My end of cycle thoughts, stats and pics

[gruvi]

Test E 500mg p/w weeks 1-17
Eq 400mg p/w weeks 1-13
50mg proviron throughout
Stanazol 50 mg eod weeks 9-15
Arimidex throughout
Total of 17 weeks
Currently on PCT.
From week 1-5 I noticed nothing to comment about.
Weeks 6-8 I started to "feel" something working.
Week 8&9 I started to see big changes. By the time my Eq ran out at week 13 I was wishing I had more as the gains I received and saw were outstanding. I'd say to run the Eq for no less than 14 weeks, this shit is the bomb.
All around me were commenting how much I had grown and how great I looked.
During my cycle I had to overcome injuries and the flu twice and still the end result was nothing short of amazing.

Pros: Obviously gains in size strength, vascularity and confidence. Also libido was through the roof.:cool:

Cons: Minor acne. Stanazol caused some......err dysfunction.:o

Biggest gains were
shoulders, from 53 inches to 56
chest, 45 inches to 49
arms, from 17inches to 18.5

Opening weight 95.9 kgs/ 211 pounds

Closing weight 105 kgs/ 231 pounds
Unsure of bf % but its low. Don't have much on me that jiggles.:D

Before:
60976098

After:
609961006101

Tweety bird haha I didnt notice until i went back and looked. I dont know why thats funny but it is.

Nice work bro. 20 pounds without gaining the fat is tough.

[kalliste]

great job pal!

[giff]

you look great gruvi a real good improvement....lets hope you nail the pct and keep those gains... good effort

[sTaTic]

great before and after. At first, I saw just the top two pictures and assumed those were the before and after. I said, to myself, you look the same :) then I scrolled down a bit and said shit... now that's progress :D great work man

[blazen2000]

Those are some really badass pix. Wow. Big gains.

[joe4fsu]

Good job gruv!

[MRDevious]

Hahaha, I did the same thing. Saw the first two and didn't see a difference......thought you were out of your mind for posting you received comments......and then I scrolled down and saw the rest. Good job!

[Squelchy]

Nicely done! You look an assload bigger. How tall are you? You look roughly the same build I was before I stopped training over a year ago, but you're a fair bit heavier so I assume you must be taller.

[gsxrjut]

Whats more impressive is how lean you manged to stay. Very well done

[Gambit]

Nice job. I seem to be a slower responder to gear too. 6-8 weeks is when I start taking off too. It really makes me re-consider 12 week cycles. Then again, I go light and don't run more than 500-600 mg total gear EW.

[rhinofight]

You can def see that 20lbs. Looks like even more. Nice gains.

[BigPoppa87]

Great job!

[PTE23]

[panther#1]

You and tweety look great. Way to go Aussie!

Hahahahaha. Dont wanna name names but there have been members to post before and after pix that have given me this very same conclusion. Thanks sTaTic.

Dieting on cycle was the hardest thing I had to endure. More than the injections or constant sex cravings.:D
I'm a big food man so little to no carbs, no sweets ie. chocolates, ice cream drove me loony. The Eq is a monster at making you hungry. More suited to mass gain cycles.
Honestly I gained more than I wanted but hey, who's complaining.:D

[The BB Monad]

Looking damn good bro! Keep it up bro and keep us updated.

[zznwhs]

Nice job gruvi! 20 lbs of lean tissue in one cycle is awesome.

[Matt Rock]

Great job so far Gruvi, now the real work begins =)

Good luck on your PCT, please let us know how you fare.

[Alin]

Those are some very nice gains. Those before and after pics are great.

[ronnie]

good job,you made alot of progress.were you using balkan gear?.

[Squelchy]

Nice job. I seem to be a slower responder to gear too. 6-8 weeks is when I start taking off too. It really makes me re-consider 12 week cycles. Then again, I go light and don't run more than 500-600 mg total gear EW.

Why don't you frontload then?

[gruvi]

Thanks to all you guys here for the great feedback. This was to me the hardest part of coming to the end of my cycle. Knowing I was gonna post before and after pics before my peers was very scary for me. Wasn't to keen on being judged and criticized. Though you bros have been awesome. Thanks all.

You negged me for my anal steroids post, but you look good bro. Keep it up. Atleast I wasn't negged by some pussy ass bitch!

[TurboR1391]

Wholly crap you got big as hell.

[musclemd]

[lostwars]

good effort and understand the cravings u refered too, going without carbs can drive u crazy, a mate of was 2 days before a compo and was going without carbs,he was filling up his car with petrol and he forgot to replace the petrol pump and began to drive off with it still in the car, damn near destroyed the place...
i miss my mars bar badly when dieting , eat one everyday
keep up the progress friend

[musclesource]
