First cycle concerns

[smallBecomingBigger]

I am not a complete beginner - but pretty close! - I have done a course of Anabol and did get some significant results (mass and strength). I was previously 100% against injecting and this world of steroids but after coming across this great site I feel somewhat more confident that with this wealth of good knowledge and by paying attention to the side effects (well outlined on this site) the risks and dangers are vastly reduced. I certainly did not think I would ever start stacking drugs but want to position myself so as I can. Although I did make gains using Anabol I was disappointed by the reduction post-use. I am going to take JCP2’s advice following his awesome article - Before you ask "how about this for a first cycle" read this - and begin by going on a cycle of test.

I was thinking that I would start with the following 4 week cycle:
Novladex
Days 1 to 14: 40mg/day
Days 15 to 30: 20mg/day

Testoviron Enanthate
500mg/week – 250mg every 84 hours

I am terrified at the thought of gyno and don’t know whether I am being over cautious taking the Novladex. JCP2 suggested that the first cycle is to test the water and see how one behaves with test alone and if I am taking Novladex I will never know whether I need to take precautionary action or not. Should I have some at the ready in case I notice the onset (itchy breasts, lumps beneath the nipples and/or reddening of the skin)? I am aware that Novladex reduces the effectiveness of the test slightly but if I am really concerned is the loss versus peace of mind worth it? Any comment here would be greatly received.

Depending on how well the first cycle goes I am going to run a cycle of Test and either Deca or Anadrol and Novladex.

My final concern is regarding the delivery of the products. I am going to order from a US company but will have it delivered to the UK. Any advice and/or experience, again, would be very gratefully received.

Thanks in advance for your comments and I am really impressed with the wealth of knowledge and depth of solid, practical information available within this community.

How much did you weigh prior to the Andriol cycle? How heavy were you a month after it was done? How heavy are you now? What about age, height, bf%? How long have you been lifting?

Sorry mranak, I took Dianabol for about 6 weeks. I was about 12st before (76Kg) at the end of the cycle I was just under 15st (95Kg) and now (1 month after) am just under 14st (89Kg). - addmittedly a lot bigger still than before and I have managed to maintain most of my strength gains.

I am 27 and am 5'11. I have been lifting consistently for 2 years.

No reason to be sorry.

The cycle you laid out is good. Don't worry too much about the gyno because it is easy to control gyno from testosterone (actually, estradiol) with Nolvadex. If you want to be extra cautious, then order some Letro from reserach-ology as well.

I'm pretty sure research-ology ships to the UK without problem, but maybe somebody will tune in for that.

Start post cycle therapy (pct) 2 weeks after your last injection.

Thanks mranak, I have taken your advice onboard. I think I will be starting this in about 6 weeks time, but am very excited and want everything clear and certain in my mind first.

I should have mentioned in the last post, that although I made some pretty impressive gains with the Dianabol, I made a point of eating as much carb and protein as I could throughout the cycle and it wasn't, of course, all lean gains. I am currently trying to maintain my good mass gains but losing excess weight. I probably made about 10Kg of good gain.

...thanks again!
