So I am in week 2 of a new cycle. I did start it two weeks earlier than planned, so I didn't strictly follow the time on/off rule. And against the advice of the veterans, I decided to run anadrol the first 4-6 weeks. So it's 150mg test e e3.5d, 50mg test prop eod and 50mg drol ed, with occasional tbol when I want to go really hard. The middle of the cycle will be test only and the last 4-6 weeks will be another oral.
Now I didn't eat or train optimally during the time off. My weight fell back down to 143 (went from 140-150 during the first test cycle.) Anyone who may not know me, I'm really short and small framed and I have a hard time gaining weight (apparently even on gear). And I deloaded a lot and just did the bare minimum volume to maintain. I've been really busy putting my mother into a nursing home, dealing with some heavy stuff with my girlfriend, working long hours and just dealing with depression. So I admit that I lost most of what I earned due to my own issues.
So after a week and a half, all of my numbers are back to where they were the last week of my first test cycle. Squatting the same, pressing the same, etc. Bodyweight back up to 150. Conditioning still feels sloppy, but it came back really fast and I am nearly in uncharted waters with a dozen weeks still to go.
I probably should have gone with sust instead of e and p because l, or at least in my case, can confirm that prop is really painful. The pin I did last Tuesday, which was prop into virgin muscle (left quad), was the worst pip I have ever felt. For two days I literally was limping to the point of wanting crutches. I felt like I got stabbed. Couldn't work out for two days because even leg drive on bench was too much. Today I squatted, so five days later, but it was just barely possible. Each time I was in the hole it felt like a dagger in me.
So I'm trying to get more muscles to adapt to gear so that I can rotate, but the process is interfering with my training. I either need to try really frequent tiny pins or stop training full body.
As for anadrol, I absolutely love the stuff. It's what I imagined a steroid to be like. Pumps, vasculariy, strength. It blows tbol out of the water. No comparison. The only sides I have are flushing and warm skin (which feels like a low grade fever), yellow urine despite being hydrated, sweating in the gym more, and some lethargy. It's like that feeling of being depleted if you've had sex like three times in an evening. You still feel good but just worn down like that. All of this is manageable. I don't feel nausea or loss of appetite. I note that the sides are worse if I take 50mg pre-workout (verses splitting).
