It has been 6 weeks since I started taking GH at 2 IU PM and 2 weeks since I started taking Test at 250 a week and Anavar at 30mg a day.
My starting weight at the start of this log was 197lbs with BW fluctuating 1-2lbs daily due to hydration mostly. At that time I was dealing with lack of sleep, poor energy and loss of motivation and those were the primary reasons why I started this log. Ever since I started logging I made a conscious decision to focus on my health and wellbeing, both physical and mental and the results have been nothing less then incredible so bear with me.
Initially once I started taking GH I was taking it in the morning, but noticed that I was getting sleepy throughout the day and a couple of days in I decided to change it to night time before bed. That change improved my sleep quality drastically, with the effort of actually sleeping more and chaining my schedule my body started to heal and I could feel it.
Once I started taking GH my IGF1 levels were at around 250, but after 3 weeks on 2IU the IGF1 level went up to 400. nails started growing faster, hair as well, skin improved slightly as my body started to hold a little more water and weight quickly bounced to 204lbs. My goal based on the research that I did is to get my IGF1 levels around 550 which is a supra physiological level and in order to do that I have been taking 3IU of GH in the last week.
So far I have noticed no negative effects, I do feel the need to sleep more in the night, but that might be due to the extensive workouts that I have been doing in the last month.
As far as the Test E and Anavar, the first 2 weeks so far have been interesting for sure. I did start Test at 250 a week splitting it into two doses. 125 each, first three pins I did SubQ and did not have any issues except for small lumps under skin that would linger on for a couple of days, no pain. I finally took the courage to do a IM injection yesterday, must admit I stared at the needle for 5 minutes and sweated profusely to get myself to pin, but did it and it was painless, absolutely no pain, a little soreness today in site but nothing too crazy, I have felt the same when I had gotten shots in my glutes when going to the hospital as a kid.
What I did notice ever since I started the test is my sex drive increasing exponentially, a much better and calm feeling in my day to day, almost like a confidence that just radiates, nothing too crazy but there is definitely a change in my presence and how I conduct myself, I just feel more sure and more confident overall. What I did notice is the added water weight, muscles feel fuller and bigger and skin is thicker.
I did a sperm test 10 days in and my results came back normal, swimmers swimming fine, but I expect that to drop as I go deeper in the cycle.
So far I have no signs of estrogen sky rocketing, no sensitive nipples, no acne outbreak, no nothing, but will be doing a blood test next week just to see where things are at.
Anavar - First 10 days I did 30 mg a day, with 20mg before workout SubL and 10mg at night. Did increase to 40mg in the last 3 days, 20mg before workout, 20 mg at night, I'm planning on staying on that dose and monitoring progress, potentially going up to 50 mg in week 4. What I have noticed so far is improved vascularity, better pumps, better connection with the muscular contraction, simply put I can easily direct the stimulation into the muscles I am trying to target. Strength has increased by 5-10%, which in this short duration is incredible.
It is hard to separate what compound does what, Test or Anavar, but I do feel like they are working together and with GH I do think it is an incredible stack so far.
Now for the big update: Weight as of this morning is 217lbs, I have inflated like a balloon with no increase in my waist size at all, my wedding ring doesn't fit anymore, some of my watches don't fit anymore. The first week on test and anavar I would go to bed at 208, wake up in the morning at 209, a couple of days later I would be 212, just this weekend I was 214, and today 217lbs. Just to mention I am fully aware that it is water, but still size, because first comes water and glycogen then comes tissue. At this rate I do not know what to expect, barely 2 weeks Into the cycle and still have 10 to go, potentially 12, so I am keeping myself grounded and fully aware of the process.
Still meal prepping every Sunday with macros currently sitting at : Carbs 400 grams, Protein 300-320 grams, fat at 110 grams.
Will keep you posted gents, I will be taking some good quality photos this week to post, will be posting my blood work next week as well.
Although I cannot post every single day, my day to day activities currently are crazy, I am on track with all my meals from my meal prep, all the supplements, sleep, hydration and everything is optimized.
As always, stay safe, stay strong !
