Friends from Twitter

TheSteroidExperiment — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 23:32:36 +0100

I just thought I would give a quick write-up of some of the interesting people I'm following on twitter. To be honest there's an aweful lot of rubbish and mindless advertising. I use twitter for quick feeds of information, as well as tieing it up to my blog to notify users of new blog postings, as well as posts fed from www.mynetdiary.com.

Weight Chart for Past 30-Days on Testosterone Enanthate (up to week 6)

TheSteroidExperiment — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 00:27:22 +0100

Quick post of my weight to change for the past 30-days on Testosterone Enanthate. It should be noted that I'm also running 0.5mg of Arimedex every other day, so that should be keeping water retention down.

I need to retrospectively input data from before I was using MyNetDiary to track weight so you can see weight change even before the cycle (where it came down to reduce body fat).

Back on Track with The Steroid Experiment

TheSteroidExperiment — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 23:56:56 +0100

Pleased to report that as of last week I'm back on track with the experiment. The previous week I was ill for a number of days, which pretty much rendered that week useless in terms of training, and I was also away with the family for the weekend. This was pretty annoying considering from what I've read, this is when things start to kick in.

However, happy to report that last week went well, and the weight is obviously starting to go up now (will be posting soem graphs soon)! According to the scales (which we can take with a pinch of salt) bodyfat is up aproximately 1% although it does tend to fluxuate.

All food is continuing to get logged on MyNetDiary and training on iFitness (so I can run reports of that as well).

Illness Hinders Progress on Steroid Cycle

TheSteroidExperiment — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:37:21 +0100

Just entered into week 4 yesterday, which is the point I would expect to start seeing some results visually (the weights have been going up a bit). However, I've caught a bug (upset stomach and aching) for the last few days (left work early Tuesday, day in bed yesterday, and today). My calorie intake for the last few days has also dropped as I can't stomach any food. Obviously I haven't trained either since Monday. Been trying to just sleep it off and allow my body to repair itself. Fingers crossed I'll soon be up and running again soon (no longer aching at least) and can crack on with the training again.

More Calories Required - So More Supplements In :-)
