Hello all, I just joined a few weeks ago but I have researching for quite sometime. I chose to come to this site because of the solid topics, reviews, sources, and outstanding members.

I have put a lot of thought into running my first cycle and have taken the first steps by getting bloods done (posted on my page). I figured I was on the low side of the spectrum for test but did not expect to see the results that I got back. I hit below the low end of the scale! I've been spending hours upon months upon years in the gym and on the bike trying to improve, with no success.

So after my bloods and research I have decided to go with a test only cycle for my first, with ai on hand throughout. I know with my levels some guys on here figure I am a solid candidate for trt, but nothing is certain until I get into see the doc and see what they say. Until I can wait through the backlog at the doc I am going to run a cycle.

Here is what I have come up with, input is appreciated and welcome.

37 years old, 185 lbs, 6'2" BF 11% 3000 cal/week diet (45/30/25 macro split)

Week 1 -12 -- Test E 500mg will pin 250 2xWeek.

Week 3 - 18/19 - Aromasin 6.25 - 12.5 ED (I will run 6.25 until I get bloods again at least half-way, if not earlier, through cycle as my Estro level is proportional to test and adjust this as needed).

Week 15 - 18 -- Clomid/Nolva (100, 100, 50, 50)/(20, 20, 10, 10) per week respectively. This was taken from the write up on suggested first cycles. I know Nolva and Clomid are similar but act differently on different tissues. Are both needed or even recommended?

One big question I have is on pins. Best to use? Not gauge wise, but syringe ml size. I will be pinning 0.8ml of 300ml test E 2 times a week to hit the 500. Will a insulin pin work best? Otherwise all I can find are 5ml from a source which seem like volume overkill. Also, pins and syringes separate? Or the combo ones? Tedious questions I know but I want to get into it with all questions that I come up with answered.
