Andy's log (Test cycle - Update! (about time eh)

Andy1981iron · 21-01-2006, 02:03 PM

5 weeks ago my weight was 13st 10lbs, pretty lean at around 11% bf
(See Andy's pic thread)

Day 14 into my 250mg Omnadren E4D cycle and my first date with the scales. 14st 9lbs was the outcome bodyfat not increased too much, still a 33in waist.

Also down to doing some heavy leg work, my legs need bringing up to speed.

As cycle hasn't really kicked in yet I would say this increases is largely down to food, but the effects are just starting to be felt; slight strength increase, feeling a little hornier....and those bloody pumps!

Increasing water intake 10 fold to try to eliminate the back pumps and considering buying some taurine.

Ill keep you posted guys and will have pics mid-cycle.

*UPDATE* Took a cpl of pics tonight, this time with top off! Day 15

Above pic taken only a few weeks ago in same position as tonight's pic where I am about 14lbs heavier - for comparison.

Hey andy

not sure that water intake 10 fold is wise ! its dangerous to have too much water ! (leah betts....)

definitely give taurine a go, i had real bad back bumps on SD an the taurine seems to sort it out, also bananas, but not sure if potassium is proven to help back pumps... (tom/raz?)

Yo Nick.

I won't be literally increasing water consumption 10 fold, sorry for the confusion.

But i'm increasing it.

good pics Andy...ur looking lean mate

Thanks for the nice comments guys.

Only 5 days later and I weighed in at 14st 13lbs!

I honestly think the gain so far is just down to increased calories as I don't think the test has kicked in yet, feeling definate strength increases though.

I've been working hard on my grip strength recently too which was a big weak area, incorporating wrist rollers and using the 'gripper' things. Hopefully this will enable me to lift more weight because my grip has often failed before my strength....which isn't good!
