First cycle questions

[shifupitbull]

I'm about to start a cycle of super test 250. Just wondering if I could use a moderate dose, like 250mg a week to minimize side effects and still make moderate gains. I was given a unit of super test 250 by a friend, which contains 10 cc's at 250 mg/cc. I read some of the articles here, which suggested 500 mg/week. Would 250 be enough to make reasonable gains?

A big concern of mine is acne. I've been suffering with acne most of my life. I'm 30 yrs old and my acne just cleared up a couple years ago. Would a cycle at this dose cause serious acne? I just ordered some nolvodex to fight estrogen side effects. Should I wait for its arival to start my cycle, or is that something I can start later in the cycle?

I'm 5'8", 195 lbs. I would like to be at 215-220. Do I need to obtain more super test? If I use the suggested 500 mg/wk, it will only last 5 wks. Should I try to meet somewhere in the middle and use 250mg every 5 days?

I was blessed with an abundant amount of natural testosterone, so I'm thinking maybe a little boost will net big gains. But this is my first cycle, so I have no idea what will happen.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I think that 250 per week would not be enough, considering that you are nearly 200 pounds, 30 years old and your goal is to gain mass. As far as acne, you probably won't be able to eliminate it, but you can control it by prescription acne creams, using a tanning bed, and changing your bed sheets often.

As far a Nolva, I think that you don't need to use any unless you begin to notice soreness or puffiness in the nipples. I have always had Nolva on hand, but have never used it.

You'll put on at least 20 pounds. I would take some deca with it. Deca is good and has very little sides.

I agree that the 250/week will not be enough. I'm assuming this is your first cycle. I would try 500/week and see what kind of results that yields. For a lot of guys that is a low dose in itself, and typically low enough that a lot of people can avoid serious acne problems. If you're prone to acne, this could be problematic. I myself, naturally am not. Had very little as a teen and none in my adult years. When I'm on a cycle that involves test (which most do) then if I'm not careful, I can get ridiculous acne on my back and shoulders. Have to shower three times a day w/ an anti-acne soap, use astringents, and tan, otherwise it gets out of control. At that dose, I would just keep the nolva on hand and only use at the onset of symptoms if any should occur.

Hey Bigroid, did you mean 20 lbs on 250mg/wk, or more? If I use 500mg/wk, it will only last 5 wks, would that net more gains than 8 wks at 250mg every five days?

My buddy that hooks me up is on tour for a couple months, so I'm just wondering what's the best way to maximize what I have right now.

I'm putting on size naturally right now since I just started lifting again after a year off. But that will probably taper off soon.

Dude no flame because id never come out and claim to be an expert or guru, but your questions although honest seem basic in nature. You should research your drugs more and your Post Cycle Therapy because for the rest of your life in some way or another these drugs might affect your endocrine system if you use. Questions about PCT and and dosages are very basic. I would be neglectful if i did not at least recommend you to do search on Super Test you are using and nolva/clomid for PCT. The abundance of knowledge here could fill university text books in some rights as far as information so use what you have at your disposal before you take the pluge. I hope everything turns out well though and you find all the answers you need.
