I went up felt like Superman and then I went down and I felt like dog and when you hear my story coming up you're going to realize I was so underprepared this video is for entertainment purposes only you could be someone out there that's on trt and considering jumping on your first cycle or you could be like me and just doing training for four or five years and then deciding to jump on and get as many gains as I could as quickly as I could this channel is all about giving you the truth through my
experiences and my knowledge of coaching guys through trt blasting gear PCT and making sure we enjoy ourselves on the cycle and not get any of those side effects if you've got any questions for me I've got a private secure email in the description box below reach out ask me anything and I'll reply with you within 24 hours getting gains on cycle is so easy any monkey can do it but it's coming off cycle and staying healthy and retaining those gains that you built so let's see what I did in my first cycle it was back
in 2010. I'd really maxed out my genetic potential or so I thought I was religiously training I was doing a diet which I thought at the time made sense I was so committed but I just wasn't getting the results that I thought I deserved so I had a friend who was a bit Pally with the gym owners and he introduced me and then I ended up one way or another jumping on test of iron and deca and they gave me some Nova as well this ran me about 500 quid remember this is back in 2013
and I had no idea what I was getting myself into I was too scared to ask the guys that I got the gear off what the hell do I do with this anyway I figured it out I started injecting and around about the third or fourth week boom that is when the gains hit the Decker kicked in test kicked in I was fired up every lift over the course of my cycle was just going up at rates that I couldn't even understand I was coming in five kilos on the bar next time five years on
the bar over the whole cycle I think I put around about 50 kilos on all my big glyphs so I experienced so much strength in the gym and outside the gym the attention from all the girls was insane everyone wanted to feel my arms know what I was getting up to in the gym I was like a superstar I loved every moment until it was time to come off and that is when everything went downhill and this is why I want to share with you all my mistakes I don't want this happening to you I
don't want you going up like a rocket and then just burning out and then just going lower and lower and lower that's how I experienced my first cycle so going back these are the things knowing what I know now that I would change I had bad organization at no clear schedule I did not have a diet that was actually proven I thought I knew what I was doing but I have no clue in terms of the eating protocols when to prepare my meal my workouts were not written down that is so basic I had no
clear system to fall on when my discipline let me down which it did a lot I would have enjoyed my cycle so much more if I'd got those priorities set them in stone and then live my life around them because I did not experience the results that I could have even though I got incredible results my lifts and everything went great I still put on a large amount of Waterway and that was mainly down to my poor eating habits because there were times where I felt tired and I could not be bothered to prepare my
food so it comes down to a lack of organization we need to be organized we need to have good habits and then you can actually use the steroids to be a supplement to your training your nutrition and your sleep and your recovery it all goes full circle we can't just add load of gear in and then just expect it to be magic it doesn't work like that it's a lifestyle you want to be a better man overall and you're supplementing the extra testosterone the test of iron or whatever you take to make your life better
on all fronts I would have done less gear less dosages knowing what I know now this held me back two or three years down the line because my dosage was so high at the start I went for 500 milligrams and with the DECA added in I was on too much gear I did one Miller Decker on the Monday and one on the Thursday as well way too much this should have been maybe three or four Cycles in maximize that low dosage as much as you can get through your cycle and then reflect on what you
did so my first cycle I would have dropped the dosage to 250 mg per week and then in my second cycle perhaps I would have upped the dosage to 375 of tests I would have locked down my diet made sure my recovery was good making sure that I'm an actual Progressive training program not I'm just going in the gym and just swinging any weights around this cycle as I said should have been three four five Cycles in the test and Decker combo incidentally I'm on test and Decker at the minute and after 13 years I'm
on a lot less of those compounds than I was in my first cycle I should have done a cutting diet first I started my cycle around about 16 body fat I could have been down to about 10 12 and then I just wouldn't have ballooned out I also could not walk further than maybe one or two kilometers without my lower back hurting because I'd put on so much weight so quick I would have spoke to my girlfriend so she knows when I'm pinning she knows that I'm going to share everything with her because that's what
we have to do with our partners and it's not a case of saying babe can I do gear and be in one of these really wet men no you're asking for her support because you want to get jacked maybe you've got low test levels and you want to really fulfill your potential as a man and pack on some muscle and size that's your dream that's your goal ask yourself if she had some kind of goal to look physically more attractive feel better about herself would you let her do it if she had an operation generally
most girls do they have a boob job BBL or something get their lips done would you be the one to hold her back from her dreams well no there are the roles are reversed at that point you wouldn't hold her back so why should she hold you back and that's what I didn't understand I thought my girlfriend at the time when I did my first cycle would be looking to hold me back looking to be oh this is dodgy you shouldn't be doing it it's completely natural if you share it with her so honesty is
the best policy and then you can organize your schedule around it because your sex drive is gonna go through the roof she needs to be aware of this she needs to be working out more she needs to be getting Fitter do stretching she's going to actually benefit from this because she's going to see you accelerate with everything that you're doing with your motivation with your meal prep with your training with your recovery with your discipline you are going to become a better man and she's going to see this and it's going to be obvious okay
so it's important if I did my first cycle again I would share it with whoever I'm going out with or my wife or whoever's closest to me it's going to be obvious if you're getting those gains now this was a huge mistake that I made and it was to do with not hitting the like button hit that like button brother give me a double bicep hit that like button and let's crack on with the video it's important to experience one compound at a time so run test as your first cycle review it okay what's my
dosage okay so 250 was good was I optimizing my diet my nutrition yes I was okay now we bump it up to three seven five next cycle you do the same and maybe you add in something else you add in another compound depending on your goal obviously if you want to bulk you'd add Deca EQ you'd have the calories in place make sure you're eating enough food or if you're doing a cutting cycle maybe anavar Primo something like that so it's in important to run one compound get experience on that one compound and then after
your cycle try and make everything better the next time I didn't have a program that was holistic I did no cardio I did no stretching I barely warmed up I just went straight into it I didn't progressively overload my lifts I didn't understand about reps in reserve I didn't deload I didn't have any clue around the training side of things all I did was went a hundred percent every single session this led to a lot of muscular imbalances and my physique was not aesthetic I just looked like a refrigerator now from my last cycle I
have just focused on the delts I've just put everything else down to maintenance dosage and I went hard and heavy on the delts and they've grown a lot back then I was just all about size but if you are looking for your first cycle I do recommend you build that Foundation of strength on those heavy lifts less isolation stuff squat Deads all the comp how moves whilst eating in a calorie Surplus and on one compound so we're looking to gain the weight slower because I did not luckily get stretch marks but I gained 14 kilos
in 14 weeks too fast for me personally I like to gain even slower because I prefer leaner gains I don't want to put a ton of water weight on because it affects your feet your back your knees your joints your blood pressure your heart everything you are risking your health I would have had an aromatized inhibitor protocol I was taking Nova and that funny enough knowing what I know now actually increases the sensitivity of your progesterone receptors so I should have stopped taking Nova immediately so always have an AI in place from the get-go my
guys that I coach especially if they're higher body fat we always have an AI from the start because the higher your body fat the more chances you're gonna maybe experience gyno and I have a certain protocol that I use or go over in another video but this was not even thought about by me back then I didn't have a PCT protocol on cycle and I should have run HCG on my cycle to increase my testosterone production my estrogen production and overall keep my testicles working because I didn't know about this I just didn't do it
and I really really struggled post cycle running HCG on cycle is going to ensure your fertility in the long run it also promotes neurosteroid production this is going to lower your stress levels I was so stressed after the cycle finished I had a complete meltdown I think I had depression anxiety I was so shut down I came alive after about a two-month period but I didn't need to be like that it could have been two weeks I really struggled because I did not have my PCT protocol in place my eating stopped I couldn't sleep properly
I was shut down very hard it led to me losing a ton of gains I went completely Bonkers I started doing cycling I had injuries all over me my elbows my shoulders my knees because I'd lifted too heavy too soon and I actually went down close to 80 kilos I lost 24 kilos all because my mind was messed up I had such low estrogen levels I was getting emotional all the time I was irritable achy joints I was just in a world of pain for two months after the cycle so I went up felt like
Superman and then I went down and I felt like dog and I think it's all because I didn't have the right environment around me the people around me who were they there was no one the guys in the gym I was scared to speak to they might have helped me if I reached out and actually showed them the kind of situation I put myself in but I was too scared to say anything I didn't have the confidence the lack of knowledge made me lose all my gains but I did get experience and I learned from
my mistakes I did reflect and I went into it and did another cycle again and that went a lot better it takes time we want to slowly build our physique even on gear it's not about just ramming as much gearing as you can you can do that but you're going to suffer like I did and really do you want to be one of those guys that's doing a lot of gear but doesn't really look like he's on gear the goal is obvious isn't it do a tiny amount of gear to not risk your health and
get phenomenal results and have it as a lifestyle that your misses knows you're doing it and she sees it as a positive so many people in the world are not jumping on gear because they're so worried about what other people think get your blood work done before cycle so you know how much test you should be going on to start off you might be on trt or you might be going from nothing once you know your test levels that's what normally do my clients we can then figure out the perfect dosage for you because we
don't be doing too much gear we don't be doing too little there needs to be that sweet spot and remember when you're getting your test results done they're going to vary depending on your lifestyle so if you haven't optimized your natural test levels now I'd suggest you go out and do it optimize your levels get as much as you can naturally if you are natural at the minute and then jump on I never even considered this before my cycle I just thought right that bloke's massive that bloke's massive they're probably on gear let's jump on
guys what's your experience with your first cycle or maybe you're thinking about doing one put in the comments box below your dosage your gains how long you did it for did you run PCT what did you do really enjoy the video today guys I must say I never regret anything so I don't regret my first cycle my mindset is now it all happens for a reason consider doing the research reach out to me in my secure email if you've got any questions and I'll see you in that next video
