Starting First Cycle Test Only

[cy23]

Well I am starting my first cycle today. The only thing I can get my hands on is test prop so I am just going to run it by itself. I was thinking 150 mg EOD, so around 525 mg per week. I was curious if anyone could give me an idea of what kind of results I should expect.

Stats-

height 6'2
weight 212.2 pounds after wake up in boxers

training about six years and started at about 135 pounds.

Squat- 375x5 so estimated 440
Front Squat- 365
Deadlift- 565
Bench- 345


I stay pretty lean even on high calories and will be taking in about 5500 a day and about 250-300 grams of protein.

I am only training 3 days a week using a modified Bill Starr 5x5 as I am more concerned with strength and body weight than looking pretty.

I was just curious as to what kind of strength gains could be expected on 525 mg of test a week. If you factor ester weight it is the equivalent of around 600 mg enanthate. I just want to keep it simple this time around. I have access to all the ancillary drugs I need for pct also.

Also how long until I start to feel the test kicking in?

u will feel it after the 1st week, strength and weight wise. i would say 150 EOD is too much for 1st time, 250mg per week is plenty for 1st time. I grew 20 pounds on 250mg per week for 10 weeks on test-e. Good luck bro

That's what everyone keeps telling so I am going to take 75 mg eod which puts me around 260 mg every week. I was thinking 12 weeks?

Weight - 216.6 pounds (+4.4)

So I am already up almost five pounds in 4 days. Nipples are a little itchy every once in a while but that's about it. I also noticed I am a lot more drowsy during the day which I thought was weird because my friend said he gets wired after he shoots test. Normal?

I have not trained hard for a few months and wanted to test my one rep max for every exercise instead of listing my all time PR's like I did in my first post.

Dead lift - 480 Pounds
Back Squat - 325 Pounds
Bench - 290 Pounds
Front Squat - 315 Pounds
Push Press - 205 Pounds
Incline Press - 205 Pounds

I spent my entire last workout trying to determine my maxes.

Today I just did deadlifts.

Warm up - 135 x 10
225 x 6
315 x 3

350 x 5
375 x 5
400 x 5
415 x 5

Here is a pic from that day. I feel very full and vascular today. I had a little more aggression while lifting which was nice.

Front squat - 135 x 10
Back squat
185 x 5
220 x 5
235 x 5

Lower back is still a little fatigued from yesterdays deads.

Incline Press
135 x 10
145 x 4
175 x 3
195 x 5
195 x 5

135 x 5

I am gaining weight very easily at this point and not really putting any fat on. I don't really notice any extra water weight. Before I started my cycle I had to work a lot harder to gain a few pounds compared to now. Everyday I am heavier which is great.

So today I took my fourth shot of test an when I pulled back a bunch of blood filled my rig. I just trashed it and started over. Is it a must to aspirate?

 

[2DIEZEL]

Technically yes you should aspirate to be safe........But to be honest i have never aspirated in the 10 years i have been using AAS.

 

[cy23]

Yeah, my buddy is in med school and told me today he does not aspirate and just to make sure there are no bubbles. I would rather be safe than sorry but how often am I going to be drawing blood? I cant afford to be throwing gear away every few days. I use a 1.5 inch needle, 25 gauge and my first three shots were perfect. Today I saw a ton of black blood and it freaked me out a little.

Weight - 221.6 pounds (+9.4)

My weight is increasing dramatically. I am only taking 350 mg test a week right now an it feels amazing. I am putting on a pound a day almost. I am glad I built a good natural base before I started to cycle because now I feel like I can really put on some serious weight. My nips seem to be doing ok just a bit itchy. I also have noticed I am holding more water. I am looking a bit softer. I don't really give a shit though. Here are some pictures from this morning.
