First cycle

[slick rick]

I am in week 4 of my first cycle which consists of:

wk 1-4 RS D-bol- 40mg/day
wk 1-12 RS test E, 250 mg twice per week ( 500mg/wk)

I have seen really good results, started at 225lbs, 4 weeks in and im sitting at 255, crazy shit. In the first week I started getting itchy nips, my right one looked elongated so i hit Nolva up at 10 mg/day, i still continued to get itchy nipples off and on so i upped the nolva to 20mg day ever since with no more issues. I have since looked at old pictures and notice my right nipple has always been slightly larger than my left, funny how you don't notice these things until you really start looking.

I realize alot of the added weight is a mix of water/fat/muscle but I am still happy so far. No acne as yet, my skin is more oily but I'm using a couple of different skin cleaners/soaps that seem to be working on that. My sex drive seemed to crash a bit in the first week but after that my libido has been sky high, constant rock. The only other side that i have had to deal with so far is bloated ankles/feet. I suspect this will go away after i drop the d-bol.

My strength increase has been pretty wild. I finish my 4 weeks of D-bol tomorrow, im just wondering what i can expect, how much weight will i drop? will my strength decrease? Will my strength continue to go up as the test kicks in or does it level off.

training: Im doing a variation of 5x5, loving it, I started it a few weeks before i started my cycle. My joints seem to be holding up ok, rotators have been a bit sore this week so i think i will take a week off lifting heavy and do some lighter speed type training, it has worked for me in the past to get past plateaus.


Diet: 4500-5000 cals/ day, keeping my protein high obviously.

Oh yeah, 37 years old, training serious for 3 years. ( off and on for years before that ) I used to be an avid runner and when i started lifting i weighed 175lbs. So i made some decent gains training natural.

Looks good man. I'm 5 days into my first cycle which is identical to yours, dbol 40mg/day except I'm running omnadren 500mg week instead of test e. I hope I see gains like your getting. If your nips start getting puffy again or you feel any kind of lumps, you may want to consider running some letro. From what I understand its alot more potent then nolva. Good luck with your cycle and keep us up to date.

[slick rick]

thanks J, yeah i do have letro on hand, thankfully there are no lumps. Good luck with your first as well.

drink at least a gallon of water should help with water retention, you should have great results with that cycle.

I think I'll be doing a similar cycle when I finally take the plunge so to speak so it is nice to hear about your experiences. Keep us updated.

Very nice first cycle!!
It is wayyyy too common these days to see people who have no experience with these compounds, yet using very high dosages, and many different compounds all for the first time. No way to tell how you respond, like, dislike, ect anything as there is too much in the equation since you don't know how you react to anything yet.
Once again: Very nice first cycle Bro!

Once thing I do not see though is what you have planned for PCT? If you do a proper one you will not loose nearly as much of your hard worked for gains as you suspect.

Well thought out Slick.

You could of probably used 20-30mg d-bol and still would of worked well.


Good luck bro.

[slick rick]

thanks guys.. yeah my d-bol came in 20mg caps so it was either 20 or 40mg so I went big instead, thanks for the advice though shithead.

im keeping my pct simple, I'm just going to go with the old standard Nolva and Clomid 2 weeks after my last shot, although I have considered to start in on some HCG in the last few weeks of the cycle, what do you guys think??

Another question... since I'm finishing up with the d-bol, should i continue to take the nolva daily as i have been doing or try to cut it out as well. i do have enough to continue daily plus plenty for PCT as well.

[shithead]

If you're taking d-bol and have had itchy nips already with it, I would continue to take it.

FYI letro kills my libido, just keep that in mind,
