Ok....I just got back from my deployment a couple days ago. I finished my cycle while I was over there, and started PCT (which I'm still currently on) about a week and a half ago. Thought I would share some thoughts and observations since I'm back CONUS and the internet Nazi's aren't blocking this site 
Some of you probably remember, my cycle was my first pinning cycle. It was very simple, consisting of Test E (500 mg/week), Dbol (40 mg/day for the 1st 4 weeks), Exemestane (10 mg eod), and PCT was Clomid, and Exemestane. Simple Simple. And all compounds were ordered from Purity Source.
I will try to go through how I felt, how the compounds affected me, what I will do differently next time, and my gains (I was interested in strength gains).
This cycle went pretty smoothly for being my first pinning cycle, and where I was when I was pinning. I say that in retrospect, because the first few weeks I had some pretty bad PIP and I thought I was doing something wrong and panicked and thought I was fucking up my quads (like any newbie pinner). Once my quads got used to the oils, I stopped having the pip.
Ok...so, when I first started the cycle, I didn't pay much attention to my dosage for my Exemestane. This was a mistake. I got 20 mg pills. So being the meat head I am, I just popped a pill a day. For about three days. Don't do that. I felt like absolute shit for a week after that. Terrible headaches. Tired, lethargic. I think I crashed my E. Whatever it was....I didn't like it. I stopped taking it altogether for about five days, then started taking ten mg eod. That seemed to be just right. I took that for about 8 weeks, then tried 12 mg eod. I was kind of estimating that dosage, but I think I was pretty close. Again, this seemed to work fine also.
I never experienced any symptoms of high E during my cycle. No puffy nipples, no pain nothing. I was pretty stoked about his because I have taken orals in the past without knowing what the fuck I was doing, and got gyno. One thing I did notice....my balls did get smaller. Could be my imagination, but I don't think so. I wish I had gotten some HCG to take during cycle. I do have some on order for my next cycle.
The compounds I ordered from PSL were legit, and high quality as far as I could tell.
The gains I recorded from this cycle were:
Shoulder Press 1RM: Added 20 lbs to 225
Deadlift 1RM: Added 20 lbs to 425
Back Squat 1RM: Added 20 lbs to 400
Bench Press 1RM: Added 15 lbs to 310
I'm pretty happy with those numbers. I plan on getting to 500 lbs on my deadlift and 450 Back Squat on my next cycle. I also put on a lot of weight. I tried to watch my diet, and get good protein. But it's hard to do when you eat in a chow hall. I'm going to say I probably put on 20 lbs.
PCT:
Like I said, I used Exemestane and Clomid for PCT. I didn't see a need to increase my Exemestane dosage during PCT, so I've just been doing 12 mg eod. I did 150 mg/day of Clomid for the first 5 days, then dropped to 100 mg/day. I'll do 100 mg a day for a total of two weeks, then drop to 50 mg/day for the last week of pct. I will say that I have dropped 5 lbs since I stopped pinning. I think it's mostly water though. I haven't been in the gym in about four days (travelling, recovering from travelling, Jet lag, etc), but I'll say that when I was doing my 1RM's, I hadn't pinned in a couple weeks, and I didn't feel weak. I'm sure when I get back in I will be able to tell I'm not pinning. But hopefully I will retain a lot of what I gained.
Another thing I've noticed during PCT is that my libido isn't as strong as it was when I was pinning. It's not that I can't, or don't want to....I just don't think about it as much, ya dig? I'm sure that will come back as my T comes back on line. I'm going to get bloods done in about a week. I am contemplating doing them a little too early so I can possibly get a script for low T. But I haven't decided yet. Thoughts or comments on this are welcome.
Ok...so next cycle. I'm going to keep it simple again. Test E, Exemestane, HCG. I think I"m going to exclude the Dbol this time (mostly because I forgot to order it this time). I also think I'm going to try Blast and Cruise this time. Maybe do 500 mg/week for 12 weeks, then drop to 150 a week. Thoughts? And, again, I'm going to do some HCG to keep the balls nice and round. I've never used it, so I'm going to have to do some research there. Advice on that stuff would be appreciated.
So....conclusions: The stuff I got was pretty legit, and I am happy with it. I'm happy with my gains. I'm happy that I finally did some research and was able to get the gains I did with little to no sides. I think I'm going to dig this...
Questions, comments and smart remarks always welcome.
