Three quick questions about TEST-E :-)

[GMTPepsi]

Hi guys,
First of all - so nice to see a forum like this, that helps each other. Faith in humanity restored, lol.

1) Test-e 500mg. Should you inject 250mg twice a week - og 500mg once per week? This is for a "first cycle".

2) AI, should you take 0.25 or 0.5 each day?

3) When would you expect to feel and see the first small "baby-results" when beginning on a Test-e 12 week cycle? After 2-3 weeks?

Best regards - and have a wonderfull weekend!

Pin once or twice, up to you, you’ll get a million opinions.

Do no take an AI. It’s not what he shit was intended for. Get Pre Cycle Bloodwork done, and then Mid Cycle Bloodwork done. Don’t add an AI just because Bro Science says so.

Prolly around weeks 3-6 you will start seeing the Nectar do its thing. Strength Increase, body comp changes, libido increase, etc.

I agree that either once or twice a week could be fine. Though if it were me I’d certainly do twice a week, aiming to keep levels constant throughout the seven day week.

I don’t think an AI will be needed daily at all. Especially not the first couple weeks. Perhaps a few weeks in I’d do about 0.5mg 2-3 times per week, max. Your estrogen results may vary from mine. Keep in mind there is more than one type of AI out there. Arimidex is what many people use, and seems to be what you’re referring to.

For me some effects felt by 3 weeks in, thereabouts. It does build up over time. I tend to notice libido and need for less sleep as signs. Some people choose to ‘front load’ longer esters like Test E. I do. The idea is double the dose on week one only (1000mg), to hopefully achieve higher blood levels sooner. Others don’t believe in this, to each his own. Have your PCT in order and the products needed in hand. Good luck!

Do not run your AI until you know you need it unless you want to fuck yourself up.. You probably wont even need it. I feel test E after a couple days (sex drive and strength) but results arent until end of week 2.

A good sign for AI need is pre cycle bloods. Let's say your natural total test is 800. If E2 or Estradial is lower end of range you will probably be fine. If E2 is high at 800 then boosting total test to 2000-2500 is certainly going to make it way worse so I'd start with modest AI and then evaluate on mid cycle bloods.

 

[Monstar]

BTW Aromasin is IMO the AI of choice. Hard to crash E2, no rebound effect, easy to manage, better for lipids (though I notice no dif in bloods).

Anything over 300mg i like to do twice a week. Always felt like i didn't get acne if i do twice a week but once a week I'll start to break out.

Also, you can get an AI, but i wouldn't mess with it. 500mg is typically pretty well tolerated by people. I would rather have my estrogen a bit high than accidentally tank it.

My preferred thing to do, is if you're doing a pct afterwards you should have nolva. If you start to feel gyno coming just take that instead of mega dosing your ai for the next week.

 

[BigBaldBeardGuy]

Good advice from everyone regarding the AI.

As far as once a week pinning vs twice a week, from a hormone standpoint you’ll be fine either way. I would recommend you pin twice a week though since this is your first cycle and you’re pinning virgin muscles. 2 ccs once a week could cause PIP where 1 cc is absorbed pretty easily. Make sure you rotate pinning sites.

Every 3.5 days is good. Most just do like Monday/Thursday
2) AI, should you take 0.25 or 0.5 each day?
Only blood work can give you a true answer here. Example is if I were to only use 500mg I'd probably just do 1/2mg the day after each pin and going off my cycle history that would probably work well

3) When would you expect to feel and see the first small "baby-results" when beginning on a Test-e 12 week cycle? After 2-3 weeks?
If diet is in line, 3-4 weeks

Test E is always my base during bulking and I personally inject once a week. I start to feel it and see effects around week 4. My AI is only used if I start getting sides, then I do a blood draw to see levels.

1). 2x per week will yield more stable levels than 1x per week.

2). Start at the lowest dose and gauge your response. Don't go throwing it in for no reason either.

3). 4 weeks before you'll probably notice that anything is happening.

4). Get off my lawn.

Bloodwork . No one can answer your AI question without bloodwork .

How old are you?

Stats?

 

[Ophydian]

I pinned E3D toward the end of my cycle because the hormone spike twice a week was too much for me mentally. I couldn’t imagine 48hrs after a 500mg with my first cycle. The peak and valley would be too steep.

 

[RealET]

For more stable levels, I inject every third day. Simple math yields around 214mg per injection, so I round down to 200mg per injection because it’s better to be on less than more.

This is just how I do it, because I only encounter side effects with hormone fluctuations
