    Post Newbie and Tren A

    Hi, this is going to be my first cycle of steroids ever. I have 2 vials of Tren A which I'm told should last me around 6 weeks. I weigh 180lbs I'm 5'10'' not sure on body fat. I am in good physical shape ( played sports, eat healthy, and lift a bit ). I guess my questions are....

    1) Is tren a good choice for a starting cycle?
    2) What should i take with it, any forms of test boosters, or what is recommended... during, end, and post cycle


    Ive just read so many different things and the people i know who have used what i have tell me different things as far as estrogen blockers test boosting ect. I have also had people say its safe to take alone and dont need anything...

    -Thanks You
    -Elius

    Welcome, and I'm glad you asked before starting. You need to save that tren till maybe your third cycle.
    age?

    Wow...

    Bad idea bro.

    Tren is not for inexperienced users.

    Test only is generally a first time cycle.

    Secondly, you dont seem ready for a cycle. Judging from when you say you ''lift a bit'' and from you being only 180lbs.

    I think its fair to say you dont have a great diet?

    1) Tren is for experienced steroid users, side effects are the harshest

    2) You can't run tren without test

    3) You need to do research

    4) Test only cycle is the only cycle on here recommended for first time users.

    Like everyone said, and I'll repeat, stay away from Tren .....

    A lot of guys like to use test first. Test is your basic base for everything.

    I reccomend t-bol as a first compound to try some times also. People make good gains with it, retain most of them, it's oral so no injecting. mild on your system and as few sides as any drug out there.

    For me, i know if I take test, people can tell. Common sides, water retention (if its eth) and acne over my shoulders and back. I don't mind now, I actually kinda like the acne cause I know the shits working.

    This doesnt tell us much.

    Lay out a days diet in this format.


    EXAMPLE:

    Meal 1
    10egg whites
    80Gs of Oats

    Meal 2
    6oz of Chicken breast
    40oz of brn rice
    ETC...

    PLEASE INCLUDE HOW MUCH THE FOOD WEIGHS! And Macros if you have them...

    lol relax bro,

    I told the other kid to work on his diet first, but to look at mild compounds like t-bol when he's ready.

    What's with everyone anyway? The kids can look into things while they are working out and dieting. I plan my cycles for months. I plan my diets the same and normally change them 10 times.

    I just suggest t-bol to people if they are starting, over test because it has far less sides.

    let's try to keep with the flow here man...

    im sure your aware what it takes to get big..

    80% diet, 15% training, 5% gear

    get the first two down before you jump into the third...

    dont u think your advice would be better if you focus more on the first two, esp with n00bs?

    i don't really measure my diet that closely, i dont know how many oz everything is I just try and consume as much as i can through out the day 5 meals a day. I would say

    Meal 1: 8:00AM
    5 egg whites, Whole gain wheat toast w/ peanutbutter and a banana

    Meal 2 11:00AM
    Chicken breast, Apple, low fat cheese/yogurt, protein shake

    ...etc

    ... i eat 3 hours apart basically not complex food, i understand the importance of eating well, i eat a lot and i cant seem to put on the muscle mass i would like, Ive cut down on cardio hoping it would allow for more muscle building, but i havent had any luck, thats why i am where i am

    if you take the time to measure macros (pro/fat/cal/carb) and figure your bmr/tdee, we can overcome that....

    the choice is yours.. you have to take the time to do it..

    here's some info for you
    this is a link to a great nutritional video, it'll give you a great idea as to what your diet should be lookin like
    So you wanna learn how to Diet?

    then, do some math
    Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )



    once you have that number, you can multiply it by an activity number to figure out your daily caloric expenditure, be honest here as this is the very cornerstone of your diet, if you are between two of the below activity levels then just multiply by a number in between them

    To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:


    If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
    If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
    If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
    If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
    If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9

    No. You are where you are because you have a poor diet bro. Its that simple.

    Getting big is

    80% Diet
    15% Training
    5% Gear

    And right now, your diet is in desperate need of help. You arent putting on that muscle mass you want because you arent eating correctly to gain LMM.

    you might just want to get him a bra.

    When that progesterone kicks in, should be pretty sweet.

    Honestly, I grow and get stronger from test than tren. Tren has a ton of good write ups, and it does kick in faster cause of the short ester, but 8 weeks of test + a cutting compound has worked better for me than tren ever has.

    you might want to direct your friend to the boards here, or research some tren PCT for him....cause it can get ugly.

    your best bet for PCT is the Ar store or another research chem site.

    So many people look over the PCT and will regret it. Best way to grow tits and loose your gains.
