Hi All,
Theres been quite a lot of first timers seeking advice on how to put together a proper first cycle. While this information is certainly not new, i thought id just put together a quick guide with all the info in one place (clearly i have too much time on my hands).
A couple pre-words:
AAS use is not a shortcut and should not be taken lightly. You should be of proper age (IMO lets say minimum 25), have several years of training under your belt and a *proper* diet to achieve your goals. Diet & exercise & good old fashioned hard work is the basis for success here and AAS are simply tools to help you achieve your goals, not the foundation!
For this cycle you should use test enth or cyp, these are basic long esthers and are popular and predictable. Im suggesting to stay away from prop or sustanon as it just complicates things a bit
An Aromatase Inhibitor (AI) must be at least on hand to prevent estrogen conversion & mitigate estrogen related sides. I recommend to use a light dose throughout the cycle. Arimidex (anastrozole) OR Aromasin (exemestane) can be used.
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is optional but recommended to keep the boys full during cycle and help ease recovery post-cycle
Post Cycle Therapy (post cycle therapy (pct)) is absolutely necessary and incredibly important if youre interested in keeping your gains and having your nuts work properly after your cycle.
Your first cycle:
- Week 1-12 test @ 500mg / week -- shot 250mg 2x per week to keep blood levels stable (Sun, Wed for example)
- Week 1-12 Arimidex @ .5mg EOD OR Aromasin @ 12.5mg ED
- Week 2-12 Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) @ 500iu / week -- shot 250iu (subq) 2x per week
You will then wait 2 full weeks (so weeks 13 & 14) after your last test shot for the levels of test to clear out of your system and return to non-superman levels. Then you will start your 4 week post cycle therapy (pct):
- Week 15-18 Clomid 50/50/50/50
- Week 15-18 Nolvadex 40/40/20/20
Some after-thoughts & tips:
- Avoid drinking alcohol on cycle
- Have **everything** on hand **before** you start your cycle, this includes your gear, post cycle therapy (pct), pins etc.
- After post cycle therapy (pct) you should wait ~18 weeks (time on = time off) before starting your next cycle, during this time dont stop eating and training!!
Thats about it, follow this simple protocol, work hard, use some common sense and you will be good to go. When in doubt *ask!*, theres a ton of great people on ology that will help set you straight. Heed the advise of the vets even if its not exactly the answer you want to hear!
Good luck!
