End of First Cycle :(

[rudy76]

Well - here it is, the end of my first cycle is this Thursday.

I started Derma Alpha about a week ago and HCG about 2 weeks ago now. 5 Pumps a day until 2 bottles are gone and 500iu X 2 EW for 5 weeks.

Started back on the eca stack today and will start 50mg Clomid and 20mg Nolva in 2 weeks.

I'm nervous about crashing - I remember the surge of power I felt when it first hit me at 3 weeks. I'm used to that now so hopefully I can maintain a good attitude "OFF" and not go "ON" again too soon.

I am very happy with my results. It's hard to say exactly what my lean mass gains were since my BF% has dropped and I don't have an accurate measurement of that but it's safe to say I gained 25 to 30lbs. I feel this is real mass because I am quite dry right now.

My cycle changed a bit as it progressed, this is what it ended up looking like.

1-6 500mg Test Enanthate (250 Tues & Thurs)
7-10 675mg Sustanon (225 M/W/F)
7-10 50mg Winstrol ED

Cheers

Great job! How much did your strength improve?

 

[rudy76]

Strength went up a lot.

I normally don't lift too heavy but I am starting too now.

Bench is at 3 X 10 at 220lb

Squats I can just push out a few at 310lb - my football knees aren't the greatest and I think this will never increase further unless I want to dislocate a knee.

DB Bi Curls 3 X 10 at 50lbs

Chest Dips 3 X 10 bodyweight + 80lbs

Increases on those vary. Most impressive to me is actually the Dips beleive it or not. I can do that a move on to the next exercise without being drained.

My strength has developed in an odd way. I have been in 2 major car accidents and certain muscle groups have suffered and never really fully came back to their potential. I tore most of the nerves to my right side and my bi and pec on the right side were actually "dead" for about 8 weeks. Doc said I had mild muscle wasting. I think this has helped greatly. I'm starting to even out now.

I'm happy about it and feel great. I was told by a few guys when I first came on here they didn't think I was ready for a cycle. Should have pushed more naturally. I think that's true but when you've been lifting for 10 + years and get f'ed up in car accidents and such this really was like an extension of physical re-hab, accelerated mind you.

to avoid the crush I lift as intense off as I do on and it works to keep muscle more than anything else. You will lose some strength but you shouldn't lose muscle
Take some creatine and just watch your diet as well....don't slack but don't get fat either, keep adjusting your food intake

Ephedrine is catabolic bro -- not good to do when trying to recover. If you're home free why use nolva? Over a gram of testosterone is a lot for a first cycle. I'd add UNLEASHED and POST CYCLE -- especially after using 50mgs of a 17AA.

Happy landings.

Nelson, my max weekly was 675mg Sustanon.

I have read many articles that ephedra is anti-catabolic and in fact helps preserve muscle - is this not true?

Sorry bro. I though you combined them. My bad.

The notion that clen and ephedrine aer anti catabolic is a weird old wives tale started by Dan Duchaine and parroted endlessly ever since. He was wrong and I have no idea where he got it from. Ephedrine is a central nervous stimulant. That means it raises adrenaline and adenaline is highly catabolic.

thats a lot of jice for a first time. but have fun.. i would stay away from your ECA stuff as ephedra acts like meth on muscles. For the let down after i always smoke weed, it keeps me happy and eating enough.. and traiin just as hard.

Good gains so far man, hope you keep em.

EGO!
