Coming here asking to be spoon-fed doesn’t inspire much confidence that you have the drive, curiosity, or dedication this hobby requires.

You’ve got six months before you even plan to start. That’s the perfect amount of time to live in the search bar. Learn how to read bloodwork, understand health markers, get your bloodwork done 3-4 times so you know where you stand and that you can afford it both physically and financially, study training, nutrition, and enhancement protocols, and most importantly, understand why people make the decisions they do instead of just copying them.

Then come back with a handful of well-researched questions that are specific to you. Those threads almost always get better responses because you’ve already invested the time and shown you’re willing to learn.

The biggest lesson in this hobby is taking ownership of your own health. Nobody here knows your body better than you ever will, and nobody has a magic protocol that’s guaranteed to work for you. The painstaking process of dialing things in, what works, what doesn’t, how your body responds, and what your bloodwork tells you, is your responsibility.

Don’t be a passenger in your own protocol. Learn enough that you understand the advice you’re given, can question it when it doesn’t make sense, and can make informed decisions for yourself. That mindset will take you much further than any cycle someone can hand you.

My “advise” you have no business taking anything if you’re not consistently training already. Wtf do you need gear for? Give it more than 6 months

Height? Weight? Dick length/girth?

Why would 10-20 year old advice be non-relavent now?

In fact, looking thru the annals of eroids you will find entire write ups from some fine gents that ACTUALLY knew what they were talking about and not just regurgitating chat-gpt/reddit/YouTube horse shit.

It's the same steroids, going into the same human bodies, training for the same goals.

I'd rather be given a pep talk from Arnold Schwarzenegger than the liver king, buddy.

Get your bloods and see where your test level is. Start with 350 test E or Test C each week. Get your bloods done after 4-5 weeks and if your levels are greater than double your natural levels then stay with that for your first cycle. Have aromasin or arimidex in case your E2 gets high. Dial in your training and nutrition and stay in a moderate surplus. Good luck.

I've read quite a few older posts, but a lot of the information is years old, so I'd appreciate any current advice. Thanks.

The Advice you see even on 10 Old year posts is still relevant 100% to the things you want to know buddy - to explain EVERYTHING you would need to know when running a steroid cycle would take over 100 pages. Learn the basics first then as you go along on a Testosterone only cycle you will learn more and more as you experience things

Not to sound like a dick, but this exact set of questions are asked 2, sometimes 3, times a week. Dudes get tired of saying the same thing over and over.

Use the search bar up top and look up “beginner cycle” or “first cycle” etc

If you have specific questions after that, then ask
