My first cycle, Need some answers!

201lbs

24yrs old

So, I started my first cylce 2 weeks ago! Decided I would run just Test for my first time to see how my body reacts, didnt want to get to crazy. I am running Sust. 350mg, 700mg a week divided into 2 separate injections. I just started an Anti E, cannot think of the name for the life of me, not sure why I didnt start it right away. Ive put on 5-6 pounds so far im assuming water. I am having a couple issues 1. Feeling short of breath 2. Nose bleeds. No other side affects at this time other than knots on my glute after injection. Ive woke up to 2 nose bleeds 1 day apart and it was jjst recently. Before my cycle I had my BP checked and its was 128/74, checked it the other day and it was 144/76. Resting HR is 75-85. It is a bit high and I expected that to happen. I read on these forums a lot but everything I seem to find about sust. nose bleeds and shortness of breath is a few years old to a decade. My diet is well, obviously not perfect. I avoid sodium and eat clean. Im going to say I lack in carb intake at times and probably do not eat as much as I should. Basically this Nose bleed and shortness of breath had me a little on edge! Any suggestions or words of encouragement would be GREAT! Ive been waiting a long time to do this andI dont want to give up on it yet!

My first cycle

Hey guys, so here is my story.



I am 20 years old and currently on my first cycle( I know I am young and stuff you don't have to tell me , I have done my research and decided to go forth). My first cycle is 400 mg test-e /week for 16 weeks. Currently on my 12th week. So I have been prepping up for a show which is in April, but I really didn't time my cycle right because my cycle finishes on the 12th of February , leaving me at 7 weeks off cycle before the show. My coaches suggested that I extend my cycle 5.5 weeks and take winnie to cut down. Problem is I don't want to extend my cycle because I know I am already young, and I don't want to mess up my endocrine system, leaving me with problems or possible TRT (Even with proper PCT) because screwed up my hormones. So my question is, Should I go forth with the show? Because if I do, that means I can't eat more or train heavier off cycle because I'm cutting down so I will probably lose all my gains I have made, Put on about 14 lbs so far. My coach said I would probably weigh in at 155 on stage. I am currently 180 5'6 and pretty lean at the moment.



Suggestions?

My first cycle

Okay so I have just hit week 5 of my first cycle, and boy has it been a rollercoaster of stress and emotions.

Lesson 1 - PLAN, PREPARE AND EXECUTE.



So I decided about 9 weeks ago I wanted to run a cycle and went online to find some information and stumbled upon JohnDoeBodybuilding which made it seem VERY simple for a beginner - the 1 vial beginner cycle. I was sure I wanted to do this, read up on PCT, and went to the guy at the supplement store to organize me some Test C or E.



This is where I went wrong, I was speaking to the guy and he explained to me it takes 4 weeks to start to see results in Cypronite, and to rather do Test Prop, quicker results and shorter cycle life - 8 weeks.



I was sold, and believed him. He wrote me up my schedule - Pin twice a week on 0.5ml for 4 weeks then up to 1ml and it should last me 7 weeks. Cheap easy simple.



MISTAKE 1 - NOT DOING MY RESEARCH ON PROP



After 1 week I barely felt anything, I actually got freaked out from the PIP on my left glute and went online to seek advice and explained my cycle. I got lambasted by all corners about TITRATING my dosage and that I HAD to pin EOD.



My ego was bruised and I was so annoyed at myself for lack of preparation but one guy helped me out, said listen don't panic, up the dose to 1ml and pin MWF, this beign midway through WEEK2.



NEWBIE ADVICE: PROP WORKS VERY WELL and quickly BUT Be prepared for a bit of pain and pinning MIN 3 times a week. THE PIP is awful at the beginning especially on VIRGIN sites. For the first 2/3 weeks I could barely do squats. Would NOT recommend for first cycle.



NEWBIE ADVICE 2: My biggest fear was that of getting AIR into my muscle or hitting a vein and having chunks of my ass cut out so I have used nurses to pin. Yes I know its expensive but it has helped me immensely. Going to start pinning myself from next week.



WEEK 2 RECAP: I went from 0.5ml to 0.75 to 1ml on WEDNESDAY 3 dec, I could feel the effect of PROP. I started feeling ALPHA. Your gym sessions are heightened, your confidence too and your agro.



Week 3 : I only started Week 3 on the 8th DEC missing a pin inbetween. This was done for 2 reasons - 1 I was driving cross country. 2- My wednesday pin got swollen and slightly infected. Sitting on my ass for 8-10 hours driving made it swell up so badly. DONT PANIC. Take some anti inflammatory and anti hystamine. If it DOESNT go down then go see a doc.



Week 3 - PROGRESS WEEK. I started to see REAL GAINS here! I cut my deficit diet and starting eating higher than my TDE but cleaner foods. My shoulders swolled, biceps, tricpes and back. Loving the effects of PROP!



Week 4 - I learn to do MATHS.



I went to Pin M on week 4 and my Vial looks barley full! I freak out as I thought it leaked but after counting up my pins I realized I had used up 6.25ml plus the 1 that day and had barely 3ml LEFT. I tried contacting everybody and anybody and nobody could help. One website tried to sell me it via airmail but after doing my homework I realized they really don't have a great succss rate.



I accepted my fate and cut my dosage down to 0.75 for the week. I immediately felt the impact, I wasn't alpha anymore. I was tired, lethargic etc..



Week 4 I learnt about TNATION and thanks to ALOT of advice from eatmorefood - top poster - I found out a way to continue my cycle.



I could only find 1AMP of SUST 100 where I am and 10ML OF cyp. So I made the switch in Week 5 to CYP.



Pin 1 - M - 0.25ml PROP + 1ML Cyp

Pin 2 - T - 1ml CYP + 1AMP Sust.

Pine 3 - T - coming up same as above.



Here is where I really learnt about long ester bonds, kickstarters and keeping my blood levels stable.



I regret I didn't plan my cycle better and keep enough PROP on me or just go with CYP but to survive you need to ADAPT or DIE.



I will keep posting about how its going.



PEACE OUT.

Hello guys I have been in my 8 weeks cycle with test prop, masteron and anavar but I haven't seen a huge improvement in mass gain, I eat healthy and do 5 meals a day. I am 41 years old but in good shape... Don't know if my age is playing a role for me not to gain enough mass. I thought I will be bigger by now...

My First Cycle

I am 27 years 6'2" 265lbs . November makes one year that I have lost 60lbs. I am about 26% body fat still. I want to run 10-12 weeks of Test stacked with Equipoise, followed by Nolvadex. I want to shred this body fat by doing intense cardio and lifting. I have always been an athlete, and my diet has been decent (I have lost 60 lbs). Do you think running this stack is the way to go? I would like to lose 5-10% body fat. I know it wont be instant and will take time, but am I going the correct route?



Please help me out.
