First Cycle

[CheekinNuudles]

Hey All, looking for any guidance from more knowledgeable people on all the things needed for a first cycle and what you recommend taking. 21 years old (i know I'm young) been lifting for 5 years total and 2 years more dialled in. Stats: 6ft 5, 90kg 16-18% bf. Have touched sarms and a few peptides in the past (hence not scared of injecting). Any help would be much appreciated. Going to get bloods done tomorrow, what should i specifically ask to see from my GP.

Cheers.

Testosterone only for a first cycle. 500mg Testosterone Enanthate , split into two injections at 250mg each, for 12 weeks. Use .5mg twice a week of Arimidex whilst on cycle or Aromosin at 12.5mg every 3 days

Thanks Dan30185 for the reply. Do you think I should taper up to 500mg. And post cycle I was thinking of using HCG + nolvadex 2 weeks after pin to limit shrinkage down in the jewels.

@Dan30185 is on point

No need to taper up or down. Just maintain that consistent dose throughout. You can do HCG at 250 IU twice a week and for PCT, the Nolva starting 2 weeks after your last pin at 40mg daily for 2 weeks and then 20mg daily for the next 2 weeks is pretty standard.

Blood work is crucial, so ask for Total and Free Testosterone, Estradiol, LH, FSH, a full lipid panel, liver and kidney function tests, CBC, and SHBG. These will give you a complete picture of your health before and after the cycle.

No need to taper down , I personally don't worry about the use of hcg , the boys will return to volume after 4 weeks and if using hcg for 2 - 3 weeks , your talking about a layover of only a week or 2. It doesn't bother me. 2 weeks is a bit early to start pct after enanthate, id wait at least 3 weeks , if worried about shortening the time between pct and cycle, swap enanthate for prop at week 8, pin that 150mg every 2nd day and you can start pct 5 days after last pin. But that would be an increase in injection frequency that not every novice would enjoy. I would just use tamoxifen at 40/40/20/20 and clomifene at 50/50/25/25. I've used hcg and omitted hcg and it made little differance for me. But that's just me

Cheers for the advice. Im getting my bloods done next week. Got the script from my GP this am. So requested all of the panels that was suggested on that other post. I'll post an update on this once I've got them. Then will start sourcing it all.
