I finally took the plunge

[shaved_head_in_NC]

After two years on this board, I've finally took the plunge and started my first cycle. I had been debating for months whether to wait until I got back to the states, or just go ahead and do a ten week cycle here in Iraq.
I'm 41, 6'3", currently at 221lbs, down from 240 a couple of months ago. Once I decided to go ahead and do my first cycle here in Iraq, I started hitting the cardio hard and kept my same work out routine to get my bf% down before starting the cycle. I'm currenlty between 13%-14% BF.

I am doing test e 250mg every 6 days. I have nolva on hand, and will have nolva/clomid for post cycle therapy (pct) waiting on me when I get home in mid January. I timed it out so my last shot will be a day or two before I leave Iraq.

First injection went well, although I was sweating my ass off from nerves. Did the injection in the right glute, aspirated, and injected to problem.

Thanks for the help to all the members that i've PMd in the past asking questions!!

thats a pretty mild cycle, but it all looks well thought out, you should do well on it. Its cool that you can actually do that, and hit the weights and everything while you are over there

Just to pitch in. I think the dosage is way too low, especially for your bodyweight. People on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) usually take 250 mgs of test e or cyp once about 7-10 days, so in reality what u are doing is simply shutting down your natural test and replacing it with a little more synthetic version. I suggest bumping up the test to 500 mgs/6 days.

Actually Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is usually prescribed at 100mg/week.

A normal person naturally produces 70mg/week at the most, so 250 mg is almost 3 times that, even with the ester weight taken into account.

A persons body weight has nothing to do wth how much testosterone they need or produce.

500mg E6D is 583mg/week..... too much for a first cycle.

shaved_head_in_baghdad: I had figured that you had already started that cycle a few weeks back. Congrats on finally taking the plunge after making many gains the old fashioned way; you've already got some nice stats. You'll probably be surprised to see how skinny my ass if after you finally come work out with us. But I'm 50 lbs heavier than a year ago and I'm headed in the right direction.

hey bro

glad it came in alright and was discete as mine was. i know you want to do a low dosage first cycle and i respect that your dosage will yield good results with your diet and training in check. you got a mess hall, so you got all the food you can stuff down your gut right?? thats better than a gram a week with bad diet.

happy growing my brotha
