Want to run a VERY mild first cycle...

[SynysterGates]

A little background on me. I turn 22 years old in January. I'm 5'8 at 178 when fully hydrated, carb depleted and dry I get down to about 172. I've been lifting since I was 14, but I was never consistent or serious about it until about 2 years ago. Considering I started at 130 lbs, I think I've done a decent job this far, but I'm wanting a little more. I know I can do it naturally, but I would like to try a mild cycle. I've asked a few people that I know with experience and I have been told test and equipoise are a good stack for a beginner cycle. I was told that I won't need too much or too high of a dose though. 10 week cycle, 250mg eq 500mg test per week. For PCT it would be HCG the last few weeks (or throughout the cycle in lower doses) and Nolva/Clomid near the end.

Is there anything else you guys would recommend as far as this beginning cycle goes? I know you get the questions all the time, but each person is a little different, so I figured I would ask. Thanks in advance for any help.

Too young to cycle. You could end up on TRT for the rest of your life. No point in a mild cycle, your body will never react to the test like it does the first time. Wait a few years, train like f*ck. You're only 178lbs at 5"8, you've got a hell of a lot more natural muscle to put on. Begginners cycles should be kept simple, leave out the eq if you are to do a cycle. and for PCT stick to Nolva/Clomid/Arimidex as an AI. If I were you I'd wait a few years though

I always thought the general consensus was 21+ to run?

25+, good news is you are almost there and have a good base to build from. Stick around and read for the next few years. There is plenty to learn here.

I agree with Nooomoto, 25+. Before that, your body is still making a ton of test. Don't mess it up.
