Serious Advice Needed Before Starting 1st Cycle

31
180lbs
6'2"
Test level around 400 a year ago.
Goal with cycle: add muscle mass/strength
Cycle: 10-12 week test(e) 250mg
PCT: hcg 10 days, then clomid and novaldex

For the last couple of months I have seriously been researching steroids and have decided to do a cycle of test(e). Every now and then I hear about guys who are off a cycle and libido is gone, they feel like shit, etc.

I do feel I am a pretty healthy guy, but would love to put on some muscle mass and strength BUT not at the risk of having my body all screwed up at the end of the cycle.

Should I expect to be screwed up? Are most of the guys on here doing test(e) because there levels are really low anyway?

A proper PCT should keep you from crashing if that is what you are reffering to.
Looks like you have that covered so you should be fine.
My first cycle was 500, but if 250 is what you are comfortable w/ then stick w/ that.

One more thing, do you have at least one AI on hand?

no, no AI... Also, I don't want to have to do test the rest of my life after this cycle... goal is to walk away with at least %50 of the gains...

possible?

test 500 for 10 wks along wit a AI.

maybe I didn't do my research thorough enough. What is an "AI"? estrogen blocker? gyno?

 

[big greg 82]

AI is used during your cycle to prevent bloat and whatnot. use either armidex or aromsain or aifm if you want. nolva is for gyno.

You need to have an AI on hand.
AI=aromatose inhibitor
If you don't know what that is then you need to do a little more research.
There should be no need for you to do test the rest of your life because of one cycle. That really doesn't make any sense.
Gains kept will be determined by a proper PCT, diet and training when finished.
Make sure to keep training intense and cals high when off.
You want to mantain the newly added mass.

thanks for the advice... but as stressed in my original post, I could care less about "bloat" (unless this is something other that looks)... My concern is long-term rammifications from one cycle...

bloat=water retention=High bp.
There sholdn't be any long term effects from one cycle that is done correctly.
Don't worry so much.
Steroids deserve respect but they aren't evil.

as long as you have your PCT in line there will be no long term rammifications other than gyno if your prone to it...Nolva will help but nothing will take it away 100%

dont stress too much about bloat bro i would highly doubt you will bloat up on 250 mgs a week of test, just make sure you eat, train, drink plenty of water and sleep enough and have a good PCT and you will do fine

Great cycle, and PCT, add some AIFM for an anti-e and you will be ready.
