36 years old first cycle. Just started second cycle at 43 having made significant gains again naturally, surpassing lifetime pbs and wanting to achieve strength goals whilst I’m still young enough to do so. So far strength has shot up and I’m very pleased with results. However pip from test e has been so bad both cycles I’m hoping this is something that will improve as I pin more and body adapts to absorbing the oil.

Hopefully we have got that sorted now bud Smile

Too right mate. Many thanks.

I remember my first taste of juice it was CENSORED. Those little over counter capsules with that stinky green powdery crap were so androgenic i had to get prescription antiperspirant. My first round of that i gained 20 lbs in 5-6 weeks. It would be more than a decade later until i went back and learned about oils/ cycles/ pct, etc and discovered eroids.

20 yrs old, heart broken, and wanted to get big and ripped. went to talk to the biggest guy at the gym and asked him where can i score some gear and he suggested me to go to the forums or at the last pages of any muscular development magazine. got my first gear from a russian brand ( don't remember that name)

so far this is what i remember from my first cycle:
2 cm sustanon
2 tabs of oxy
1 arimidex as soon as my tits start hurting. (yeah really bad advice)

from there i fell in love with the pump and how steroids make you feel at the gym

nothing motivates like heart break

I did a good 4 years natural before jumping the wagon. But guys in my gym were pushing HARD after only 1 year for me to get in. I called them cheaters, this and that and...then I did the same lol But wait. The other guys in the gym took it way too early and beside being lean, you would NEVER tell they're ON. I was natural BIGGER then them but not as lean ... I knew why later lol

I think i done 4 weeks of dbol only as 19year old just because haha but my first real cycle I jumped on at 25 once I had all the knowledge I thought I needed at the time. Looking back now I probably could of held off a little longer but no regrets

  1. I ended up needing TRT, and once my dose was dialed in I ran a cycle of high test, got terrible acne, and decided to try TRT+ cycles after that. Have had great results, lost 80lbs and gained a ton of muscle.

  1. A good age to start before the decline. 12 years later and hardly and grey hairs, lean as a machine.

I grew up having a fast metabolism and very high libido. I barely skipped a beat starting around that age. I think that's the year eroids first opened up, 2011ish? Anyhow I'll never forget my first cycle, it was just the greatest.

Joined here around 25yo and lurked for about a year learning before I got on my first cycle at 26. Test E 300mg split 0.5ml twice/week. Didn’t touch it again for another year at least after because even though I had an amazing response the PIP was so bad as a newb and technique was still poor, as well as possibly solvents involved who knows, but I was just finishing didactic core in med school. Tan a couple more cycles before I started competing and since my first show 2019 Been on TRT now for 4 years. A cycle once or twice a year at most depending on off-season or prep.

Had a dabble at 28 and at 31, then left it till 38 and continued onwards till present day.
I fully intend to continue till I'm not able to train no more. Already considering knocking tren on the head at some point in the near future. I think test mast, var or winstrol will do for me what tren will.
Have no regrets with the cycles or products used.

I was 42 at my first cycle

sandyravage's picture

Was 21. First cycle was 500 mg Sustanon a week. Back was covered in acne. Definitely regret starting so soon and going about it the way I did but hindsight is always 20/20. Did a few stupid cycles from 21-25. At 27 Decided to come off everything to see if numbers could rebound. Me and my wife at the time were trying for years to have a kid. Didn't happen and now that we're split I'm thankful for that. Got levels checked and was at 206. Now im running 200mg a week of cyp at 32 and will have to do so for the rest of my life. Live and learn but the least I can do is try and stray the youngsters away from jumping into this lifestyle so early if at all. I do feel much better, less lethargic, sex drive is better than ever, and am walking around at a size I feel confident at.

Pumped_'s picture

Started playing around at 25. Not serious but bunch of guys from my fight gym found a website and created a bogus email for us to use as a group. Pumped_ we named the email. Thought sustanon was the dopest thing to have because it was a "blend" had no idea what esters meant. No idea what i was doing and gained permanent gyno during that inexperienced run.

press1's picture

LOL Yeah I remember Sustanon sounding really impressive as a new guy, the name sounded good too lol

JakeKO's picture

Same here, although no one told me I had to pin more than once per week. I thought my stuff was fake at the time. SMH

18ish, senior year in high school. I just wanted to be a badass fighter lol. I went in guns blazin and didn't care at the time.

UncleYoked's picture

I would adjust, 20-29 is a huge range, it's more like 18-21, 22-24, 25-29,30-39,40+
There's a difference between a 24 year old and 26 year old, imo.

D) 44 yrs old. Went to a clinic for trt testosterone was at like 280. Was feeling really down depressed and lethargic did a lil reading and tried it out. Well dude put me on 3ml test c week. Turns out that was a cycle I learned after I joined up here. Felt fantastic though. So did a nova only pct after which really sucked. Then decided to run proper cruse and blast from then on. Definitely a work in progress and learning more each and every day. Thank you gentlemen for all your help and advice! Come a long way in the last yr and a half. Still a ways to go but I'll get there

press1's picture

I bet you literally felt like you had been born again - being on that level of test to then going up to that amount must have felt incredible!

WamBam's picture

Like a million bucks bro. But that amount of test only put me up to 1150 and I think my free was under 90.

B. (20 years old) Ran a Tren only cycle thinking it was test. (Even though I ordered test e) then I didn’t touch anything again until 26 prop/var.

press1's picture

WoW! Lol Did you not think 'man this feels awful - I thought it was supposed to feel good?!' Lmao

SimonM84's picture

I think it was back in 03 or 04- I was a stupid fuck back then, there weren't many forums like there was now so I never even realized what I was pinning, I thought it was another version of test but it was only 1 shot a week for 10 weeks. I was absolutely, ridiculously shredded and wondered why I didn’t put on mass or why my dick wasn’t working despite having a hot Brazilian GF 7 years my elder. She accused me of doing cocaine lol.

press1's picture

10 weeks of Tren only would have me feeling lower than low, still when its the first time you are getting insane results it over shadows how bad you are feeling.

SimonM84's picture

Yeah man, I got down to like 7% BF and had all these women wanting to fuck but I basically had no dick. I needed a few rounds of hcg and it came back. I legit wasn’t getting a hard on for months.

Big Tone36's picture

That happened to me after my first cycle but I used test a deca. Even after a full PCT of HCG and clomid my dick was broke for months but when I was on HCG and clomid I was on still. Once PCT was over I had problems because deca is a very long acting compound after building up for 10 weeks it takes longer to clear the system. I didn't use deca ever again.... Later in life once I was already using gear awhile and prescribed TRT I used NPP during my recovery when I tore my arm but at lower dosage just for therapeutic healing purpose and to stay anabolic enough not to lose muscle from not training. Nandrolone promotes collagen synthesis so I believed it would aid in tendon repair along with igf-1 and GH. I did heal fast and I didn't atrophy my one side really except the arm obviously but it came back extremely fast once I was able to use it more and more

SimonM84's picture

I personally believe those who are on trt can get away with a low dose of Deca for repair purposes but I’ve struggled to recover on a Deca cycle and the benefits aren’t worth the rewards. I’ve spoken to a few members here who’ve really benefited from a low dose cycle while maintaining single debit BF. I just wouldn’t use it again unless I was running npp.

Big Tone36's picture

Yea I've used NPP a few cycles because it's out pretty quick wlif shit goes wrong, but I still didn't enjoy it so much I can get same or even better results in some circumstances with other compounds and not lose my pipe

BlindAlligators's picture

B and it was a successful cycle, I only knew I was hungry and needed to eat lol

I did not develop my base as well as I could have before doing it though, that’s my one regret
