Hope you help me too in my first cycle...
EXCELLENT TNT!
Hey bro, Im planning on doing 600mg test in my first cycle, doing 300mg two times a week. Do u think I should take more shots to avoid this up and down that the test could give me?

It depends on the type of test. If you're doing enanthate or cypionate (the only types that are legally manufactured in the U.S.), which come in 200 mg. per ml, I'd recommend injecting no more than 200 mg. at a time - not only because you don't want to peak out too much, but because you don't want to inject more than 1 ml in a single site at one time.
That said, if this is your first cycle, 600 mg. may be a bit much - you also have to consider your height and weight. (A 200 mg. injection will have less effect on someone who is, say, 6'2" and 200 lbs. than it will on someone who is 5'8" and 150 lbs. You may want to do some more reading before setting the 600 mg. per week dose.
There's also no reason that you can't do your shots three times a week (200 x 3) instead of twice (300 x 2) - again, it will help avoid the highs and lows and give you a more consistent dosing. For those who do twice-a-week dosing (which is fairly typical), some do it strictly every three or four days, while others do it on specific days, say, Monday and Thursday (so that there's three days between some shots and four days between some) - that's more a matter of preference than anything else.
I've only done enanthate and cyp, so I can't speak about sust and prop. (But then, I have a hang-up about buying from Mexican or Europpean sources, since I think that U.S. and Canadian-made drugs are more reliable, made to more exact FDA-type standards, etc.) FWIW, I started with 200 mg. injections and never had a peak-and-valley effect, nor any water retention, gyno, or other side effects. These days, I usually inject 100 mg. at a shot (pun intended), since I only do quad shots on myself (if it's a delt or glute shot, I have someone else do them), although I might do 200 mg. at a time (split between quads if I'm self-injecting). But then, I'm tall and bulked, so it may affect me less than smaller guys. You won't know until you've tried it if there are any side effects, but my advice is that if you have any doubt, start with smaller and more frequent injections.
