Hey Guys First I would like to thank each of you for your input, comments and advice! Every little question asked or answered on these forums does help people and helps me answer the million questions I have floating around in my head. The best part is all answers are explained in great detail.

I have just started my first ever cycle I’m currently running MTS test E and it is great!

I made my mind up ages ago but it took me a lot of reading and learning before I started my first blast I thought I would keep it pretty simple due to a big personal life change.

My first blast of TEST E for 16 weeks:

600mg test E " Twice a week
12.5 Aromasin - twice a week

Back ground :

I have been training roughly around 3 years now and competed in powerlifting under in my first two years. Most of my initial training was compound movements Dead Lifts, Squats and Bench along with assistance exercises that contribute to the 3 big lifts.
My PBs (all done in comp)
Dead Lift " 270 kg (1 rep)
Squat " 220 Kg (I rep)
Bench press (with a pause) " 120 kg (1 rep)
I weighed in at 77.6 kg (sorry I don’t do lbs)
I have managed to stay fairly lean (I think) though out my gym rat life I have added a few pictures

Diet

I’m not the best at this I have calculated all my macros and currently consuming P " 300 C- 500 F -80

My choice of food is as follows :

Meal 1 - Oats, Oat Bran, Whey protein, Peanut Butter and some honey
Meal 2 " Banana, whey
Meal 3 " Rice and Steak
Meal 4 - 3 whole meal pitta bread, Hamouse
Meal 5 " chicken rice
Meal 6 - whey

Most of my meals from 8am to 4pm I try and keep easy because my work life is busy and rarely have minutes to spare before I have to run for a meeting. I get my veg in as well in my steak and chicken meals. Sometimes I do get the odd cheat meal in but my cheat meals don’t have a designated day. Even when I cheat I tend to aim for quality food most of my cheat meals are from Nandos (never had chicken so cheap in South Africa)

Training

I have now moved away from the powerlifting side but I still lift heavyish
My training is as follows "
Back and chest

Quads, Hamstrings and calves

Shoulders and arms

My reps and sets fluctuate so I’m going to list a standard rep or set range. I aim for Max 8 minimum 6 reps unless I lift heavy when my ego is shoots higher than my brains .
Future

My aim is compete next year probably in mens physique or something I’m not sure yet and I admit I need to do loads of reading and research

I want to plan my next blast in advance to avoid confusion and problem later on in the year after my cruise

I’m sure many of you have experience and may have started the same way I am or something if anyone can help or advise I would really appreciate all the help and I do not take criticism to heart.

Damn man you already look crazy good without the hormones! What is your height?

Your physique is already very impressive, you just need to add some size and you will be perfect for mens physique. I would continue on with your test e blast till you reach a suitable weight for mens physique. I would introduce an oral being dianabol or anadrol and introduce equipoise at 500mg upping it to 1g over 1-2 months. For mens physique using equipoise is a must because of the shoulder capping and skin look you get. Once you have the size you need you will then want to cut down with trenbolone, masteron or primobolan and for an oral anavar, stanozolol or proviron.

Your aim for now would be to build up size, once you have the size you need then consider cutting and polishing your look.

Thanks for the great replies! tomorrow will end my second week on my Test E blast. I lack size which is the sad part in all my years of training. when I have a shirt on I don't look like I lift :(. I have more work to do on my triceps, shoulders (I'm cursed) lowers abs, calves and hamstrings. so far I think the test has started to kick in maybe my mind playing tricks on me but oh well I feel great. any ideas on food? should I eat more? I'm very particular when it comes to my look and I want to try and stay lean. I know I can't have everything!

sorry last post didn't cover the questions asked I'm 5ft 11 and these pictures were taken March 2015 so roughly 2 months ago when I wasn't taking anything. If any interests I can try my best to keep this post update as I go along and notice worthy gains.

Thanks I'm probably going to kill myself in the gym tonight cause of the confidence boost I got from your comment. As far as food goes should I continue eating the way I am or change things up a bit? since I started my blast I haven't changed anything diet wise although I am a lot more hungry now. Like Brimmy said I NEED TO GROW

I would say you are eating enough food that's almost 4000kcal. You will find you will gain some water weight, don't mistake this for fat, it's not fat and it will level out over time if your oestrogen is kept in range.

Thanks! so far I have been getting crazy pumps especially when I train back. since it's still my second week and due to virgin muscles I get some pip but I work around it. I'm Cycling VG and quads and time my legs days closer to when the the pain is Minimal. All good though I'm enjoying the over all effect of a quality product! I'll post a pic in a few weeks time feel free to comment/advise If I need to change anything. I'm not sure what my bf% is either

After 2 weeks the testosterone enanthate will be at a decent dose in your blood, 4 weeks you will be pretty much at 100%. The pip will die off soon assuming you're using quality hormones (MTS is some of the best I have used), I myself pin only quads and delts, you may find delts better I never get pip in delts.

If you think you are getting crazy pumps now wait till you try some dianabol or anadrol pre-workout, if I were you I would get my hands on an oral to chuck in your stack shortly, my personal favorite is dianabol but there is much discussion over dianabol vs anadrol, some prefer dianabol and other anadrol, anadrol seems to be a bit drier of a hormone.

Looking good here. I'm surprised you can't do that much on your bench with that physique.

yeah I don't get any more pip which is good because I can't think of anymore excuses for limping around at work. I had a read on Dbol and most of it was negative some calling it "Gyno in a pill" I will read more about it when I have time to spare. What week would you recommend I start an oral? I have just started week 3 my first pin for week 3 was yesterday (Monday). I have everything tracked on a spreadsheet that includes everything I notice during a week even if it's a little pip haha.

Thanks Mr Big! yeah sadly Bench Press has always been a slow progress and hopefully by the end of this blast all those numbers should increase

Fear mongering, dianabol is the greatest hormone for adding size in my opinion, if you have something on hand to control estrogen you don't need to worry. Maybe wait till the 8 week mark just so you have familiarized yourself with the test and you know what effects it has on you then add the oral and gauge the same. If you are worried about gyno go anadrol.

Epistane is an excellent oral, one of the best I have ran, be careful of fake epistane it has been harder to find after it was banned in the USA. Epistane gave me excellent strength gains and hardness/graininess to my muscle, I would consider it a dry hormone, in terms of lean muscle gains I cannot comment because every time I have ran it I was running a cocktail of other orals or cutting. Epistane I ran at 100mg ed, from what I've read of other peoples experience it is useless under 50mg a day and most people like 75-100.

Thanks for your help Brimmy!

I just finished my last pin for week 3 so far everything is great! I have not noticed any excessive water retention yet. I get crazy pumps in the gym, my strength has increased slightly I was repping deadlifts yesterday 230 for 5x5 felt a little tired due to a little cold I had this week, my recovery is amazing rest between sets is great as well.

so far so good! I'm convinced to throw an oral in but I will wait till about week 8 as advised.

I will add a few pictures in a few weeks and hopefully somebody can notice a change

week 4 now and loving it! my nipples got a bit sensitive and itchy but all sorted now just chucked in some Nolva 20mg and increased AI to EOD (Aromasin 12.5g. I have also noticed some testicular atrophy but nothing that's got me worried or should I be worried?

A guy I work with just came back form holiday and he noticed a difference straight away! My training sessions are great as well I'm naturally very vascular and now more enhanced because of the pumps I get.
