Hey, appreciate the concern, but you kinda come off as arrogant. However, based on your post, I went back and did some research and have modified my plan, and greatly appreciate your post.

I'm sure you were as ignorant as I am when you did your first cycle, and rather than ridiculing me, educate me, cause I got the gear coming in the mail, and I am going to use it.

So, new plan,

Test C 250 to 375
Ancillaries on hand if needed.

Going to just do the test C and keep the rest for the next cycle, as needed. I have Nolva, HCG, Proscar, and Clomid at the ready, but doubt I will need them.

More info, I'm 51, 6'2", 190 pounds, 15 percent BF. More interested in getting cut, but feel I need to add some muscle. I lift four times a week.

I am looking to add 10 pounds of muscle, then cut to 185 and get to 10 percent BF.

So RedMenace, rather than making fun of me, why don't you guide me in this journey?

Does this mean you have decided to drop the teen out of your cycle? You will need your Nolva and Clomid for PCT, but I am sure that is what you meant. I only use Nolva for my PCT, but everyone is different. Nolva is great for my gyno issues that I rarely experience from the use of Testosterone Enanthate, but that's only if I am using over a gram a week.

Depending on how much TC you purchased, you should bump it up to 500 mg/wk split into two weekly injections of 1 ml each. Adex isn't really a bad idea to have on hand for the test.

If this is your first cycle, keep the tren at bay for this cycle as well as your next cycle. If and when you do use tren, you need to purchase something for prolactin induced gynocomastia. I am not saying that you will need it, but to be on the safe side, you should have it on hand.

Be careful with the Proscar as some men report gyno signs with it.

Mafeli28's picture

I was wondering, what your preferred technique to using prop to jump start some cyp, I have always just ran prop, mast, and tren cycles, and am wanting to run cyp for my test this time. So how do I properly jump start it and combine the cyp while keeping levels steady. I know it's really not that important but I'm severely OCD when it comes pin times, and dont want to have to worry about an unbalance of levels. Also new to this sight but not gear and looking for a schedule type of example?

How does the karma points work they dont seem to go up?

Catalyst's picture

Other members can award (and deduct) karma when they see you being helpful (or unhelpful in the case of deducting), posting good information, lab tests, self pics, giving knowledgeable advice etc.

In terms of awarding it yourself, you can't until you reach level 1 which requires 50 karma.

beach14's picture

Thanks for explaining the karma. This site is great, been in here a while reading this and that. As for me I'm on trt .60ml wk for now. I have had some estrogen issues and my Dr gave me adex for a couple weeks however I'm unsure if that will help since my bloods are done every 3 months. I'll know tomorrow since I go in for results. Anyhow , this site is invaluable to newbs and Olds imo

firebyrd516's picture

Bout to start a 500/wk Test E, 400/wk Deca, kickstarted by 40/day Dbol. Aromasin on cycle with Nolva/Clomid PCT. Seems pretty basic to me. Ready to get this party started and eat some FOOD.

shooter77's picture

I have ran DECA in a few of my cycles. And some vets told me to double the dose of test if what ever mg of DECA you are running . it will help from getting DECA dick

Great words of advice brother, everyone starts somewhere!

Just getting started fellas...first contest is May 3...6'1 245lbs about 8%bf 38yrs

Smelly1980's picture

I just finished my pct. Just be careful with clomid 50mg for too long. By the end of the second week I got pretty emotional so I lower it to 25 a day by week 3 and I was fine. Yea nolva and clomid together was excellent for me and I felt great! Good luck bro!

PrezSHINRA's picture

I know it's important to have something like nolva on hand during your first cycle but what's the general opinion on running nolva throughout the whole cycle as a precautionary measure?

Hamifish's picture

Nolva is a blocker and while I have heard of a few people running it it's better to save for PCT. If you are running a light cycle of test (less than 500mg/wk) you will prob be ok without but if you are running more or find yourself gyno-prone you are best to and always safest to run some type of AI. You'll here plenty of preferences but if you want to keep it basic adex or arom are your best bets. Good luck bro

hyperDNA's picture

im gonna start a test/deca cycle. test 600mg/wk and deca 375mg with aromasin for duration of cycle. do i need cabaser?

tzelukie's picture

Stats? previouse cycles? how many? How long have you been off? The fact that your asking if you need caber for a Deca run says your not there yet. It's a 19-nor. Do yourself a favor and ask this in the proper forum and the pro's will educate you. But before you do that---USE THE EYEGLASS at the top of the page and research Deca... I

Hamifish's picture

You'll hear plenty of people say you have to but at those dosages I've never had a problem. I usually run adex at .5 eod and I'm good. As long as my test is significantly higher than my deca I stay safe. But if you want to feel extra safe just in case.....get it.

PrezSHINRA's picture

Does anyone have a link with each compounds characteristics and effects in cycle. Sounds a little basic but still curious on Tren, TNE, and a bunch others. I'm sure its very complicated but maybe someone has a link where it explains which compound is used for what. Thanks

Serious Jay's picture

Alright guy's I'm new to this online stuff. This is the blast I'm doing right now. Just wondered if anyone out there my have done a blast/cycle like this before. It's pretty low end blast to be fair. But i don't need a lot of gear.

Test E 300mg Mon-Thur
Winny ED
1-8 days 50mg Winny ED 8 days on 50mg 3tabs at 12pm 2tabs 8pm

VIKING EVOLUTION's picture

When you say "BLAST" i take it you are a TRT candidate right ???

The term Blast/Cruise refers only to guys that are TRT on these boards........ just to clarify because 1000s will be reading this bro.

If you mean this is your current cycle ... then refer to it as a cycle and not a blast ok

Serious Jay's picture

Yes sorry about that I'm TRT this will be a little blast for me.

vhman's picture

If you want some responses to your questions, post this info in the steroid cycle area or cycle log area. You will also need to post up your stats (age, weight, height, bf%, cycle history) as well.

kth3446's picture

I cant figure out how to post cycle history or pics so far any help out there?

Serious Jay's picture

It's okay I'm just trying to get my karma rating up, so i can rate labs and other stuff. I'm new to this online forum stuff.

vhman's picture

What I said is how you get your points up.

Serious Jay's picture

Thanks well I just updated my personal stats on my profile but I guess you didn't mean that.

Glad to have you here too...... hahaha :))))))))))

blazermaster's picture

We were ALL newbies at one time. Just research, and ask questions even if you think it's a stupid one. Most people here are good to answer questions. I hate the people that go off and give people a hard time telling them they are idiots, etc. I don't know close to everything, however I am 40 and done many cycles. I believe in helping people that are serious and ready to take the plunge use in the safest manner possible.

I would like to know opinions on "source comparisons"...
Such as; Out of the top 3 current sources, who ( in your opinions) provides the highest quality Tren Ace. Not sure if this question " breaks any rules". And where would I post a question like this?

Thanks in advance!

KappaXL's picture

Before someone else spanks you.... there is nowhere publicly to ask that question. Its a topic for PM's only. I dont think they will neg you because ur in the n00b section.. but i thought id give u a heads up before u post that in the general or elsewhere.

PROXXIMO's picture

Thanks.

KappaXL's picture

1st- Thanks for offering a bit of the knowledge Jim- (and the other vets here who might be reading).
New to the game- but currently doing volumes upon volumes of research before I compile my arsenal for the 1st big-boy cycle and subsequent pct. My only experience was with spawn in 2006 before I knew a lick of anything- I was given that bottle and ate them without a clue what it was; needless to say it might as well have been magic beans.. I gained 24 lbs of muscle before they ran out- and then I couldn't figure out why the stuff was impossible to find in stores. Older and wiser now I plan on doing things Much smarter. At this point I have been given 1 10mL bottle of Test e (I believe its 200mg but i'll have to check back) from the local pharmacy by a co-worker who is diagnosed low T. I realize that one vial does not a cycle Make. Ive read the post below stating that a 1st ever cycle should be Test only. I suppose the first thing i'd like to ask is, should I use the pharm vial 1st and supplement with a vial/vials of the same from another source- or are there negatives to switching makes and %'s mid stride. I have looked and cant find much info on the subject. Further- is this even the ideal Form for a newB on his first ride? Plan to start after Hunting season- Probably mid December so I have some time. But I want to stockpile while I have the cash- so any insight and advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks again. stats to follow - KappaXL

31yrs 6'2 230 15% (at the moment)
train 5-6 days a week depending on work schedule. (24hrs on shift 72hrs off)
Plan to do 8 wks 1st time- wait the standard two more to start pct-
pct planned clo 50/25/25/25 Nolv 40/20/20/20

oversteerisbest's picture

Lots of guys switch brands mid-cycle. Im a TRT guy myself so I mix my pharm with ugl stuff when I blast, as long as you keep the ester and the dose the same, you will be fine (also a good way to evaluate a source's quality comparing it to pharm quality) ie your Watson 200mg/ml Test E is fine to transition to source's 200mg/ml Test E. Make sure you have all components of your cycle on hand before you begin because if you wait to get your ai until you have side-effects, it may come in 2 weeks late, or there may be a mixup in shipping, etc, and boom you have gyno or something.

Also, if you plan on running test e, an 8 week cycle is only going to give you 4-5 weeks of useful elevated T levels because of the length of time it takes to kick in. Longer esters like test enanthate and cypionate should generally be run for 12+weeks to get your money's worth.

mk50's picture

try posting this info in the steriod cycles forum you will get much more feed back. your question about using the vial you have and then switching to a different brand is simple If your using the same ester it should not matter at all ie enanthate or prop.

kaspersur13's picture

Im going to be running cycle for 6-8 weeks of dbol 50 mg 500mg test enthanate a week now im also gonna be using aromasin on cycle should I be using anything else for AI I dont want the acne bitch tits prolactin ill buy whats necessary what would you reccomend?

legsday123's picture

Hello

How do you submit a source?
When pressing the submit 'sources' link, the same '403 Denied' message seems to come up.

Does anyone know what the issue might be?

Thanks

Groids's picture

Hey it's my first time I was thinking of taking dbol and test but I don't no which one i should take could you help me out

The_EQualizer's picture

What are your stats age,body weight,how long have u been working out and also wgat are your goals??

Chi side Beast's picture

hey Groids, I'm also a little new here and from what I've learned, 99.9% of the vets are going to recommend a test only cycle for your first. The main reason is you don't know how your body will react to what your taking, the more you take and start having side affects, you won't know which is giving you sides and how to fix. You will also see great gains from a 10-12 wk test only cycle! Most say to start off at 500mg test a wk split in 2 pins. (250mg pin Monday, 250mg pin Thursday. Hope this helps!

GetRippedOrDieMirin's picture

Yes. 500mg a week Test E or C, split into two doses. I did this for 10 weeks for my first cycle and gained 17 lbs. Could have easily ran it for 12, but I felt happy with what I'd done by week 10. Keep Arimidex or Aromasin. I would just go ahead and start running one by week 3 since the E and C are longer esters. But if you don't want to just auto-run the AI, at least make sure to have it on hand in case. 3 weeks after your last injection, (again since the E and C are long esters) standard clomid/nolva PCT... Clomid 100mg/Nolva 40mg (everyday) for 2 weeks followed by Clomid 50mg/Nolva 20mg (also everyday) for 2 weeks... PCT totaling 4 weeks... Should be good, brother.

I apologize if that looks all jumbled up. I am a bit long-winded at times. :S

A little long winded yes, but very well said my man
