Will it be ok to cycle?
ad
So I have lost nearly fifty pounds on this cut and have been looking forward to starting my cycle. Only thing is I'm currently at a stressful point in my life. The cycle is just going to be test, 500 a week. Will I be fine or will the stress turn into anger and make me regret starting? This might be a stupid question I just don't have experience and want to make sure I don't make a mistake.

Been on TRT for a few years. Also have ran a few test only cycles. In my experience it's kind of the opposite. I have a overall total better sense of well being on higher test. I'm already disciplined, assertive, level minded dude but it increases these attributes. Makes me handle life situations even better than I already do.
Not trying to sway you one way or the other. Just giving my experience.
I’d wait until this phase of stress in your life has passed. If you’ve not cycled before, you don’t know how it’s going to affect you.
I’ve definitely been affected by taking higher testosterone before. Made me a bit pissy etc. usually when I haven’t controlled my oestrogen and my BP has spiked.
Up to you. Get bloods done before, mid way through and post PCT. Especially on your first cycle. It will pay off for years to come. I didn’t do this and wish I had.
It will help you also dial in your oestrogen control, if needed.
Testosterone dont give you roid rage and it dont make your dick shrink(its your scrotum). Dont make you commit suicide or kill off your entire family like benoit. Sounds like you have heard all the wives tales that make testosterone taboo to the rest of the world. Id learn more before indulging so that way when people come at you when they find out you are on in you can educate them properly and break the testosterone stigma..
I know most of this lol. I have done research. I'm just asking for people's personal experiences and advice.
Oh ok. If anything testosterone will give you a sense a well being and the increased intensity in the gym may very well distract you from negativity but high stress can effect diet and workout times so if you think this will then wait till things calm down.
Awesome thanks, yeah I should be good then because I'm able to stick with my diet and training
If its your first cycle Id wait until things are calmer so you can get a better understanding on how it makes you feel.
Don't run a cycle if you're stressed out or distracted. My job is seasonal and gets super busy and stressful during certain quarters of the year, I always avoid running anything. Stress levels would get compounded, training won't be as productive.
Damn, that is absolutely not what I wanted to hear. Lol I'm not really distracted just stressed out. Have a lot of life stuff going on the past year. It has been better the past few days, idk if It's getting better or if it's just a lull in it but past few days have been the first couple of days I've not been miserable since me and ex fiance split. If I keep feeling better I'm gonna go for it
You have to ask yourself, and be honest with yourself. Can you responsibly keep yourself in the correct state of mind on a cycle? Me personally, I run one cycle per year, so when that time comes, I’m mentally locked in and prepared for whatever happens. The mind is a powerful tool, use it…..don’t let it use you.
