A few test e questions

[Icemansoldier]

Using for a cut atm (lose fat/maintain muscle), test e 250mg per week

-How long can i run it for, i initially planned to run for 10/12 weeks but im pretty sure ill need to cut longer than that?

-Will my weight most likely stay the same? been on 4 weeks now and weight is near enough the same maybe 1lb lower, while waist has decreased.

-PCT will be clomid, do i keep calories the same in pct or bump them up abit?

Thanks.

Age?
height?
weight?
body fat?

If you need to cut for more than 12 weeks, you should just come off. You should be able to get pretty cut after a 12 week cycle.

PCT protocols are very individual, but I always did well keeping my cals slightly above maintenance in PCT.

diet mainly dictates a cut or bulk cycle, like d7 said if you cant reach a goal in a 12 week cut perhaps your bf% is too high to begin with and you should drop the cycle, lower bf through diet and cardio and use gear for the last stubborn 1 or 2% bf

Thanks for the advice. Yeah i think ive inaccuarately started a few weeks too early. But sure theres no point coming off now becasue then i gotta do pct, then go back on and then another pct. So i think its best i continue isnt it?

I know about diet and cardio dw. High protein, moderate carbs, and healthy fats. Cardio 3/4 times a week and increase the amount/intensity as my cut progresses, tinker my diet etc.

22, 6ft, 13.5st (187lbs), bf% around 20%

Bad idea to use gear...not only age but ht/wt/bf wise those stats are terrible

[Icemansoldier]

Yeah i started to early ill admit that, but i know what im doing re how to run cycle right and proper pct etc, some people dont even do pct.

So how run could i run test e for @250mg 14 weeks or what?

You could run it forever its up to you, but the longer you run it the greater the risks are especially for you. Read this article by Hawaii Pride look at the risks your taking before you consider pinning again. I hope you make the right decision.

HP's post:

Am I old enough?

Yes if you're over 24, No if you're under. You run the risks of premature closing of growth plates which means you won't get any taller and your shoulders won't get wider, etc. if you use them too young. Your endocrine system is also at a vital stage in your life, which should incidentally provide you with plenty of natural testosterone anyway!

Of course there are other considerations such as training experience of the individual. For example, it would be unwise for a 25 year old who has been training only a few months to want to use steroids. Their training and diet knowledge are likely to be limited (these should be 100% in check to make 'proper use' of a steroid cycle). Not only that, but there will be massive potential for natural gains, without the need to even think about steroids!

Furthermore, cycling before the age of 24-25 will put you at a high risk of temporary to permanent damage to your HPTA, andropause, TRT, erectile dysfunction, and low libido. Your hormones should not be tampered with while still in the stage of maturation. Use your already naturally high test levels to your advantage.

You should have a significant amount of training under your belt (4-5 years at least) before any Steroids are considered. This will not only allow you to toy around with a few diet and training methods (possibly eliminating the reason for cycling in the first place) but will also you adequate time to let your CNS, bones/joints/tendons/muscles to mature so that you will have the proper foundation for when you begin your cycle. Cycling on a frame that is delicate and inexperienced runs many risks including temporary to permanent injury to any of the above mentioned. Bodybuilding isn't a sprint, and there is no rush to jump on steroids and get big. Transforming the body takes time, patience, dedication and discipline. There are no short cuts!

Diet is probably the most important and vital tool is growing and gaining muscle/shedding fat. With a strong diet as your backbone, the steroids will not live up to their hype. No matter what your doses and duration of steroids you are taking, it just won't be worth the time and money spent without the sufficient calories and macros behind it. The 2 literally go hand in hand. A lack of diet will provide a lack of results, even with anabolic support. Having this experience will make cycling in the future easier and much more enjoyable, believe me.

I know i am new here, but wouldn't you be better off running some propionate for cutting? IMO, prop works alot better for dieting and cutting than Test-E. You will just have to take a couple shots a week due to the short 1/2 life. Just my opinion
