I decided not to cycle anymore until my I am more financially stable, which may be 6-7 months or may be a couple years. But I did learn a few things that the more experienced users have been saying for years. I would just like to say to people considering their first cycle or doing a PH, LISTEN.

1. Don't bother with pro hormones, seriously, not so much a problem here, and they can be great to kickstart, stronger than a lot of "real" steroids. But there is a reason people say oral only cycles are bad, I ran two prohormone cycles prior to my first real cycle, the gains disappear quick even with proper PCT, recovery is HARDER for some reason. Gyno seems more common with prohormones. even "dry" ones. I'm not just parroting what is generally held as the truth it is what Ive personally experienced as a younger guy being stupid. IF you are dead set of cycling, Use test, there is a REASON, EVERYBODY advises it.

The reason why test is needed at least for me are better mood, this sounds trivial but hating life for however long the cycle lasts then through PCT, and following PCT due to recovery issues is NOT FUN, the most depressing thing is watching your gains and strength slip away when you already feel like a 12 year old little girl from hormone swings. With test you feel great during the cycle, In my case great during PCT and after as well, I never felt like my hormones tanked. Here a few months after PCT I feel BETTER than I did following my last prohormone PCT, my sex drive and anger is almost as high as it was before I ever messed with hormones, and as I am a bit older now both would have probably mellowed slightly regardless. Nobody wants to be angry but when you know you should be angry and just feel like a bitch instead its not fun.

As I kind of mentioned before, unless you fully intend to go on TRT recovery is THE most important part of the cycle, not only because if you loose all your gains you just wasted hundreds of dollars and put yourself at risk for nothing but because simply living depressed with your dick not working is absolutely not worth the extra muscle, when you're shut down not even being the biggest guy on the planet would make you happy. Along with test I am a clomid fan for life, litterally a week after starting clomid my balls were bigger than before my cycle, I never crashed, after PCT was over and I knew all test was out of my system I still feel alright. My point is, if you know what works great, but if you're like me and don't know, DON'T PLAY AROUND!!!

I would say my biggest most idiotic mistake was assuming "well I should be okay" Don't be stupid, just because 80% can do a prohormone cycle and take nolva and recover doesn't mean its worth the risk, if you're ever that 20% you will understand. Be as safe as possible, account for murphies law and assume everything will go wrong.

Might be a bit hard to follow Ive been up for a while, but I just am hoping to reach out to some other young dumb people wanting to do their first cycle hoping they will see.

I still kick myself for not listening to all the experts and seeking out that one guy who disagreed. Even one guy did do one dumb thing and got away with it, you probably won't be so lucky, so listen to the other guys who made the dumb mistakes before you did and learned from them.
