First Cycle Results

[bobdylan]

Figured I would share my first cycle results with everyone.

Stats:
-I'm 5'4"
-I was 21 years old at the time
-First time I walked into a gym was November 2009, I was 115lbs at the time and did not even know what a barbell was or what benching was
-Lifted hard up until June 2010 when I separated my A/C joint which netted me about 2 months of lost lifting time, numerous set backs, continued pains, a weak chest and ultimately drove my desires to cycle
-Beginning cycle: 148lbs, 12% BF
-End cycle: 165lbs, 10% BF
Lifts:
-Pre: Bench - N/A, Squat - 315x3, Dead - 405x3
-Post: Bench - 275x3, Squat - 405, Dead - 495 (did deads only a few times)


Cycle info:
1-4 SD @ 20mg e/d
1-10 Test-E @ 500mg e/d
8-12 Epi @ 40mg e/d

Pictures:

Extra from midway through when I was around my heaviest (relaxed):

At first I was more into pling so I was kind of doing a lot of 1-3rm's on bb bench around the time then just one day while warming up on bench it went. Though as I said that was over a year ago so you there isn't really any aesthetic difference but I can still feel it and that side it still still weaker when it comes to chest/shoulder stuff.

I am usually pretty humble when I guesstimate my bf%. I have been hearing what you are saying a lot...maybe if enough people bother me about it I will start saying 8% lmao. Though I figure for the most part people underestimate their bf% and nothing pisses me off more than people frauding about something so arbitrary.

What did it feel like when it went, and where did it hurt?

[ANIMALHAUS]

500mg of test e/d?!?!?! Thats a ton of test!! haha j/k. Looking good brother.

 

[aja44]

I think you look great and the cycle was simple for a first cycle. What are you plans for your next cycle?

 

[bobdylan]

Thanks for all the reps and kind comments guys

What did it feel like when it went, and where did it hurt?

One of the more excruciating pains I ever felt. The worst part is that it stayed at that level for several weeks, though now I am finally to the point where it doesn't hurt too much anymore even when lifting.

I literally had trouble driving because it was so pain to reach with my left arm for my seat beat or rotate it around while driving.

I remember the first day I tried shower and couldn't wash half of my body because it hurt too much to reach around with my arm.

Lmao. That was money.

^_^

 

[Grizzly Adams]

I hope when I compete that each of my thighs will be bigger than my waist

Must of had a good diet, good looks bro

Haha yeah way to make me feel guilty for pounding double baconators on consecutive nights last week.

Time to get back on the diet wagon

All my dieting is credit to:
-Orville Redenbacher's Low Fat Popcorn
-Kashi brand cereals
-Protein fluff
-Intermittent fasting / lean gains
-Anything written by Layne Norton

Why is this guy in the red? Nice work man.

I thought someone made an extremely stupid comment in a thread and I jumped on them but really I skimmed it too quickly and ended up being the idiot which got me mod negged : /

 

[SloppyJ]

I take back my previous statements. Good work bro. What's your goal weight?

 

[bobdylan]

I take back my previous statements. Good work bro. What's your goal weight?

Goal: Hyooge but balanced physique.

I guess if I had to slap a number on it 175 while @ 6% bf.

This is Alex Azarian who is maybe an inch shorter than me at 165 in competition form:

LMAO typo it is sposed to saw 500mg e/w haha not 3.5 grams a week.

I usually track my diet but I think I lost the logs from this cycle.

At first it was high protein high carb so I could add some mass on

Then the last 3 weeks on I started doing cardio, low carb and high protein.

Did it hurt at the front of the shoulder? Did you see a doctor?

Nah mostly just ontop where the a/c joint is

Yes several

Got:
-MRI
-2 cortisone shots (never get these!)
-Several different physical therapists
-Chiro

I tried about everything

great physique bro

I did when I was gaining though when I cut down I tracked my cals to around 2k

I had the MRI recently, although they have not told me what it said yet. The doc said no cortisone for me, since I lift weights. He told me that the cortisone would make it feel better and then I would really injure it.

Yeah avoid anti inflammatorries at all cost even NSAIDs are bad news unless you are in such immense pain you can't live without them.

 

[Mr.BTB]

bro did you post a pic of yourself on the MD site a while back now?
Good work bro.

Good work bro.

I don't think I am a member on MD so nah.

FYI here are some pics of me right before I started lifting when I was 115 (I used to play propaintball lmao):

Bonus pick of me wearing some high tech patch that would shock dexamethasone (steroidical anti-inflamm) into my a/c joint:
