Hey! New here :)
ad
What up dudes, I've been-a lurkin these parts for a long time and the time has come to introduce myself, contribute, and soon post my first cycle log!
stats:
age - 26
height - 5"10
weight - 190
bf - 14-16%
First Cycle (started Sept. 28)
12 week Test E 250mg E3D (575mg / week)
After seeing how my first pin went, I went with my original plan and frontloaded (500mg on 2nd & 3rd pin)
Have Arimidex on hand, not sure of dosing schedule yet, I'll try 0.25 mg EOD when I feel sides arise and adjust accordingly. Going to get week 6 bloods.
HCG 500 IU / week weeks 10-14
PCT
2-3 weeks after last pin
Clomid 4 Weeks 100/50/50/50
Stay tuned for my cycle log and more to come! lets get hyooooj

when you say preloaded what do you mean? how much test are you injecting per week? what do you mean by how you reacted to first pin?
Hey man, I actually meant frontloaded! woops. I'm injecting 250 mg every 3 days, which equates to about 575 mg / week.
So first pin was 250 mg, I just wanted to sort of experience the PIP before I pinned 500 mg which I assumed correctly to hurt more hahah
It might have been unwise to frontload on my first cycle (what do you think)? But I have 3 vials of Test and will only use a little over 2 bottles for this cycle, so I figured a little frontload won't hurt.
Thanks for the reply
I think you don't have your doses and ancillaries set up correctly. it also sounds like you are going to be likely to get carried away and perhaps shouldn't be using these drugs. there are plenty of threads on here with the newbie cycle layout and youre clearly not following it. not sure if its because you didn't do your research or you think youre an exception. either one = bad news for you
Hey man, thanks for the advice, first off, I had my post formatted poorly and my Adex was in my pct on accident. I fixed some things. Anyway, I'll say what my line of thought was for the above,
Is pinning twice/6 days compared to twice/7 days gonna change much? I don't think it will but I don't know. With regards to ancillaries,
I've seen quite a few people recommend HCG run near the end of the cycle before PCT as opposed to the whole cycle because of estrogen conversion among other things.
With regards to the AI, I'm a little unsure I admit. But I've read many stories of people crashing their E2 by dosing at the beginning and saw veterans recommend getting bloods to measure E2 levels first.
Above all though, if something I'm saying is just clearly wrong or ill informed, please let me know because I want to put my health above my pride and just want a good cycle. Thanks!
check out this link, it will contain all the basic info you need, review it to figure out your ancillary situation.

as far as the 575 mg dose, I would cut back to 500 mg. I say that extra 75 mg will be more likely to give you unwanted side than it will be to give you any added benefits. its easy to get carried away, especially for new guys. From my experience, even 500 is a hefty dose in the beginning. youre young and haven't used androgens before (I assure) therefore you have limited androgen receptors based on these facts. extra test floating around without an androgen receptor site to attach to will just get converted into something else which will increase unwanted side effects.
Everyone makes mistakes along the way of steroid use, myself included. the goal is to learn from others mistakes and avoid doing them yourself.
edit; just for clarification, I'm not condoning your usage. it sounds like it may not be the best but I'm providing you this info in order for you to learn.
there hasn't been much talk about your diet. you're very under on calories. you should be around 4k for bulking that goes for on Cycle or not
Very interesting, didn't think about my possible lack of androgen receptors (comparatively). What do you think is better, 250mg every 3/4 days or like 200mg E3D? I used a graph to calculate blood concentration and E3D dosing schedule produced much steadier blood levels it seemed.
Also I read your link, so you think I should begin the AI week 4? I believe that is what was stated
if you want me direct and honest opinion... you should scrap the cycle now. do a pct and cut a few percent off your body fat. focus on learning and planning how to cycle correctly and nailing down your diet for the next year and then revisit this concept then. you will yield much better results that way and minimize damage.
it reminds me of the saying, failing to preparing is preparing to fail. I'm not trying to be a jerk but you entered this without a solid plan to execute so you will be struggling through a lot for this cycle trying to get everything into place and youbwill finish it unsatisfied most likely anyways.
you're considered an adult and can make your own choices. this is just my view.
I do have to admit though, I appreciate your attitude so far and willingness to take constructive critisism?
Richard.SimmonsKarma is earned if you would like I can Neg you 2??
Contribute and you should have No problems earning Karma. Have a goodone and welcome.
Thats okay ill pass on the neg2
seriously though, sorry about that, wasnt really thinking. thanks for the reply man
bump, any advice you guys got? i wanna do this thing right!!
btw, eating 3300 cal/day until i feel it kick in a bit more, then ill bump cals to 3500 and assess how i feel
3500 cals is still to low. How are you coming up with these numbers?
Yeah you and Shiva are totally right, I'm going to bump up calories to 4k and see how I feel. What do you think?
Calculate your TDEE first and then bump that up at least 500 or 750 cals if on cycle. I wouldn't start a bulking cycle at your current bodyfat though or you are going to be gaining more fat than you would like. Drop it down to at least 10-12% before starting cycle.
