Test E (galenika) First Cycle

New member
Hello everyone!
I've been lurking EF for 2 years now and finally decided to contribute. :verygood:

I've decided to join the dark side and do a few cycles. I'll try and keep as detailed log as possible, both to give back to the community as well as to motivate myself to follow the plan to the letter. I'll also try to attach a lot of pics. ( they might be a bit crappy since I don't have a proper camera )

About myself:
Location: Somewhere in eastern europe :) (I'll convert all measurments to imperial system, since we use metric here, and you'll have to excuse me if my english sucks now and then)
Age: 25
Height: 180cm ( 5'11" )
Weight: 85kg ( 188lb )
Been in the gym since: age 14
Been training and dieting seriously for: about 18 months

I think my body type is ectomorph: hard time gaining weight, very easy to drop fat, was a super skinny kid. But since I started training and eating right, I don't think putting on mass is that hard for me.

The gear:
Being a long time lurker here, I know a few safety rules concerning gear. I got all the gear, pins, and PCT ready before the cycle.
I tried to take good pics of everything ( attached at the bottom of the post )

Testosteron Depo - Galenika ( pics 2,3,4)
I heard a lot of good stuff about this testosterone, and it's produced in a neighboring country. I have access to Galenika bought from a pharmacy, so I bought 20 boxes (100 amps) just in case :D

Initally I got two vials of an underground test E (pics 7,8) made by Flor Medico Labs (300mg/ml). But it kinda looks suspicious, even though on the local forums the opinions are it's the best thing on earth. Having read a lot of posts in EF, I decided to never pin anything that's not a legitimate human grade product and bought in a pharmacy. So I'm probably gonna use the two vials to decorate a shelf or something :)

Dianabol
(pics 5,6)
I got this shady looking dianabol a few months ago. I decided to try it for 4-5 days back then to see if it's real. I put on 1.5kg (~3lb) almost instantly and felt great in the gym. But being a total newbie I don't know...It could be anything. I'm trying to decide whether to use this as a kickstart or not. Also I think I can get Naposim (romanian dbol) from a pharmacy. Maybe I should do that and just throw this in the garbage.

Proviron (pic 9)
Pharma bought proviron from Greece. I have 8 boxes of those (20x25mg each). Since we don't have arimidex or aromasine here I think this can work as an AI. Opinions?

Pregnyl (pic 10)
Pharma bought pregnyl from Greece. I have 3 boxes with 3x1500UI amps each.

Tamoxifen
(can be seen in pic 1)
This is bulgarian tamoxifen citrate a.k.a nolvadex, also got this from a pharmacy. I have 20 boxes of those.

Things I can't find anywhere here that would be good to have:
Any of the AIs. Only proviron is available here.
The Testosterone Recovery Stack : Sounds awesome for PCT, but I doubt any site would ship that to eastern europe, and local supplement shops don't have it.
Bacteriostatic water: It seems running HCG during the cycle is the best way to go. However I can't find bac. water anywhere. I tried pharmacies, labs everywhere... nothing. So I'll follow the 1000IU/week protocol from the 2009 PCT program

The Goal:
Get to 90-95kg (200-210lb) very lean. Gain mass in my weakest areas (hands, pecs).
That doesn't have to happen with the first cycle. It's my ultimate goal!

The Cycle:

10 weeks ( but might make it 12 if gains keep coming and/or I like it :D )
1-10 2x250mg Test E Wednesday/Sunday (I hear galenika is overfilled so might be a bit more)
1-4 30mg Dbol - still deciding if i should do that with the UG dbol, try to find pharma grade naposim or just drop it

The PCT:
1 week after last test E shot do a shot of 1000IU HCG weekly for 3 weeks.
Nolvadex

I plan to start the cycle around 26th-27th this month. I am super excited about the whole thing and I'll try to keep this log super detailed!

P.S. : Since this is my first cycle, advice is welcome. I might have been lurking EF a lot, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm a roid newb :). I know there are a lot of knowledgeable people here and I would love to hear their opinions.

Wow impressive!! Someone acually did their homework and very detailed. Looking foward to following your log, you seem to have your shit together you should do very well.
 
I know im new here but from everything ive read HCG should be ran during cycle.. thats just the idea ive gotten from everyone. .makes PCT alot easier from all ive read. someone please correct me if im wrong but that was my take on HCG.

That's the way I want to do it. Unfortunately for me, I can't find bacteriostatic water, so I don't have a safe way to split my HCG to the smaller doses needed for the on cycle HCG protocol.
 
Ok, I'm starting this cycle tomorrow. I'll try to post daily updates of my weight and approximate food intake, as well as gear and supplements taken, and anything else I find log-worthy.

Current stats:
Weight: 84kg ( 185 )
Height: 180cm (5'11")

Cycle:
Week 1-10:
Sundays @ 09:00 am : 1 amp 250mg Galenika Test E
Wednesdays @ 09:00pm : 1 amp 250mg Galenika Test E
Total: 500mg/week
(might be a bit more due to galenikas being overfilled)

Week 1-4:
Everyday @ 08:00am and 16:00pm: 2x10mg dbol
Total: 20mg/day, 140mg/week

PCT:

Week 12-16:
Nolvadex 40/20/20/10mg daily

HCG:
If the bacteriostatic water I ordered arrives, I'll run it 2x250IU weeks 2-10. If not I'll use it at the end of the cycle.

Supplements:
Whey protein
- just got 20lbs. Will be taking around 120-130g daily during cycle and PCT.
Animal Pak - I'm taking this non-stop for years now. I'll take two paks while on cycle.
Green Magnitude ( creatine ) & NO Xtreme ( NO booster ) - I'll be taking these to boost me during weeks 1-4 till the test kicks in, and then during PCT to help me with the workouts.
Elastamine - for them joints

That's all I can think of right now, I might have missed something. First jab is tomorrow morning. I'll report after that :evil:

Damn, I was super nervous even though I've read it was painless to inject. My hands were shaking like crazy :confused:

Anyway I took 10mg dbol as soon as I woke up, had some breakfast and took a hot shower. As soon as I walked out I was shaking in terror because of my first ever pin. I tried to remain cool, washed my hands super carefully for like 10 minutes and ran the amp under hot water to warm the oil up. I then sterilized my table with a few swabs then put on the sterile gloves and opened the amp. I was expecting that to be hard, but it was super easy to break open. I pulled the test with a 20G (was about 1.2ml btw), replaced with 23G and during that whole thing I lost 0.1ml of test. OK, so as I was ready to pin my hands were like that of a 70 year old man lots of shakin going on. I waited for the alcohol on my skin to dry and then just said fuck it and started to push the needle in the glute. Damn! No pain whatsoever! All that metal going in me and I felt absolutely nothing! Anyway I aspirated quickly - no blood, so i started pushing the plunger slowly. My hands were shaking a bit, I was afraid I'll tear something in there, but felt nothing whatsoever. I pulled out quickly when I injected all of it. Then I started sweating and feeling lightheaded, but I guess it was all in my head. I breathed deeply 4-5 times and it went away. Dark side, here I come!

Cliffs:
- Was super nervous prior to first injection.
- Hands were shaking
- No pain whatsoever
- Member of the dark side now :evil:

Update: 28 September

Gear: 20mg dbol
Weight: 84.8kg +0.8 ( 187lb +1.8 )
Food:
About 3800 cals, 320g of protein of which around 150g were from supplemented whey and casein.
Water: >4 liters
Supplements: Green Magnitude, Animal Pak & Elastamine

Workout: Legs
Strength : No change felt yet
Stamina: I did my usual routine, which always leaves me barely walking out of the gym. This time though I felt great and not a bit tired! Guess thats the dbol.
Pumps: Pumps in my quadriceps felt incredible! Not sure if thats placebo, It's my second day on dbol, but the pump was amazing. Can't wait for the test to kick in!

Notes:

  • Some pain appeared in the injected yesterday glute. I inspected the site : no redness, no swelling, no heightened temperature. The pain can be described as slight discomfort at certain body positions.
  • Feeling very good and smiling all the time :qt:
P.S. : My bacteriostatic water and sterile vials arrived! :)
That means I'll run HCG on cycle starting next week, 2x250UI injected one day prior to the test injection.

Update: 29 September

Gear: 20mg dbol
Weight: 84.5kg +0.5 ( 186.3lb +1.2 )
Food:
About 3400 cals, 260g of protein of which around 100g were from supplements
Water: >6 liters
Supplements: Animal Pak & Elastamine

Workout: Rest day

Notes:

  • I woke up today with a very sore throat and flu symptoms. I haven't been sick in 2-3 years so I'm guessing this is the "test flu" everyone is talking about. I inspected the injection site again fearing an abcess, but there was no lump, no swelling at all, skin color was exactly the same as the other cheek. Pain is slightly sharper, but not showstopping. I'm upping my water intake a lot, adding some extra 2g Vit C and sacrificing my last meal for some more sleep so I beat this flu faster.

Update: 30 September - 5 October

Lack of updates these days because I have (had) the nightmare flu from hell. My first injection site was completely ok on the 30 Sep, but my flu got worse. I had stuffy nose, sore throat, fever, aches, headaches, sick stomach, you name it. Any food I tried to eat, I had to focus all my energy not to throw it up a minute later. Needless to say my calorie intake and workouts took a complete halt.

I seem to be getting a bit better now, I stopped the dbol and some of my appetite is coming back. I missed the planed midweek test injection, but did the sunday one. This time it is painless and no pain or discomfort after 2 days .

I hope I won't be getting the super flu after each injection, because that would make the cycle useless.

As far as side effects, besides the flu, I haven't noticed anything else.

My weight seems unchanged though I think my abs show a bit more :)

Weight: 85kg +1 ( 187.3lb +2.2 )
