Midway through first cycle need some advice.

[Acadia88]

Some stats

26 y/o
Started cycle at 180lbs

13.9-14.5 body fat

Lifting since high school


Current weight 190lbs

Test C twice/week 1ml

AI on hand but so far not needed.


This cycle was put on for me by another lifter that is experienced and gear was also provided by him.

Around week 4-5 my weight shot up to almost 200lbs assuming from water since from what i understand test C retains more water than test E?? Around week 8-9 my weight went down to 185-190 and thats were am at right now.

Few questions i have

Is test E that much better than C?

I've done a lot of reading on diff forums now most people use mg when referring to amounts how do you convert to 1ml?

Whats a good pct and how many days after my 12 week cycle should i start and what amount?

Next cycle i want to combine deca and test how long is it recommended between cycles.

I feel like I've over paid to much for this cycle when i tried to do a source check on this forum the link is broken can anyone point me in the right direction.

You really need to read the sticky threads here and start doing a LOT of homework. Your buddy at the gym is giving you bad advice.

First rule of cycling is that you never start until you have everything in hand. Starting without having your PCT medications was a really irresponsible decision.

AI on hand but so far not needed? Where do you think all that water retention is coming from? It is called high estradiol due to your testosterone aromatizing into estradiol. Start using the AI.

There is no discernible difference between Test E and C. One does not cause more water retention than the other.

You vial should tell you how many milligrams are in each millileter. Just read the bottle and do the math.

Let's get through this cycle before even thinking about the next one.

Source checks and price talk are against the rules of this site. Please refrain from doing so.

Seriously... start doing your homework before you hurt yourself and get gyno or end up on TRT the rest of your life -- or both.

Megatron's right.
I would seriously peruse this site and check the sticky's b4 you do a 2nd cycle.
There is totally not enough info for anyone to give you any advice. Listen to Megatron, especially about using your AI, having all your gear in hand and planned, and PCT is more important than your cycle.
You're in your mid 20's, and your balls are still doing their job...producing large amounts of testosterone. You can mess yourself up without proper studying and preparation.
No one on this site is above you or talking down to you, we just see all the horror stories and don't want you to become one.
If you trust your gear, use your AI, finish your cycle, and get your hands on some nolva or clomid (pref. Both). Study the pct threads and do a complete pct.
Good luck. Study up.
