First off, I'd just like to thank Sub_Z3ro for his Dbol only journal, as I found it very informative. This is going to be my first cycle. A lot of people have seem to have questions about dbol so hopefully this journal can answer some of those questions. Anyway, I'm currently 190lbs, at about 13% bf. I'd like to keep at least 10lbs from this cycle. I'm going to be taking 30mg/day for the first 2 weeks and then, provided no signs of sides, I'll up it to 40mg/day for the last 4 weeks (just to finish it off). I plan on spacing my doses as follows: 20mg an hour before workout, 10mg before bed. If 40mg, then I'll take the other 10 sometime mid day. I'm taking it in paper form, so no pinkies for me. I've got Nolvadex for PCT and a bunch of Trib and ZMA to help boost natural test levels after cycle.

My nutrition is pretty good. Typical day is as follows:

Breakfast: 4 eggs raw (too lazy to cook 'em), cereal, 2 peices whole wheat toast.
Pre-Workout: Protein Bar
Workout: Gatorade to keep carbs up
Post Workout: Myoplex Deluxe MRP
Lunch: 2 Tuna Sandwiches
Linner: Steak/Chicken, Pasta, Spinach
Dinner: Steak/Chicken, Pasta, Spinach
Bedtime Snack: Whey/Casein Shake

If I get hungry sometime in the middle of the day I usually add a bowl of grits. I also take 5g Creatine a day, and 2 multivitamins.

I train 5 days a week. No cardio while I mass up. My split is Abs/Chest/Back, Shoulders, Legs, Arms. The 5th day is a miscellaneous where I throw in Abs/Calves/Forearms so that they get hit twice a week.

I plan on taking pics once a week to chart the progress. I'll post my pre-cycle pics tomorrow.

Wish me luck!

Sorry about the delay. Here are the pics.

Well, this is day 4. So far I haven't noticed much of a difference. Actually, I've lost some endurance cause I came off the creatine. I have noticed much better sleep though. I sleep like a log now and have wicked dreams. I went to the Dr. before starting the cycle to get baseline values for my hGH, free testosterone, liver values, and thyroid values. It turns out I have low testosterone according to the Dr. Something like 34 units, where normal is 40 - 80. He ran some more tests, for LH, FSH and ShBG. Get those back next week. Two things though. First, I'm wondering if free testosterone levels are low for a few hours after lifting, being used to transport protein to the muscles. The blood was taken about 2 hours after lifting. The reason I find this strange is, I've managed to put on almost 20lbs naturally in my first year. I'd have thought low test levels would hinder that. The second thing is the blood taken for the second tests was taken 2 days after I started my dbol cycle and therefore might screw up the data. Anyway, I'll keep you guys posted as to how things progress.

nice journal man, sounds interesting

will be keeping track of this

good luck and train hard!

Hi mate, it looks like you have gyno there, will you be taking anything like proviron or arimidex on cycle to make sure it doesn't flare up?

A lot of that has to do with lighting. That being said, my left nipple has always poked out a tiny bit, ever since puberty. However, that pic makes it look much worse than it is. In fact I'll do another one.

There we go. See, now it looks normal. Anyway, I keep a weeks worth of nolva on hand at all times. 60 mg day 1, and 40mg for the next 6. And I have more at home. As for height and age, I'm 5'10" and 24 years old. I've been training for one year.

Ok mate, but that is definitely gyno, just be careful. Keep track of it's size/tenderness etc during your cycle

just lil tip for ya guy. dbol has short half life. meaning after 2-3 hours dbol is outta your blood stream. itd be a good idea to keep the dbol concentration constant in your blood by poppin every 2-3 hours. have fun and hope u make huge gains. peace bro.

Its your life MM but I would advise against it, cos the body wont know how to retain muscle if you take em without having a strong natural base of muscle, and also keep up the eating otherwise it goes for ****.

MM despite what you think a years not long enough, instead of dreaming of how awesome you would look if you took drugs, spend that time improving your knowledge. With proper training,and especially for you good nutritional habits but as I said before its your choice and you're an adult.
