I've been lurking on the board/site for well over two years now. Didn't actually register until last year. Always doing research, if I don't know or don't understand why, or how, to properly put something in my system, I won't. I'm big science fan so any kind of research about compounds and chemicals is a huge consumer of my time.
I'm 28, have 5 cycles under my belt. First one was back in '05 with a straight Test E cycle ran at a mere 300 mg/week. Massive gains for what I was doing, and not understanding or knowing. I'll admit, I wasn't the smartest one at that point. Didn't do another cycle until 4 years ago. Did another straight Test E cycle then. Third was a Test E/Deca cycle. Wasn't a fan of the Deca, I must admit. I felt bloated most of the time, probably because I was still working on my diet. Fourth cycle was Test E/Tren E. I loved it. Ran low test and high tren (500 mg/w), got a friend with a sports nutrition degree to help me with my diet and had the best results I have ever experienced. All my dress shirts couldn't be buttoned at my neck, chest got bigger, everything exploded, had very few sides other than the obvious night sweats, and a few friends from work were really impressed with how much lean muscle I managed to put on. 75% of that came from the change in diet. After that cycle I finally realized the importance of proper diet and the difference it made from having a diet that is on point and dialed in versus trying to wing it and not fully understanding how my body reacted to what I was eating. My fifth cycle was Test E/Tren E (again) with an oral DBol kicker for two weeks in the beginning. That DBol was a mistake. Made me super bloated and I actually managed to get an umbilical hernia about 4 weeks in somehow and had to cut it short. This was back in October of 2013 and had surgery to repair it shortly after. Sucks, but, live and learn.
I've been working on rebuilding my strength that I lost from having to take two and a half months off thanks to surgery and it's going slowly but steadily. Got most of my strength back to were it was pre-surgery and I'm holding steady. I'm looking forward to doing another cycle here in the future and I'll add anything I can to the community, that I have knowledge on.
