First and foremost, before you begin your cycle, please have a full blood panel done to determine your hormone values and to give you a baseline for you to gauge any changes before, during, and post cycle. A full Blood Panel that includes a sensitive Male Estrogen Assay is recommended. (Thanks Kel)
Hey guys/gals,
With all the recent new members and beginner cycle questions, I wanted to put together a short list of most commonly accepted cycles for beginners who have decided to introduce themselves to AAS. These cycle were made up with the newbie in mind and kept simple and uncomplicated. There are several ways to develop cycle with a variety of compounds, SERMS, AI's and hCG, however, I feel you will agree that these include the most common. This doesn't necessarily have to be a sticky, we can simply keep it bumped at the top if you like.
"So many reasons a test only cycle should come first.
1. It is the bodies predominant naturally occurring hormone that will establish muscle mass.
2. Whether u start with it first cycle or not, it will become the base for 90% of all future cycles , and if u think that doesn't apply cause u only wanna do one cycle...i got news for ya- after that one cycle you WILL wanna do more!
3. You need to know the effects of test on your body throughout a cycle - that way when when you do stack other compounds with it you can get a true gauge or feeling for what they provide for you in terms of gains, sides, etc. Almost all other feelings you establish on different steroids will be based on their interaction and synergy with test. This will be your "baseline". Later you might explore how 2 or 3 compounds (maybe more) synergistically interact with one another. But you need an accurate baseline - test will provide that as it is probably the only compound that stacks well with virtually every steroid.
4. IT WORKS...WELL!
5. Straightforward, relatively easy pct
6. Relatively easy to control sides
Oh and did i mention it works..WELL!" (Thank you JimmyInkdUp)
