What the HELL did you expect on your first cycle?

[Para_Shoot]

I believe that for me it was a vicious cycle that spun out of control. When you stick yourself for the first time you realize that you crossed a somewhat imaginary line..you injected something into your body, not something everybody does. That was a boost right there, the first shot. Now I had an extra "push" at the gym, if you will. After weeks of nothing and then you start adding weight to your sets that you never did before, you realize that the stuff works. Now, the psychology of injecting, strength and gains just drives you harder. I did a lot of cardio so my fat just dropped off my body, albeit with the help of juice too. Pretty soon you start to get a really good physique and that just adds more fuel to the fire of injecting, strength, pushing hard at the gym and gains. Its a great feeling and quite an ego boost. It's great! Trouble is with me, I stayed on 2 years straight..not the greatist choice..but thats me.

I was such a bad ass
throwing around weights to my 2-pac hit em up song.

Nice. I'm still throwing up weights to that song. Bout it, Bout it by Master P was another great motivator.

I like him to...I am a old school gangster rap lover as well as a hard core heavy metal lover...I just long songs that make you want to kill.

I kinda expected the strength after what some of my buds had been doing before me, but the best godamn part was stacking those extra plates and feeling like I hadnt even been to the gym the next day. Not even a hint of soreness

 

[Varga]

really? Do you not think it is necessary? Or just overly precautious?

Again, I'm certain I'll be making some kinda gain, and like it was stated, my only real expectation was to (er, IS TO) recover quicker, maybe get stronger...which in turn will build.... but this is not "that" cycle for me...it's just my first....a test....to see how my body handles it.

The next cycle might not be any longer...but will probably be a little more aggressive.

Again, I'm really only interested in what your expectations were the first time... I think I made a good choice....I'm certain (if our mods are right) that I got top-qual gear.... and I'm looking forward to the future!

I did not know what to expect but when I started benching 365 for reps I knew it was real, so much so, that I kept myself back from pusing harder so I do not get hurt

Actually that was my first clue. It was about 10 days after the cycle and I was training legs and the weight I normally used went up like it was nothing. I added an extra 45 on each side and that went up. That's when I knew. THIS IS FOR ME!

On another note, a friend of mine who never juiced and wasn't a very serious trainer and knew nothing about gear but was willing to try anything. He got a hold of some dball and asked me what to do. I told him to try 20 mgs a day. A week later I have a message on my machine. "DUDE! THIS STUFF WORKS!!!"

I thought I would look like Goldberg by the end.
I had no idea that diet was the most important thing no matter if you used AAS or not.
The reality (that I had no idea of) is that hard work and education play the biggest part in getting the most out of your workouts.
What to eat.
When to eat it.
How much to eat.
Why are you eating it.
A proper routine.
Not overtraining.
Getting the right amount of sleep.

To this day I have never "felt" anything yet I have grown 70+ lbs of lbm on minimal AAS.
