First Cycle (newbie)

[Antoine87]

Gonna be starting my first ever cycle soon, looking for advice in any area really.

Im planning on 500mg of test enanthate a week (12 weeks or 10?) and also getting nolvadex for PCT and if side effects kick off from the oestrogen.

In terms of PCT ive heard mixed things about whether nolva is enough on its own and what dosages to use, so please give pointers there if possible.

All advice/questions welcome

If you have test 250, might as well do 10 weeks because that way all you need is exactly 2 vials.

If I were to make a "first steroid cycle for dummies" book, this would be my recommended first cycle.

Week 1-12: Test E @ 500mg's a week
Although you hopefully won't need it, get something like arimidex.
Week 8-12: hcg @ 500iu 3x a week
Week 14: clomid @ 100/day - nolva @ 40/day
Week 15: clomid @ 75/day - nolva @ 40/day
Week 16-17: clomid @ 50/day - nolva @ 20/day

Make sure you do bloods before hand to get your baseline and also check your estrogen. About 6-8 weeks in get them done again just to make sure everything is good, then personally I prefer two weeks after pct to get them done again to see how well I recovered.

This is imo pretty good advice... only thing I disagree with would be the hcg... I'd either run it week 3 through 10 at 500 iu a week or start it at week 10 after last pin and go 500 iu every 4 days.... in the case of hcg, more is not always better and the smaller the dose you can get by with, the better off you are in the long run. Especially if you plan to cycle for several years..

Any "first cycle" should begin with pre-cycle labs.

Post a PIC of yourself, absent identifying facial features, and cite your goals, and reason for using AAS.

Only ONE SERM should be "needed" at your age and the TT dose/duration you're considering, IME

MOST IMPORTANT, DO NOT CYCLE UNTIL YOU HAVE PRE-cycle bloods in hand

^^Whatever this guy says ^^, listen to him. Lol

While on this cycle....dont forget to eat eat eat....500 to 750 over tdee focus on protein and complex carbs.
200 to 250 grams protein.
Also lift Heavy shit and get as much rest as possible...6 to 8 hours of good solid sleep.
Pre...mid and end of cycle bloods will give u a solid baseline for future cycles too.
Good luck

Huge thanks for all the advice, especially on the PCT and all. With bloodwork i was on accutane up untill july, they took regular bloodwork for this and i was all good, so would you still recommend the bloodwork being done?

Also ima go with the advice on adex, nolva and clomid as ive heard similar advice before.

Yes always get bloods there's no excuse to not get it done. Good luck bud
