[Westside Connection]

Hey guys, I am new here but I have been reading a lot of useful information over the past few weeks. There is just an enormous amount of data and opinions here. Being a Newbie it is hard to figure out what exactly would apply to me as I am not a body builder. I’m going to give you a little background and if you feel like answering my couple questions I would greatly appreciate it.

First cycle M/27/5'11"/190lbs/18% BF - I run 5 miles 3 times a week and work out hard Brazilian Jiu-jitsu 4 times a week. I lift low weight/high rep 2-3 times weekly.

I want to run a long term cycle of Test Cyp. I’m not looking for weight gain just lean muscle. I’m thinking 250mg every week for indefinite period of time. I’m going to be competing in Jiu-jitsu a lot next year and I’m looking to get that extra edge.

The catch is I already know that I am prone to gyno as I got some naturally through puberty and my hair doesn’t seem to be falling out but I have a deep receding hairline through my mom and dads side. Don't want it to get worse.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this relatively small dosage cycle?

Also what would be a good combo/application to battle the potential hairloss/gyno? Im having a little trouble understanding which ones work togther and which ones don't.

Any other newbie advice would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Again!

If your running that much a day and have that high a bodyfat, then your diet is off. Correct whats stopping you from making gains first before jumping into drugs.

Im down from 22% about 3 months ago...I feel like im making pretty good progess. Am I wrong?

Thats good progress for sure! Goodjob and keep it up!

But your wrong for looking for steroids in your condition though.
You should be able to get down to atleast 14% BF and weigh 200lbs naturally.

I would carry on working on your diet it sounds like your doing well if your down from 22%. If you decide to run the Test for a long time then you may end up having to run it forever. Many have supressed there HPTA for long legths of time and it never comes back to full function leaving them with V low test levels. They end up on TRT forever. I would also bear in mind that you suffer from gyno which would require you run other drugs along with the test, again you would be running these long term which isn't good. AIs have been shown to have detrimental affects on cholestrol levels although this is a subject of debate at the moment i would not want to run them long term.

Thanks for the input. Lets speak hypotheticlly. Lets assume that I am at 14% and my cycle is only going to last 16 weeks.

I think you would be better by increasing the dose and shotening the length by a month.

Use propecia for your hair....should be effective with just test.

Thanks again for all the input. Anyone else care to chime in. Would appreciate it.

agreed. 16weeks is quite long for a first cycle-shorten it & up the doseage.. Its all going to be about trial & error.For the first, I think most people are in agreement that test alone or a simple cycle would be best to see how YOUR body responds. keep up the good work on the wieght loss & dont get on anything until you have that down a bit more..you will get better results that way. stay away from the compounds that will hurt your hairline if you are worried about that...Nioxin shampoo helps from what i hear. good luck
