First cycle question.

[NYY88]

First post altogether, as a matter of fact. I'm 25, 5'10'' 183 11%bf, have been working out for 4 years and feel it's time to try breaking the plateau. I have researched and researched and I think I'm about ready to run my first cycle. My question is: if one must run Test while running Deca to avoid sides, but one can run Test by itself, why bother with Deca at all? What's the advantage? Also, should I forgo Deca for EQ? Lots of what I've read suggests so.

Thanks.

Welcome to the board bro...
Its always best to run one compound on the first cycle. This way you can see how your body reacts, and know its effects.. No need to stack.. Save it for later cycles... Good luck, BE SAFE!!!

Welcome to AR...its your first cycle...so yes it is recommended that you use one compound (test) to see how your body responds....there is no law against running deca with the test...But hey you're young there is no hurry.....500mg a week of test E for 10 weeks would be good...followed by proper pct of course.

yep exactly what the guys above said, esp for first cycle, run test only @500mg/week to see how your body reacts, hell im on my third cycle and im gonna still run the 500mg of test cause its a simple cycle,

and it shows awesome gains, no need to change it. just make sure your days of shooting are always the same, and keep a clean diet and you will love the end result. let us know how it turns out..

Thanks to everyone for the advice, it seems that the Test E@500mgs a week is the best way to go, Nolva for PCT. I'm kind of glad I waited all these years to start.
