Day 12

Day 12 dianabol only cycle

A little stiffness this morning after a good stretch that went away, my right wrist has been aching the last couple of days and i believe this is down to the heavy lifting, i may buy a wrist strap today, just so i can support is sligtly when working out.

Shoulder worked was awesome and i managed to lift more then ever, strength is definately on the increase.

for the last couple of days everythjing i seem to get gets stuck in my chest i can only describe this feeling to be what i would call heart burn or some form of indegestion, whether this is related to the dianabol or not i do not know but the same happened when i used superdrol in the past.

My upper body is feeling like it has gotten bigger my work shirts are getting tighter around the armpit / back area and when i stand up straight my shoulders look like they stick out slightly, after workouts i feel like superman and look massive, i am loving dbol and so far so good.

Day 11

Day11
Chest workout went excellent today my strength and recvery from each set is significantly increased and the pump feeling is apparent after each set, the soreness after each set goes quickly and i felt refreshed and ready to do more.

After the gym a looked in the mirror and i am noticing muscles starting to appear that were not visible before. I have started noticing my pecs appearing and they stick out slightly when wearing a t shirt.

5 minutes on the sunbed again today made me feel really good again, i musct suffer from this seasonal disorder because i have always felt better in the summer months.

My wisdom teeth are still hurting and i finding it hard to eat now, i want to avoid painkillers because the dianabol is already going to have an impact on my iver without adding another substance.

Day 10

Day 10 is here, i woke up feeling a little sore this morning from yesterdays back blasting workout, i added a few extra sets of pull ups the wide grip ones and find my lats are hurting today, which is a good sign as i know i worked them out hard.

the past couple of days my gyms at the back of my mouth have been aching and i have a flap of skin appearing i believe this to be an aggrevation of my wisdom teeth, when doing my research i read that this could be a possibility. Apart from that no real side effects are apparent so far.

Day 9

Dianabol day 9

Woke up this morning full of energy and excited about training today, the past weeks results in terms of gains has motivated me to try harder this week and hopefully gain more mass and reduce some fat around the belly area, i know i said i wasnt worried about it before, i really want a more defined look around the mid section.

Workout we excellent today and its weird because usually i am tired by the end of it but it seemed that me back and biceps just wanted more and more after each set, i think i can safely say that the dianabol is working now.

I tried one of my t shirts on today and it felt tight around the armpit / back area either i have grown a little or its shrunk in the wash either way its a good feeling to know that i must be growing.

Day 8

Its monday morining again and the first day of my second week dianabol only cycle, its an off day from training today so i am going to use this day just to relax and spend the day researching on the internet.

The picture was taken this morning first thing before breakfast and so was the weigh in.

Todays weight 201lbs

I was pretty impressed with the scale reading i have gone from 190 - 201lbs in a weeks, i guess a lot of that is water weight but still for me its excellent, i am only going to take body meausrements every two weeks so i will do that next monday.

Todays meals

0700 cereal, banana & apple
1000 Meat filled pasta and cheese
1200 Rice and chicken
1500 Pizza, pasta &salad
1700 Protein shake
1900 sandwich

I started feeling a little sick this afternoon and evening so i couldnt consume much for my evening meals, i dont believe this to be related to the dianabol in anyway as there is a bit of a sickness bug going aroind at the moment so what i am going to do is jack up the vitamin c a little to try and help out my immune system.

Day 7

End of week 1 summary

I cant believe its the end of the week almost it has gone really quick. Chest and triceps work out went well today i was not sore at all in the morning from the back workout yesterday just a bit stiff when i initially woke up but after a quick stretch this went away. Its the last day of 25mg dianabol and tomorrow i step it up to 30mg. I think it has definately kicked in now and i am noticing quicker recovery times from the gym which is good.

Now the dianabol has kicked in in the next few days if my research is correct i should notice increased feelings of euphoria and an increased pump in the gym. It has taken about 6 days for the effects to kick in, however with a larger dose this may have happened sooner. My nutrition needs to improve and i need to increase my protein intake and add extra calories to my diet in order to gain more mass.

I am going to increase my cardio levels slightly as i am so unfit and are getting out of breath easy when lifting weights which is not good so i am going to do atleast 20minutes of some form of cardio daily even if its walking or something. A lesson learnt from this week is always keep back stock of protein powder incase another accident happens, i have got some more now so i am set for the week to come, i will weigh myself etc tomorrow and post the results.

Day 6

Day six is here, the first week is almost over, it has gone really quick so far, its was back and biceps day today, i have a really good workout and hammered my back and biceps, my muscle felt full after the workout with a better pump then usual, could this be the dianabol kicking in?

I cant wait to get onto the scales again on monday i think i have put on some weight already as just looked massive in the mirror after the gym, i actually look like a body builder all my muscles were pumped and full and i looked good, although this effect will go away eventually its nice

i used the sun bed again today only for 5 minutes as my skin is still really white and i dont want to over do it and end up burnt do i.

Meals

0700 Cereal (pre workout)
0900 yoghurt, fruit, banana, porridge
1000 Protein drink
1100 chicken and chips
1600 Sandwich
1900 Rice, chicken and bacon


My local store is still out of protein powder so i am going to go on a mission later and get some from another town. I got an instant sachet from the gym just to use for today untill i replace my stock.

its now evening and i dont ache at all from my gym session this morning maybe its the dianabol kicked in? ill update tomorrow

Day 5

Ok so its day 5 of my first oral only anabolic steroid cycle, and its a rest day today which is well needed i am shattered after the last couple of days training and eating etc it will be nice just to not have to do anything. I am working earlys at work at the moment so i have to get up crazy early so i will be looking forward to going to bed tonight.

I am not going to document meals today as it was identical to yesterday with the evening meal being chicken pie, potatoes and veg.

Not anything else to report today, looking forward to tommorows workout, back and biceps.

Day 4

ok so its day 4 today, cant believe how fast the week is going, i woke up this morning feeling refreshed and no soreness is apparent which is good as its shoulders and legs day today.

Shoulder workout went fairly well and i got a good maybe even better then normal pump from it, my shoulders felt swollen and huge after workout which i believe is a good sign, i really think i am gonna be sore in the morning just got that feeling.

Meals

0500 ceral, yoghurt, apple, roll
0900 Apple, banana
1200 meat sandwich
1500 chicken and pasta
1800 spag bol
2000 bowl of mixed fruit and nuts and yoghurt


My local store had run out of protein powder, this is not a good start, but have promised they should have some tomoorow so fingers crossed they will, as i dont want to be starving my body of protein when trying to gain muscle. If they dont have any i will just have to go travelling at the weekend to find some.

Dianabol is still being taken at roughly the same times each day it will be easier next week when the dose has increased so i do not have to split tablets up.

Day 3

Ok its day 3 of my oral only cycle. Waking up this morning i am so sore, all my muscle feel stiff especially around the chest and armpit area, its a good job that i am not training today as would not be able to lift anything. I didnt want to get out of bed this morning and had a bit of a lay in which is what i needed to recharge my batteries.


For cardio i just did a twenty minute jog around my local park with the dogs, nothing to hard as am pretty tired from yesterday i have spent a good amount of time stretching out my muscles in an attempt to loosen off a little.

Meals


0900: yoghurt, cereal, 2 x hot cross buns, apple, banana
1200: Tuna and cucumber sandwich, carrots and fruit
1500 Progain weight gainer
1700 new potatoes, chicken in sauce, vegatables
1900 bowl of mixed nuts

Not really noticing any effects yet, still feeling sore after workout so its apparent that the dianabol has not kicked in yet, i am expecting from what i have read to start feeling the effects and noticing improved recovery times etc by the end of this week / next week at the latest. It maybe that the inital dose of dianabol is to low this week to have any great effects but i do not want to increase it as want my body to get used to it slowly and in its own time.

I need to purchase some more protein powder i have only been able to have i dose today due to a little accident with the open tub, hopefully this will not effect things to much and i will purchase some more hopefuly tomorrow from my local store.

I have also been persuaded to start martial arts classes with a friend which start on friday so i guess that will help with my fitness levels and shave off some excess bodyfat.

Day 2

Ok so its day two of my dianabol only cycle. Managed to wake up on time this morning so had breakfast before the gym, hopefully this will give me more energy. Back and neck feel a little sore this morning which was expected as had a hard workout yesterday. I loosened up before training this morning with more of a stretching routine then i normally do simply to try and over come the soreness from yesterday.



Chest and Tricep training went well and i felt really pumped after the gym. I do like the pumped up feel when your muscles feel really big and tight makes all the effort put into training them worth it.



I had a quick game of squash post workout nothing to strenuous just a friendly game or two which last approx 20minutes which means i have workout for about an hour and a half today. My whole routine is only ment to take about 50minutes but the gym was busy so had to wait a little longer to get on some of the benches.

Post workout i had a sunbed session only 5 minutes but felt really good after like spending the whole day in the summer sun. lovely. I am not going to over do it though just have a session every now and then to begin with.

My meals were as follows

0700 Cereal + Yoghurt + fruit (pre workout)
0900 2 x rolls, protein shake, fruit (post cycle)
1200 2 x quarter pounders and salad
1500 Progain weight gainer
1700 Chicken breast and rice
2100 Bowl of mixed nuts and yoghurt



I think i need to start consuming more food and protein but i wont up my quantities untill next week so i can give my body time to adjust to the extra protein i am giving it. The dianabol was split at meal times and i have had no upset stomach so far today. The burgers were not a good idea but had no access to anyother foods. Think i might get some protein bars for when i need food but have none. Again i have not noticed any extra feelings in the gym or out, but i guess its only day two.

2330 i am about to go to bed, its a rest day from weights tomorrow but i may do some cardio i am getting concerned that i am unfit so will work on my fitness levels tomorrow, i may throw in some pull ups for good measure.

Day 1 (dianabol only cycle)

Ok its monday and day 1 of my dianabol only cycle, i woke up late this morning as forgot to set my alarm so i was late for the gym meaning i didnt get time for breakfast before so i spent working out hungary. i still had a good workout training back and biceps which lasted about 50minutes, i didnt do any cardio today as just didnt have time, and i plan on doing lots tomorrow as have a game of squash lined up after my workout.

I really hammered my biceps today and writing this at the end of the day they still feel a little sore.

I consumed the dianabol in 3 doses as i have 10mg tabs i had to get one in half to get the 5mg. i had the dianabol divided at the following times:

7.30am 10mg - (before training)

11.00am 10mg

16.00pm 5mg

tomorrow i will probabily look at spacing it out a bit more. No effects were apparent from the dianabol and i feel as i normally do, obviously its to early to tell.

Meals:

0700 - bowl of fruit and yoghurt (before gym)
0900 - Progain weight gainer shake (post workout)
1100 - Full cooked english breakfast
1500 - Promax protein shake
1700 - Pizza and salad
1900 - Fruit smootie and porridge oats

2300 - Bed

I have had a little stomach upset today but i believe its just my body adjusting to the extra food, tomorrow i will consume the dianabol with food to stop any stomach upset from that.

1 day to go

Ok so i start my first anabolic steroid oral only cycle tomorrow, am i nervous? yes a little but very excited my motivation is on a high and i cant weight to hit the gym, i know results are not going to come on the first day and may have to weight a week before i see any results. I have not trained for a week as i have been extremly busy and wanted to prepare my body for the cycle by resting it as its going to be hard work over the next couple of weeks. I have got all my supplements and dianabol ready to go.

I have recently recieved a PM on the forums about why i am doing this who blog thing. Basically my answer is i have never been able to motivate myself to consistantly training and have never tracked results or gym progress in anyway and that is why i have failed in the past. By keeping track of my success online i will be more motivated and hopefully get encouragement from readers to keep me motivated throughout.

Before stats

Ok here are my 'before my first anabolic steroid cycle stats'. Honestly i look a bit better then the pictures make out but you get the idea. The picture was taken today 19/01/2008.

Before the end of the cycle i plan to get rid of the body hair and hopefully develop a slight tan from sun bed sessions which will start the same time as my cycle. As you can see from the before photo i am holding a little fat around my sides i am not to worried about this and will cut up post cycle to try and loose it and get some definition especially around the stomach area ladies love the six pack after all.


My beginning stats are as follows:

R BICEP (Flexed) 38.5cm
L BICEP (Flexed) 37.5cm
Waist 64cm
Weight 190lbs

Everything else is to be recorded visually through photos which as explained earlier will be taken once a week on the monday.

My training plan

Ok basically i intend to use the following training split for my workouts:


Day1: Back / Biceps
Day2: Chest / Triceps
Day3: OFF
Day4: Legs / Shoulders
Day5: OFF
Day6: Repeat

Hopefully sticking to this should be easy but as i work shifts i may have to alter it slightly throughout the cycle.

For each exercise i plan on doing:
1 set 12 reps
1 set 10 reps
1 set 8 reps
1 set 6 reps
1 set 4 reps
So thats 5 sets in total, i will have to increase the weight on the bar each time so i can do no more then the number of reps set.
For cardio i play squash twice a week and will aim to do a 10minute warm up and 10 minute cool down before and after each weight workout. I will rest for about 30seconds between each set, and consume a protein shake immediatley after each workout.

As for the exercises i will start off using the following:

Chest / Triceps
Dumbell bench press
Incline dumbell press
Flyes
Dumbell pullovers
Tricep pull downs
Close grip bench press
Dips x 30

Back / Biceps
T bar rows
Pull ups x 30
Close grip cable rows
Wide grip pull ups x 30
barbell curl
Incline dumbell curl
Hammer curl

Legs / Shoulders
Shoulder Press
Laterals
Front raises
Leg Press
Leg Curl
Calf extention
Upright rows

Legs are my weak point as i have water on the knee and cannot walk without limping so i will not be able to do heavy weights when it comes to leg workouts.

Supplements and meals

Ok so my goal is to gain weight, i suffer from some digestive problems so i normally find it hard to eat alot. My daily meals will look similar to this sort of set up:


Meal 1: Breakfast
Meal2: Protein shake
Meal3: Lunch
Meal4: Protein shake
Meal5: Dinner
Meal6: Snack


As you can see i am going to supplement my diet with protein shakes i am going to use Progain by maximuscle for this its a weight gainer which i dont mind the taste of and is low in lactose so dose not upset my stomach as i am lactose intolerant.

For each meal i aim to consume around 500-600 calories in the form of protein and carbohydrates, im not going to count calories just eat what i feel is enough. I will keep track of what i eat in my daily logs.

Other supplements i am going to use are as follows:
Digestive enzymes
Vitamin c 500mg chewable
Saw Plametto
Zinc 25mg
Hawthorn berry

The viatmin c and zinc is to help keep my immune system working well, i take this all year round to combat any colds i may get.
The saw plametto is to help combat any potential prostrate issues from the dianabol
Hawthorn berry is to help lower my blood pressure to avoid any possible nose bleds etc whilst on the cycle.

A little bit about me

I am 25 years old and I have been training on and off for about 2 years, and have made some resonable gains in that time, i am sick and tired off the skinny look and want to add some size to my body particularly around the upper body chest, biceps, shoulder area. I am not bothered about gaining any fat whilst on cycle as i am naturally really skinny and can lose bodyfat easier then i can gain weight.
i would describe myself as a hardgainer.

I have been batteling to gain weight over the last year and have just addopted the technique of eating anything and everything. My weight has gone from 170lb - 190lb in a year and thats just from eating loads, and taking various supplements. I work shift work so my training days have never been consistant and have been on odd days here and there, i try and train about 3-4 times a week at the moment. Although looking at me you would not be able to tell i have real problems gaining and keeping muscle so hopefully this cycle will give me a kick start.

Introduction

My First cycle (oral only cycle)


This site is like my diary or journal for my first anabolic steroid cycle, i will make daily posts keeping track of my thoughts feelings and progress throughout, taking body part measurements and weight every week. I have decided that steroids is the next step for me to take i want to increase my muscle mass and improve my body in a short space of time. I do not want to use injectable steroids so i have opted to try an oral only steroid cycle. For this i am going to use dianabol only. For information on dianabol then please click here.



My start day is going to be monday the 21st jan 2008 and will last for 8 weeks in total. The cycle will look something like this:



Week 1 25mg dianabol

Week 2 30mg dianabol

Week 3 30mg dianabol

Week 4 40mg dianabol

Week 5 40mg dianabol

Week 6 30mg dianabol

Week 7 30mg dianabol

Week 8 25mg dianabol

Week 9 Start PCT cycle


I aim to keep track of my progress through pictures and measurements which will be taken on the monday of every week. My goals for the cycle is to gain as much weight as possible with the aim to gain around 15lbs if possible. For training i tend to do high volume training and my workouts will be summerised on each day as to what exercises and how many sets are performed.


I am doing this cycle to increase my strength as currently its pretty shit to be honest i have not trained for a while and feel weak, and to gain weight. I am hoping that all of these combined will increase my confidence and change my lifestlye. I have been training on and off for about 2 years and have decided to take it seriously i need something to motivate me into training consistantly and eating a bodybuilders diet so i feel this cycle will help me to do that and hopefully reach my goals.



I am in no way trying to sell any product nor do i promote the use of steroids this site is simply my online diary i am keeping to track my progress and if you want to follow along with me then you are welcome to do so.
