psroth, I dont have any problems with fina being a first cycle for many reasons. First, its fast acting and short lived. If sides occire, discontinuance reduces blood levels fast....as opposed to something like eq or deca. Also, sides at starting newbie doses(75mg/eod) are next to nill. There is no bloating, water retention or aromitization that needs to be countered with arimidex/liquidex etc.
However, that does not mean I think everyone should rush into fina use either. Its powerfull shit and I have the utmost respect for it. I simply think to many latch onto fina because its easy to get and cheap, which is the WRONG reason to use it for a first cycle. I think if a person shows they have done there general overall homework(ie months of reading) they can readily handle the product and will be fully prepared for its use. Unfortunatly when someone askes me what need to be taken with it, it shows me they have done no research and are not ready.
