looking into starting first cycle

**Kutis** · 03-08-2013, 09:44 PM

Gonna start off with 500mg of test-e for 12 weeks have AI on deck/pct... but I have a lot of questions. If anyone wouldn't mind answering some of these I would greatly appreciated.

- 500mg of test a week for a beginner optimal?
- Should i do it all in one go or do 250/250?
- endomorph here so if I over-eat i put on fat like it's my job... I want to squeeze out every last ounce of muscle gains as possible, but considering this is my first cycle... I have no idea how much weight i should be aiming to gain a week. I know we're all different etc etc etc but I was hoping some other endo could tell me based off his experiences what he shoots to gain week from week on cycle.
- Should I even be worrying about minimizing fat gain on a cycle? Is it just more effective to eat everything in site to maximize gains?

~ 500 mg per week is plenty.
~ 250 mg twice per week.

The reason I would say you're not quite ready is because of your diet related questions. I want to make sure you understand that if your diet is not fixed to suit your goals, you will not gain anything. Your results would be very disappointing. I would spend some time in the nutrition section and learn how to eat to grow. AAS merely amplifies your results, but only if you're eating properly.

Best of luck.

i turn 25 in a few weeks and to respond to austinite - my diet is in check, i count every gram - what i don't know is how much aas are going to 'amplify' how much food i should be eating if that even makes sense

What's your TDEE, caloric intake and macro breakdown?
