First cycle advice

If you’re just doing injectables milk thistle is probably fine. But if you’re on orals try to get NAC.

Okay. I'll order some online and just use the Thistle for now. Thanks.

It would be beneficial to take 25-50mg of aspirin per day to keep your blood thinner.

Aspirin at 150mg - therapeutic dose

I’m reluctant to tell him to take that dose and went on the side of caution.

I ended up getting small dose 100mg asprin anyway

I ended up ordering Anavar with my test (I know you recommend test-only). I took 20mg on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday, I took 30mg yesterday, 50mg, and 20mg today. Almost immediately, I had stomach issues. Upset tummy, sometimes nausea when eating food. My urine is fine, hasn't changed colour, and I stay well hydrated to avoid UTIs. No pain in the lower back. It's more pronounced today after taking 50mg yesterday. Is this normal? The doses I'm taking are within the recommended range (not a complete idiot). Been taking all the vitamins, etc.

Haha, welcome to the dark side of PEDs. Just adding something coz we can…

Gastrointestinal disturbances can occur with oral formulations, so it’s advisable to avoid taking them on an empty stomach. Personally, I find that a dose of 10-20mg works well as a pre-workout supplement. If considering doses higher than 20mg, it may be beneficial to split the dosage between morning and evening. Additionally, I recommend keeping the usage period to around 4-6 weeks...

lmao. I couldn't help myself. Staring me in the face, screaming, "Take me, you know you want to." Haha. I was splitting the dose 10mg in the morning and 10mg late afternoon. I may change to taking it as a pre-workout. Hypothetically, if I'm only taking it as a pre-workout, could I take it for a longer period (total duration of my 10-12 week cycle), given that I'm only taking it three times a week?

Just wanted to add a comment about Asprin thinning your blood as it's not correct, but is still the right thing to take to reduce clotting risk.

Asprin does not thin your blood, it inhibits an enzyme which decreases thromboxane which causes platelets to stick together. It deoesn't reduce platelets or haemoglobin, it makes your blood less 'sticky'.

Haven't noticed any effects from the Test as yet. Anavar makes my muscles feel harder and gives me crazy pumps. Onto my 4th week of taking them, though, so I will be stopping next Thursday.

Week 5 no results still. Lost strength since coming off the var. Diet has been on point every day. Haven't slept the best the last few days (it happens from time to time with me.) I dunno if I'm ****ing up the injections because sometimes I'll get hard skin after an injection. I've googled it and it seems pretty common. If it's still too early or I'm just genetically a poor responder to test. Should I get bloods done now and see where my test levels are at or wait 2 weeks?

TRT won't turn you into Superman, but it can help alleviate symptoms of low testosterone (low T) such as mood issues, general well-being, sleep disturbances, and it may improve your fat-to-muscle ratio.

After four weeks of testosterone cypionate (test c), your hormone levels should stabilize. Blood tests will provide a good indication of your dosing effectiveness.
