Can someone send me a link or thread with a good introduction to testosterone use and PCT. There is a lot of info out there but I can't find anything that has good summarized general information. The is a great sticky for pro-hormones in the supplement section and I was wondering if there was an equivalent one for steriods.

Mudge, Foreman, Tough, and Pirate really know their shit as well if you can't find what you're looking for. They'll tell you what kind of cycle to do, then Trouble will tell what it all means....

1. Be at least 21-23 years of age.
2. Have been lifting well for several years.
3. Have a detailed understanding of diet and nutrition.
4. Have a detailed understanding of any substance they wish to put into their body.
5. Consider the following cycle:

Weeks 01-10 500mg Test E - two injections per week @ 250mg
Weeks 11-12 Maintain clean diet and lifting
Weeks 13-14 40mg Nolvadex per day
Weeks 15-18 20mg Nolvadex per day
10mg a day until you feel normal again

Now you know and don’t need to ask

Thanks for the info. I have steps 1-3 covered (38yrs old, lifting regularly 5 years, track diet on Excel, only 1 cheat day a week) and Im currently working on step 4. This will obviously be my first and hopefully only cycle so I would like to keep it simple. The stickies talk a lot about the improtance of HCG in the post cycle therapy, is this overrated. Also, if gyno becomes an issue would I start the Nolva earlier in the cycle?? If so what would that program look like? Thanks again for the help!!

These guys are still hung up on the whole test thing. Deca, keep it between 300-400 mgs per week. Eight week cycle, get off, no pct. Simple as that. And it will not shut you down unless you are an old impotent viagra pill popper. The fewer drugs the safer. In fact, don't take any of it. I'm doing fine without this junk.

Some of the worst advice I have read here in months.

Deca does indeed cause suppression just as anything else does, even anavar causes suppression. Deca alone does not work for everyone, I would venture to say it doesn't work very well for many. You can find plenty of young males who run into problems using deca even running testosterone with it.

Some respond quite well, I for one didn't find it that exciting.

P.S. This DRUG is used for chemical castration in the United States.

What doses do they use for chemical castration? Just curious, was also wondering if test or deca could act as birth controll during cycle.


Posted by: Mudge

Unreliable birth control, you are going to war with statistics and hoping to win but you have no idea unless you get tested yourself.

And, it only takes 1 to get the job done.

Doses I wouldn't know of, it may well vary from person to person just like HRT. There are some references though if you'd like to search on your own. Some people take 400mg of deca alone and have zero problems, other people look at it and go limp. Not everyone is the same.

If you are on cycle all the time then yes it is very good birth control, my wife and I used no birth controll for 3 years and she didn't get pregnant, plus I had several friends in the same boat. But when I came off cycle she got knocked up fast.

Supposedly it takes around 6 months to fix azoospermia, which means post cycle most people wont fix the problem.

Yet others who are on multiple grams of drugs per week, will impregnate their wives while on cycle.

EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT.

OK, so Deca was bad advice. Back to the post for a first time cycle on Test.

The cycle is fine. If gyno does appear, you would start nolva early at 40mg.

Where do you do your research or do you just make shit up as you go? Deca most certainly shuts you down. Each person's different as to how much, but it will definitely shut you down.


Posted by: Power321

Deca must be taken with TEST, or its a waste , yes it will lean you out and you may gain 5 lbs, but it will evenutally shut you down, Tset will counter the shut down, and synergistically add to the DECA giving awsome results, it is said that arnolds favorite cycle was a deca, test combo its my favorit as well hands down the best.
