First Test E Only Cycle

Pharma
1

So I am currently mid way through week 6 of my first test e only cycle and I did alot of reading before this so I wanted to put a little if my own information out there. I will keep you posted with a update at the end of the cycle and another one in a few months or at the end of the year to see what I kept long after pct.

I am 29 years old and a experienced lifter but the last few years I was homeless and lost so much weight I was really using this cycle to cheat my way back to where I was.

Original stats were 29 years old, 5"10 tall and 69.3 kg.

My cycle is 600mg of test e a week divided into two pins so every 3.5 days 300mg. I have also been using 0.5mg adex eod. I have been planning to do a 12 week cycle. Then pct starts 2.5 weeks after last pin consisting of clomid and nova.

I got my test levels checked before I used anything so when I give you all a update at the end of the year we can see if my natural test levels have been effected long term from 1 cycle.

Currently I’m midway through my cycle and weighing in at 74.5kg so I have gained 5.2kg in 6 n half weeks. So that’s about 11.5lbs in 6.5 weeks.

The adex has kept me super dry and I feel like I have no extra water weight or bloat what so ever. Also the gains have been very slow and steady which seems a positive sign towards only lean mass.

I have been lifting heavy 3 - 6 times a week but I have spent more time focusing on my diet than anything else. I have a very active job and naturally extomorph/hard gainer so iv really been eating as much as I can everyday as I believe i burn around 4000 calories just to maintain.

Diet consists of eggs, potatoes, milk, chicken, pork mince. That’s pretty much what I’m living off and also anything else I can find. A pot of double cream every otherday and protein shakes after meals when I’m already full has also become fairly standard.

I had a massive boost in sex drive from week 1 but other than that no noticiable sides.
I am naturally prone to acne so I have kept double high standards of washing/scrubbing skin. Also making sure tshirts and bedding are always clean. I have a little acne but we’re talking 1 or 2 little spots a week, nothing bad at all and hardly noticiable.

Weeks 1 and 2 I only used 0.25mg of adex but one night I looked at my nipples and wondered if it was puffy so increased the dose to 0.5mg eod. Pretty sure it wasn’t puffy and just in my head, defiantly was not itchy but as the test level raised in me I didn’t mind raising the adex as I wanted to stay super dry and not hold water.

My strength has increased alot, I tested my bent over row yesterday against what I started with on week 1 and I managed to up the weight by 15kg and managed a extra 7 reps.

I guess that’s about all the details I can think to offer you all right now. I have not got bloodwork done mid cycle as I can’t afford it but I did atleast have the smarts to get testing kits for my pct and test before I started which I recommend doing to anyone so at least you know your not going to be screwed with sugar pills on the most important pct.

Not massive gains considering what some people say they get but if it continues as it has done and I get around 20lbs I consider that a huge success. If I kept 14lbs I would be very happy as I figured that would take me atleast a year natty.

Any questions please do ask.

Also nearly forgot the only thing that shocked me that I obviously had not researched was the post injection pain or pip. Hits you about 12 hours after and by 72 hours it should be getting alot better. Feels like you’ve been kicked hard with toecapped boots in the arse. I just wanted to mention it here for any newbies because it did worry me. Each week the pip gets less and less and now I’m on week 6 I hardly get any at all. Also I think it’s worth mentioning that the pip seems to migrate 1-3 inches away from injection site. Weeks 2 n 3 It kept migrating right onto that bony bit on your top bum which also worried me so I started pinning a bit lower which stopped that but for me made it much more likely to hit a vein so Im back to pinning fairly high up.

Props to you, you’ve. clearly done your research. you’ve run a solid first cycle and are making good gains. You wouldn’t believe the amount of people who come on here having done no research at all wanting people to spoon feed them info on how to run cycles. Sorry to hear about the homeless situation, that really sucks, the universe is a cruel bitch and these kind of bad things sometimes happen at random for no reason

Thanks bro! Yeah the universe defiantly screws us all over now and again but I’m pulling it all back now. From the bottom up.

Hey mate no mention of HCG are you running that during your cycle.?

No I’m not at the moment. I actually do have some on hand but after I mix it I’ll need to keep it in a fridge. That fridge would be open to house mates and in the end I wasn’t comfortable keeping pins in there.

I am debating with myself to buy a mini fridge and for the last 4 weeks (6 weeks up untill pct) use the hcg in steady small doses. I don’t want to overload at the end like some people do.

Because it’s just a test cycle I havnt seen it as really necessary but that might be a mistake I don’t know. Next cycle I will most likely use some deca or something like that and I would 100% use it from the start in that case.

One comment that might help you or others is considering using a 25 ga vs. the typical 21 or 22 gauge to pin. Yes it takes longer to draw and inject but who cares? Pain is vertually non-existent!

Also, and maybe I missed it but try almond or walnut oil to add calories via fats. You can’t taste them and can add it to literally everything!!!

Second this, I’ve even pinned with an insulin needle, there’s no need to be using larger gauge needles and creating unneeded damage. I use a larger needle to draw and a smaller one to inject

Hmmmm that’s pretty cool. Iv tried some varied oils before and didn’t much appreciate the taste so I will defiantly be looking for those two on my next shop. Some extra fat in my diet would be ideal.

I use a 23g needle and really that’s fine for me, I can’t even feel it going in unless I catch a vein. There’s a free service in the uk where you can pick up a injection kit for free from many pharmacys. It’s called a needle exchange. Takes 30 seconds and you don’t have to give your details; They give you about a months supply of 21g and 23g needles, syringes, wipes and even a sharps box. It’s a very helpful service but I can’t choose 25 gauge.
