So i just finished week 1 of my tren/prop (100mg of both EOD) cycle, and here's how my week went if anyone's interested. I decided to hold off on running the clen/t3 until the end of the cycle, and stuck with the EC stack I've been using. I have a very long history of sleep issues going back to childhood, so I'm a little concerned that running the more powerful fat burners combined with the tren will make me a basket case.
Monday: First shot, everything went as expected in the gym with a typical chest/bi workout.
Tuesday: After a night of waking up every two hours, I arose Tuesday feeling like I was hit by a bus. My injection site (glute) hurt like hell and my whole body had an achy, flulike feeling. Sometimes when I wake feeling like this it will go away after breakfast and some coffee, but unfortunately for me, this wasn't one of those days. Tuesday is my leg day, so with great effort I trudged off to the gym and had a very poor workout, with all my lifts being significantly off my normal weights.
Wednesday: Decided to start taking Benadryl to help with sleep after the first night, and I managed to get four hours of sleep in before having to get up to pee. Then got in about another 2 1/2-3 hours of broken sleep after that. The thing I hate about sleep aids is that I usually feel very groggy the next day and never truly feel "awake". And that's how I felt on Wednesday. Took shot #2, off day from gym.
Thursday: My "flulike" symptoms were gone, but still felt very groggy and exhausted. Went to gym and trained shoulders, and was able to train with my normal weights. Took my typical short nap after training, but it did nothing to help with my exhaustion. Worked about five hours Thursday night.
Friday: Shot #3. Still feeling very tired. Back/tri day at gym, and once again, my lifts were off. Struggled to get 3x315 on my deadlift, when I normally pull 5x315 very easily. Decided to forego my normal dead weight progression and stuck with two more sets of 3x315. I had planned to work a little Friday night, but after getting myself ready , I quickly realized I was too tired to leave the house LOL. Luckily I only work parttime and make my own hours, so it's not a big deal.
Saturday: Still fucking exhausted. Hung at my pool with my daughter, too tired to work, off day from the gym.
Sunday: Decided to drop the Benadryl to see if that would help. Got a solid 6 1/2 hours of sleep and quite frankly this is the best I've felt since starting the cycle. Took shot #4, and getting ready to work. Another off day from the gym.
Hopefully, I've seen the worst of the sides and I'm looking forward to start seeing some good results in the gym this week, and I'm already feeling just a tad bit leaner. As I said in my first post, it's been quite a while since I've cycled, but I have to admit, going to the gym and being weaker while on gear was a new and unpleasant experience for me LOL.
