250 ml a week and seeing sides

[lightbulb]

I am only taking 250mg a week of test e and I wasnt sure if it was enough.
I have been on for 4 weeks now and am starting to see some oily skin and quick sudden break outs on my face.

I weigh 170 lbs and am 26 yrs old and have lifted for 4 years

If I am seeing side effects like acne off of only 250 does this prove that my test levels are good enough to see solid gains??

I have never had acne or even enough pimples to wash my face ever. Even in high school I didnt get any acne..

Maybe I have had low test levels this whole time.

Running a AI?

I'm hoping you mean 250mg.

U need to run an AI with ur cycle. Oily skin and a few zits are common side effects for some not all. Look up the info on the Steroids Profile. You should be just fine. 250mg test a week will give u solid gains especially if you are a newbie. More doesnt mean better.

So is it good or bad to see sides like acne?

Thanks

[t-dogg]

Normal

Thanks

lol, sorry, that was kinda funny. It's never good to have sides, but certainly an indication of legit gear.

Austinite, your avatar needs to be bigger so I can see it better lol.

Look at it like this, remember back when you were thirteen and you started to get hair, and zits and such? Taking aas is pretty much like going through puberty again. Your test eventually leveled out as you came out of puberty and your body was regulated. Now you are increasing that and seeing the same effects. So i guess its good in the sense that its legit gear, but bad bc who likes acne. I also noticed that I get alot darker and thicker hair growth on my shoulders when on cycle and its pretty much non existent when im off.

Nobody wants to see side effects. IMO it seems that is ur evidence the test is working. When new to using gear its psychological. U want to make sure its working or kicking in and seeing a few sides will only confirm ur doubts. Just make sure u shower at least twice a day and use a facial wash and acne body wash. It works. Cheers

DGK exactly! Well said

[lightbulb]

!!! Thanks everyone.

Will start washing my face now morning and night.

[DGK]

Not just your face your shouldersm and back too... pretty much you want to wash your entire body 2x a day and change your sheets every couple of days.

[AD]

so, op.. are you running an AI? someone asked and you havent answered...

[Bevsta123]

OP if your running 250mg/week are you still pinning twice a week? 2x125mg pins?

[Darkness]

You need to eat more. I noticed I get more sides when I eat less. Add more food. Cant hurt.

Use witch hazel (astringent) in the shower for your acne, helps clear it up. At least does for me. Going to start running Test -E in a couple weeks, hoping acne isn't that bad I'll see. Some sun always helps to. It sucks but good news is you do know it's legit than. PS what are you running for your AI? you should have some Lethro or Armidex on hand if you think you will get gyno. Better safe than sorry. Good luck.

[lightbulb]

I am not running a AI nor do I have one on hand.... I wasnt sure if it would affect my gains and I admittedly dont know the final verdict on AI. Necessary or not? I wasnt too worried as I have seen/heard many people taking just test 250 once a week and not take anything else since it is such a small dosage. I only pin once a week.

[MickeyKnox]

splitting that dose up will have positive effects on your sides. the more stable your bloods, the less sides likely to occur.

pick up an ai like stane (aromasin) through the AR-R site sponsor - you'll have it in three to four days. run it 12.5mg Every Day for 3 days - then 12.5 eod.
