No needles

[Michaelshock]

I do not like injections. Can you do a non-injection cycle and if yes how? I am looking to get some good gains but do not want the needles at first, I may do it later. Any suggestions? I am very very new to this. I have always worked out but never been around gear. I really like the "paper" option. Thanks.

Mike.

you could but your cycle would be shit......sticking yourself dosnt hurt...

[longhorn814]

if youre not ready to stick yourself, youre not ready for gear. Be a man, its just a little needle

It is easy to get over your fear of needles. Once you get used to it, it is kinda fun.

What are your stats? age weight height diet training, GOALS what are you looking for in doing AAS

Needles did somebody say needles? They really don't hurt, don't sweat it.

Well Ok then. I have just started training again. I am not in the shape I was a few years ago. At this point I am trying to drop weight and get abck in shape. maybe I should work out for a few(several) more months and then take the step. I wasn't really looking for a "get rich quick" scheme. On a fluke i googled steriods a few months age and was amazed at what I saw. I actually used to work in a gym in college and was able to get into great shape. Some the clients were suplementing their training. While I was intrigued at the time, I never partook.

I am between 6'0" and 6'1" 220 lbs, 32 yrs old. I am getting some prety good strength and size gains with creatine but I also appear to be gaining fat. Bloat. Is AAS right for me? Frankly I do not know what I am doing. I am not near being in competition shape so maybe this is way premature. I do have the determination to do what is necessary. And my Cardio and Weight training is consistant. If there is an edge, I'd take it. I just don't like the idea of injections, but if that is what is necessary so be it. Also if I am way off base with this, I'll deal with that too. Thanks for your input.

First, you are NOT off base. You took the right steps and are here, so hopefully we can help and you can learn everything you need to learn to see if AAS if for you or not.

First thing I would suggest is to READ the top 6-7 threads at the top of this forum. They are called "stickies" they contain a ton of important information to help keep your stay here safe and to protect all of us, so please take some time to read them

I would recomend getting your diet and training in line first then when yoiu feel you are back to at least the level you were before and preferable well under 20% bodyfat, then you can put together a cycle and we can help make sure you have it right.
Most importantly is to be careful about talking about or asking about any sources here. that is only allowed in PM (private messeges) that you can only do after 25 posts. Source checks ( asking in PM wether a source you have is legit) is only allowed after 45 days of membership and a minimum of 100 quality posts.

AAS will help you achieve your goals ONLY if your diet and training are such for the goals you have....bulking or cutting etc....

Hope this helps

You did absolutely NOTHING wrong bro. Just taking the preemptive strike as new members tend to post things before reading the rules and researching.....

Look at the "newbie cycles", Diet forum, training forums, and you will be overwhelmed with info.

First cycle is always recomended to do a single ester test ONLY. keep reading and we will be here to help answer your questions!!

[SMAN12b]

Oral only cycles are not advisable. Especially for beginners. I used to hate needles, especially when doctors where givin them to me
But once I had control over injecting, I started to really love it. I actually can't wait to inject now...so don't sell yourself short. It is an easy fear to get over and the benifits of injecting well out weigh the little prick stick!!!

[Surrender]

I really believe you can make the first injection easy. High up on the quad dead center, just shove the needle in. You won't feel a thing. don't worry about asparating the first time. this will just make you more nervous. Just shove it in and slowly push. Done and you'll say that was easy

[tbjake34]

The only option for all oral would be to go with andriol it is really the only oral that is some what ok. But u have to take like 8 pills a day or something like that to get results and the stuff isnt cheap, not worth it IMO. But thats the only really ok oral cycle from what ive heard.

Please tell me WHY you would tell or suggest to ANYONE NOT to aspirate just because it is the first time?
Please don't give advice like that

SMAN did you just say little prick stick!!!!

That sound's NASTY!!!!

don't worry about asparating the first time. this will just make you more nervous.

DON'T LISTEN TO THIS DUMBASS. THIS IS BAD ADVISE. Although aspirating might make you more nervous it can SAVE YOUR LIFE. If you inject into a vein serious shit can happen.

i used to freakout when going to the doctor and getting an injection. was nervous as hell when i was going to do my first injection on my own, now i bite my nails with great thrills waiting till the day comes for my next injection. dude, the needle is so small you wont even feel a thing, i couldnt believe i had the entire 1/12 inch needle all the way in and didnt even know it. you'll be fine bro. but before you do it reserch (injection,soreness,etc) so you can learn how to properly do your injections. alot of newbies go throug a week long of pain after injecting...

Nice to see some one who want's to do thing's the right way and will take the time to make sure they do so!!

well michael, i actually advise people to avoid orals entirely due to their liver-damaging alkylation. injects don't have the same issue, and with proper routine checkups on bp, cholesterol and bloodwork along with a proper diet, they are practically harmless. all in all, injects are relatively safe, orals are innevitably damaging.

i know injecting yourself may seem uneasy, but after the first time, i can almost guarantee you'll laugh at yourself about how nervous you were and how easy it turned out to be. what i usually say to people is if you can't handle injections, you can't handle the workouts necessary to get what you need out of the gear anyway. let go of your fears, as they will hold you back in the gym as well.

i even inject my b-12 now as if it's nothing. in a way, i actually like injecting myself, as it's kind of reafirming to me that i know my body well enough to be able to do what is normally supposed to be done by a health care professional. by learning the right areas to inject and the proper procedures, you learn more about your body as well.
