Hi all, long time viewer and FYI, everything that I learned here I built my first cycle around.
Stats are:
29 yrs old
Work out off and on for 12 years (more off than on
5’11"
190
Don’t know bf, but I have small love handles and can sometimes see the top 2 of my six pack. I’ve made a promise to my self that I will not start this bulking cycle til I lose 15lbs. If I work out 20 days a month without gear, of those 20 days, only 2-3 are productive (I measure productivity by how sore I am the next day).
So, here was my first cycle (started early Nov):
Wk 1-2 D-bol 20-50mg (I couldn’t take the back pumps so I had to stop 2 wks short)
Wk 1-10 Test-e 400mg/wk
Wk 8-11 Winny 50mg/day
Wk 8-11 HCG 500IU E3D
Wk 1-10 A-dex .5mg ED
Wk 12-14 Nolva as needed
Wk 1-10 Proscar ~1/5 tab
D-bol is FIRE! I felt like a bench a house. I noticed about a week and a half a very, very intense back pain (know for a fact it was kidney related from d-bol, or at least it was not any kind of back pain I’ve ever felt before), so I had to stop taking it. That sucked big time. Cranberry helped a little but not nearly enough for me to risk kidney probs.
2nd week into cycle, I came down with a SEVERE case of tendinitis. It was so bad that I couldn’t bend my elbow past 90 degrees. So what does any retard do in this scenario? Get a cortisone shot and stay of tricep and grip exercises. It’s just about completely healed now.
Regarding Test-e 400mg/wk, dosage was too low. I upped it to 600/wk about wk 7 and felt better. Winny is GREAT, HCG is GREAT, A-dex and Nolva are all GREAT.
Here’s what I need to know: I want to cut the Winny out this time and do a bad ass bulking cycle. Knowing the little that you know about how I responded to cycle 1, what should I add or subtract from cycle 1 to get a bad ass bulk-only cycle 2?
Also, I seemed to get better pumps when on d-bol or winny alone vs when I was on test-e alone. Is that normal? All my gear comes from a real legitimate pharmacy. (I have a generous HRT doc
