+ 2 Your first cycle experience?
ad
I am going to be running my first test cycle very soon and I just want to get some feedback on how your first cycle went, what results you got, sides, etc. I understand everybody is different and my experience will probably differ from yours but just in general what was it like? I'm really lookin to do a strong recomp, not a full on cut. It will be 500 a week for 12 weeks like the vets suggest

Just finished my 2nd cycle and going into PCT. First cycle experience was great. People started to comment. Appetite went nuts but was lucky that I had my diet planned out and more importantly - prep'd . It makes things so much easier when, as you're getting hungry, chicken is already waiting in the fridge for you, sliced and seasoned. All u gotta do is grill it and it's ready. There are times where it would have been likely that I would have gone with shit food if it wasnt for the prep. When you're hungry, the last thing you want is to spend another 10 mins preping.
Sleep - Really discipline urself. I cut down going out to 1 night a week (friday nights) and only have a few drinks. That's it. I give up a social life for 3 months so I can eat right and sleep right. You're investing in yourself.
And be patient. You WILL look bigger and grow. It wont be instant. But if u stay disciplined, eat right workout right and sleep right, you will start hearing complements before you see it in the mirror yourself.
AnonYea the hardest part for me is definitely dieting. But now that I will be on cycle I think it will really help me stay disciplined and not cheat
I would get your diet right first mate, I think it’s a bad idea to say It will be right when I’m on cycle, I'd be planning and starting your diet before you start jabbing, My gym partner made this mistake and found it hard getting in a good diet routine, he was hungrier on cycle and was just eating whatever was in front of him or easy to get.. My first cycle went well I did a lot of reading about ai and pct as that was a part I didn’t want to stuff up. my diet could have been better I know that now but, it was ok as I am a good eater all year round (fast metabolism five meals a day + snacks), I just made sure I didn’t go hungry and I tried to eat well every time I ate, not much snacking between meals I just ate more meals if that makes sense... if I had to snack it was a protein shake and fruit or egg sandwich or something. I gained about 20 pounds using 400mg/week of test E (unigen test) and I had good strength gains. The weight and strength I lost when I ended my cycle I got back within a month or two after finishing which was great, I tried to act like I was still on cycle when it finished, I just tried to keep to the same intensity and training/diet program. Something I did not expect was the sense of wellbeing I had I felt great on cycle, it kind of crashed when I got off and I then understood a little better the addiction to these substances some people get, at that point I made a plan to only use juice when I was feeling great already and in a positive mind set, I don’t ever want to rely on a substance to make me feel great! Well that’s my first cycle mate hope it helps in some way, good luck!!
AnonVery helpful bro. I'm trying to eat as clean as possible being away at school rite now but in the summer wen I can prepare all my own meals my diet will be fully dialed in. Thanks for the input
Give them a vote if you find it helpful.PermalinkMake sure you have everything planned out. Diet, workout, no vacations where you may be more inclined to slack off or worse missing a pin. A lot of people that I know cycle sometimes don't plan that far ahead and then realize they have to go out of state or something and can't bring their vials on the planes obviously so they miss pins, or slack off with training and diet. Good luck bro, you will love the gains
AnonI have been planning this cycle for over a year so I can focus on it 100% bro lol and thanks for your input!
Give them a vote if you find it helpful.PermalinkMy blood pressure went through the fucking roof.. Watch out for that shit bro
i kicked with 5 weeks of dbol and hadnt yet found this site to know thats not the greatest idea, and pinned 500mgs a week of test e for 10 weeks. i gained 40 lbs in that time, but cared only about 2 things - the numbers going up on the scale and my strength increasing. i didnt care about bloating from the dbol, or about the huge spike in bf % from the ridiculous amnts of food i was eatng, but after the damage was done i DEFINITLY began to care. i spent a hell of a lot of time afterwards learning how to bulk lean and clean, how to cut and drop all this bf i packed on, which i wish i wouldve done before i ever even started, and have been applying it ever since. after pct i was down about 10 lbs give or take, and started to eat clean and train hard again which got me where i wanted to be again physically (i toned down the intensity of my training when i was in pct). moral of my story - whats in the mirror is far more inportant to me now than the numbers in the scale
AnonI somewhat agree with you here. I will not care at all what the scale says when I sart to cycle. I may not even keep track of my weight. However, the main thing I want to focus on is appearance but also, want to get stronger than I ever was in the process. Looking forward to the challenge!
My first cycle would have been a lot better had I found eroids. Got my product/info from a "friend" , I got very bloated, my wallet got very unbloated , at the end of it I may have kept a lb or two , was such a waste. dah well....
AnonA pound or two? I'm guessing it was some type of oral only cycle?
nope, some crippling test e, and somebadex clomid ans nolva that was definately bunk, plus crappy diet and training, just an all around trainwrexk
AnonMore info fellas
im not sure how old you are but i waited till i was 34 years old before my first run, and all i can say it has changed my life completely (for the better) you have a good start with the 500 a week make sure you get the proper ai and pct to help keep sides low and to recover after your done. i gained 22lbs and strength has improved greatly and most importantly is to make sure you have a good woman to take care of that extra desire because you will want it morning noon and night. this site has lots of good info take advantage of it!!
AnonI'm 26 years old and I have aromasin clomid and nolvadex all ready to go for a full pct and aromasin on cycle at 12.5 eod starting the fourth week probably
I added 20 lbs of LBM, dropped three percent body fat, felt great. Estrogen was kept in check and confirmed with bloods. Learned a lot, really enjoyed it. I owe my first cycle to Eroids. I'm sure it would have been a disaster with out it.
+1 for keeping it simple.
AnonAny cardio on cycle or just lifting and diet?
For the first month I was training for a marathon so I was putting on a lot of miles, I hurt my foot and for the next two months I did little to no cardio. Started lifting heavy, loved every minute of it.
RustyhookerMy first was back before ai/pct was all dialed in.. Tapering was the way back then. Lol. Cycle went great but surely woulda been better with an ai. Strength up, felt good n happy. The first pin took about 2 hours of fully sweaty worried trials. Finally jabbed and was actually damn easy! Roid rage was the daily news story so kept waiting for me to get pissy and weird out. Didn't happen...lol! Test actually made me very happ and focused. Good luck to ya!
AnonTwo hours of sweating lmao that's funny! I'm sure I'm going to be nervous as shit wen it comes time to pin as well
SpyVMy first pin was on sunday, and in the glute. Got all cold sweaty just before but quickly got over it.
Last night was my second pin, and it was quad. Let the wifey sit in with me, and got a little light headed at the end. I've always disliked needles ever since a really bad experience as a teenager. Once I was done I just enjoyed a moment laying down then I was good to go.
Anyways, experiences will vary for that part of the deal, hah. I've seen guys missing both legs and an arm and I barely batted my eyes at it in Afghanistan, and a little pin makes me cringe.
