Cycle

Posted by: 1moretime

Hi all

I'm 21 and I've been lifting for about 4 years. I've jsut w/in the past year started lifting serisouly and have seen some results. I know not to expect an instant satisfaction, but I'm lookin to start a cycle soon. I currently take whey, CEE, and (when I can afford it) fish oil and multi's. I'm struggling w/ my diet but I'm working on it.

The qestion is, what to take? I'm completely ignorant to all steroids and cycles, and I need advice on a good beginner cycle, how to take it, doses, etc...

I really appreciate any help, thanks.

Sounds like you are a few years away from considering a steroid cycle son.

As of right now I still want to take a stab at it, that's why I'm asking for advice instead of blindly jumping into it and fucking myself up.

I'm just looking for what a good beginner cycle would be, I'm still contemplating doing it =/.

Test only is the best beginner cycle

Where would I get that?/How would I take it?/Doses?, Timeframe?/ Would I be taking any of that stuff to cancel out side effects and if so what?

Sorry to interrogate, but I really am that ignorant.

And Foreman, if it counts for anything, I jsut signed up today via reference, but you were one of the guys mentioned in good standing.

perhaps you will find that what you consider negatism is only intended to benefit you ..

Another guy afraid to dedicate himself before jumping on gear.........

Did you know that;

Anabolics have poor effect, or transitory effect, on athletes in mediocre condition; in addition, their tendency to boost muscle strength ahead of the strength of supporting tendons and ligaments can lead to debilitating injury in athletes without substantial prior training. Therefore, the athlete should have accumulated a significant amount of mature muscle mass and tendon strength through a dedicated program of resistance training prior to beginning anabolic use. Recognizing that there is substantial individual variability in training efficiency and effects, a minimum of 3 years, perhaps as many as 7, of dedicated weight training is required to achieve this necessary physical foundation, on which anabolics can be used safely and to best effect.

What should I take to cancel out the estrogen effects

Granted, but your first post truly was negative. I don't really care anymore now tho, I hold no grudges. Just curious about test as a cycle.

the thing is, usually people who dont use the search feature and ask questions that have been asked a hundred times usually get lambasted by people like foreman. hence the 'here we go again'.

im disapointed in you foreman.



Posted by: 1moretime

So as a cycle I'd be looking at:

Test E for 8 weeks(?) 800mg per week(? Does that mean one injection per week or do I split that up?)

followed by Nolva 40mg a day for 2 weeks, and then 20mg a day for 2 more weeks.

Nolva would also be used to combat and gyno effects and used for about 3 days after the problem subsides.

I'm still confused about how to take HCG and when; and which of these are injectables and which are oral?

I really do appreciate the help btw

lol, I'm sorry. As you can tell I'm new to the forum, and you're right, searching would have been a good decision. My fault, but I'm loving that word usage.

500MG a week is more than enough....done in 2 shots per week.....like monday and friday. You don't need HCG for an 8 week Test cycle.



Posted by: 1moretime

And should I take Arimidex solely for post-cycle w/ then nolva, or instead of?

So an 8 week cycle and the other things listed would be sufficient? Do I take Armidex with or instead of Nolva, and are those injections or oral?

Read the link I gave you, it has all kinds of cycles and explains in detail how each drug works and what it is for.

I did...

"Since it's a non-toxic, potent mass-builder its mostly used in long 10-12 week cycles. So some testicular shrinkage will have occurred too. Its very important that people see that HCG and Nolvadex/clomid are essential as a post-cycle therapy, and that both are equally important in achieving our goal. HCG injections should be started the last week of the cycle and continued for 3-4 weeks, using 1500-3000 IU every 5-6 days. HCG will act as an alternative to LH and start the endogenous testosterone cycle, thereby increasing testicle size once again. Then about 2 weeks after the last shot of testosterone is given, Nolvadex/Clomid cycle should be started. 40 mg of Nolva or 150 mg of Clomid per day for two weeks, followed by two more weeks with either 20 mg of Nolva or 100 mg of Clomid per day should be adequate. Always remember that HCG is suppressive of natural testosterone itself and should be discontinued at least 2 weeks prior to finishing Nolvadex/Clomid."


But I was thinking of doing an 8 week because it's my first, and I was asking if I should do that or jsut go straight into a 10-12 week cycle. The site also says to DEFINATELY take HCG but you told me not to, and I still have no idea whether to take nolva or armidex and if those are injectables or not.

get blood work then get doc to explain it to you ask many questions then if you all good run test c or e 1cc per week ten weeks
at your age you wont need any thing more go get some nolva before you start it will make a world of diference
if you have high bp or high cloresterol or sugar diabetesse just work out natural
jmo im no pro

After you read up-think about waiting until 25 or so. Max out naturally first, and then think about AAS.

It appears as though your mind is made up the indulge in AAS. I don't agree , however I respect your effects to learn a bit before stabb'n yourself with just anything. Bravo. As for my fellow members who kinda got on you a bit, it's all Love Homey. Real Talk. We see and hear so much of this as of late that it's just plain scarey. Give'm a pass, they give a shit bout you and on too much Juice to say it nice LOLOL.

Since you seem hell bent on this I'ma just throw this out there cause you seem like a smart guy. Go learn about compounds, what does what. Learn bout plasma level and why they are SO IMPORTANT ! Go learn bout half life and active life. Now while you research'n

I would suggest keep'n everything LOW DOSE ! You ain't Ronnie Coleman and don't need those kinda doseages. Lets say a conservative 400mg of say Test Cyp at 2 X 200mg weekly on a 4 day dose'n protocl never allow'n more than 80hrs between injects for 8 to 10 wks MAX. Once you understand half life and active life and how these can effect your plasma levels, you'll understand why I used hours instead of days as it relates to injection times. It would be Smart to have Arimidex ( Homework look up AIs) as well as Nolvodex ( also research SERM's ) and use it at .5ml EOD throughout your entire cycle. Thats as much game as I'ma give you. You gotta go find out bout PCT on your own.
Be smart, be safe, have fun............and DO YOUR HOMEWORK !!! (I might give you a pop quiz ! LOLOL)

Good Luck
Peace and Love

This, very true what he says about using AAS prematurely. ALso a reason why I don't suggest test only for first cycle, as it decreases collagen synthesis possibly leading to injury or permanent problems.

I do recommend HCG usage during cycle and for PCT. 250-500iu twice a week during cycle and 1000iu ed for 5 days post cycle which your start date with this will vary as to which compounds are used.

Nice post, though I suggest using just an AI during cycle, with PCT(post cycle therapy) and a little past pct. And I highly suggest aromasin. Nolvadex could be kept on hand incase of gyno occuring even with an AI, however only if you do not add a 19nor type AAS to your cycle such as deca. Don't use nolv with deca, npp, tren, etc.

Also use clomid in your PCT along with aromasin and HCG. This is a very effective PCT.

Finally, before you do anything, keep reading and researching. Never start any cycle until you have everything you need on hand and ready to go. This includes all AAS desired to run, all ancillaries such as AI's, SERM's and, HCG, if desired, syringes, etc.
