Help with first cycle

[WilliamDragon10]

Hey guys, I’m new here and looking to do my first cycle, but idk what all these different drugs do, how often to take them, half lives, how much they’ll raise my test by, side effects, the list of questions goes on. I don’t even know where to start, any advice would be appreciated! - Will

Hey Matey, I'm new to this forum as well so this makes both of us.

First things first is to get your bloodtests done. It'll give you a good idea on where you're at with all your levels and health markers.

Work out what your goals are and what you're looking to achieve, this will play a big role in what compounds you use. So best to take your time to understand what each compound does. Plenty of research from your end. I've been browsing this forum and there is so much info here.

I'd always recommend first cycles with only Test E or C. You'd need to get a grip on basics like dosages, injection frequency and the importance of half-lives for stable blood levels. Sides can be stuff like acne, gyno & mood swings. Not everyone gets them but just need to be mindful of them.

Definitely keep an eye on your diet and training too. Also think about PCT to help get your natural levels back post-cycle. This is real basic top-level info. I'm sure the more you research you do, the more questions you'll have. I'll help out where I can

Thx man. I had the bloods done a bit ago, everything is normal except for low b12, so I just take some stuff for that. Goals would be not to go crazy with how much I use, but just enough so I can bulk up a bit and get a bit stronger. And I did try and do a bit of research, but all I could find was medical papers and such, not much good info for how to use the stuff for bodybuilding, maybe there's some other sources I'm not aware of.

No worries. First cycle = Testosterone Enanthate, it's a long acting ester of testosterone. Always good to start slow and monitor how the body reacts to exogenous testosterone before any adjustments.

So best to start with around 250mg per week. This should be a good dose to test the waters and enough to see if it makes a difference with growth and general wellbeing. Limit the cycle to 12 weeks. and split the dose into two injections per week (Monday and Thursday) helps keep the hormone levels stable.

There are PCT options like Nolvadex or Clomid but you'd need to customise this to your specific needs.

You said you got bloods done before but no harm in getting them done just before cycle. I'd say also do it midway and 6 weeks after.
