Copy pasting my old comment, :
The novice 500 mg test only cycle is stupid, Your 1st Cycle should be about learning the Ropes with Safety to output ratio Maxxed.
I know the novices want their shit simple as per the KISS thing, but atleast they should be aware about:
Do you know you reduce your PCT/recovery baseline time to around 6-7 weeks by switching to Test Prop and pinning it daily?
Different esters have different Testosterone base content
Prop- 84%
En -72%
cyp- 70%
so you get 20% more T exposure on Prop compared to En/Cyp ester, that is SIGNIFICANT over 12-20 weeks cycle.
weekly basis = 400 mg of Prop ~ 500 of En/Cyp
You will Likely be only learning what you can and cant get out of your 1st cycle, Do 300-350 mg weekly max.
The Number 1 Mistake done that wastes 1st cycles if NOT Dialing in Your Diet, Sleep and training.
