First cycle specific questions

[truk9889]

Starting my first cycle soon had a few questions
Height 6'1
Weight 183
bf 12%
age 24
cycle goal 15-20lbs maintain around 12% bf
Doing a 12 week cycle of test c 400mg/week for post cycle therapy (pct) i have Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) nolvadex and clomid. For the test, should I pin 200mg twice a week or 400 once a week? I'm going to get blood work done again in week 6 to see where my levels are. I have aromosin as well but dont plan on taking it unless i develop signs of gyno or my bloodwork indicates I need it. what would be a good post cycle therapy (pct) with what i have? will also be getting bloodwork done again after post cycle therapy (pct). any other suggestions or precautions are welcomed, thanks

if ur only doing 400mg , split it into 2 dose so 200mg 2x a week , keep bloods more stable . u should always be taking aromasin or your Aromatase inhibitor (AI) DESPITE having symptoms of gyno or not , its about controlling estrogen and PREVENTING sides , nt taking care of them when u get them , high estogen can cause sides u cant see - high blood pressure et. use it . post cycle therapy (pct) should be clomid 50/50/50/50/ and nolva 40/40/20/20/ ( thats 4 weeks on thoses doses per day )

should i ditch the hcg?

 

[fancyhuh101]

no why ? Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is great to use , it keeps the testes running so that u can have an faster and smoother recovery in post cycle therapy (pct) depending how much u have i can suggest hoe to use it , IF u only have 1 5000iu vial , just blast it before post cycle therapy (pct) to wake em up , so do 500iu for 10 days straight STOPPING it 5 days before u start post cycle therapy (pct) , so time it like that , otherwise if u have enough to run entire cycle , use it at 250iu 2x a week (500iu total ) till 5 days before post cycle therapy (pct) again

I only have one vial. so after my 12 week test cycle, run the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) for 10 days, wait 5 days then start my pct?

I would boost the test to 500/w, works best with your stats and goal.
Safer to run Aromatase inhibitor (AI), low dose. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), I would ditch it or 10 day blast after last injection.
Only clomid or nolva would do the post cycle therapy (pct) for you. Make a habit of doing 6 week post cycle therapy (pct) than for.
Clomid: 100/100/50......
Nolva: 40/40/20....

yes exactly , with test e u wait 2 weeks before u start post cycle therapy (pct) , so in that time is when u use the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) , stopping it 5 days before the pct

i was planning on using an 18g pin to draw 25x1.5" pin with a 3cc syringe to inject the test. do i need a new pin to draw every time or just to inject? would this also work for my clomid/nolva?

 

[methos]

I always use a new pin for everything. Better to be safe than sorry. And you are only talking about a couple dollars. Not sure what you meant by having "it work for clomid/nolva"? Clomid and Nolva are not injectable.

 

[methos]

By the way that is great advice above. I hit the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) post cycle and I seem to recover better than when I run low doses on cycle.

new pin every time even to draw?

New pin every time.
Don't risk an infection and a $10000 hospital bill to save .20 cents

new pin every time even to draw?

Ive been cheap and used the same one to draw as well :/ lol...but I recap it and put it in a ziplock bag

 

[truk9889]

I agree. Why do you use an 18g to draw then a 25g to inject? Could you just draw and inject with the 25g?

 

[lee1092]

18g is easier to draw the test out with. You dont want to draw and inject with same needle though.....I just draw with the same needle and inject with a new one each time

 

[Roush]

Just get the syringes that have the drawing pin already attached.. Then buy a packet of 23g pins.
Draw, pop off the pin and pop on the 23 g injection pin. That's what I do

do i want 1" or 1.5" for test in the glutes?

 

[lee1092]

do i want 1" or 1.5" for test in the glutes?

Ive been using 1in, but man in my glutes its even hard to get out of my car...I think I am going to try to my quad

 

[Roush]

do i want 1" or 1.5" for test in the glutes?

For the glute I use both 1" and 1.5" and switch it up on occasion. Reasoning behind this is that it helps with scar tissue by altering the 'deposit' depth of the steroid.
- for the quad I use just 1" though.

Note: if u got a fat ass though, I'd recommend just 1.5"

last question hopefully , my first blood test is scheduled tomorrow morning at 10am. i got my four wisdom teeth removed yesterday. should i wait until that is fully healed before getting my blood work done?
