Re: putting together my first cycle

I am enjoying it thanks. I feel like I did when I first started working out and watching as my body morphs into something different but something better. I'm also enjoying the minimal fat gain! The only thing I don't like is the injections.

You'll get use to it bro, it is an awesome feeling being on and seeing how you transform.

I was hitting delts and glutes, no problems

Ok, small update and a question.

I got a bit ambitious the other day but it turned out quite well and squatted 200x5 solid, deep reps. Incline bench is now at 115x9. I decided to throw in some db pressing in my chest workout but it killed my shoulders even at fairly high reps. My shoulders aren't feeling so great right now so I think I'll take a short break from pressing movements for a few days.

Now for the question. Today I've noticed that the nips are a tiny bit sensitive. Does this mean I have to hop on the letro or can I wait it our and see if it gets any worse first? I don't wunna jump the gun here.

Nip it in the bud if you really are feeling something. Start the letro.

Thanks for the reply. Would 0.25mg eod be ok? Do I stop taking it once I've noticed the sensitivy is gone?

yes starting with that is fine.. Taper it off once the sensitivity is gone, don't just stop..

I am however more mtovated than ever to come out of this looking look a g'damn superhero!! So now I've cranked this shit up and am in the Rocky mindset now!

Beast Mode: [ON] OFF!

@Stanabolic: Sorry for the late reply only saw this now. Have some karma for acting like a baws!

Haha thanks Pyro.

So I'm still making solid progress. Incline bench is at 125x6 now. My back has probably come up the most. I'm having trouble packing on the meat on my triceps but I've changed things around a bit and have added in some heavy close grip benching. They're not a weak point at all but I want those Roelly Winklaar arms! I'm taking 0.25mg letro eod now.

Morning weight is at 113kgs. I should probably be heavier than this. Time to eat more!
I've got a bit of acne on my chest and neck. Maybe the letro will help? I'm not really worried about it though. Benzan should keep things at a minimum for now. It looks like I will be extending this cycle.

Good job bro, looking forward to seeing some pics when you finish

Cool bud, are you going the 15 weeks now? What is your Calories sitting at at the moment and how's the top abs? Still coming through?

Stanabolic what has your cycle looked like so far, as in what compounds have you been using and at what dosages? How many weeks in are you and what have your gains been in terms of size, weight and BF% dop/rise? Strength looks good bro, keep it up! Have you been logging some pics of some of you size gains?

@David- It will be 14 weeks (frontloaded that 1st week) but yea I've decided to go for it. I'm not sure yet but I'll probably bulk until week 11 and cut from there until PCT. I'm just deciding between getting anavar or winstrol.

I'm not sure on my total cals but I will post what I typically eat in a day tomorrow.

@MK- I'm on testcyp only. 400mg a week except for the 1st week which I did 800mg frontload. I'm coming into my 6th week now. I think I was around 103.5 at the start of the cycle. I don't know exactly how much as been muscle, water or fat. From what I'm used to naturally, the fat gain that has accomidated the weight gain is minimal in comparison. While I am happy with the size I've gained so far, I think the best gains are still to come.

Awesome bro, what does your budget look like? could you afford both with some proviron?

You said you were around 103 at start of cycle, what you sitting on now?

@David: He said he's on 113kg now.

@Stanabolic: Awesome bro, 10kgs in 6 weeks! Although I think a lot of that will be water, no doubt some are some quality muscle gains! Keep it up. By the way, what's your BF% drop been like throughout the cycle? Maybe add in some Proviron now at 50mg ED to help with the bloat?

@David- I had put some money aside for ovidrel and aromasin in case I wanted to do Doc's PCT. I'll use that money to extend to cycle and put some more aside next month for the HCG.
I'm still waiting to hear back on prices but if anavar it as expensive as people are making it out to be (am yet to hear an actual figure) then I don't think I couls get both. I may however be able to go for winny and proviron if it comes to a similiar price. Would those 2 be better together than just anavar on its own? Testcyp is obviosuly a definite.

@MK- No drop in BF mate. I've definitely picked up a bit but like I say, given the amount of dtrength and muscle that has come with it, its no problem. If I had put on 10kgs in 6 weeks naturally then I would bet 90% of that would be fat. Recently my face has been a bit less bloated, maybe from the addition of letro. I used to be a fatty a few years back so I can handle walking around with a bit of bloat

No drop in BF and I'm assuming no gain either. Perhaps that will come with the bridge a little later on. Keep it up though, try milk every drop out of this cycle!

Ok quick update...

Acne is slowly getting worse around the shoulders.

I've been getting frequent headaches lately. Could this be the letro? Should I discontinue it? All sentivity in the nips have gone and I don't feel any puffiness.

I'm very close to my goal size! I'm just looking for some more overall size in the delts, traps and calves. I will definitely be there by the time I start cutting which I'm really looking forward to. I'm just still waiting to hear back about the goods.

As for my lifts, I'm very close to incline pressing 140 for reps. I've been going lighter on the squats lately and did 140x25. Now I know why they call 20+ rep squats widow makers! My appetite is sky high so this should be a productive month.

Awesome stuff bro, keep it up! What have your mass gains been like and BF%? Strength gains seem excellent, glad that it's paying off! Any chance we could get some progress pics posted up?

Thanks. I'm not sure but I'll get my BF% checked before the cut and then again after.
I don't think I'll throw up any pics hey. I see Chapel had to take down his as people recognized him from his log pics.

Ok I'm going to have to go for the winny as anavar is too expensive for just 1000mg.
Anyone who reads this and can answer please can you tell me, would taking 40mg winny for the 25 days before PCT be ok?
It comes as 100x10mg tabs...

Yes actually it is a well-known bridge. Winny and proviron @ 40mg daily each, maybe even 50mg winny.

The reason for this is that they are both DHT deritaves, thus less suppresive. They dont retain water because the are non-aromatizable and can actually lower estrogen(the proviron not sure about the winstrol).

So if you looking to cut down a bit and drop some water winny and proviron with some fasted cardio and clean diet should take care of any water you might have gained on cycle.

Your gains are amazing bud. Well done.

40mg is enough, see you have opted just for winny and proviron. This will still be a good combo and work in synergy. Just taper off the letro, don't just stop all together.

Great thanks guys.

I've been getting intense carb cravings lately! Eating everything in sight and its usually not the cleanest of sources! I think its starting to show :blush: but I'll be cleaning things up again soon.

Trained legs today and maxed out on the squat with 220x1. Finally! Only problem is I have a bit of pain in my patella tendon now. Form was good, deep, controlled and it went up quite smoothly but maybe I wasn't really ready for it.

Calves are up an inch total and all in all everything is still going well.

Hey bro, really enjoying following your progress. Your gaining great !! Are you going to post some before and after pics sometime?
