Going to do my first Cycle, but have a few questions

[turbotoast]

Stats:

Height: 5'9"
Weight: 173
BF: 10% Approximate
Age: 26
Lifting Experience: 5 years (3 years off and on 2 years steady)

So I have decided that a real injectable cycle is in my future. I have been debating this for awhile now, and have decided that I want to do it. My main reason for cycling is breaking through a plateau I have been at for approximately 6 months, and also to get much closer to reaching my life body goal (190-195lbs @ 8%).

My cycle is planned as follows:

500mg Test E/week for 12 Weeks

I have Nolva on hand in case of gyno onset during cycle

PCT
Clomid
Day 1 - 300mg
Day 2-11 - 100mg/day
Day 12-21 - 50mg/day

I have 4 questions

1) I read the blood work article and it was very informative as to what each test means. However I am confused as to which one(s) I should get for this cycle & at what intervals to have them done

2) Is glute injection as easy as quad injection? I am scared of messing up a glute injection as I will have to self-inject.

3) One of the major things keeping me from doing a cycle has been fear of shutting down. Mostly because my sex life would suffer and GF would be furious that I was on a cycle. If there is a simple solution to keeping libido alive I'm all for it. I have read about people taking cialis, but I don't want to have to go finding that also if there is an easier solution.

4) I understand the concept of a bridge, but would it be beneficial/necessary on this cycle?

1) I think you should get a pre-cycle bloodwork done just to know where you're at. main ones to get are free & total test, sex-hormone binding globulin, estrogen, total T3 & T4, LH, renin activity. I highlighted the ones that are more important (if you're poor).

2) I don't mess with the glute injections. I stick to quad and delt injections.

3) While you're on a test-only cycle, you shouldn't experience any libido problems. Post cycle, you might have a problem but don't just go for drugs, see if you have a problem first.

4) What would you be bridging on this cycle? Going to a lower dose of test until your next cycle? That's called steroid abuse.

BTW, you're 22 and really shouldn't be using steroids. On top of that, you're 5'9 and 173lbs, you still got some natural grow room.

Thanks for the reply.

I misunderstood what bridging was. I reread an article and realize I don't need it. What makes you think I'm 22 I just turned 26 last month.

Eh, I think I'm just retarded. I could've sworn I read "22." Disregard that. But still you got room to gain naturally.

test e injections every day????

test e injections every day????

No I would be doing two 250mg injections per week

Yeah I'm still in the beginning stages of all of this. I already have my cycle and PCT planned, but I want to do a lot more reading before I actually start the cycle. Plus I think your right about natural growth room. I'm planing on giving it at least 6 months of a new approach to dieting and changing my workout routine to spur new growth before I even think about starting. I always like to have things planned well in advance and have as much knowledge about something as possible before I start. I really think I will only do one cycle (if any) considering how close I am to my life goal weight and BF.
