AlphaD's Road to Rampage.....

[AlphaD]

Meh couldn't think of a clever title......anyhow I am going to try and start logging my cycle more frequently......currently in week 3 of Test E 250 M/Thurs.

Workout Chest and Biceps yesterday

Flat Barbell Press 4 x8 165, 185, 205, 210 Tempo 4010.....really focusing on slow negative portion and putting time under tension. Last set I did strip set 210, 185, 165.

Inc DB Press 4 x 8 55, 65, 70, 75 Tempo 4010 same 75, 65, 55 strip on last set

Flat DB Press Fly 4x8 grabbed 45 lbs for this. Not so much focus on Press part but time under tension on downward flye.

Machine Pec deck 3 x 8 S/S w/ pushups to fail.

Machine Preacher 4 x 8 (machine at gym has front middle and back load) I had a total of 60 lbs dispersed on machine Tempo 4010
Seated DB Curls 3 x 8 30, 35, 35 last set 35, 30
Single arm Cable Curl (faced away with arm about two inches behind shoulder) 3 x 8 25lb


I felt great, when I went to locker room, I went to sink to wash hands and splash face with water, and I couldn't lift my freakin arms up! My chest and arms are still thrashed today.
Also, right now I am not worried nor want to compete with anyone here with poundages, since I am applying Time under tension, my poundages are lower then when i run a said 5/3/1 program.

Hunger is out of control, I can't eat enough. I don't know if it is the AAS, or just knowing that I am on, and "housing food"

Agitation is still there, but not uncontrollable, or towards anyone.

Having a bad case of sleeplessness occasionally happened twice last week and once already this week??!!


Anyhow, Pin Left Quad tomorrow, and workout Quads and calves....

More to come.

Just Test at 500/week? Are you new to this or just going easy at the moment? Not that there is anything wrong with test...

[Georgia]

That's all Alpha? I'll be running 500mg/week soon with some Var. Sounds like it's working pretty good. Keep it up man

[Jada]

Great intro and Lookin forward to following Ur journey, great job on the workout

First run man, was going to add in Dbol, but decided to run with Test only. I have to PH cycles under my belt, but they were a mix of different ones. I decided to run Test just to gauge what I am feeling off of just that. Next cycle, well that will be a different story

Yeah I thought about back ending var on this one but don't know enough about it...... Thanks brother.

[Georgia]

Get some var and run it the last 6-8 weeks of your cycle. The test won't usually fully kick in till about week 4 so if you're running 12 weeks of test start running 40-60mg of var weeks 6-12. That gives you 6 weeks to feel Test out and 2 weeks to really feel the effects then put some var in to boost your gains even more. You have 3 more weeks to order you some to give it a go. Won't regret it. I'd run test for 14 weeks and 7-8 weeks of Var.

I'm on my phone not sure if I made sense

[AlphaD]

Perfect sense man, and I believe that is the path I may follow . Kinda what I was trying to read up on, but you layed it out perfectly. Thanks!

[mattyice]

Test only is the best gauge of how your body gna react. Add an oral next run...you doing the right thing at test only. Good luck.

[AlphaD]

Ok so yesterday I pinned left Quad, went real smooth

Workout was Quads.

Leg Extension (hammer Strength plate load both sides) 4 x 8 Tempo 4010, 90, 100, 120, 130... last set 130, 100, 90 strip set

Hack Squat 4 x 8 155, 175, 205, 225 * Push up fast, slow to lower I could have done more but I haven't hack squatted in over 1 1/2 and was unclear where I was at in poundages.

Today

I am taking a day of rest, my body is thrashed and sore, but in a good way.

I am in week 4 of test cycle, and I did my first Hcg shot yesterday.
As of right now I am running my AI at 12.5 every 3day. Seems to be working good that way for now.

Hunger is still up, still having bouts of sleeplessness, not every night but a couple nights out of the week. Body feels pumped during the day, really like that. Agitation is still there, but I use the gym for some of that, and when I look agitated my wife gives it up to calm me, so all good.

Scale as of today was at 206.5, I started at 196.00. I am feeling great!

More to come.

What did you decide with the var?

[AlphaD]

What did you decide with the var?

Was going too man, but found out that none was in stock when (and where) I order from........

[PFM]

Stick to Test only first time out, learn it, know it.

[Four1Thr33]

Var at 50mg is very mild FYI , if u do decide to run it u should notice some effects within a week normally
I have ran var twice now at 50mg... Will be Gping to 100mg next

[AlphaD]

Stick to Test only first time out, learn it, know it.

I have been on the fence about it. I am enjoying the Test for sure. thanks for the advice...
