Dummy Question here, but please if I don't ask how will I ever know. thanks

[aRoKz89]

trying to figure things out here and need help, might be a stupid question but i really don't unbderstand.

whats is an MG?

what's the difference between, for example 300mg of test to 600 mg test?

I know these might be considered stupid ass questions for most of the memebers here but i'm really confused when someone puts down there cycle and puts 10/20/30/40 test week 1.

can someone just explain this process of the measurement.

and for those to are going to make fun of me for not knowing these things, go ahead but i'd rather feel dumb instead of being dumb by not knowing this important questions.

I just want to learn, not goin to do a cycle anytime soon because i am still getting my diet down and my workout routine down.

But i do know for my first cycle i'm going to start off with TEST and follow it up with a nolva or clomid for my PCT.

milligram (1/1000th of a gram). Vials will usually give a concentration of mg/ml, which means number of milligrams per every one milliliter. So test e is usually 250mg/ml, which means 250 milligrams per every one milliliter.

Also the (40/40/40 etc..) is refer in to how many MSG per week /per day

Example clomid 50/50/50/50
Means 50mg for 4 weeks every day

Most test is 250milligrams per milliliter. So for 300mg of test per week (two shots of 150mg) you will draw 0.6ml into a syringe. For 600mg per week (divided into two shots of 300mg) you will draw 1.2ml of test (assuming it is dosed at 250mg/ml).

If you want to calculate your dose just divide how much you want to take by the dosage on the vial. Ex: I want to take 750mg so (750)/250=3ml.

Nobody is going to make fun of you. Those are valid questions. I think you'll find the vast majority of people here are happy to help educate noobs.

You'll also see the abbreviations "ED" and "EOD" relatively frequently, which stand for every day and every other day.

Now I'm understanding more and more. Thanks for everyone's input ya have been very helpful.
Most test vials come with 10 ml of 250mg/ml right? So if I'm goin to do my first cycle for 10wks at 300mg a week I'm goin to need to but two vials.
Would you guys recommend doing 250mg a week so I don't have to pay for another vial? LoL

Depending on how your body metabolizes the compound you might end up with total testosterone levels in the high normal range for a healthy male on a dosage of 250mg a week. On average if I had to take an educated guess you would probably end up with a total free testosterone of around 1000-1400.

What does that mean to you? Basically, you will be shutting down your own natural body's testosterone production to basically end up slightly above normal testosterone production. Then having to go through PCT. That is a lot of undue stress to your body with very little reward to show for it.

Just by going up to 400 mg per week on biweekly injections you would put pretty much the same amount of stress on your body, but the results would be night and day compared to what you propose (all other things being equal).

Hope this helps you.

Ok so your telling me pretty much a 400mg a week compared to a 250mg a week shot of test have the same damage but with different gains? If that's the case I might save my money and buy a second vial

I recommend that you save some more money and get HCG. 5000 IU at the very least, so that you can run it during your cycle. And dont forget the Aromatase inhibitor (AI).

250mg/week is really low. Check out this link. It compares the results of 300mg/week vs 600mg/week. The consensus around here is that a beginner cycle should be 500mg/week test-e.

Good advice. You're definitely going to want to do some research before you start anything. I've yet to run a cycle myself, so there are a lot of people more qualified than me to give advice. I'm just regurgitating what I've read here on the forums. The best place to start is by taking your time and reading through all of the stickies. Some of it might be hard to understand the first time you read them, but there are plenty of people here who will clarify any questions you have.
