1st cycle advice

**MBerry91** · 01-17-2012, 03:31 PM

Hey guys I am 20 years old, turning 21 in a couple months. I am 6'4-5 240lbs and 14.4% BF. I have been training since I was 16, consistently since I was 18. I know I am a bit young to start off with AAS, but here is my question. For my first cycle I am taking Test 400 and am doing 1 cc a week. This past Friday was my 3rd time pinning and I have only gained 2 pounds. Everybody I've talked to said I should start blowing up in about another week. What is your guys experience with it? Also I am going to start taking an AI my 4th week into the cycle at Arimidex .25mg probably ed, or eod..depending on opinions. My PCT is Clomid at 100mg for first 11 days, 50mg for last 10 days, 2 weeks after last pin. I'm debating on adding Nolva with it. I am not taking HCG but I can obtain it if I absolutely need it. TY guys for any advice

Well since you already started..maybe your diet is not up to par. Do you know how to count macros and micros? Whats your cal, carb and protein intake? Also the test 400 is most likely going to be all enanth and cyp, with maybe 65mg of prop. which is dumb bc they're both long acting esters..my guess is wait 1 or 2 more weeks and you should start seeing some results. You will know when you feel it.

BigGuy covered everything well, but I wanted to add that you may want to start taking an AI sooner than at the four week mark considering that there is a prop ester in there. Your body will let you know only after you already have more estrogen floating around than you want. .25mg is a pretty small dose, I think it's safe to say that taking that much every day will serve you well.

Well I try and eat about 5 times a day. No I don't know how to exactly count macros and micros, but I always have a hardy breakfast, lunch and dinner with snacks in between..I haven't really counted all those intakes though. I will try and look into that more thank you BigGuy. Ok so I will start taking the AI asap then at .25mg ed. Thanks BBrian. Hey guys, is my PCT good with just the clomid since it is only my first cycle?

I would stop EVERYTHING NOW, run a PCT, & get blood work done in 30 - 45 days. Meanwhile, u can do some research on the effects of AAS on the undeveloped Endocrine & HPTA.

I will do some research on it, sorry I just thought if I did everything pretty safe then my test levels wouldn't be shut down//but get BW done, and check for what? My test levels and cholesterol and all that?

U can do everything just perfect & totally "by the book" & u will still shut down, the only thing u can do 2 stop / avoid the shut down, is NOT use steroids . Tell the doc u want a "FULL panel". (try not 2 tell the doc u hav been using AAS, u don't want that on ur record. But u may need 2 tell him in order 2 get the tests u want) If there's anything outta wak, I'm sure he'll point it out 2 u.
