Since you started this thread and the other thread about "Emonster" I'm guessing you are pretty set on doing a PH cycle. I don't mean to bust your balls or be rude but I really think you should hold off a while until you can answer SOME of these questions for yourself (I can't fault anyone for asking questions, if you don't ask you don't know right?). This will give you lots of time to gain more weight naturally and learn safer ways to use PH's. Now here is my opinion only, and personal experience. There are loads of guys on here with more experience and knowledge than me and I'll be the first to admit it. For my first cycle I used Epistane. I've seen it suggested fairly frequently as a first cycle, people also suggest Helladrol which I am going to be using for my next cycle. I ran Epi at 20/30/30/40/40 (20mg a day the first week/30mg a day the second week/etc.) I ran CEL Cycle Assist and Fish Oil 2 weeks pre cycle, all cycle, all PCT (post cycle therapy). I also used Nolva at 20/20/10/10, nolva is a SERM (research it) NOT Novedex XT, two very different products. I had a very good cycle, kept about 12 lbs after all was said and done. The only side effects I experienced were fairly good headaches the first week or so due to a BP spike which cleared up, and a loss of libido. I made the mistake of not running anything to help boost my testosterone while on cycle, I suggest you do, (although I used DAA in pct, not sure where my logic was there lol ). I have since used Dermacrine for that and liked it a lot. Research Epistane, SERM's, PCT, on cycle test boosters, Nolva, and Clomid. Once you feel like your head is about to burst come back and ask some more specific questions. I'm sure there's plenty I missed but this should at least give you a decent start. Best of luck.
