Pic from this morning (CRAZY pump): Imgur: The magic of the Internet
Weighing in at 216-218 every day. Keeping the calories a bit lower now, 3100-3300 per day, trying to eat more at maintenance as the test clears out. Very excited to see what I look like after 4-6 weeks of cutting.
Lifts have been solid, finally able to incline DB press again after months of problems with my pectoral tendon. Got a nice strict set of 110s for 10 reps this morning, easing back into it.
I’ve started tapering off of the test. Changed the protocol around a bit, now its perfectly linear - 400mg, 5 days later 300mg, 5 days later 200mg, 5 days later 100mg, 5 days later start PCT. 5/9 will be the 200mg day, so still some time before PCT. Still not feeling any mood changes.
Despite noticing no gyno during the cycle, I now feel a slight lump on my right nipple, just the right side. I took 2 .5mg doses of adex last week, but won’t be taking anymore as PCT starts soon. Not a huge deal, had pubertal gyno before even starting the cycle, and eventually will get some from of surgery anyhow for both my chest and all the skin on my midsection.
Again I have no HCG left for a HCG blast, but I did run 250iu 2x per week from weeks 4-9. Maybe a very slight bit of shrinkage, but not concerned. Would be more diligent with this on a higher dose or multi-compound cycle.

Wow, great job and great progress…you most certainly did deliver with this log. I would say that your experiment (from your log & pics) was a success!
As an overview DM, how would you rate your firsthand actual experience (and expectations) in terms of: size gains, strength gains, endurance, libido effects, skin changes, blood work, etc…where there also any surprises (positive or otherwise) from your first cycle that you didn’t anticipate?
Just curious as to how well this first run went, in your opinion, as to what you experienced versus what you hoped to achieve. I know that you are still in taper mode, but this would be great close for this first cycle log.
