Thread: First cycle at 21, Figuring things out.

Lean out first. Your first cycle you're gonna see very crazy gains. But get lean before you start - your body wants to stay in a state of homeostasis so if you start fat you'll look fat, you start lean you're gonna look amazing at the end of the cycle with all the muscle added on.

Yep! Definitely have that as a focus prior to starting. I figure I’ve got about a month of hard work before I start anyway. Was just hoping to get more of an opinion and understanding on PCT. Also wouldn’t mind hearing if it’s smartest to start with just Test E, or stack.

I tried the Tren Mast Test stack on my second cycle and I'll probably never use Mast again since I've lost ridiculous amount of hair whilst on that. I'll give it a shot in future again probably when I'm bald XD

Either way with Anavar/Mast or just Test only you should be pleased with gains.

for PCT I've always just used 1 cap of each Nolvadex (20mg) and Clomid (50mg) every day until the pack ran out (so about 3.5-4 weeks) and that always seems to work for me... but everyone's recovery is different.
Some don't even recover at all.
IMO you could try Med Tech's own PCT blend. I'm avoiding it mainly because of the Provion but other than that it seems very good for value to me.
Just to add. A few years ago at one of the hardcore gyms I visited. The owner recommend that you use the full stack of Clomid, HCG and Nolvadex if you plan on going off for a long time.
However if you could only take one He'd recommend the Clomid.

Great reply man, really appreciate that. I probably won't be cycling too often so it may be worth my considering the Clomid, HCG, Nolvadex mix (but I know everyone says that at the start). Mind if I ask why you're avoiding the Provion? I'm glad you brought up the balding factor in Mast, as it is hereditary in one side of my family. I think I've lucked my way out of that one, but if possible to skip the notorious ones for early onset I will. But I do know that it's just something you have to be prepared for in the Anabolics world.

Hey guys, so I've tried to mock up a cycle & pct that I THINK would be okay going off of the original plan to stick with just Test E for the first cycle (still haven't decided on Van's suggestion for Anavar). Please correct me if needed. I want to do this safely as possible. Also let me know if theres any other suggested PCT to include that's available on the UK store! Thinking I may steer clear of Provion as I'm reading it's one that exaggerates male pattern baldness? Cheers!

Weeks 1-12: Enanthate 300mg per shot (600mg Week), Monday & Friday
Weeks 15-18: Clomid 50/50/50/50mg per day
Weeks 15-18 Tamoxifen 40/40/20/20mg per day

is this your first cycle? if yes thats a lot of test so make sure you do bloodwork and check your estrogen. depends on the person, some have high estrogen on 300mg per week and some normal on 1gram per week. but do check it, because if estrogen gets too high you wont like this cycle. pct look good although you wont need to pct so much or long after this basic cycle. you should bounce back easily and then continue with some more serious AAS for better results

Few days late to the party.
Just to add on your shopping list. Get some Arimidex. As Godzilla said just incase you run into oestrogen related sides.
400-600mg is fine. If you can't get your hands on Adex or an AI of any sort then you will just need to slash your test dosage from 600mg to 300mg.
But yeah. Just trying to save you from those nasty bitch tits!

This is also why I'd recommend Mast with beginner stacks since it inhibits some of the conversion. I never needed an AI until September 2017 / my current cycle since I must have gotten very minor gyno from all the previous cycles I ran with no AI or something.

for sure after a month go test your total, free testosterone and estrogen. some guys can do 1gram and not have any conversion and some half ml and have plenty. in general on 2-300 per week most are fine without any sides, and going up to 600 is for sure possible just keep the sides at bay and this is best done with a quick bloodpanel and you can gauge how high your total and free test is going up with a chosen dosage. take the guesswork out of it
