Well guys, the cycle is coming to an end. Weighing 215 right now, but the last pic i posted is a good enough representation of where i'm at. I'm 210 in this picture, but i don't think i gained much more muscle mass from that point.
I think i look a bit leaner at 215 than i did at 190 when i started. I also definitely got excessive with my doses at some points, getting up to as much as 700teste/700EQ per week, along with 3-5iu HGH every day. Haven't had any gyno issues or symptoms of it, so i have yet to use any AI.
Only doing 400test/400EQ this week, and then 200test/200EQ the following. Might do one more taper week where i drop down to 100test/100EQ and then i will take nothing for two weeks before starting Clomid. If you all have any advice contrary to this, i'm eager to hear it. I know the sticky recommends a different method, but i ended up dosing higher than i anticipated.
went from roughly 405 squat/290 bench/425 DL to 475+ squat/350 bench/515 DL (without belts or straps).
Definitely going to be running another cycle in the next 2-3 months. Will continue HGH, primarily to continue making my hair thicker. Keeping BF a little lower and potentially helping some with mass retention would be a plus, but i'm not expecting it.
The results have been amazing, especially considering i did a stupid half assed cut for over two weeks right in the middle of the cycle. I've also met a girl i'm in love with who loves me back, slept with a good number of new girls, and feel better about myself than ever before. Feels great to love myself after struggling with intense self-hatred for so long. I feel like AAS helped me get over a lot of anxiety blocks that were holding me back. Now we'll see how well this carries over when off of them.
Thank you for everything! Thinking i'm going to use sustanon and tren for the next cycle.
