i'm trying to be as open-minded as i can here. but there's a reason why it is suggested that a first time user runs a short cycle of anything. the reason being is that you have no idea how you are going to react to the compound in question. the ST time anyone of us picked up a weight we started with a low weight, no? i did not bench press 200lbs. my first time out. i should have explained this before. can you run an oral at 5 weeks? yes, of course. but do you have any idea of how your body will react. unless you Miss Cleo and can tell the future you can not. when someone asks for advise here, most choose to be responsible and suggest you start slow and work towards an increase in anything you put in your body (especially PS/PH) to see how you will react. what if something going horribly wrong? now the chances of that are slim for sure, but i am not a doctor and can not tell you that i know exactly what is going to happen after you ingest something that's not supposed to be in your body naturally. no one here needs to take offense to this post. it is not directed at anyone specifically. when i ST came here not knowing anything, there were some responsible members that, at times, "flamed me", and i now thank them, because i learned from them. now, most of them are gone, and it's other's responsibility to hopefully, give good sound advise in their absence. let me finalize my post by saying, i am not a "know-it-all" by any means, i can still learn and hope to, by a new member or one that has been around for a while.
