What the HELL did you expect on your first cycle?

[airsmith2k]

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?

that .5 of liquidex ur taking everyday is gonna slow down your gains alot

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.

Nelson,
If yuour overwirght to start you will not see density in your muscles. Also I wolug think you would lose some weight and harden up if your diet is right. What is you opinion?

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 didn;t notice that. Yep, too much. It isn;t being cautious if you overdo a prevenitive measure. Primmo doesn't aromatize and 250 of T is very little. I'd say you don;t need any dexx at all -- just keep it on hand in case, and for after the cycle when there's a little spike in e , but even then, 0.5 EOD, along with the POST CYCLE should be PLENTY.

matt: It's harder to see subtle muscular changes with a layer of fat and Primmo is a slower, more subtle compound.

I think 2rap will have to wait a month or so before giving a full evaluation. If you're sure the gear is good and all goes well with PC,in a few months, you can do another more potent cycle. Better to err on the side of caution.

Nelson do you remember your first cycle? ={P

Yeah Nelson...we all know you don't do it anymore, but you're on HRT, right? But what was your FIRST cycle like.

I'll drop the Arimidex.... thanks

I was expecting to get strong and big. It was weird because I knew it would take a couple weeks for the test to kick in. I didn't really realize it but my gains never stopped the whole cycle. Before it was all said and done I was plus 30 lbs. I was shocked once I realized that. People noticed and jokingly made steroid comments and I laughed and said "I take that as a compliment since I would never touch that stuff" It sucks working out after a cycle because I never get worm out while I'm "on".

I did the most pussified fist cycle ever -- Primmo TABS! Talk about plaing it safe! I could actually see and feel a difference though and that got me hooked.

I then went to Primmo inj and pretty much everything else after that. My BIG contest cycle was 200 mgs of Decca and (if I recall correctly) 20 mgs of dball. I hated the bloat and had to lose a ton of water but placed 5th at the NPC on that simple stack. Pretty much stuck with primo and test after that. (I was especially fond of sus 250 but see little need for it now). Never exceeded 800 mgs a week.

my first cycle (which amazingly was over 20 years ago) I was expecting to feel it,and was slightly disappointed because I didn't feel the effects until 4 weeks into it.at the time I was running testosterone enanthate and wasn't educated on the time frame it takes and how it actually works.the gains came slow and steady and 10 weeks into it I was very pleased with my size and strength increases.

first cycles to me are basically good for a person to gauge how they react to gear in general,to determine whether or not they're prone to gyno,acne and hair loss.that's why I recommend running one compound at a time that way if you have sides you will know exactly what's causing it and can adjust accordingly.

for a second cycle and cycles there after I've always jump started them using testosterone propionate and or dianabol.that takes the waiting part entirely out of the equation imo.
