quick question on dosage

[booma1218]

So my question is i'm starting my first cycle tomorrow of test 400 and the question I have is some people say to start with 0.5/ml twice a week and some say to do 1/ml twice a week...So being my first cycle ever what do you guys think is a better option to go with the 0.5 or 1 ml???Thanks

First cycle, the lower dose is definitely better. 400mg/wk is plenty. What are your stats bro?

6'1 195lbs 13% BF 34 years old...I just seem to run into people who say start with this amount and then my other buddy who been doing cycles for a long time now tell me to start off with 1ml of the test 400 and 1 ml of deca twice a week for 12 weeks..I decided after doing some research on here I was going to run just the test 400 for my first go around and think i'll go with the 0.5 ml twice a week..Should I halfway into the cycle move up to 1 ml twice a week??

Stick to the same dose throughout. 800mg/wk is way too much.

Next time round, maybe you should look for test in 200mg/ml or 250mg/ml. It would be easier to measure out to the suitable dose. May even be less painful to pin.


Run your test-only cycle with ai and hcg on cycle, nolva and clomid for pct.

Yep. 400 will be good for your first cycle. And hold off on that deca. You can use that next time around if you think it might be necessary. Can't go wrong w/a test only cycle right now.

Good Luck.

I agree with these guys. 800mg / week is too much for a first cycle. Test has a moderate number of negative side effects, so starting at a dose like 400mg / week will allow you to see how your body responds to the drug and see if you are sensitive to the various side effects. While gyno and water retention are easily dealt with with a good AI, other side effects like acne and hair loss are much trickier to treat, and 800mg / week is far more likely to trigger these side effects than 400mg / week.

Also, for a first cycle 400mg / week is going to give you excellent gains. Taking double WILL NOT double your gains, but it will almost certainly increase the negative side effects substantially. Don't listen to your friend. The guys here have a lot more experience and do their best to help people new to the world of steroids.

Good luck

400-500mgs for a first cycle is the normal. Dont run more then that. You will have great results from it.

Thanks for the quick responses..Now all I need to do is man up and do the first shot..To be honest the only reason I have not started already was the fact is the whole injection thing..Either way I will be starting tonight

Love the Bro Science in this statement.... Agree with the other Vets 400 a week is fine for a first time no need for Deca. Have your AI and PCT in hand before starting.

So test 400 is 400mg of test in 1ml of solution - damn that's concentrated! Might be a lilttle sore the next day.

The first one is usually the only difficult one. When you are done, you will probably wonder, "that was it?"

Keep it clean (read about wiping the vial tops, etc.) and remember to aspirate. Don't freak if you get a drip of oil or some blood when you pull the pin out. It isn't out of the ordinary.

[TOkidd]

Have you done your first pin yet?

Really, the injection is the least intimidating part of the whole AAS experience. When you think of all the other things that can go wrong, it makes an injection seem positively benign. No but really, the more you focus on it, the more difficult it will be. Don't think, just do.
