It is a simple rule to use test for a first cycle. You can make great gains on test alone if you eat right, sleep right, and train right. Your first cycle is a VERY important one in my opinion. I wish I could re do my first one. Tren is very strong and should be used after you know how your body is going to react to AAS. Never do it alone as stated. Use test as a base for everything. Your "buddy" should have told you all of this. Some one is going to get on here and say you have no busuness even using juice at all with your limited knowledge. You do need to learn before you go jabbing stuff in your body. This is not a joke, but rather the only body you have...take care of it!! Do some more reading. I spent months reading and still go on here just to learn several times a week. Listen to the advice. There are some people on here with amazing knowledge on the use of AAS. Learn all you can before you make that leap
