I am currently on my 8th week of my second cycle. My first cycle was a nightmare. I had no idea what I was doing and just went for it trusting a friend that knew about as much as me. And from that cycle my recovery was extremely hard. I did A lot of research for my second cycle and asked a lot of questions to some vets on this site and got some really good feedback. They also gave me some shit but it was much needed and i don't take that to heart like a little bitch. If any newbies out there are worried to ask questions or put themselves out there for fear of what someone might say to you, than maybe your to much of a bitch to be here in the first place. Anyway My second cycle im doing a simple 12wk run with test e. I did 2wk kicker of test prop. I have been taking my AI (Aromasin) since wk 4.EOD. And have my pct (nolva,clomid) in hand for when I am done with my cycle. Starting 15 days after my last shot. This cycle so far has been just what I needed. I have been keeping a clean diet and I feel better than ever. My gains are not insane, but are very apparent. And I haven't turned into the hulk. But my strength has increased and I have put on healthy LEAN muscle. I have stayed very lean and have not had any problems with bloating or water retention. Wich was a problem on my first cycle. Now I understand a lot more about these compounds and the importance of AI and PCT and diet. When before I just thought I should pin a bunch of stuff and get huge. And all that did was a lot of damage. I am so glad i have found this site and know that if i ever have any questions or concerns there are many people out there willing to help. So for any of you newbies. Please try and do things the right way and don't be in a hurry.
