First Cycle Advice.

[AnabolicCamel]

I am planning on doing my first cycle soon after gaining the proper knowledge. I have been working out for 3-4 years on and off and have been really dialed in the past 2 years with diet and staying consistent in the routine of going to the gym and eating. I now feel ready to take it to the next level. I am 23 6'1 165lbs around 15% bf I'd say decently lean currently. when i started working out i was a 145lb walking stick. My goal is to hit 190-210lb lean. I was thinking of doing 300mg-500mg of test E for my first cycle with maybe some added oral Enclomiphene. I just have a few questions about pinning etc. So how often would I pin? 100mg Mon-Friday for 500mg, or Mon, wends, Friday for 300mg? what syringe would be best for this? I was planning on doing a intramuscular injection into the glute area. I have seen that you need two different types of needles one for drawing the test and one for injecting the test what are the recommended sizes for both? I am also a little confused on how to dose properly with reading the syringe from the research I've done it has said depending on the test's concentration. For Ex if the concentration is 1mg/ml = 1ml or a 100 units, 10mg/ml = 0.1ml or 10 units etc. how long would I run this cycle for and is there any pct i would need to undergo afterwards? Would I need to have an AI on hand for just a test cycle? I appreciate any all help in advance thank you!

With 500 of test only, estrogen levels might get too high; 250 test + 200 Primo or Mast would be more manageable. For a first cycle, I wouldn't exceed half a gram, with injections as frequent as possible to keep levels stable, even daily, though that's difficult for a beginner. To avoid scar tissue, small needles sufficient to reach the muscle are recommended. If the vial says 250mg/ml, it means that 1 ml of oil contains 250mg of product. Usually, they are 10 ml vials, so if you have to do 250 mg per week, it is 0.33 ml three times a week. For a beginner, a cycle should last a maximum of 8-10 weeks, taking into account that with esters like enanthate, it takes another 2 weeks before the body is completely clear. After 2-3 weeks after the last injection, PCT is usually started. And 3 weeks before starting PCT many use HCG for bring the balls back to their original size.

thank you for the information, is Enanthate best for first time cycle? and what would you recommend for PCT?

Don't use enclomphine on cycle, it doesn't really serve a purpose on cycle. The enclomphine is your PCT, The SERM (enclomphine) is the main component of pct

Being your first cycle id just use test 300 and have a AI on hand. A low dose of primo or mast (or EQ) isint a terrible idea either, but primo and mast but are hard to source lately, and it's the first cycle. The simpler the better.

If you do go test only, don't come out the gate with 500, go 3, after about 5-6 weeks on 300mg, testosterone should be at peak levels and you will probably have figured out your AI dose by then (if you need it). At that point you should have seen some progress and can think about staying the course or bumping it up.

thank you, which AI would you recommend to keep on hand? how often would you pin and the dosage per injection for 300mg a week?

Exemestane or Anastrozole.

I would do 100mg on Monday Wednesday and Friday if you don't mind the shots. At bare minimum I'd do 150 2x week. The higher the frequency the more stable the blood levels and the lower the side effects for some people. Lots of ppl pin small daily shots with a slin pin. But I also understand it's a lot for someone on their first cycle to have to jab themselves every single day. For most people, 2 to 3 times a week works fine

A lot of us prefer Exemestane because it is friendlier on lipids.

The enanthate is perfect at 100mg 3 times a week. I understand that the first cycle there is always the unknown to how the body react, however, many always preferred to add an aas with anti estrogenic proprieties rather than an aromatase inhibitor. The classic pct is 5000 ui of hcg, 1000 eod before starting PCT, after that 50 clomid+20 nolva for 2 weeks, 25 clomid+10 nolva for another 2 weeks. That's what they usually do..
