My first cycle! Want some advice, thanks!

[Tank21]

Hey everybody, my name is Chad, new to this site and wanted to get some advice. Been reading a lot of these threads and most of you seem to only want to help.

With that said, I want to start my first cycle, been a gym rat for over 10 years, all natural. Currently 260lbs, 15% BF, 33 years old 6'2". I'm no chump in the gym, been on multiple pro hormones and have done well on them. I've done 2 tours in Iraq US Army. All we did over there is run missions and hit the gym. I've done some crazy shit, however I want to bring my game to the next level.

Want to run 50mg Anadrol, Test and possible Tren. Need everybody's advice...and GO!

Also want to add that I have ran test before about 2 years back.

Welcome! Can you tell us more about your previous test cycle?

Are you familiar with AI's, blood work, hCG, PCT, Dopamine Agonists?

What are your goals? Cutting? Put on some more mass? Is your diet in alignment with your goals?

Hey chad welcome! And you where correct to come here, these guys are nothing but helpful and helped me from making a lot of mistakes. I just recently came here for the same thing you are and would like to say the same thing these guys told me. Do your homework! It will help you out so much just to know what all to expect. This is what I did and it helped a lot.
1. Read all the stickys and take notes!
2. Wait a day and then read them all again.
3. Go over your notes and find anything you have questions on and research more.

Those steps alone helped me a ton. Megatrons FAQ was one of the most helpful and had a huge amount of links to help even more. Definetly answer all the questions that he had also so they can help you more and once you have everything figured out post another one with your cycle all planned out so they can give pointers. Pay special attention to the AI sections. If I would not have come on here I would have started a bad cycle with no AI and the incorrect PCT, and would have never thought of HCg. Look up all the AAS you are looking at and learn about every aspect of them and soon you will feel a lot more comfortable about this. Have fun reading! Your brain will soon feel like it's going to explode

Thanks for responding, yes very familiar with things listed, like I said before, ran multiple Pro hormones do familiar with PCTs. Also being a veteran a go get my blood work done on a normal basis.

Goal is to bulk up even more than I am now. My diet is really good and matches my goals.

Thanks bro appreciate it, that's all I've been doing is reading reading and taking notes. Have you done this particular cycle?

 

[Tank21]

Welcome! Can you tell us more about your previous test cycle?

My first test cycle was prescribed by my doctor at the VA, I'm sure it was a low dose, however ran it for 3 months. No side effects, put on about 10lbs.

Do you remember how many mg per week you were taking? Was it injections? If so, what ester? What did it put your estradiol at? Did you use an AI? What PCT did you run afterwards? Did you use hCG on cycle?

I know it seems like I am asking you a lot of questions, but it will help us guage how experienced you are which in turn will help us recommend a good next cycle.

The more specific you can be the better. Details are important.

What specific labs do you have run regularly. It would be helpful to see what your most recent blood work looks like. TT, LH, FSH, Estradiol, Prolactin, Meta-bolic Profile, CBC.

I promise I will help you out if you bear with me.

No I have not done that cycle I am actually just barely starting my first cycle and as recommended I am doing a test only cycle. And sense your first test experience seems to have been a TRT I would recommend the same as I believe everyone else would as well. My cycle is test E with Hcg and arimidex as the AI. Tren from what I have read and heard is not recommended on your first cycle though.

Ya lots of questions lol. Don't have a lot of that info on hand. Will take some time. They were injectable, did not run hcg. PCT was Competitive Edge Labs. I was taking Test cypyonate 50mg

Also did not do AI and my estradiol came back normal. As far as my blood work and the TT, LH ect, don't have that on hand right now, thanks for your help so far

 

[Megatron28]

I know it is a lot, but hopefully this is giving you a sense for the things that one needsnto think about when running a cycle. It isn't just "Pin it and forget it.".

 

[Tank21]

I hear ya!

Anybody else have some advice?

Yes... me!

Listen to Megatron. His questions are all relevant and need answering. Only once you have learned from your 1st cycle, can you start to move on and plan your 2nd one.

Personally I feel you are too inexperienced to run Tren at this stage... I don't think you should dabble with that compound until you have at least half a dozen cycles under your belt.

For sure, I'd keep it simple and just add one compound to a Test cycle.
You could either run a higher Test dose than previous, with a Dianabol kick start.
Or my personal preference would be to run Deca alongside the Test.

I always recommend introducing just one new compound on each cycle, so that you can learn how your body reacts to it.
If you throw 2 new ones into the mix - and suffer sides - you have no idea what has caused them.

And most importantly - DO NOT START a cycle - until you have EVERYTHING you need for the duration - and that includes PCT!

Good luck OP - you're in the right place

Welcome to the board. You're here and seem to be listening. That's the first step to being on the right track. Good luck

Ok that's fine have no problem holding off on the Tren. How about just a higher dose of Test and Anadrol 50 for first cycle?

So I will recommend you tune your training and diet for 6 more months and drop your body fat while you research what to do and what not to do. I would ask yourself what your goals are and your expectations. Are they realistic ? Are they worth the risks. It would suck to have a great looking body and not be able to get it up and use it.
