It's great how you didn't take the road closures and missed gym time as a negative. Just used it as a deload and not a set back. Great mindset. Love the prep and the plan going forward. Can't wait to see the results!!!
Bro, only 2 weeks in. These are not magic hormones. There is a reason we run them longer than a couple weeks, especially with long esters. After a 12 week cycle, if you are able to add a few extra pounds of lean muscle, that is a success. Not sure what you were expecting. You won't even have...
I like the planned next cycle brother. I am interested to see if you notice a difference between ramping test up vs just starting and staying at 500mg throughout.
