My First Cycle - Test Cyp. & HCG

[paz130]

Well I haven't posted in a while because I went w/ my wife to visit her parents on Wednesday and we didn't get back until Sunday night. I did get all my workouts in last week, even had to do my legs at her parents gym which was tiny but had everything I needed.

This is my 4th week of the cycle and I can definitely tell a difference in my size and strength. People are starting to comment on my size which is great considering how much hard work its taken. My weight has shot up to 164lbs as of yesterday (6/10/09), I've gained 11 lbs. and I don't think I've gained any BF!!
I'll update all of my measurements at the end of the week. (I order BF calipers)

Everything feels great except my lower back has been getting very tight. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, everytime I would stand up and walk around my lower back would tighten up so bad that I couldn't stand up straight. It felt like I had just finished doing hyerextensions!

Ok mate the ticks on a 1/2 ml slin are 10units each (on a 1ml slin they are 20 units)100units per ml .
So how much hcg have you got and mixed at what amount of liquid .?

Brad.

I think I solved the mystery, I found that at the bottom of the syringe it says 50 units and directly next to it, it has 1/2 ml. So that means that on this particular syringe, 50 units equals 1/2ml.

I bought 2 amples of 2000iu of HCG and the mixing instruction had me mix 4cc of the Bacteriostatic solution with one ample of HCG which means that .5cc should equal 250iu, and I'm taking 250iu E4D

I'm finishing my 5th week of this cycle and its really starting to kick in! My strength gains are unreal, I'm making personal bests every week.
My bidy weight is really starting to go up as well, I'm at 168lbs. and I'm pretty sure I haven't gained any BF. I haven't had any side effects yet except for a little water retention, but I'm going to start doing some more cardo to help with that and to help my body adjust to the added body weight.

I'll try to remember to get some progress pics up ASAP!

Everything is still going great! I just finishing my 6th week of my 12 week cycle, and just finished taking the Beastdrol. I'm also taking 250iu of HCG E4D which is also helping. I'm still getting stronger everyday and I'm making personal bests everytime I lift!!

My diet is still very clean and I'm drinking at least 1-2gals of water everyday. I'm starting to see more striations in my pecs and delts and my abs are starting to come in more, but I still feel like I still have some water retentions. So after reading some other threads I decided to order some Liquidex to help with this and plan on taking .5ml ED. Let me know if this sounds right!?

The only thing that I'm starting to have trouble with is some cramping. If I yawn to big or stretch in a certain way, I'll sometimes start to get a muscle cramp in my ribcage or abs. Not sure if its related to the test. or not but I know that is not from lack of water.

Other than that things have been going great! I'm hooked for life!!

Well just finished my last shot of Test Cyp. I had to cut the cylce 2 weeks short b/c I only bought enough for 10 weeks, 1st timer mistake I guess.
The L-Dex I've been taking at .5mg/EOD has definitly paid off, water weight came off easy and hasn't returned.
I'll be starting my PCT in two weeks consisting of Nolv. at 20mg/ED for two weeks. I'll get pics and final stats up as soon as I can.
Of course I've already been thinking about my next cycle which I'll start around Jan. 1st 2010. I plan on doing another bulking cycle, and the reason I'm waiting so long is that in late November my wife and I going to start trying to have our 2nd baby.

I loved this first cycle and I'm extremely pleased with the results and I can't wait till my next cycle.
