Nah, I have a buddy who compete's and that was something recommended.
So, instead of going 'Ya, ok..you're more experienced than me' I decided I want to do my own research and find something that best suits my wants/needs/goals.
Good we need more new guys to be like you. Keep up the research and ask the questions you need answered. This place is filled with knowledge.
Everyone here has and will recommend a test only cycle. So that leaves you with Prop, Cypionate, Enanthate. 12 weeks minimum...14 looks to be the sweet spot these days for the longer estered C and E because of the slower release of the hormone into the body. Only issue with using prop is that you need to pin every other day vs. every three days (twice/week) so that's why most new users go with E or C for less pinning...for some its not an issue.
EDIT: there are many other reasons some choose prop over E or C besides frequency of pinning. Test prop, Phenylprop, (medium length ester that lands pretty square in between the long ester Cypionate and the short ester Prop.) would in theory yeild more lean mass gains and less water rentention then the longer esters.
I'd encourage you to familiarize yourself with the different Tests out there: http://www.steroidology.com/category/profiles/

Hahaha...Well, I know what it's like being new on a big forum, I was new once on BB.com and everyday you see the 'How do I loose fat faster' (I realize lose is spelled wrong, but those threads are daily)
I wanted to read up as much as i could before asking this question because if running a few cycles would leave me doing testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for the rest of my life, I would really like to weigh my options.
Why can't we all just be blessed with good genetics
Damn small arms!

The main reason to run test only for your first cycle is so that you understand how your body reacts to it, as it will be your base for all future cycles. If you stack for your first cycle and develop unbearable side effects, there's no telling what compound is the culprit.
It's like sampling 3 or 4 exotic foods. If you get sick, there's no telling which one caused your illness. One at a time, and introduce secondary compounds in future cycles.

No longer Cycles
Scary info in this thread, but its the truth. You can have person running 2 orals with test and tren for his 1st cycle with crappy post cycle therapy (pct) and he'll recover just fine. On the other side you could have someone who just uses test e with an Aromatase inhibitor (AI), Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), proper post cycle therapy (pct), and could end up on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for life.

Wow, great analogy!
If/When I decide to run my first cycle, I will definitely be running test only!
Thanks again.
Ya, this is true...Everybody reacts differently.
Some people can drink a cup of coffee and bounce of the walls, others can drink a pot and feel 'normal'
Going back to what Austinite said, It would be better for me (or anyone) to run test only for 1st cycle to see how my body reacts.
Just a question about this, how come everyone says that people start with wanting to do a cycle or two then end up doing it for life? Is there a reason for it or do these people tend to have addictive personalities already?
I mean, theoretically isnt it possible to just do 2-3 cycles and be done, with just maintaining at the gym after that?
Also, is it better to start closer to 25 or wait til you are in your 30s before cycling?

It's merely a desire to grow further after coming off and realizing that gains are not as easily attainable naturally. (not that it's easy with AAS, don't get me wrong)
Closer to 30 is safer than closer to 25.
So it is really because they want to grow more and find that because they did roids their growth isnt all that great anymore? (correct me if I am wrong).
So if it is more of a curiosity than a desire to look huuge n shit I should be ok with only thinking of doing a couple cycles right?

Everyone is different man. I'm not a psychologist, but everything I ever wanted 20 years ago changed 15 years ago, then again 10 years ago, and once more 5 years ago. You don't even know yourself if you're going to love your new look and quit, or if you're going say "Fuck, that guy is bigger than me..." and get back on.
Hmm that is true, I never thought of that. But I suppose it is going to be an issue for me either way I attempt it really.
If I do AAS or not, I would still want to be bigger :-(

There is always a risk of screwing up your natural test production. It's going to effect everyone differently and I would say most people will or can recover fine, if you cycle the right way and follow with a pct but you never know until you cycle.

It's horrible! I can't find jeans that fit and my suits have to be custom tailored...Shirts that aren't "stretchy" make me look fat...don't do it breaux, it's a terrible life!!! All kidding aside, start low and slowly work your way up. Be smart, do your research and remember safety and health are paramount.

Ya, that's pretty much what i'm doing now.
Still learning about 'HCG' and different PCT's, that's mostly what i'm confused about.
I'm sure like everyone, i'm mostly worried about growing a pair of breasts or having my nuts shrink into nothing haha.
There's no way for us to be like, "Oh he's 20 his body is fucked for life..." Honestly you could be fine, but then again you might not. You never know until you finish pct, get your bloods done, and then wait and see. It's all a waiting game just make sure your playing the game the right way and safe way and more than likely you'll be fine. I'm not making any promises to anyone that if you do the most perfect cycle that your body will be fine cause it might not be. Some guys get lucky and do an oral only cycle and thankfully all their levels come back to normal but that's a game of Russian roullete that no one should be willing to play.
