Min-Max Test only cycle?
Looking to do my first cycle...I was going to do a test/deca or test/eq cycle but have been advised on this board not to mix two compounds for my first cycle....this being said i can get my hands on test right now....how long would you run a test only cycle and would you run 500 per shot and one shot a week? Again this is my first cycle...would 8 weeks be sufficient to make it worth it?

dont know bf...would guess maybe 18-20..been training for a couple of years...was 272 and got down to 182...started to hit the weights hard and put on almost 20 lbs of mass.......
could I gain more naturally?....probably could....
this is why im not looking to go full blown cycle and just do a small test only to see what happens.....heck I might not do a cycle at all and just keep going on. Im about to start DC training in a couple of weeks with my workout buddy...I was thinking about running the cycle during the training...got my hands on clomid already and looking to add other compounds for pct.

you need to cut down somemore first, preferable 14-16%, and i wouldn't take anything yet, you can definitely gain more naturally, especially if you get your diet in check
post your diet and i'll help you with it

I can also get dbol , as a kicker
I "try" to stick with this diet
a.m
cup egg whites cup oates...sometimes I drop the oates and go with whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter
mid a.m
banana- fiber one bar
lunch
chicken,steak, fish and brown rice or steamed vegies
sometimes....turkey sandwich with wheat bread and fruit
mid after noon....apple or whey and water
pre workout supps
gym 5-6'ish
after workout -whey and banana (if dinner is not ready)
dinner
just about the same as lunch or I will eat the same as breakfast
other then that I have my days where I cheat. I drink water or green tea pretty much all day long.
Here is a current back pic.

i can't help without you posting macros, though here is a diet thread i wrote a while ago with two cutting diets i use, they are nutrient timed and everything so you can model your diets after them if you want
DIET HELP by Phate
here is the diet that i'm on right now, it's a good base to go off of, listed below are things to help you create your own diet off it
1) One thing that will help you drastically is called carb tapering, if you notice the bulk of my carbs are in the morning and after my workout, i don't eat hardly any close to when i go to sleep
2) Another thing is that eat meal is either protein/carb or protein/fat and the fats are good fats(EFA=Essential fatty acids) from flax oil or fish oil. Try not to eat fat with carbs as the fat will become, well, fat since your body is made to be energy efficient, by putting carbs, which are easier to break down for energy, in the same meal as fats your body stores the fat for later and uses the carbs for energy, not what you want.
3) try to eat every 2-3 hours, this is the amount of time it takes for your body to digest a meal and by giving it a constant stream of food you will ensure that your metabolism is kept high, also, calories are not the same, protein has the highest thermodynamic effect, which means that it takes more calories to digest protein than carbs or fat, this also increases your metabolism
4) You should try to get at least 50-60g of protein in every meal, this is about the max your body can take at one time
5) here are some tricks for making eating so often easier, i know it's hard, i go to school 8 hours a day and i'm not allowed to bring food into class so i have to work around that
a) Make a weeks worth of food on your day off, go buy a ton of chicken, lean turkey and very lean beef and grill it, then put it in ziplock bags and label with the amount of calories and protein per bag, YOU WILL NEED TO BUY A CHEAP SCALE FOR THIS, YOU CAN GET THEM AT GNC, MAKE SURE YOU GET ONE THAT WEIGHS IN GRAMS.
b) save grocery sacks or get a lunch box and put a full three meals or so in there, lots of chicken, jerky, tuna, those are gonna be the staples of your diet
6) Don't drink more than two protein shakes a day, there are liquid and don't have the thermic effect normal food does, normal food should make up 95% of your diet, though a shake after workout or in a pinch is perfectly fine
that should get you started, i'm sure you'll still have questions so just keep posting and i'll help you however i can, i'll be in austin though for the next couple days for a state competition, though i'll try to get on at the hotel if you post and answer when i can, here's the diet i'm on to model after
Meal 1 - 5 egg whites (cal 80, pro18), Oats 80g (cal295 carb51 pro12 fat5), 1scoop whey (cal112, carb2.5, pro23, fat1.5). sprinkle cinnamon. TOTALS - Cal 485, carbs 53 pro 50, Fat 6.5

that's a good idea, get it calipered if you can, and have them use as many pinch sites as possible for accurate results

I would go min. 10 weeks. 250mg twice a week.
Like other guys said, make sure your diet is in check.

What your salt intake on test or your BP will go up and you will really blow up.

for your first cycle, i would even consider only doing 250mg's of test split up into 2 shots per week (125mgsx2/wk). that's plenty of test.
