Week 1: 400mg Deca, 250mg Omna
Week 2: 400mg Deca, 250mg Omna
Week 3: 400mg Deca, 500mg Omna
Week 4: 400mg Deca, 500mg Omna
Week 5: 400mg Deca, 500mg Omna
Week 6: 300mg Deca, 300mg winstrol depot orally
Week 7: 300mg winstrol depot orally

I added nolvadex in week 6 and 7 due to onset of gyno.

This last week was weird. I actually lost a couple of pounds. I'm thinking that it was mostly just water weight due to a combination of the nolvadex and the cessation of the Omna and Deca.
Also, my eating was not all it could have been and I got sick later in the week. As far as the whole cycle goes though, I finished up 19.5 lbs. I'll take it.

I am not going to continue to eat like a pig to try and keep my gains. I have a fairly high body
fat percentage right now so it's got to come off. I hate being fat! So I am going to ease myself into a diet immediately.

So, what WOULD I have done differently?
1) Checked my nipples more often to see if they were swelling
2) Had nolvadex on hand before I started the cycle.

What WOULD I HAVE LIKED to have done differently?
1) It would have been nice to have someone else inject me. I find it difficult to reach
around and inject with only one hand. It is hard to aspirate and control the needle and
see what the hell you are doing (for glutes). But when no one else knows, your hands are tied so to speak.
2) I would have liked to start my cycle with low bodyfat. I will do this before I do another cycle.

Overall my feelings toward this cycle are ambivalent. I put on a good amount of weight but because of my bodyfat
I don't look that great, although I look bigger with clothes on. I gained quite a bit of strength, which makes me
happy but the heavy weights seemed to take its toll on my joints. I was pleased with the lack of hairloss, I really
expected that to be an issue for me. I was unhappy that I seemed to be developing gyno on such a small amount of test.
I didn't expect that injections would present any problems as I am not afraid of needles. But with all the bleeding I experience when injecting I do not look forward to them anymore. At least my ass doesn't.

I will probably do another cycle at some point. I think I will try an even shorter cycle with non-aromatizing drugs.
Probably something along the lines of a Primo/Deca/Winny cycle about 4 weeks in length. I think this may work well for
me since I seemed to gain the most in the first 4 weeks and started to notice more side effects in the later weeks with little gains. Therefore, on a risk to benefit ratio I think
a short cycle will work well for ME. I can only try and see. I know this won't make me the next Mr. Olympia but that was never my goal anyway.

Post cycle I will continue with clomid and initiate tribulus and creatine.

The puffiness in my nipples has subsided a good amount but I will have to wait until I get my bodyfat down to see if there is any real damage (gyno).

Thanks to all you bro's who took an interest and helped me out with this cycle.

You're up in weight, but i'm not to happy you seem to be set off test, i guess you'll have to try other things and see if you like them, but i think you would have made nice gains if you'd completed your cycle and had done the clomid.
