Here on Eroids and many other places around the world it is a common suggestion for first time users to run a cycle of Testosterone Ethanate at 500mg weekly.I happen to very much agree with this concept.As I have mentioned,we could probably write a book called 101 reasons to run test e first cycle...A few days ago I commented that your first cycle is like creating your own personal manual on running future cycle.We suggest this so that the user can gauge the effects and side effects from the hormone.How he will react to testosterone....We also have suggestions on running an AI.First cycle the user will see the level of estrogen response and how he should establish the correct protocol to manage it.......Discovering how your body responds to testosterone and estrogen in this manner is very important to the future course of cycles IMO.

As firm as we are with how important this is ,I am surprised I don't see more people strongly recommend using pharma testosterone and maybe even more importantly Pharma AI's as well as PCT.....Starting with testosterone.Maybe the possible inconsistencies in milligrams isn't such a big deal,but I feel it understated in a first cycle.The difference between possibly an overdosed UGL @ 600 and maybe an underdose at 300mg or even less is significant IMO...Especially on a first cycle when you are trying to get an accurate gauge on how your body reacts to a certain dose....How bout the different solvents and solutions that can be used to make a test e?I know that it should be pretty standard but there are a variety of solutions with different chemicals.Even though a bad reaction to a solvent is low ,it is still a possibility.This may cause a user to question exactly what he is reacting to.Was it the hormone or a solvent?....OK maybe not a big deal,but a fair point.We want as few possible complications as possible.....As far as the actual dosing,not much to say there.A user who believed he was tolerating 500mg easily on his first cycle(because it was only 300mg or less) then jumps up to 750mg on his second cycle an is facing trouble....that scenario can obviously be reversed...Over to the AI and PCT....We all know how inconsistent UGL's and especially research companies can be with these products.Obviously,it may never be a good time to use a research grade AI/PCT but if so,,,a first time is certainly not the time.Once again,we are trying to establish a protocol for how to combat estrogen and research grade is probably rarely dosed correctly.....So,first cycle you determine that you need .75mg of arimidex(because its actually underdosed) then next time you run that protocol you end up crashing your estrogen.....For a first cycle I can probably write a book 101 reason to use all pharma products.

In Psychology I learned that our first impression or experience with something will instill beliefs in us about it .We then take these beliefs to creates future perspective on applicable things and situations.If our initial beliefs were created falsly then it will cause us to have false perceptions in the future in similar situations.Like I explained with the first time test cycle and wanting to establish and accurate protocol.If we cause ourself to be mislead by using misdosed gear then this will cause us poor judgement in our next cycle..

These principles can also be applied with us more advanced users as well...The first time we use a new compound in a cycle we also don't want to add another first time compound to the same cycle.This will obviously make It difficult to identify where the problem is coming from IF we were to have a problem.We also want to see exactly how our body reacts and how the compound performs for us and at its given dose.We want to get an accurate assessment any time we use a new compound.For that reason,I would also suggest using a pharma compound any time you are using a compound for the first time.Of course,that is if possible.If not,you would certainly want to do your research and get the best and most accurately dosed as possible.........I have a personal example to share....The first time I used T-BOL ,I got it from a source I was not familiar with.Not only that,but I didn't even find any real reviews on it...Basically,I ignorantly made the purchase.But,this can also happen with a UGL even after doing adequate research....My TBOL,I believe was Dbol....I happen to have experience with most orals but if I hadn't...I would have been lead by that impression and believed that T-BOL provided me big strength and mass gains quickly,with mild bloating etc etc etc.....you get my point.....This now becomes my understanding of TBOL...Falsly....which brings me to another point that I see ALL TO OFTEN.......I will hear members sharing their experience and even using their experience to make cycle suggestions and such......They are basing their suggestions on only 1 use.This I feel is probably a bad ideal to begin with but if they had an experience where it was not even a legit product or not dosed correctly they are now giving advice on a completely false premise.I understand that users want to help out and are excited to share their experience,I admire that,I have done it before.If my experience was only once or with a questionable product I am going to share that along with the information.PLEASE if you are going to make recommendation off 1 experience ,note that you have only had 1 experience.

So my point with all of this is that we always want our first experience to be as accurate as possible.It will impact our understanding for future.To do this,I would always recommend using pharma.this This is especially important for first time cyclers.

DarthPale asked the members to start writing more in the forum.So ,I figure what the hell...If something on your mind go ahead and write.There isn't a whole lot of activity.Its nice to see as many new topics ass possible.Some times even something seemingly insignificant will turn into an enlightening discussion.
