What the HELL did you expect on your first cycle?

[2raptors]

OK... I was just wondering what you guys actually "felt" on your first cycle...and when. I mean, I've read the sticky's and did a year of research before I stuck myself for the first time a week 1/2 ago... (yep, did the second round on Tuesday)....

SO for me...though I know the gains come ever so slowly (I'm on 250ew Sustanon and 450ew Prim0, .05 liquidex ed, Unleashed and Post Cycle on the shelf ready to go) but when you are newbie...and you take the leap...what did you really expect to feel???

I dunno, for me? I did not know WHAT to expect (except I was warned about a sore ass using sustanon...that IS so F'n true) but no "fire" running through my viens...no noticable increases in strength, no rock hard woodies (which I was REALLY hoping for) not leaping buildings in a single bound..... SO I'm just waiting. Though I have to say, I did an EDT set (ever do a couple of THOSE in a row???) with assisted wide grip pull ups and 53lb kettlebell mil presses...and I did 50 reps in 15 minutes....superset...which is a record for me. 3 min rest, EDT set of DB Bench 65x2, KB ballistic rows...50 reps again...another PR).

Was it the AS? maybe. Maybe not. I train hard. Been off KB's for a while... was doing traditional weightlifting....good stuff.

SO what did YOU feel or EXPECT to feel the first time?

I expected to be strong as fuck and for the first few weeks i was like damn this shits slow but then one day around week 4-5 your gonna walk in and throw an extra plate on pretty much everything and not be tired at all, its amazing just be patient.

 

[2raptors]

OH yeah, I was told to be patient...so I am...it's just...the first time you do it.... I was thinking "WTF is this gonna feel like".... So it was surprising.

Anyone else?

After trying garbage supplements for years that didnt work I was pretty pleased with my first cycle.

 

[2raptors]

I'm sure I will be too...but did the first time you shoot give you what you expected? Or was it anti-climax-tic.??? That's the Q! You read all the time, "AS won't make you an instant beast, or make you instantly stronger.....hard work and good diet are the key to reaping the bene's..." But didn't you "expect" some feeling? Like the described "feeling of well-being" you are supposed to get from "test"?

And me too on the garbage supps....Nelson hit it head on in BB Truth.

I kept my expectations low. I began to realize how quickly I was recovering and how much stronger I felt. I gained 10 pounds pretty quick. People treated me different in the gym... the veterans started asking me to spot them and stuff. It was great. And mind you it was a simple Deca-Winny cycle.

Everyone's different. Some feel super human within hours whereas it takes others a couple of weeks. If you're stronger than ever, that's a sign. It depends on your expectations. If you expect TOO much, you might be disapointed. It's like the guys who think that as long as they do gear they they're going to gain as much muscle as they want. It doesn't work that way. And remember, you're on a relativively conservative dosage and Primmo doesn't make you blow up.

Still, for a first time you should be seeing more density in your muscles (unless you're overweight). Or, the gear can just be flat out no good or underdosed. Keep us posted.

I never expected any superhuman changes or anything. I was hoping for more strength and faster recovery and that was what i got. I was told at the time that i'd notice changes around week 3 which turned out to be true. Around week 5 the weights i've been doing suddenly seemed light. I mean not just when I was doing the actual lifts. I remember standing by the bench looking at someone doing 25 lbs more than i used to and thinking: "Hell that thing is light as a feather bet i can do my 8 reps with that easy." I could Never looked back.

Hey 2rap,
I had some early painful sides with my first d.bol cycle but after my body calmed down and balanced 2 weeks in, (total short 4 weeks) I had really low expectations. I was pleased to have first lost a couple of lbs, and then gain back 7 lbs of which 6 I was able to keep. My strength increased at least 20 percent, and I didn't hurt my joints like I was worried, my pumps were like they were 25 years ago, and I broke through a plateau I was stuck at for years.

Not nearly a superhuman feeling, but any improvement was very welcomed and I am still benefiting from the added strength at this point. I didn't have any increased libido until I did my clomid P.C.T which I just finished last week.

I will be next trying Androgel (dr. prescript) and considering Anavar and or Dermacrine to be run at the same time. Another weak cycle, but I am looking for modest solid gains that my joints can handle.

Good luck with your goals bro.. I'm sure they're on the way!!
