Pirate's First AAS Cycle.

Probably not. T3 is very catabolic. You only want to use it while you are still running anabolics. He is running clen for the first couple of weeks of his pct.

No, I am not using T3 during PCT. WTF, Luke?

I've kept my weight up at 174 lb this week, even though I've been a bit sick. I start lifting again (after a week off) tomorrow. I'm going to do two warm-ups and one heavy-ass set of the various exercises with plenty of rests between sets. Whole workout should take half of an hour. I'm going to try to lift the same weight as I was on cycle (for one set). After doing this for three days--hiting every muscle group once--I'll have some idea how well I'm keeping my strength gains. I look smaller, but I still think I'll keep 15 lbs LBM that I gained after pct--which ends after march.

Balls are still hanging well, and I'm much more relaxed these days. I'll update after I lift.

Workout went well. I was able to lift the same weights for the same or more reps. I kept my workout to 30 min. Taking that week off was a good idea. I stopped the clen because I don't want to lift on that stuff. I don't think I'll use it much anymore, unless I'm taking time off from the gym.

I don't feel shutdown. My energy is fine, and my libido is slowly catching up. I feel the usual aggression that I am accustomed to in my everyday life--not like the apathy I felt during my M1T PCT when I was shutdown.

I think that I'll be able to keep all my gains through PCT since I'm not that big anyway. In about a week, I'll raise the volume of my workouts by one set of each exercise if all goes well.

I did the same thing today: warm-ups and one set of each exercise with the same weight I was using on cycle. Whole routine lasted 30 minutes. On bench, I was doing 215 lbs for 9 reps on cycle, but I failed on my 9th today. There was no loss of strength on my other lifts. I took just about every set to failure, and was sometimes surprised that I couldn't complete the rep. I always finished my reps on cycle. I just don't have that burst in me that I could tap into when I had all that test in me.

I drank gatorade and BCAAs right before lifting to help reduce catabolism. I'm loving this Citrulline Malate and CEE combo I'm taking. I'm taking 3.5 g HMB powder twice daily as well.

My libido is slowly returning to normal. Had sex for 45 minutes without stopping last night and didn't blow my wad, but I woke up and finished the job in < 15 minutes this morning.

My nolva dose is 60 mg/day this week, down from the 90 mg/day I took the first week. No problems other than oily skin.

I'm going to do my first back day of pct in a bit. I've had bouts of lethargy that seem to come out of nowhere, but otherwise I feel quite normal by most measures. I've put on a few pounds in the last few days, so I am going to have to focus more on proper diet. I've still been eating like I'm on cycle, and it is not going to the right places.

**Pirate!** · 03-07-2005, 04:48 PM

Workout went fine. I used the same weight, but on some exercises I unexpectedly failed on my last set. I thought my anger/aggression issues were getting better, and the anxiety has, but I still get pissed-off a lot more than I used to. I need to reevaluate my coping mechanisms...I'm in danger of being a jerk.

**Pirate!** · 03-09-2005, 03:45 PM

Due to a series of exams that I have to take before spring break, I'm going to miss today and tomorrow. I am eating way over maintenance, so as to keep all my muscle while not lifting as frequently as I should. Unfortunately, I've put on about 4 lbs in the last week. I'm up to 178 lbs. I plan to get back in the gym Friday and get my diet more under control. My caloric needs are suddenly way less than a few weeks ago. Plus, not working out much lowers my metabolic rate more.

Anywho, I slowly feel my libido and energy returning to normal, though I am using small amounts of Lipo-6 to avoid the occasionally lethargy that seemed to catch me off guard from time to time during these first two weeks of pct.

I've decided that this journal has run out of steam, and so I'll end it here. As is, I believe I will keep my gains with a little extra fat. I plan to cut after pct. It was a fun ride, and I think I did well for only 9 weeks of shots (and some d-bols). I gained 16-18 lbs of LBM after subtracting my estimated fat gain. My next cycle is planned for the fall and will include short esters and orals only.

Thanks to everyone who took interest enough to follow my journal. Hopefully, you have learned something from my experimentation. Happy Trails!

Wow, this sadly seems like a goodbye. I don't do so well with these.
