questions about first dose

**selvanus** · 11-15-2009, 06:56 PM

I'm a first time user and I just got an order in for testosterone cypionate . for my first dose I took 250mg, which I'll be taking twice weekly. At the injection site (my upper thigh) I have a small bump and my leg is pretty sore for about 6 inches up and down. Is this normal and if not, is there anything I can do to avoid it. Also, when my order came in, it was in a glass vial (sealed with a spot in the top to place the needle. It was a clear, oily liquid. Does that sound right?

if it's a virgin muscle it may be normal, and yes test can look like that.
what exactly is the cycle and pct?

Im not doing much of a cycle. just 500 mgs of test cyp per week with 1 mg arimadex daily. Continuing arimidex after cycle along with clomid and hgh. Id tell you the dosages but im new to this and dont have the numbers i wrote down in front of me. Any suggestions?

That's a lot of A-Dex! Use it only if you need it for sides (Bloating, Gyno, etc..) Even so, I would only use .25ed or maybe .50eod at most. The injection site problems should go away soon. if not, you need to tell us about it.
Good luck, i hope you become a beast. The people here are damn good! Use them.

ok Ill cut back on the dex. For a first timer, is 500 mgs of test cyp a week enough? what kind of gains could I expect from that? I read the injection posts but what advice could everyone give me on the injections to make it less painful and more effective?

Results vary with each individual. Nothing carved in stone.

I would keep the injections to the glutes.

If you can tell us about your pct, that would help.

I would dump the adex all together, and wait to see how you do without it.

You can use some nolva, as it can be ran along cycle @ a low dose.

It is an effective, safe serm .

Have you considered running hcg with your cycle?

The more we know, all though trivial as it would seem, it helps us collectively assist you better.

Good post, Titanium! I will also run HCG during my cycle @ maybe 250iu. every 4 days. Test @ 500mg./wk. sounds good for a first cycle. See what it does for you. You could go higher if you are not satisfied with the results. Personally, i have gone as high as 1000mg./wk. before I felt any sides. but much better to start low and learn your body.

I read an article on estrogen that Merc, or Swifto posted at one time.

Estrogen is not our enemy as some lead us to believe.

It's all a balancing act of sorts.

Have to know your body, and how it reacts to aas.
