Thread: In Need of 1st Cycle Advice

Read the thread in my profile titled "First Cycle and PCT"

Don't ask anymore questions until you read it 2 times at least

I'd buy more gear and do it right. Doesn't make sense to do it half ass. It you're using vials, they are generally known to be under filled. So you may actually only get 9-9.5 ml out of a 10 ml vial. If it's an amp, you'll be fine but I really think you should consider getting more gear and extending your cycle to 10-12 weeks. Just my two cents.

100% Agree...

your first cycle would be better extending to 10-12 weeks.....you've made a good choice in test only (test e or c would have been the preferred choice thought)....really no need to taper the last week if you're doing the appropriate pct afterward!!!

Do i nned to run a PCT during the cycle or just after? And i also have purchased HCG drops. for during the cycle... Thanks for any words of wisdom!

Everything is the sticky as others have stated, except for pin sizes.

20g 1.5" for draws
23g (size varies depending on injection site) 1.5-1" for glutes.
HCG you can run 29g for drawing and pinning.

Found a quite informative site on pinning the other day, put a link up in the "safer injection" sticky. Now I'm by no means qualified to state how good it is, or correct, but I'm assuming that any of the senior members will take a look at it, and validate the information stated there.

HCG drops do not work, you need injectable...Pregnyl is a good brand, look for that

Hey guys i appreciate the comments..! So i have a few ?'s. 1st how much is 500ui, when purchasing HCG like in ml or 1oz?. 2nd i plan on doing 10-20mg or aromasin, during my cycle. an clomid for a PCT. But where's a good place to buy online, since i'm in iraq an dont have much access... and is it illegal, or OTC. cause i would need to ship it to an APO address. thanks a million guys!

Start PCT 2-3 weeks following last shot of test/sust. Try to get Clomid and run it Week 1: 100mg ED, Weeks 2-3: 75mg ED and Week 4: 50mg ED.

So you in the army ?

Wait until you get home.

Heard from a few guys in the military that its a very bad idea to cycle when deployed.
Especially at PCT stage.

Yeah i'm on my 3rd deployment... will be here til Sept of this year.. what things have you heard..?

You can still do a cycle while deployed, it's very possible. Your job duties and MOS can also determine how difficult it will be. The best thing to do is try to plan it out as best as possible and then have a backup plan because there's no such thing as a set schedule in a combat zone. I'm assuming you want to bulk up. One of the most difficult things I have found while working in a combat zone or just some fucked up third world country, is finding enough good quality food. That has always been my biggest challenge, especially if you are on a long patrol/mission. Stock up on lots of food, MREs, good quality BX food (if there even is such a thing), and have your family keep sending food through the mail if you have a hard time locating enough.

Maybe Halotestin would make the most sense since orals are convenient and the uncertainty of his schedule/relocations, etc. Plus, the added aggression/strength can't hurt. Note: open advil bottle, dispose of all advil, fill with halo, take halo twice a day for "pain."

I wouldnt use sust for a first cycle. But def just test 500mg test enan a week def pct nolva/clomid and hcg drops are bullshit get it in amps run 250-500 iu a week after the first 4 weks of your cycle until the last week and I agree with Irish go 10-12 weeks.

Hey BigBird, i like the orals idea..! where do i find them, how much weight on average can i expect to gain.. i heard winstol as an oral is pretty good.. my goal is 200lbs of hard lean muscle!. i'm at 180lbs an pretty lean, maybe 7-10 BF%.. i'm 6-4. @26yrs old. Hey Darkhorse... thats exactly what i've been doing..! tuna, kashi cereal. protein bars. i ordered a fruit an veggie drink mix from GNC online. just to name a few.. Proper Nutrition is The Foundation of ur body i believe,,! Thanks again guys

I think darkhouse is gonna be your key home here. Listen to him. You wont have access like the rest of us so I'm not going to give my opinion.
