test is not more effective when shot into the scrotum. Although there has been several threads that may contradict this.

All kidding aside,
1. research
2. diet/exercise
3. have all your gear before hand
4. homebrew is the way to go

Great thread

1)Drink lots of water
2)Be prepared to see a doc, just because you followed all precautions doesn't mean you wont get an abscess or infection
3)If you aren't prepared to tell a doctor what you're doing, you're not mature enough to do it
4)get blood work done before and after a cycle so you can monitor your recovery
5)Relax when injecting
6)Heating pads and ibuprofen work great for really sore injection areas.
7)have every single thing you could possibly need before you start your cycle.

EDIT: by the way, I gave this thread 5 stars

Man, I am glad to see this one resurface!

One I would like to stress, is the need for a heating pad. Don't feel like a sissy! A heating pad can get you out of your chair and back in the gym much faster than sitting there bitching about a bad prop shot in the quad!

this is a great thread....

Find a good docter first......Eventially something will go wrong, (blood pressure, heart paliptations, abcess, something) If your doc already knows....you will not be afraid in confiding in him/her when something goes wrong

You do not know anyone on the internet....proceed with caution

nothing is 100% true (see deca only cycles as example)

Great cycles of today will be looked at as foolish in the future

I started researching this stuff almost 2 years ago, and this is one of the best, and most helpful threads, I've seen. Great info guys!

I'll tell ya what...I've had my gear for almost a week now and am still not ready to start it. Every time I get on here, I learn something new. This is definitely one of the most educational threads I've ever read.

1) Not to buy from websites 2) Always research as much as you can before starting a cycle 3) always have your gear in hand.
