Taking the plunge - first cycle

[deestar]

the dbol works fast.. you will have monster workouts and once the test kicks in it will get even better.. i personally was going 6X a week.. and if my body needed an extra days rest i gave it. when you are a cycle you are gonna feel like a beast so its gonna be very interesting when you lift and what used to be heavy weight, is now light.. and you can work out and work out and work out and still want to work out.

as for cardio absolutely it needs to be done.. a simple 1 mile walk on the treadmill will do.. the pumps you are gonna get will make it difficult to run very much as i've stated before.. 1/2 mile and then you will feel a pump.

also keep in mind the bloating is necessary to provide lube and cushion for your joints. so dont fight it, just control it.

and finally make sure you are stocked up on protein bars and powder.. they are crucial in this situation.

Awesome, can't wait! I've noticed the last few months with the extra size I've put on that I walk a little differently...legs chafe together and it's quite irritating - I imagine that will only get worse. Small price to pay! I look forward to gain enough size so that I'll be forced to get some new clothes...currently everything still fits...barely. This cycle should push me over the edge pretty quick.

I promised I'd post my diet, here it is:

Meal 1:
1 cup liquid egg whites, scrambled with f/f cheese
1.5 cups oatmeal, 1 scoop whey, cinnamon, a few blueberries - stuck in blender (nasty)
1 bigass fatty poppyseed muffin (estimating ~400 cals)

Meal 2:
Banana
4oz chicken + 1 cup brown rice

Meal 3:
Low fat yogurt
4 oz chicken + 1 cup brown rice

Meal 4:
Low fat yogurt
1 can tuna, 1 cup brown rice, chopped celery

Meal 5:
Homemade burrito with whole grain wrap, 93% lean ground beef, f/f cheese, 1/2 cup brown rice, salsa
2 slices whole grain toast with peanut butter

*WORKOUT*

Meal 6:
2 scoops whey + 2 scoops waxy maize
1 banana

Meal 7:
2 scoops whey + 1 cup 2% milk
1 cup kashi go lean cereal (dry)

Same stuff, every day. My trainer recommended adding a healthy dose of coconut oil to a couple meals to bring the fat calories up to 20%, which I have yet to do (that recommendation was Tuesday, haven't made it to the store since). It works out to about 80g fat, 600g carbs, and 375g protein (without the coconut oil). Somehow, for the last 2 weeks my weight has remained steady at 200 even. I have no idea how, I feel like a pig.

Currently at two cheat meals per week. Supps consist of a multi and an N/O powder pre-workout. I can't wait for my precontest diet to ditch some of these carbs. Ugh!

And just for kicks and historical purposes, I've attached a crappy iPhone 'before' pic.

Update:

My stuff has yet to arrive, but I found the same stuff locally and picked up enough to get started. If/when the order arrives, it'll be a bonus at this point.

Did my first injection saturday night. I did 500mg of test-e in the right glute (I hadn't revisited this thread and forgot about the discussion re: once a week vs twice a week injections). Glute was plenty sore all day sunday and I'm still feeling it today. A little swelling, no redness or anything.

I started with the d-bol sunday morning - had a workout a couple hours later, and not even so much as a placebo effect (bummer). Not sure how long it should take to kick in. Today (Monday) was an off day, but I'm hitting arms tomorrow - we'll see. I figured this would be the hardest part - the waiting time after the first injection until the effects kick in.

One other note regarding the injection: thank fuck my girlfriend has a nursing background. I am such a pussy there's no way I would have done that myself. I'm very prone to MRSA infections and she was very concerned about getting some bacteria mixed in to an intra-muscular injection, so I showered using a clorhexidine wash beforehand. She used a 25ga 1.5" needle (not her first choice, but all we had) which took forever to draw up, and it took enough hand strength to get the oil in me that she had very deep impression marks left on her thumb from the plunger. Thankfully she's a pro and I had no idea how much she was struggling until it was over (I couldn't watch - as I said, I'm a pussy). I think we'll go 23ga 1" next time.

In summary: sore ass, can't get to workout tomorrow, next shot saturday night. Might go with just 250 and start splitting them up sat/wed or something like that - we'll see how it goes.

Split up the injections, and it will be a few weeks before you feel the test.

You need at least 2 Grams of protein for every pounds of bodyweight,and frankly i do not see it here!

It's about 375 grams. Since that was posted I dropped my calories a bit to try and feel a bit less like a cow before starting my cycle, so i'm getting about 300g now. I'll fiddle with my food spreadsheet a bit and get it up to around 400 asap.
