Going to do my first Cycle, but have a few questions

**turbotoast** · 03-18-2011, 03:23 PM

Stats:

Height: 5'9"
Weight: 173
BF: 10% Approximate
Age: 26
Lifting Experience: 5 years (3 years off and on 2 years steady)

So I have decided that a real injectable cycle is in my future. I have been debating this for awhile now, and have decided that I want to do it. My main reason for cycling is breaking through a plateau I have been at for approximately 6 months, and also to get much closer to reaching my life body goal (190-195lbs @ 8%).

My cycle is planned as follows:

500mg Test E/week for 12 Weeks

I have Nolva on hand in case of gyno onset during cycle

PCT
Clomid
Day 1 - 300mg
Day 2-11 - 100mg/day
Day 12-21 - 50mg/day

I have 4 questions

1) I read the blood work article and it was very informative as to what each test means. However I am confused as to which one(s) I should get for this cycle & at what intervals to have them done

2) Is glute injection as easy as quad injection? I am scared of messing up a glute injection as I will have to self-inject.

3) One of the major things keeping me from doing a cycle has been fear of shutting down. Mostly because my sex life would suffer and GF would be furious that I was on a cycle. If there is a simple solution to keeping libido alive I'm all for it. I have read about people taking cialis, but I don't want to have to go finding that also if there is an easier solution.

4) I understand the concept of a bridge, but would it be beneficial/necessary on this cycle?

1) I think you should get a pre-cycle bloodwork done just to know where you're at. main ones to get are free & total test, sex-hormone binding globulin, estrogen, total T3 & T4, LH, renin activity. I highlighted the ones that are more important (if you're poor).

2) I don't mess with the glute injections. I stick to quad and delt injections.

3) While you're on a test-only cycle, you shouldn't experience any libido problems. Post cycle, you might have a problem but don't just go for drugs, see if you have a problem first.

4) What would you be bridging on this cycle? Going to a lower dose of test until your next cycle? That's called steroid abuse .

BTW, you're 22 and really shouldn't be using steroids . On top of that, you're 5'9 and 173lbs, you still got some natural grow room.

Thanks for the reply.

I misunderstood what bridging was. I reread an article and realize I don't need it. What makes you think I'm 22 I just turned 26 last month.

Eh, I think I'm just retarded. I could've sworn I read "22." Disregard that. But still you got room to gain naturally.

Yeah I'm still in the beginning stages of all of this. I already have my cycle and PCT planned, but I want to do a lot more reading before I actually start the cycle. Plus I think your right about natural growth room. I'm planing on giving it at least 6 months of a new approach to dieting and changing my workout routine to spur new growth before I even think about starting. I always like to have things planned well in advance and have as much knowledge about something as possible before I start. I really think I will only do one cycle (if any) considering how close I am to my life goal weight and BF.
