Questions for my first cycle

[WeztCoastGuy]

Hey guys,
I have a couple of questions that I need answers to on my first cycle. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

My background, in 46, 6'2" 205 have been working out seriously for the last 4 years, eat a super clean diet and am in generally great shape. I have been eating like a horse and lifting heavy but just cant seem to bulk up at all? So I've decided to do my first cycle.

I've obtained some test 400 and deca 300mg/ml and was told that I should take 1ml. test400 and 1ml. deca once a week for 12 weeks. I did my first inj. last Saturday in my right quad (1 1/2" 22guage), no pain that day but Sunday and today my inj. site is super sore, I'm actually limping around. So here's my questions

1- Does the doses sound right for my first cycle?
2 -Should I be taking something to combat the possibilities of gyno?
3 -How long before the pain eases from the inj. site?

Cheers. Weztcoastguy

PS I will post some before and after pictures to see if there's a difference

So you have already started both compounds? What is your dose on the two per week? Deca should be less than test. Also, run test two weeks longer than deca.
You need and AI such as arimidex. You need prami or caber or you may develop prolactin sides.
What about your post cycle therapy?
You should have started with test only and done test/ deca down the road.
Do yourself a big favor and read all the stickies at the top of this forum.
Get smaller gauge syringes. I like 1" x25ga, but opinions abound.

If you're "eating like a horse" and not putting on weight, steroids will do nothing to change that. In order to take advantage of your cycle, you will definitely need to increase your caloric intake. I'd suggest calculating your BMR and TDEE, and then eat 500 calories above your TDEE. You'll probably want to increase intake even more as your cycle goes on. You're going to want Arimidex or Aromasin for an AI and prami or caber to deal w/ prolactin. Also, you don't mention any PCT at all. If you're not on TRT, you will definitely need PCT.

Yes I have already started both compounds, My recommended dose is 1ml, Test400 & 1ml. Deca 300 in the same injection. Is it too late to start using test only and dropping the deca?

 

[El paja]

That mean you need to add more calories to your diet my bro also take some caber twice a week for the decca dick, yes you can mix both compound in the same jeringa bro

 

[smittiot]

Not too late to drop deca. Are you doing one injection per week? Most split it into two, so every 3.5 days. So if you were to run 500mg test per week you could inject 250 on Tuesday eves and 250 on Saturday mornings.
Learn how to go through a cycle with one compound and educate yourself while planning the next. Deca has some additional sides, but is a wonderful compound IMHO. I am glad I used it on my second cycle.

 

[WeztCoastGuy]

Thanks Smittion, I will try dropping the Deca and stick with the Test 400 for my first cycle and see how that goes, it was recommended from the person that supplied me the compounds that I take 1 ml. test per week, shall I split that into 2 separate injections of 1/2ml inj. twice a week?

 

[snowpatrol123]

Split it either every three days (e3d) or twice a week yes. I would suggest about .65mL each injection so your weekly test is around 500mg.

-Don't stick a 1.5inch pin all the way into your quad, if you're quite lean you're into solid muscle with only 3/4 - 1" insertion.
-Always leave some needle out incase it breaks off and you need to extract it.

I would immediately "obtain" your PCT supplies (preferably nolvadex and clomid, sufficient quantities to allow for 40/40/20/20mg and 50/25/25/25mg respectively (per week, so times 7 each).... (40*7+40*7 etc etc)

Also it would be strongly advisable to get some aromasin or arimidex immediately (aromatose inhibitors to deal with elevated estrogen levels)

 

[Megatron28]

Did you get blood work done before your cycle? You need to know what your baseline hormone levels are, liver, kidney, etc. Who knows, you might have suffered from low T.

Although great advice that most people should do, calculating your BMR and TDEE, but some do not fit those generalized rules. The OP may be one of those. If he is truly eating "like a horse" and not adding weight, he should see actually now much he is eating currently regardless of his BMR or TDEE. He could be already be 500+ over.

Long story short, figure up how much you're eating and since you're not gaining, add 500 more until you start gaining.

 

[WeztCoastGuy]

OK guys, I think that I have finally got things straightened out here, just looking for confirmation from the experienced.

I am going to continue on with the 1ml of test 400 weekly and drop the deca, I have acquired some Arimidex to take with this cycle and I will be taking 2- 2mg tablets daily until the end of my cycle. Then I am going to take 2- 20mg tablets of Nolvadex and 2- 20mg tablets of Clomid per day for my PCT.

Does this sound right?

did you just say your going to take 4mg adex daily???????
