New**** First cycle... Looking for advice

ad

Hi Yall.

Looking for some advice. First time for a cycle. 40 years old. I workout 5-6 days out of the week. Eat clean meals 5-6 times a day. I'm looking to get rid of stubborn belly fat, and get toned/ build muscle. I weigh 167lbs and I'm 5'7". BF around 17.

I will be getting blood works,etc. I don't have any health conditions.

Looking for something simple to start with. and go from there. I have done my research. Leaning towards test with a pct.

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Ok find your source be patient w this, start w testosterone cyponaite, or enanthate. Run 500mg every week, see how you feel? Some will argue on cycle length but you are 40 years old don’t think 500 mg is going f to cause much damage it’s going to make you feel like god most likely if this is really your first run… I would say run at least 12 weeks on 12 off do research on your post cycle therapy what supps you will need… but it would be nice to know what your levels are right now it could even be time for HRT nobody knows but you my friend you should get blood work done first see where your at. Good luck just know once most people begin w an anabolic they tend to never really stop or fuck up there body and have to wait for reset if your lucky --

Can you walk into a clinic and tell them you want to do a cycle, and they give you the needles and the drugs and then devise a pct plan?

Change your handle to Willy Bonkers because that advice came all the way out of left field.

I had blood work done. Test is 499mg (which is considered normal). Don't know if a TRT clinic will accept me for that. All my rest of the blood work came back fine.

What do yall think about a 10 week 250mg a week test cycle with 4 weeks of PCT. How much pct should be used based on this 10 weeks? I'm still looking to source this stuff out.

IrishMack's picture

They wont, 499 is not bad, that's almost in the middle. 250 a week may only put you at around 2-3000, try 3-400 so you can be around 5K. That's a magic number right there, that's 2 pins a week every 3rd then 4th day. If you dont grow on that then you did not diet right or train right.

Clinics around here(midwest) will accept anyone at any test level. That is, aslong as your bp is under 140/90. Sad really

That is pretty much how they are around my area. They want to get you to "Optimal" levels.

They just want to get your money. Optimal levels is a legal excuse to cover their asses for them to jack up your natural levels to the top end of the range when your levels were just perfectly fine to begin with. This way they can justify ruining a perfectly functioning HPTA and they now have your money in their pocket for life. Some people legitimately do need it but a large share I believe definitely don't.

Halsey's picture

"Optimal" is fine aslong as your bloods are good and you feel great.

Janus's picture

I have not personally used them, but know a few that have. They will pretty much prescribe the you what you want. But they do make you do blood work often. They do not take insurance, and charge pretty much double. Dunno if that is a good thing or bad.

IrishMack's picture

its all about the money to those places.

Hey Gene! The op doesn't need trt, clinic or real dr, with natty test levels of 499. A beginner's test only cycle is up to him, but he should do the research and the proper bloodwork for that too. Just slow down a bit, you are new to this site. Safety is key here, especially for beginners looking for advice.

Missing the point entirely. It’s went so far above your head it’s just collided with Virgin Galactic and Branson ain’t happy.

Blood work first.

I would say get some test prop and test E or C. Run prop at about 100 mg eod and 500 mg of test E a week and after the 3 week taper down the prop and just run test E at 500 mg a week for 10 weeks.

Pip will be more than enough just from test e in virgin muscle. Prop can be pretty brutal. Kicking with prop is an advanced cycle and not well suited for a newb. Can make estro management tricky.

The reason you are light is training too much! 4 or 5 days week MAXIMUM training rest needed for healing time and eating to gain muscle weight. 500mg testE for 10 week. Pin twice

borisleehk's picture

Test E or Test C 500mg for 12 weeks would be a good starting cycle.
Stack with orals eg dbol for the first 4 weeks if you want an extra boost before the long ester kicks in.
PCT with clomid and nolvadex

@StayStrong2021 please read this!

Makwa's picture

Good

StayStrong2021's picture

Thanks sir. Is there a reason you recommend 500mg over 250 or 300? From your experience, will the cycle bulk with muscle and cut fat to lean out?

0newheelup's picture

Orals such as doll can be very harsh especially for a first cycle. Not only will u have to deal with toxic effects, blood pressure issues, but he doesn't even know how his body is going react to higher test and estrogen levels

Thanks for sharing. Appreciate all the help I can get.

StayStrong2021's picture

Thanks!

I'm thinking 300mg test e (2x a week) for 12 weeks. pct week 14-18 (clomid). AI on hand. Consume around 2500-2900 calories of clean meals.Train 5-6 days a week. Mostly weight training, an hour or two of cardio a week. Train is between an hour to hour and half.

Thanks for your help.

Why don't you layout the plan you have in mind and we can take a look at it. There really is no point in spoonfeeding you info. What is more useful is for you to lay out what you exactly have in mind for a cycle, nutrition and training and we can help tweak it if needed so you can reach your goals.
