Just started my 4th week of my first cycle and my wife said.....

[BubbaEarl]

You are looking bulked up, especially through the back and shoulders. I have not told my wife what I was doing and she is not suspicious, she just noticed. I am doing a 10 week cycle 300 Test E, 200 Deca once a week. Am I going to bulk up significantly more? I have always gained muscle through my back and shoulders easier than everywhere else. I am trying to lean-up. I have not increased my caloric intake too much since I started. I would going for the cut-up look more than the bulked-up look. Thanks Brent

considering this is the 4th week of the cycle ... yea man, your blood levels have just reached a peak - blood concentration wise - you will keep gaining, 300mgs of test and 200 of deca is still about a half gram of anabolics ... to put this into perspective for you, a typical first time user of 500mgs of test will easily put on 20pounds of muscle in a 10week cycle when taking in sufficient calories ... obviously in a calorically deprived state your gains will slower and even halted if the deficiency is great enough ... so your gains will be controlled primarily by your diet ... now what your wife is probably noticing rigth now isnt fully muscle build, its most likely water weight gains caused by increased retention and elevated glycogen levels ... if you want to merely "cut" i would switch to high protein diet consisting of only one to meals involving simple carbs (ie bread, banans, fruits) get the rest of your carbs from vegetables like brocoli, carrots ... increase your protein intake ... and as long as your doing cardio atleast 3-4 times a week and using a training method revolving around highvolume sets - you shouid get cut up in not time ... clean diet + correct training + sleep = results anabolics in a true cutting diet will only retain mass ... the fact that you have increased your calories since starting this cycle is the reason your growing as much as you are -- if your worried about gaining too much - and want to fly under the radar - just adjust your diet as you seem fit ... its all in the eats bro .... you gain as much or as little as you want, look as cut or as bloated as you want simply by tweaking the diet ... its everything

I gained about 6 or 7lbs. of muscle, but it also looks like my body fat has decreased. I do not like keeping it from my wife, but she would not go for it at all, so it is my secret. I administer the cycle at work. I have my on office and just shut the door. I have worked on straight commission for 18 years. Nobody pays any attention to me as long as I bring in the business. My sex drive has gone through the roof. I am driving my wife crazy. We have been married for 14 years and have 3 daughters. I have trained for 20 years. I turn forty next week (4/1) and I am looking for an edge or a little help for the work I put in at the gym. I have always had a little sneaky side, but like I said, I would like to tell her. I am doing for my family all the time and glad to do it, but this is something that I am doing for myself. I feel better. It is an exciting experience. My wife and I are going to Jamaica for 6 nights 4-4 for my 40th birthday. It is going to be great. I am looking better, feeling better, and ready to have some fun. I get a hard-on just holding hands with my wife since I started this cycle. There will be no kids, sun and fun. I am going to even bring some cialis on the trip. Everything is going great so far.

Yeah i agree with what was said earlier. Adjust ur diet if u want to lean out. Deca isnt exactly the best steroid to use if u want to be lean. Deca causes a lot of water retention and bloat. I would also advice u to run the test 2 weeks longer than the deca to prevent an deca dick or shutodwn.

How do u plan to get ur gear to Jamaica???

[LayinLo]

Congrats.

Hope you have fun in Jamaica.

You may not even need the cialis....

[BubbaEarl]

I will not take any gear to Jamaica. I have been administering the cycle once a week every Friday. I am leaving very early on a Friday, I will just administer the cycle late Thursday the day before. I have some Winstrol I thought about taking, but probably won't. I do no need the cailis, especially since I started the cycle. I just plan to be real busy. Also, cailis gives the guy that doesn't need it just a little more ridgedness. Thanks for the congrats. Brent

Im glad the cycle is going so well for you. What Bman said is spot on. If you want to keep up your protein and drop your carbs a bit and make them greens mainly, you will hold a bit less water as well as shed a bit of fat. Also, to get rid of a bit more bloat (to keep the wife in the dark) make sure to get about 3 grams of Vit C, B6 and Dandelion root each day. It will keep you a lot dryer

I would not cut cals..i would eat huge and gain as much as possible..just tell the wife you got some stuff at gnc and you are eating more than usual.before you leave for jamaica let me give you some advice..up your test dosage before you leave..If you leave on friday then do normal dosage on monday before and do the same dosage again late thursday night..example..if you have been using 300 mgs test each week then do 300 mgs on monday and 300 on late thursday......

Is the reason for doubling the Test so I will be even more of STUD when I get to Jamaica? Now........ my wife would become suspicious if I started being able to do it 2 or 3 times a day for six straight days.

Yes..doubling the dosage is awesome on vacation..if you feel like superman now by doubling dose you will feel like superman on steroids ! And yes..you will want to have sex 2 x per day easily.Just tell the wife how much you love her and how much you needed this vacation...problem is when you come off your libido will drop below your normal range for awhile..then the wife may wonder what is going on.Gain all you can now because you will lose a good bit of it after cycle.

I don't know how you will be able to keep it from her, unless you are good at lying with a straight face even when it is almost completely obvious that you are on

she will wonder about the acne on your shoulders and back

she will wonder about your ball size shrinking

she might notice many other little things

I find it hard to not be called on it by coworkers, cant imagine trying to hide it from a wife that sees me naked every day

I am only doing 300 Test E and 200 Deca 1xweek for 10 weeks and Winstrol 50. My caloric intake has only gone up slightly. I am not susceptible to acne or baldness. She has noticed I want screw all time. i could deal with it if my cover was blown, I just do not want to have to. i would probably have to stop.

[jmills]

you know...I thought my wife would freak out too. I went thru the whole hiding shit thing, then just decided to talk to her about it. she respects my intellect, and she knows how health conscious I am...I explained my reasoning, showed her the research and asked for her support. she really surprised me and told me that aslong as I didn't turn into an asshole, I had her blessing. then, after a few months and a decent cycle she ordered herself a shit load of var, T3 and clen. completely surprised the hell out of me...but I aint complaining. I think its just a lot better if they find out from you...cuz they will find out. ill shut up now and wish you well bro, we are the same age and have pretty similar goals.
good luck,
jmills

[jmills]

I just gotta add this...having her know and support what im doing is worth more than I can say. I can talk to her about my bllod pressure, I can talk about my lifts and progress...and she helps, and she understands. hell, she even bought me one of those home electronic bp monitoring devices. its just so much better haing her "in my corner", and the trust that I showed in her to talk to her about it helped create a deeper bond between us...this after over 10 years together. think about it....
