I am looking to to my first cycle and after almost a year of research, I am baffled as to why everyone of forums suggests test as a first cycle, especially the long esters. Why would someone new to steroids use AAS that are highly aromatizing and have a high conversion rate to DHT like test, and to add why would someone use the longer esters. Wouldn't you want to use a shorter ester so that you can stop use as soon as harsh side effects show up.
