Completed my first cycle â?? June 28

I just completed my first cycle, actually to be exactly correct I still have the PCT to finish. Itâ??s been a week since my last pin of Test E and HCG. Iâ??ve also completed tapering off my used of AI (Aromasin) this week. One more week and I will start my PCT for 4 weeks of Nolvadex - 40/40/20/20. I was tinkering about doing Stasis\Taper but decided to go with the advice of regular PCT.

I am not sure why I made such a big deal about using AAS in the last few years. I think with plenty of research and carefully planned cycle, use of AAS can be relatively safe. Since this is my first cycle I kept it simple, one compound with all the necessary ancillaries to support recovery and ancillaries to fix or mitigate issues. Luckily I did not experience any of the negative side effects I’ve read about. Just to review here’s how the cycle looks like:
Week 1-8 Test E 500mg per week (250mg per Mon and fri)
Week 1-8 Aromasin 25mg E2D
Week 3-8 HCG 250iu (Mon and Fri, add days if balls starts to shrink)
Week 11 Nolvadex 20mg (2XD)
Week 12 Nolvadex 20mg (2XD)
Week 13 Nolvadex 20mg (1XD)
Week 14 Nolvadex 20mg (1XD)

Cycle Stats:
Begining Weight: 125.5lbs.
Ending Weight: 134.5 lbs.
Beging BF%: 7.2%
Ending BF%: 5.1%

I would like thank everyone on this board for all the valuable information that help me plan this cycle. Special thanks to Dynamo, Brook, Kayveeay and everyone in the board who posted valuable, insightful and mature postings. There is a lot to learn about the use of AAS and this is the right place to start. The sticky’s are very helpful and a “must read” for anyone contemplating using AAS.

What I learned:

  • Secure Pharma grade compound if all possible.
  • Secure all ancillaries before starting a cycle
  • Having a buddy that supports the use of AAS is very helpful.
  • Water retention is controllable.
  • Clean everything before pinning, hands, desk or table, alcohol swab everything.
  • HCG at 250 iu every 3 days works in keeping the nuts plump.

I am already in the process of planning my next cycle, I should say scheduling because there is not much planning involved since I basically plan on doing the same thing with the exception of front loading the Test E.

Thanks again everyone and please feel free to comment or ask if you have any questions.

You sound as hooked in as me, I am wrapping up my second run now. AAS 4 live!

Okay, I guess I get to be the jerk. I seriously don’t see much difference, and I would think that 10lbs plus a drop in BF% on such a small frame should look nothing short of fantastic.

I’m sorry, I’m just telling you what I see.
