First cycle

[Meecedes.1965]

So I am new to gear, but have been working out for about 2 years solid. Stats are as follows 6'0, 210lbs, 16%BF, required to have labs done every year due to job and it showed on the last one my testosterone levels are low to begin with.

I have done a lot of research, have found some sources, and am serious.

I have ordered 2 vials of test e, anadrol (because I read to use that oral the first couple weeks to feel the pump early), and novadex on the way. What am I forgetting? I am doing an only test e cycle as my first so I know how I react to that without adding the anadrol until my second cycle.

My workouts always end with a 2 mile run, or 30mins of some other cardio to keep up with it and not get too focused on gains.

Any suggestions for a new gear user? I'm open to all criticism, and welcome pm's.

My goal is to gain size, but also to lose weight and to tone down. I have been dieting religiously for the past 4 months, and am in a solid routine with that, and I bumped that cardio up to its current point about 7 months ago.

Thanks guys and gals.

What were your test levels?

 

[Meecedes.1965]

About 530. The tech said it should be around 670 bit until I hit 500, I am fine

 

[Cajun897]

You forgot ai

 

[Meecedes.1965]

You forgot ai

Can you please explain the use of AI to me? Some people say use it if you need it or take it everyday.

Keeps your estrogen levels under control. You want to start it when you start your cycle. You dont want to wait until you have gyno to start taking it right?

To keep your estrogen down to avoid sides that arise from high estro

Look from arimadex/adex/anastrozole
.5mg e3d or eod.. Will vary on everyone... Some lucky people have 0 issues with aromitization

Oops we answered at the same time

Is arimidex the same as those other three? And dosages at those levels are beginning and I can work from that point?

 

[Jaye j]

Yes all 3 are the same.. Just different names/lingo used for it.. I can't see needing anymore than .5mg every other day.. But as I mentioned.. Everybody is different... If you start getting sensitive or puffy nips.. Then up the dose

If you get tabs you can probably start .5mg every 3 days... Liquid can probably get away with .25 every other day

Ive been using .5mg every 3 days just fine.. But i also only do 300mg test a week

Also, OP anadrol is a pretty harsh compound. It's not generally something that is recommended for a first cycle. Generally, cycle progression goes something like:

1st cycle: Test E 500mg/week for 12 weeks. Some people choose to add dianabol as their oral for their first cycle, but this is technically running a 2 compound cycle.

2nd cycle: Test E 500mg/week for 12 weeks, 30-50mg dbol ED for weeks 1-4.

3rd cycle: Test E 500mg/week for 12 weeks, Deca 400mg/week for 10 weeks, Dbol 30-50mg weeks 1-4

Was between deca and tren for my 2nd cycle.. Decided on tren and I'm a believer now! If you're a level headed patient person it's not as bad as everyone says! I worked my way up to 500mg a week and it was still bearable. Definitely varies... I really wanna give deca a try though

the thing that was left out is doing bloods , you aren't going to know you estro levels without doing bloods guessing at a dosage is not the way to go .
