Midway thru my 4th week of pinning. Energy and libido are very high. I can really feel my chest and arms getting much more solid and my lifts are up across the board. Hopefully soon I will begin to lean up some

I've been steady on my 3600 calories. And getting my macros honed in better with a little higher carbs and lower fat.

Finishing up my 4th week of pinning. I have noticed how good my joints feel (especially my elbows and shoulders) is this from the Deca already ? Strength, energy, and libido are all improving. I have started to get acne around my head (I keep my hair short, almost shaved on the sides) and around my mouth. I have tried some different cleansers but nothing has cleared it up yet. Are there any secret remedies out there? Will this eventually clear up or will it be an issue for the entire cycle ?

That could be the deca but 4 weeks would normally be a bit early. Could just be placebo. Doesn't matter, just enjoy being pain free for probably the first time in who knows how long lol

Acne for many can be a sign e2 is elevated. But yeah having jacked up test is gonna make you a bit greasy. Don't use super harsh soaps and scrub the **** out of your face. Use something gentle and gently wash. Use hot water to help loosen oil and dirt and rinse away without needing a heavy soap. Don't rush it the cleaning process.

Maybe let your hair grow a bit for the winter.

After next week...does that sound about right?

Yes.

If your e2 is elevated then dropping it down may clear up the acne as POB mentioned.

Start on my 5th week of pinning. Bloat has returned but not as severe as last time. Blood test is ordered. I will have it done next Monday. Strength, energy, and libido are all improving.

Got blood work this morning before I start my 6th week of pinning. Weighing in at 301 lbs. Up 15 lbs total since the start of the cycle. Waist is 1" smaller thou. I am still having issues with acne around my nose and mouth. Hopefully the blood work will provide some answers there. Strength, libido, and energy continue to improve every week. I will get a pic later this week for comparison.

Starting week 7 of pinning. I tweaked my shoulder a little last week so I may cut back on the weights and work slow controlled reps this week until it feels better. I still need to get a new pic to post for comparison from pre cycle.

8 weeks starts today. I have a little bit if itchy nipples. Started taking Nolva on Saturday so hopefully it goes away quick. Other than that everything is great. Weighed in at 305 Sunday.

Here's one today at 305 and the old one around 280. I'm kind of in that stage where I look better in a shirt and fatter out of one. Lol. I'm not quite leaning out like I'd hoped yet
