I'm new with questions about first cycle.

[RudyRue]

hey guys, for the most part I've been lurking around the forums for sometime now reading article after article and trying to pick up on proper usage as much as I can. Needless to say I'm not looking to get big or compete for any medals or anything of that nature, I simply want to feel better and maintain a good feeling of strength about myself (losing it as I get a bit older). So, the stats...


AGE:30
Height: 6"0
Weight: 180lbs
Body Fat: 8.1%
LBM: 165.3%

From previous questions and talks with a friend about my decision to give steroids a try he suggested something like this for my first cycle, however..I always like a second opinion.

week 1-12 (TEST) 600mg 2x per week @300mg
week 13-18 (clomid) 50mg 1x per day.


I would really like to keep things not so complicated. However, please inform me of any changes that I could make to benefit myself in a more healthier manner.

My Workout Schedule:

12hrs daily steel and concrete worker, which is why I need my lost strength back...just sayin..

On my 2 days off per week I do a pretty simple set of workout routines lasting a maximum of about 2hrs.

On another note, what kind of immediate effects would a cycle like this leave me with if I decided it was not for me and discontinued using after my first cycle? Please tell me I wouldn't end up with "Bitch Tits"...just saying not trying to offend anyone.

Any and all help is appreciated, keep in mind I am a newbie!!

what kind of test? that is determining factor in your post cycle therapy (pct). you have it to where you start post cycle therapy (pct) immediately after last shot. you want to give the body time to clear out the exogenous test before you begin any type of post cycle therapy. for a first cycle test E or test Cyp would be preferable, in that case you want to wait about 2 weeks after last shot before beginning post cycle therapy (pct). i would run the clomid 100mg per day for the first week and then 50mg per day for weeks 2, 3 and 4. i don't know why you would think it's not for you and discontinue use early, but if you were to go that route you just need to make sure you are still doing a post cycle therapy as any amount of AAS for any amount of time will shut you down. I would also suggest looking into Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and revamp your workout routine before beginning this venture into the world of steroids.

Actually your friend is doing you mostly right which is pretty rare from what most of the other "first cycle" threads on here.

Your test is spot on if you're doing test e or c. Your clomid dosage is good but 4 weeks should be good enough and wait two weeks until the test e/c clears. Nolva can be ran side by side the clomid during post cycle therapy (pct). Some do this, some do not. You'll want to have an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on hand (arimidex or aromasin) in case gyno symptoms flare up and you can consider HCG.

You will not find consensus on the usage of the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) nor with the HCG. Some use both on cycle, some have Aromatase inhibitor (AI) just in case, some blast Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) in between the cycle and post cycle therapy (pct), some use neither (do get an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) for sure just in case)...you're just going to have read everything you can find and draw your on conclusion. That's pretty much what I'm doing.

Most importantly keep reading and keep asking questions. There's a wealth of information in the stickies and from the board vets who are pretty good about taking care of people who want to learn.

Good luck and welcome to the 'ology.

also based on your stats it does seem gyno would be a problem for you, but did you have any gyno issues when going through puberty? even if you didn't i would have an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on hand just in case.
