I'm looking to buy gear for my first cycle. Right now, I'm just looking to get the gear and maybe HCG since I know I can get the ancillaries later.

I'm looking at doing test e at 500 mg/week and contemplating running HCG 500IU a week

My question is threefold-

1. Do you recommend HCG for just test?

2. If I get 2 vials of 5000iu reconstituted does that mean I don't have to do the whole thing with measuring out water-just pin it?

3. Is there an issue with shelf life? I may wait a while before I actually start a cycle.
