Finally! Starting first cycle. Cycle, PCT, first time pinning, etc.

CroMag

Death Is Certain
This post serves no real purpose other than to announce that I finally started my first cycle yesterday. I feel compelled to post about it because I received a lot of solid information and guidance from the members on this board.

I'm running 500mg a week (250 Sun, 250 Wed) for 10 week. Nothing additional except for the standard protein, creatine, multivitamin, and milk thistle.

For PCT i'll be taking 50mg of Clomid per day for 30 days.

I also have a supply of Anabol 10's but I'm not going to incorporate them into my cycle. Since this is my first cycle I want to see how my body reacts before I start stacking AAS's.

My first pin? Well...it kind of went both ways. The bad - opening the ampule. Trust me...I've read about all you can read (and watched vids too) about opening and drawing from an ampule. The top of the thing shattered. I'm pretty sure this is due to cheap glass. There was a line on the thinnest part of the neck (as if it were scored), but I don't think it was. I didn't lose any Test but it pissed me off and fucked up my mojo for a second. The good - pinning was easy. I'm using 23 guage 1.5" needles and injected into my outer quad. I experienced some very slight tenderness at the point of injection but I'm good to go now. No stiffness, no soreness.

Again - no real point to this other than to say thanks to all the guys that gave me advice and helped steer me in the right direction.
 
Aren't you supposed to use a file to cut ampules and a syringe filter to draw? I've never used ampules personally, but I swear I remember something about that. Let us know how your cycle goes! :)

Scoring with a nail file is certainly one method commonly used. These ampules have the appearance of a score mark but clearly it didn't work! Ha ha! I didn't lose any Test but it certainly isn't the way I wanted my session to go down. No harm, no foul. As far as a filtered needle is concerned - from what I understand it, for the most part, is optional. A piece of glass would have to be pretty small to go up the shaft of the needle and come back out into the muscle. Not saying it can't happen...it probably has to somebody, somewhere - but I think I'll be ok. I'll be sure to let you guys know how everything goes. Thanks for the support, guys!

Most of the amps i used to use would snap off clean at the line. I love vials tho. Mostly because every gear iv gotten in amps has turned out fake haha
 
Damn! Ha ha...that's no good. Hope I didn't get ripped off.

I wouldn't worry about it - you could alway have a blood test in 4 or 5 weeks.

For my first cycle - it took about six weeks and for sure week seven to really see things start to happen ... Maybe a little sooner as it was gradual.

Keep us posted.
 
Thought maybe you wanted to buy 1000 of these babies. I don't know if they work. Keep us posted :laugh4:

on a serious note you don't need a syringe filter when drawing from amps. It is really the same concept as when you open a pin just don't touch it and it will stay sterile.

Congrats on your first one. You won't be as attractive anymore because most of us like virgins. Kidding...

You sound like you know what you are doing so keep us all posted! feel free to send me a message if you want to pick my brain. I love talking about this stuff.
