Test E Cycle Question

[DR Acula]

I'm running a 12 week "test e-only" cycle in a few weeks for a first cycle. My only question is, which would be a better idea;

1) 500 mg/w for weeks 1-4, then 250 mg/ for weeks 5-12

2) 250 mg/w for weeks 1-8, then 500 mg for weeks 9-12

Or maybe even..

3) 250 mg/w for weeks 1-4, 500 mg for weeks 5-8, 250mg/w for weeks 9-12


In other words, I'm not sure if it's better for a beginner, or anyone, to "kickstart" then taper, or to build up throughout. I can see pros and cons in either scenario. So, essentially although i'd like to work with these specific doses, which pattern to include different dosages, would be best for a first cycle?

Any and all input is appreciated.

I'd say run 300-400mg throughout. Its going to take 3 weeks to really kick in regardless of what dose you use. If you are impatient, use dbol weeks 1-4. Also 300 or 400 mg throughout will give much more stable blood levels. Good Luck.

My first was with Test E @ 500mgs/wk; wks 1-12...worked well for me. Honestly, I don't see need to ramp up or down when using dosages as little as 500mgs or less. Just take 250mgs e3d and you'll be fine. You'll love it. Best of luck.

400-500mgs every 6 days. That has always been my dose with test cyp and E.

500mg is NOT a little dose.

IF you are going to do 500mg EW you should shoot twice a week (Mon & Thurs) as to keep blood levels stable.

Just my opinion.

i've decided on running test e @ 500 mgs/w for 8-10 weeks.

whats your pct look like?

 

[DR Acula]

i'll be taking clomid 2 weeks after last inj.

is 8 weeks too short? if so, i'll be doing 10.

You really shouldn't be running anything to be completely honest and up front with you. I bet if you trained harder and ate bigger and better you could easily add an additional 15-20 lbs. That being said, if you still wish to do a cycle and ruin your body here is a safer way to do it:

Run it for 10 weeks. You REALLY should do a PCT that is like the following:

-Sustain Alpha ED
-Clomid 50mg ED - IF you can handle the sides of being a whiny little bitch
-Unleahed
-Post Cycle
-HCG Weeks 3-10 250iu's 2X a week


Start PCT 14 days after last injection. Have A-dex on hand just in case.

DO NOT START CYCLE UNTIL YOU HAVE PROPER PCT TOOLS.

Do not see why you would need two shots a week with cyp or E. With sustanon yes, prop or Suspension. But I have always gotten great results with 400-500mgs every 6 days. I started this under the advice of one of the best BB trainers in the business so maybe he is wrong but I doubt it.

No, you're not "wrong" I would think that shooting once a week your blood levels would be VERY unstable.

Twice a week, and things are more stable AND your blood levels aren't peaking or droping as much.

ALL of the (whom I consider) intelligent members on this board would tend to agree that twice a week is better.

Maybe you are right, maybe I will try this. I have just had very good results the other way that is all I am saying.

Use whatever works best for YOU.

Use whatever works best for YOU.

If you are shooting once a week your levels won't be stable. They will continue to rise the entire time either way.

I agree, but if he wants to do it that way then, it is his choice. I wouldn't do it that way but that's just me.

i have clomid available for PCT, and with a cycle like this, (with no prior steroid use): 250 mg/w for 10 wks. (a rather low dose cycle from what i've researched.) how might i best use the clomid? i've read tons of things, but none of them are specific enough to this cycle, so i thought i'd ask here and maybe get some experienced advice. Is one week long enough? At what dosage? Thanks in advance for any help.

Bro I would really think about this. You are young and I bet your mind is already made up about this. You are no where near your potential. Not to flame, but at your stats are average. Have you really been busting ass in the kitchen and in the gym?? I really doubt it. This is the best time in your life to really pack on the pounds NATURALLY. It is too hard for most to do, so they take the easy way out. How fast do you think your gains will come after you come off cycle, and start to train naturally again? If I was you, and I'm not, I would spend a few more years in the kitchen and in the squat rack. Whatever you decide to do Chocolate Thunder is giving out good advice here. I would listen to him. Clomid only PCT is so 1990's too bro. There are way better options.
