I would hardly call my osta cycle a first. Im a little embarrassed of it to be honest which is partly why i left it out lol. Recovery has gone good after just being patient and giving it time post pct and I feel like thats what sparked my interest in doing a real cycle was seeing that my body handles recovery better then I expected. Im not against putting it all on hold and honestly since seeing injections in a different light Im no longer afraid of maybe planning a better cycle (test e). Ive read many mixed posts about being 21 vs 25 and with how much Ive picked up in the last couple years I just felt confident I could handle one.
