Broke the skin on my ass for the 1st time last night after 3-4 years of training, pretty stoked I must say

I have so much respect for all of you on here and have received so much fantastic information over the past year that I wanted to share the experience of my first cycle with everyone I guess

As some of you might have read I have a bum back (retrolysthesis in L5) so, as a powerlifter, unfortunately had to drop squats/deads indefinitely. For the past year I've focused 110% on bench. Frustratingly it was my weakest lift and I just recently managed to get it up to 225.

My goal for this 10 week cycle of Cyp is to hit 315 lbs touch and go under my coach who puts up 500+ himself. We have a pretty solid approach to programming this run and I'm going to shamelessly bulk with no concern for bf% (I'm fairly lean and don't care about putting on some meat).

Anyway, I'll check in here periodically to note changes. So far for the first few hours after 1st pin my heart beat got pretty fast, but the same thing happens when I go get a steroid shot from a doc when sick so I'm sure something similar. Might pop Cialis if it keeps messing with me.

*Any tips, insight, etc. you guys have for me are more than appreciated so please share as much as you want. For starters: How the hell do you aspirate when pinning your own asscheek? Lol

Bump the cycle to 12 weeks. No need to aspirate, have an A/I in case you start to get e sides. ( especially if you're bulking ) Hope you got bloods, get them again in 6 weeks, you have your pct prepped and ready? Get bloods again after pct. you planning on running Hcg?

one day when your older you will figure out that higher reps lower weight will make you bigger faster but if your a power lifter that will sound stupid haha

enjoy this first run...my advice to you is to do everything perfect with your diet and training. This will most likely be the best cycle of your aas usage so take full advantage of every aspect!

Awesome, thanks all

Day 2: Ass cheek is sore but very, very subtle. Woke up with heart rate still fluttering a little but got my stats checked and sitting at 113/71 (really low for me thankfully) and a 79 pulse

With going light weight for growth it's something, for my joints' sake, I invest in more lately. I rarely go for a 1 rep most is a heavy double or triple. Doing more 3-5 lately with bodybuilding to support.

And I'm just pinning 250 twice a week (Monday/Thursday). Heard some folks do it outside of a weekly regimen like just every 3 days?

Do both rep ranges. High and low. Heavy and light. Do it allllll. Why do people still argue over that shit? Lol strength breeds size

O, master... heheh

Coach has me doing essentially heavy day working up in heavy doubles and singles followed by sets of 10-12, then a volume day something like 8x5 or 8x3 linearly progressing up each week.

Think that would do me good while staying in a surplus and getting in dat celltech?

Congratulations on breaking your AAS cherry.

As seeker said, bump it to 12 weeks. You will be so happy that you did, trust me! Stay caloric positive but don't add fat. Muscle moves weight, not fat. I think your elevated heart rate is from you over thinking this; relax and enjoy the ride.

I still wonder this myself.

X is a good middle ground example. He does both and clearly has more muscle mass than I do, with a very close total.

But the amount of muscle I've packed on over the past year doing nothing but doubles triples and 5's, while on an ongoing recomp, has surprised me.

Day 3: Woke up, tapped some ass, went to bench and threw up 225 pretty fast

I know I won't "feel anything" for a couple weeks but today was a noticeably stronger day than usual. Granted I've been running a very well planned program so I'm sure it's mostly attributed to that

Wanted to also note my supp stack: Men's Multivitamin, Vit C, CoQ10 gummies, L-Arginine, Potassium, Glucosamine/MSM, and keeping Dandelion Root on hand in case of water retention

I will be the first to say that none of those supps are the culprits for your well being... (although I still think it cant hurt and its a good idea to run them...) But what you will first notice is just a sense of general well-being.... like: "everythings gonna be okay (or even better)" and maybe you can even think of reasons why it will be okay, but it still doesnt make sense of why the feeling is so strong, but it just IS..... thats my happy place....
