DJ- Have you done any real research? You state that you are wanting to take your 1st cycle but don't know where to begin. Well, I'll point you in the right direction. First, go to
www.google.com; start typing in questions that you might have. I promise you'll find answers. Or do what most of us did. Use Ology's search function and read thread after thread. All the information you'll ever need to know is on this website and can be found rather easy using the 'search' function.
TIPS:
*First cycle is always just straight Test 12-16 weeks long 400-600mg (split by 2 injects each week). Test is the BASE of ALL cycles (meaning that Test should be used in every cycle.
*PCT is needed for EVERY cycle (do your own research); commons are nolva & clomid; AI's can also be used such as Aromasin & Arim.
*Needles sized for most areas: 23g-25g 1-1 1/2"
*1CC=mg's of the steroid in the vial (example, if your TEST is 300mg you will be shooting 300mg of test per 1cc).
RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH. I honestly researched for 4 months before I did anything.
Also, you have stated that you have used PH's in the past. I'm really hoping that some of this is redundent or your going to be in trouble before you even start.
PS: Before anyone is going to be of any more help you MUST list your stats. AGE, SEX, weight, height, diet, routine, past cycles, etc
