21 y/o's first cycle: started Sept. 30th

[rickysim123]

Hello all, as seen in my previous post, ive now started my cycle, and will begin to start posing my experience.

Its my first cycle:

500mg test e per week
aromasin 12.5mg eod (will adjust as needed)

10 weeks most likely, may extend to 12.

Anyhow, I'm not looking for cycle advice, just letting you all know how it goes.

21 y/o, 180lb, 5'9. just did my first bodybuilding show in july and want to take it to the next level.

Sept 30th: first pin.

-Needle was a little shaky and had to pin twice (vein the first pin when aspirating), but overall, could barely feel it, and went in slowly/smoothly.
Its been a few days, but ive had a little bit of pain in the upper glute but nothing restricting, just a little soreness. yesterday was the worst, gotten better today. Ive noticed my skin to feel a bit more oily than normal today (idk if its from the test or not), but im not usually one to get any acne, had a little bit on my forehead today. I trained yesterday and had a good workout. I noticed that my muscles felt shaky, but again, not sure if it was the test or not.

My second pin will be tomorrow morning, will train legs as well tomorrow.

Some PIP is normal for a new injection site. Here are some tips for reducing PIP:

1. Heat up the oil prior to injecting. Run the vial under hot water for 1-2 minutes. Heating up the oil will bring it closer to body temperature and make the oil disperse from the muscle into the blood stream much easier.

2. Gently massage the injection site for 1-2 minutes after the injection. It'll help disperse the oil into the blood stream.

3. I am a big advocate of training the muscle you injected into that day. It'll help disperse the oil from the muscle into the blood stream. In other words, try to time your glute injection on the day you train legs/glutes.

You have a good, simple first cycle laid out. Train hard and eat well and you will grow like a weed. The last bit of advice I will give you is don't cut corners when it comes to your PCT. Remember it's not just about what you gain on cycle, it's about what you KEEP off cycle. I recommend following the perfect PCT protocol after your cycle: http://www.evolutionary.org/the-perfect-post-cycle-therapy-pct/

Remember test e takes awhile to kick in. Just be patient and in a few weeks you should start to feel it and start killing it at the gym.

Exactly, the next 4 weeks is going to feel like a lifetime

You are in for a good run. The effects will start increasing literally until you reach peak blood hormone levels after around 4-5 weeks after starting.

Around 2 weeks in you will really start to notice the effects of the increased testosterone in your blood stream, and then it's all up hill from there.

shaky hands will cause PIP plus virgin muscle.

I still hate injecting to this day.

 

[rickysim123]

This morning had second inj. Less shaky but still a little bit. It's so hard to hold it steady/aspirate/inj super slow in glute

October 3rd (2nd pin)
This morning I had my second shot and will be training legs today. my ass is sore so hopefully this loosens everything up!
As stated, shot was shaky but much better than the first (considering i did this one with left hand).
Still experiencing very oily skin which is not normal for me, but not too much acne. I have been keeping on top of that to
avoid getting any more.

For all wondering on my split for the week: I take off m/w, friday is optional. I do not have a set schedule for what i do, but this week it was:

Saturday: legs
Sunday: chest and bis
Tuesday: shoulders
Thursday: back and tris
Friday: off
Saturday: legs

I typically hit calves everyday that i train, and do anywhere from 15-20 min of cardio on stairclimber.
I dont count macros, but my average day is about 200p/200c/fats vary.
