    Comparing Oral Vs Injection

    Hey I was trying to compare Oral steroids and injections and i was wondering which steroid takes more of a toll on your body and which has more side effects ....I've taken A50 by itself and i know you're really not supposed to do that so i'm looking into taking an injectable as long as the side effects aren't worse or anything because i had very little side affects from A50 (some anger and some acne)

    thanks for your time

    before you get any qualified info your going to wanna give the members your stats...this mean
    Age
    Weight
    Bf%
    Experience
    and any other information that may become vital in assisting you.

    Right now im going to tell you they are going to want to know how much a50, for how long, and did you pct after it.

    As a general rule a starter cycle should be a run of 12 weeks of Test E @ 500mg/wk. Oral steroids tend to be more taxing on your body (liver etc) and youll be hard pressed to find any steroid more harsh than a50. Sides are similar to gains in that they typically are dose dependant. But youre not going to go wrong with a 12 wk run of test and a good pct.

    I did A50 for about 5 or 6 weeks and did Nolv 20 mg a day for 6 weeks as a PCT
    I gained about 20 lbs on that and kept about 15 of it

    The reason i preferred oral vs injection is because it seemed more convenient and from what ive heard injections can be painful and a hassle if you have to do it a few times a day...also heard they are more expensive and being a college student im short on cash lol

    If what you say is true and you gained 20lbs on anadrol and maintained 15 lbs....then im shocked to no end. Im no AAS veteran by any stretch of the word but injections were never painful for me (ive only used test as an injectable, which is what you would be using too). The only AAS you would be injecting mutiple times a day would be test susp or something similiar (no ester)

    With a long ester test like enth you are looking at an injection once every 4 days (e4d) which I look forward to, personally, they really motivate me for some reason. Forget the a50.

    U said your experience is 1 year? Is that one years exp. in weight lifting? Or 1 year of messing around with a50?

    wow taking a50 when youre 20!! youre a brave soul......i dont think ill ever touch that stuff unless im VERY desperate for gains....and inj are better than orals because 1.) you get better gains and keep them better than orals 2.) dont take a toll on the liver and kidneys like SOME orals do 3.) you only have to pin every 3.5 days (except test prop or test suspension) like MMArmour said, it also motivates me and gets me a high when injection day arrives its a good motivator

    im 6ft tall.....thanks for the help...yeah i did some reading on test susp and it said it was painful and you do it like 3 times a day or something so i was like **** thats a lot ...but yeah once every 4 days sounds a lot easier and safer ...i know A50 was probably not the smartest thing but i needed something and it was available from someone i knew and i didn't want to **** up injections since its a little more complicated then popping in a pill but ill have to do some reading up on test which one do you suggest?

    Testosterone Enanthate or Testosterone Cypionate . each will give the same result.

    I would suggest sticking to Estered versions of any AAS until you've done a few cycles, get the concept and are more confortable injecting yourself on a daily basis multiple times.

    Test E or C...whichever is available and cheaper. No difference

    thanks again....now for a PCT should i stick with Nolv at 20mg and should i start when im done with the test or like a week before? also how much do i need to get a hold of to last the 8 or 12 weeks since i saw how much a 10cc bottle dosed at 250mg is but i dont know how long that lasts

    Nolva is fine for a PCT of a Test only Cycle. Take in a 60/40/20 schedule though starting about 2 weeks after the last injection. An AI could also be helpful during the PCT

    The average dose of Test E/C for beginners is 500mgs/wkly. This would be 2ml @ 250mg/ml a week. 1 - 10ml vial will only last 5 weeks at this rate

    In the future make your own thread don't hijack someone else's. You are too young at 18 imo just spend a few more years training naturally and research here.

    would it be weird to do a 10 week cycle? since 2 10 ml bottles will last me exactly that long

    Not wierd, I would think that would be the minimum amount of weeks to do a proper cycle though. 12wk being average for Test E/C and 14+ being considered the longer

    You should always get more than you need, and make sure you have everything including pct meds. Do a search on how to inject, there are a few threads on it, and few cool vids on youtube.

    thats not true at all.. tons of short esters out there, tren a, winstrol , npp, etc.

    but the rest is pretty true. definitely an uneducated move to go with anadrol but its too late now

    Are you nuts? Your a child. Nobody on this board is going to give you advice about AAS. Not to mention you sem to already have a little bit of an attitude. You need to do extensive studying on nutrition and diet and come back in ten years

    I agree. Injection day is a motivator. I now look forward to it and it does not hurt, its just phsychologicaly intimidating at first because the pins are so big. but after you do it a couple of times you realize it doesnt hurt. I use 23g 1 1/2in, but my bf is a little high. At only 11%, you could probably get away with only one inch, exept for the glutes

    15! You would have to be the dumbest person ever if you went through with a cycle... Quit being stupid! You aren't brave enough to do this after all the advice you have gotten! This will end badly!!! The rest of your life will be much much worse because of this 1 decision!!!! Liftime depression, body deformation, destroyed ligaments. Are you serious!!!

    Its really mind baffling to see the number of replies i was given and not one person sited their facts. Steroids are a miracle drug and i have never heard of anyone dying of steroid use (yes people have died from steroid ABUSE ) i am aware that with taking them a number of dangers occur and i have weighed the pros and cons and decided i want and will use the substance i am just curious to what dosage i should take. Fun Fact Arnold Schwarzenegger started taking steroids when he was 15-16 years old. And he is 65. Arnold took steroids for a long time, and was even born with a heart deformity (bicuspid aortic valve) but is still alive and healthy.

    I know. Unbelievable isn't it. Some might call it bravery when it's actually adolescent stupidity. If they were the least little bit educated they'd realize what your risking is the future of you balls, dick, sex life for ever. Most of these knuckleheads won't even be training 6 months from now. They will be disappointing chics left right and center and being laughed out of bed for many, many years to come though...

    For all you 140-150 pound, 15 year olds out there, your not risking a broken leg, or even ripped off arm, IT'S YOUR BALLS YOUR MESSING WITH BOYS!! It's definitely better to be skinny and have trouble getting puzzy than it is to be huge and unable to fvck it once you have it!! Think about that!!

    Can't make it any clearer.

    I'm still laughing at his comment that steroids are a "miracle drug".

    Yes they are! They cure cancer and Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Polio, Small Pox, Ebola virus....and all sorts of horrible things. We the medical community have just decided it pays more to keep people sick.

    Where do I even begin with this kid!?!?

    Haha and again the only thing you people criticise me on is my age. And me stating fact and wanting to take a drug each and everyone of you are considering or taking isnt ignorance. at least thats not what i think to be ignorance. I think people assuming that because of my age i think stupid irrational things is ignorance.

    If you weren't ignorant you'd know that taking AAS at 15 is almost a 100% chance of fvcking yourself up sexually for the rest of your life. What a thing to risk at 15. There's only one word for it....

    BTW, I'm 47 and my endocrine system is pretty well finished developing...

    Wow just read into the thread. This is ridiculous. No one here is trying to disrespect you kid, it's for your own good. You're going to end up doing permanent damage to yourself because you're too lazy to things the hard way (diet and training dedication). Aas is no shortcut and it won't do what you think it will. You need to grow up. Even more importantly, I can't believe there is a piece of shit big enough to get a kid steroids .

    Take into consideration what people told you here. In a few years you'll realize it's for your own good.

    Absolutely! Quote away.
