Need help planning my first cycle

[somalipirate]

i been lifting for a consistent year and half, my stats are 22 years old 5'10 and 84 kgs @ around 18% bodyfat

im not planning to take the juice any time soon, i am thinking end of this year or early to mid next year.

i have a few questions and thought this is would be the best place to get experienced and mature answers.

what are chances of going impotent ?

and how about risks of devoloping cancer in the future ?

and how bout the gains ? are they kept after stopping the synthetic hormones ? <-- this is a reason why i dont want to take it now as i want to build as much natural base muscle as possible

and im planning to do it only once, so i want to get the most of this cycle, i dont plan on being a Pro BB'er just want to get descently big and ripped

what is a good first proper cycle ? how many weeks should it last ?


also i have done the stupidist thing i ever have done, when i was 19 3 years ago, i was very eager to do steroids, i had no idea about what i was doing and i have bought testosterone proponate, it wasnt in a vial, it was in needles ready to shoot, i didnt know what i was doing and had only few months lifting experience, i took it twice or 3 times in a week not sure how many mls, i just followed what the guy that sold me it told me. i stopped becuase a friend at the gym told me and educated about a PCT and that i shouldnt inject something with out a lable in me, as it could be anything.

long story short i stopped so i been on that for a week total,

do you think i made long term damage by doing that ? ^^

help will be much appreciated guys

Welcome to ology.

You should wait until at least 24 or 25. That's when your natural test typically starts to decline. It's hard to say on gains. Some keep most of it and some lose it all. The difference between the two are people who cycle and pct properly, and eat and train properly. To gain weight you must increae calories. Once you have gained the weight, you have to eat and train to maintain it.

Cancer is not a risk that I'm aware of. Estro sides and gyno are easily controlled by Aromatase inhibitor (AI).
Read the sticky "standard pct". That is a perfect set up of how to pct and I would follow it exactly.

When the time comes, a simple test e or c cycle is preferred for a first time user. I still use that basic cycle after years of use.

Forgot a couple things. When you use any AAS, it shuts down natural test production. That's why test is needed as the base of any cycle including orals. When people say there junk isn't working, it's because they are using an AAS without test, or the are in post cycle therapy (pct) or didn't post cycle therapy (pct). Eventually most all get back to normal but it could take months. While on test sex drive increases. You just need to make sure you have everything needed before starting, and use a proper post cycle therapy (pct) to maintain gains and get back to normal quickly after stopping use.

thanks for your reply bro

i will try to wait till im 24, i am aiming to jump on gear when ever i stall with gains in next year - 1.5 years and i want to look jacked by the time i graduate which is 2 years from now (physical therapy major).

people around me are on the steroids and are lifting big wieghts which is tempting me to roid even more, but i will be patient.


how about impotence ? having children in the future ? does steroid use mess that up ?

No. Impotence is temporarily caused by using AAS without test as a base. Sometimes it can happen in pct because your body is not producing test and that's why we pct to get it going quickly. You can get cialis or Viagra from our sponsor RUI just in case but shin this is usually temporary if it happens at all. I've never had this problem. I have had a decrease in sex drive during pct but it comes back quickly.

You should use hcg during all cycles. It will keep the testicles from being dormant during the cycle. As far as having kids, many people have kids while on AAS. If you were on for a year or two and no hcg it may make things more difficult but once recovered you would be ok but there is no reason to be on cycle for those lengths of time unless you are a pro BB. So no it won't make you impotent or sterile. If you abuse them, then you could run the risk.
