with a high dose Test Base + Tbol + EQ. However, havent really thought too much yet and I'll have to discuss with Empire closer to the Time.
My goal is just to look like a 'unit'. Don't want to be shredded just want to be big because I have insecurities given how skinny I used to be :lol: .

Lekker man, goeie werk.
