cycle day 1 2jan 2024 physique: https://imgur.com/a/dDzbJ3B

History: weightlifited for 3 months in jan 2021, stopped , resumed weightlifting in september 28th for another 3 months till now.

Cycle: 500mg/week for 16 weeks Testosterone Enanthate from UGFREAK
Age: 23
Weight 76kg
Body fat 11-14% (body fat calculators show me at 10% with 16 inch neck and 30 inch waist and 39 inch hips)
Height: 6'1
Syringe and needle size: 26G drawing 27G 1/2 inch for pinning.... 23g and 18gnot used cuz wastage is too much.https://imgur.com/a/GjB0nBz

So the goal of this cycle is to get to 50-70% of my genetic limit (for muscle growth, more info here: https://imgur.com/a/9v7HopG) so that my 2nd and last ever cycle of 500mg test + x mg deca + x mg dbol will ttake me to 80-95% of my genetic limit and that will plenty of muscle...

Why am I in such a hurry to build muscle? 1. Im stupid 2. Addicted to transforming myself financially, physically, and mentally.as soon as possible with little to no risk in addition to 15 hour workdays . 3. dont think two cycles in a lifetime will cause too much harm, granted i regularly get bloodwork

So I've decided to pin 72mg daily which is about 500mg a week for 16 weeks

Daily pinning is so that I can get a better SHBG level which in turn will allow my body to have a lot more free test. plus my estrogen levels will also look a lot better as the body will find it quite toxic to manage a 250mg testosterone injection. I dont exactly know how terribly I aromatize so therefore its best to pin daily or E5D.

The main purpose of my cycle management is to AVOID AI AT ALL COSTS

AIs are extremely neurotoxic, the body needs the aromatase enzyme to convert the test. or else it can cause numerous issues.

Of course I do have AI next to me incase itchy nips or other Gyno symptoms pop up but I would like to avoid AI use altogether, as nuking estrogen levels is what leads to acne, depression, maybe hair loss and a lot more BS.... want to keep estrogen and test as high as possible concurrently

Bloodwork was done prior to this cycle and lo and behold my test is dogshit at just 294 ng/DL and my estrogen is at 49 pg/ml

Garbage levels. Rest everything is in range average, nothing to worry about.

Workout routine :

Chest and side delts- 15 degree incline DB bench press, lateral raises
Back, Real delt, and Abs - Single arm DB rows, Lat pulldown, U raises, standing cable ab crunches, DB captains arm chair leg raises, crunches till failure.
Arms - skullcrushers (elbow in place, ez bar below head till lockout), bicep curls, Standing alternating DB bicep curl, reverse curls, light forearm exercises
Rest
Chest
Back

Yes, I dont train legs, I have a genetic condition wherein my leg joins are severely weakened to the point I did have paralyzed legs when waking up for a few minutes upto an hour.

Training style - Reverse pyramid:

1st set: Pick a weight that you will go to failure with at 8th rep
2nd set: decrease and pick the weight that you will go to failure with at 10th rep
3rd set: decrease and pick a weight that you will go to failure with at 12th rep

Records:

DB bench press: 25kg (one hand) x 14 reps
Skullcrusher: 30 kg x 12 reps
DB single arm Bicep curl: 17.5 kg x 4 reps
Lateral raises - 10 kg x 12 reps

P.S im on day 4 of the cycle: the PIP injection site glutes DOMS is killing me, imma let my body get used to the test and also let the doms recover, 300 mg for 1st week is plenty fk this. will pin again next week i guess.

And somehow i dont know what the fuck happened but the Test somehow cured my GERD/ulcer/IBS, idk what it was, i had an endoscopy scheduled after a month or two of pain and PPIs but nothing worked... 3 days of test and no more pain after eating food. before this all there was, was middle stomach pain for an hour or two. took esomeprazole twice a day an hour before eating, slightly helped but pain never went away.... on day 3 of cycle and after pinning 144mg test in two days, all the pain is gone, my belching is perfect for the last 48 hours, zero pain what the actual fuck, i didnt know testosterone could cure digestive issues, ill still get the endoscopy and visit gastro doctor but fucking hell thank you steroids for curing this very bothersome pain... i coudlnt fucking eat lunch without feeling pain a few minutes after, .... the only issue with this cycle is the Glutes DOMS... it pains like crazy a day after pinning when walking or leaving my chair.... please help T_T

I think 300mg first week is enough, let body get used to the new levels and let the DOMS glutes recover for the next 3 days... the DOMS will decrease next week for sure because the virgin muscle is no longer new to injections... 72 mg shouldnt pain so much fucking hell

day 3 was quite a massive PR, i never felt so strong the 25KG DB for my incline bench press was an immovable object and a target i needed to squash but just could not ever do it. was truly a dream come true when i hit it on day 3 of the cycle. plus im sleeping 9-12 hours a day on test... this never happened before... feel a lot better too. the test is really working but of course its not going to really hit until week4 or week6. all in all really enjoying the cycle thus far, DOMS is manageable, quite common from what ive heard from my ifbb type bodybuilder friends. its not as bad, im quite pussy so yes
