Newbie Question

I am about to run my first cycle.
I've read this forum and the other articles on this site. Extremely helpful.
I currently take creatine, I have read a few comments about taking creatine PCT. Does it make sense to take creatine during my cycle, or after?
Also, I take a ephedrine supp before workouts. Is it a bad idea to take this while on a cycle? Would it help at all during the cycle?

Thanks

i take creatine month on , month off, all year around, cycle or no cycle... as for the Ephedrine, i cant help you there, cause i dont like the effect it gives me.

You can take creatine during cycle and off cycle. Once your blood levels are saturated they're saturated, nothing will change cycle based. Also with ephedrine I have no idea as for I've never used it.

Ok I'll Ask

Whats your first cycle look like?

[jfloran]

500mg Test E/week
400mg Deca/week

I also have some sdrol/hdrol, so I'll run that for the first 4 weeks.

I already know that it is recommended to run Test only. I've read a lot and will go with this, if I feel any negative sides I will discontinue the Deca.
On this site, the suggested noviceII had something very similiar, but 200mg deca (I may go 200mg, but I've read on the forum that a min was 400).

[Soar]

With deca and test less is more, you'll have the same end results with a simple 500mg/week cycle of just test as you would with your proposed cycle. You get into an entire different ballpark once you start introducing a 19nor, much harder to tell I the sides are from the deca or the test if you haven't experienced the sides of just one. :P

Should also research proper use of an AI, hcg and pct.

[jfloran]

I've taken the sdrol/hdrol once before (about 4 1/2 weeks), and want to kick off my cycle with this. I had no neg sides. I understand your point about the sides from trying more than one (test/deca). But I am unclear what you mean by having the same end results from stacking. Because this is my first cycle? I have a proper AI and PCT. I'll look into the hcg.
Thanks for the help!

Test ONLY first cycle bro. There are several reasons for that. Sides, pinning locations, dialing in AI, results..ect.

I think what Sear is trying to say is that your end results (mucsle gain and retention) will be similar with Test ONLY @ 500mg/wk first cycle. After youve experienced a first cycle, PCT, AI, hCG, and all the ups and downs, then you can consider adding a 19 nor. BUT, i would do a few cycles of Test, then maybe add an oral before i would include a Deca or Tren. Take your time and do it right. Its not a race, its a marathon.

Good luck.

Agree with Soar and Mickey.

Test would be a great first cycle. Maybe save the deca for a follow up cycle this winter. Just remember....................

with deca................ you get deca dick GF will be
