Good/Bad Gear: How Do You Judge?

[IronInsanity]

If you dont mind II... can you tell us how your second cycle is going and your opinion on it?

Sure IC... here goes:

First some background...
- First cycle I think most of my gains were from eating. I did gain strength during the cycle so I don't think the test was complete bunk but just underdosed.
- Having gained some fat in the mid section I really didn't want to play the bulk/cut game on the second cycle.
- Probably can't call this an actual second cycle, as after 3 weeks from the first one I decided to go the TRT or blast/cruise route.
- I'm doing 500mg of test-e a week, with hCG and adex.
- I am currently eating at a deficit to reduce bodyfat. I figured out I was never gonna be a mass monster based on my frame and I don't like being fat. After I reduce my BF to around 9-10% I'll start eating at a slight surplus. I'd rather gain 5-7 pounds of lean mass over the next 3 months than 25 pounds of equal muscle, fat and water.

Early Results/ Indicators
- Using quads as injection site with ZERO issues of any kind. Did glutes the first time.
- I'm in my 4th week and as most have indicated starting in a few days I should start to see some changes in the gym even though I'm eating at a deficit. I've always had good success with maintaining strength levels when cutting.
- Libido is strong. I noticed some increase around week 3. I had bottomed out during the 3 weeks off and the first couple weeks back on. Woody through the night most nights lol. Didn't happen on first cycle.
- Getting my normal elevated BP but pulse has stayed fairly under control.
- Re early gains: I have gained 1.25" on my lower thigh since 9-1. This could be in part related to the gear, but I also had a meniscus injury that limited my leg work the past 3 months.

I'll give an update in a couple of weeks on how things are weeks 5-7.

This is the wat that I typically determine the qaulity of my gear

Typically Good gear I have injection site pain, depending on the ester you can typically determine how fast it has kicked in with simple things like morning wood and sex drive,
I typically can see after starting say a Test and Deca cycle by week 3 the scales show a 3-5 lb increase.

I have had badass gear in shitty bottles and fake ass gear in sealed boxes with barcodes and holograms

And as for the pain thing as well I have also had some gear that was completly painless and worked somewhat well, But Everything that I have had that was fake was completly painless prolly because it was straight cooking oil

I use Guys that I trust and dont ever have to worry about getting anything bunk again
