Hi guys

I am looking at running my first cycle. I must stress that I am looking for quality, lean muscle rather than sheer muscle mass. I understand that being my first cycle I stand to gain the greatest results and so want to get this right. I would like advice as to whether it is viable to run say ten to twelve weeks of straight equipoise and gain quality muscle?? Many refer to Equipoise as a good sustitute for Deca-Durabolin, is this actually the case or would I be better off running something else completely different? I know many would reccomend running straight test for their first cycle but then again I am not looking to get as big as possible, but rather to gain quiality of muscle and am slightly concerned about the side affects with test.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
