I would imagine to jumpstart his levels before the long esthers kick in

I don't understand why people are pushing dbol for a first cycle so much. Dbol should be saved for future cycles when you need a better bang for your buck. I did not use it until my 4th cycle and I am glad I held off. Newbies can grow off anything if they eat right and train hard and get rest. inkman

Just be cause it's my first cycle. I didn't want to run to many compounds at once.

Third shot yesterday. I decided to give mixing the compounds one more try. I took my time and drew slower this time and things went a bit smoother. I also ran the dart under hot water for a few seconds before shooting. My wife said this made it easier to inject with the small pin. Everything still going fine but I can’t wait to start seeing some results. I’m up 2 pounds but that is due to the fact that I’m eating everything I see. I though my wife going to kill me this weekend as we were driving down the road and I’m going,” What time is it? I have to find someplace to get some food I haven’t eaten in 2 ½ hours.”

Keep up the good work bro, once you get used to mixing the compounds it's no problem.

Keep on eating ! I have not done as well as you on the eating, been drinking alot of shakes.

You will start to see solid gains soon.

I would like to see your workout schedule and diet. I am not sure what you are doing wrong but 179lbs and lifting for 10 years...I am not sure anaboilcs are the only answer, I think your diet and training are the answer.

Many people on this board know me personally and can attest to the fact that I'm a true hard gainer. Over the holidays my diet and training slipped a bit and I actually lost 10 lbs.

True. You've got an insane metabolism. I think you started your first cycle at a good point based on your history. It'll take a while for you to see results from what you're running but it's gonna kick in and I think you'll be pleased. I know you're disciplined and will do what it takes to make the gains you want.

OK Bro your 12% bf and you say you cannot keep the pounds on. Are you lifting real heavy? I do a workout kind of like Yates (but lower weight lol). I also lift twice a day. I always hear people say "I can't gain weight". Thats bullshit, eat more than you burn and you will gain weight. Some just need more calories than others. Good luck.

[The_Jarhead]

Ok thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind.

Ok it's been a while since I've posted anything in here.

Today is half way through week 5.

Things are going great. I'm feeling a lot harder all over. Strength is going up nicely but I have to slow down on upping the poundage in some areas I have an old shoulder injury that is giving me problems under the strain of heavy weight.

I feel like I’m eating not stop. It’s hard to eat 4,000+ calories a day and stay fairly clean. Every once in a while I have cheat day where I just take a break from eating all day.

I had a few people notice I’m getting bigger. The only side I’ve seen is my skin is really oily and I sweat like a whore in church while I’m sleeping. I’ve been showering often and being sure to exfoliate to keep from breaking out. Doing good so far.

Shot have been going fine I started rotating to give my ass a rest after 2 shots a week for 3 week. I did delts and had no problems and I did quads. I did have and issue the first time I quads. I shot way to low and I could feel the oil seep down in to my knee. Hurt like a motherfucker for a about 3 or 4 days. I took a few pics last week and I can a bit of difference totally relaxed but flexed is like looking at someone else. Once I get some sun I take some new pics and post them up.

I also decided to extent me cycle from 12 weeks to 19 since I’ll be going on vacation right after that. I figured instead of traveling while coming off. I’ll just extend it out so my last shot is the day before I leave. That way I’ll still be full of test for my naked vacation in Jamaica.
I’m going to be adding a 7-day run of HCG week 10 and 19 before I leave for Jamaica so the boys come back to size.

OK that was long enough. I’ll post more later.

Great post. Very informative!

[ginseng]

Good thread. I'm still researching and look forward to seeing more of your updates and results.

I'm sure I'll really see a change next time I see ya !
