My First Cycle - Test Cyp. & HCG

[paz130]

Hey dudes, I been reading alot of this threads and after reading Brandonp005s thread I thought it would be a good idea to do my own so I can be kept accountable as well as get good feed back from veterans. I started my first cycle of Test Cyp. on Monday (5-18-09)! The first shot was a breeze. My ass was sore for the first two days, but today it feels fine. Before I decided to do a cycle I'de been lifting for most of my life (was a wrestler in HS) and have been lifting seriously for about 3 yrs. I did as much research as I could and read everything I could and decided to do a Test only cycle to see how I would handle it.

My Cycle:
Weeks 1-12 Test Cyp @ 400mg/wk (split in half Monday night & Thursday night)
Weeks 3-12 HCG @ 250iu/E4D
Weeks 7-12 Beastdrol @ 3cap/ED
Two weeks after last Test Cyp shot - PCT (Nolvadex 20mg/ED for 3 wks)

Current Stats:
28 yrs old
5' 6"
153 lbs
9% BF

Measurements (not flexing, b/f workout):
Waist (@ bellybutton): 31.5"
Biceps: 13.5"
Forearms: 11.5"
Chest: 39"
Quads: 21.5"
Calves: 12.5"
As you can tell no matter what I do I can get rid of the chicken legs

Supplements:
Multivitamin
BCAAs
Glutamine
Flax Seed Oil
Whey Protein
Casein Protein
N.O. Supplement
Waximaize (carb product)

My Diet (its pretty clean, I'm kind of a health nut)
Breakfast (7:30am)
2 packets of flavored oatmeal
5-8 egg whites (I buy it by the gallon)
Glass of OJ

Snack (10:00am)
Whey Protein Shake (2 scoops)
Banana
Massive handful of Almonds

Lunch (12:30)
2 -3 Chicken Breasts
1 cup of brown rice

Snack (3:00pm)
Better Protein Bar

Pre-Workout (6:00pm)
Tuna (new packages, not canned, about 3 servings

After Workout
Whey Protein Shake (2 scoops) w/ Waximaize (2 scoops)

Dinner (8:30pm)
Lean, High Protein Meal (usually made w/ extra lean ground turkey or chicken)

Before Bed (10:30pm)
Casein Shake (2 scoops)

That gives you an idea of what I'm taking everyday. I'll update you with my workout schedule next time. This week is a bit different b/c I'm taking a ice hockey/skating class to help improve my speed so I'm taking my first 4 day break of lifting. I was going to take all week but I'm too excited about this cycle so I'm going to go straight to the gym on Friday!!

I'll post some pics later this week when I get a chance to up load them!

I'm glad I could be of some inspiration. I like your cycle bro. Your going to love the Beastdrol bro. Let me tell you, when that shit kicks in, you'll know it!

Also bro, at your weight, I assume your looking to put on some weight? If so, throw in some red meat. Cuts of select sirloin are great. You can get them at a nice price and they are one of the leanest cuts for the price.

Sorry I didn't get back to you all sooner, but it was a crazy long weekend. However I did manage to get to the gym on Friday to get my max lifts. I also got to the gym on Saturday and did a crazy strong delt workout (don't know if it was the test or just the excitement but I felt strong and had tons of energy). I took my second shot on Thursday night (5/21/09) and my third shot last night. I can't wait for his shit to really kick in.

To answer the question about the HCG....I did some research on where to give the injection and the what I found was either SubQ in the stomach about 6 inches from the navel in any direction (pinch the skin and inject at a 45 degree) or IM in the ass. But since I'm already injecting the test in my ass I didn't want to do it there so I think I'll stick with the stomache. Thanks for the advice!!

Also I was wondering since I take the test twice a week can I just switch of cheeks or do I need to inject it in my thigh?
Also when I take the Beastdrol, do you suggest using it at the beginning of a cycle or the end? Do you take all 3 pills at once or split them up throughout the day (breakfast/lunch/dinner)?

Thanks for the advice about the red meat, cause as you can tell by my pics I want to bulk up for sure!

I wanted to post my max lifts from Friday as well as my workout on Monday.

Bench - 225 lbs x 1
Squat - 235 lbs x 1
Deadlift - 275 lbs x 1

I was actually suprised by the numbers because I don't do any of these lifts that often. I ususally use dumbbells for my chest because I can target it better. As for squats I've just started incorperating them in more often then I use to. As for deadlift, in the past it has hurt my back but now that I have the correct form I don't jerk as much
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Workout Split (just switched this up)
Monday: Chest & Biceps
Tuesday: Quads, Hams, & Calves
Wednesday: Off (Cardio 45mins)
Thursday: Back (includes Traps)
Friday: Delts (includes rear delts use to do them on back day) & Triceps
Saturday: Off
Sunday: Off (usually have a Hockey Game)
