Biggest Cycle Mistake You Ever Made? (Be Honest)

[RS Rudy]

Alright bros, let's hear some real stories...

Everyone in this game has made at least one mistake at some point. No exceptions.

I'm talking about stuff like:

• running way too much thinking "more = better"
• skipping AI and paying for it
• skipping PCT like a genius
• trusting some random "gym coach"
• stacking things without really knowing why

No judgment here - just real experience.

What's the biggest mistake YOU made on cycle?
And what did it teach you?

These are the kind of lessons new guys actually need to hear.

I've been quite sensible and conservative on my blasts - only done up to 500mg test 3 times and then used dbol/deca on two of those 3. However my mistake was my last blast and deciding to "bulk" when I was a fat as heck 240lbs up to 280lbs. It motivated me to get in the gym but when doing 8 reps of squats felt like climbing a mountain, I knew it wasn't doing me too good. Also the fact that I have been cutting since October because of being fat before the blast isn't ideal. So what I've learned is to be lean before bulking/blasting.

trusting a gym coach for sure, fucking idiot didnt know what the fuck he was talking about

Fucking hell. My first cycle. Embarrassing but here goes.
I wanted to start TRT and or cycle because I noticed a lot of symptoms of low testosterone, hormonal dysregulation, and other things. Likely from my kratom dependence at the time, and likely other lifestyle factors. I figured that since I’ve already been training for a couple years heavily and that I was around the age of 30 that it made me more qualified. Which is dumb, by the way.
I could’ve gotten away with biting the bullet and removing the kratom and adjusting my lifestyle, but I went the addict way and decided to take the easy way out. Or in rather. This came about in a pretty unorthodox way. I didn’t go to a clinic or a doctor to pursue HRT or TRT - I saw an ad on Facebook of all fucking places for a vendor called Andro Labs Pro. Maybe some of y’all remember them. They were a super sketchy Turkish source. Lots of high concentration blends. No third-party testing, just trust me bro.
I decided that my first cycle would be 300 mg of test per week. The solution that I ordered was testosterone cypionate concentrated at about 300+ milligrams per milliliter. It was harsh stuff, especially for a new user with all virgin muscle. I’d never given myself an intramuscular injection before. My first couple pins were hellacious. Imagine me completely naked, sweating and shaking due to fear of needles, lol. I injected quads with a horse needle and could barely walk for days afterward. I eventually figured it out.
I had a girlfriend that looked like Beyoncé whenever she played Foxy Cleopatra in Austin Powers at the time. Out of the kindness of her heart she started pinning my ass cheeks for me. she would joke about it, putting on the latex gloves and smacking them as she asked me if I’m ready for her to go all up in my ass. miss her.
And one of the worst and most embarrassing parts – zero blood work before during or after.
Eventually I decided against running a standard PCT and have been basically doing light blasts and cruises while running hCG and HMG occasionally to maintain fertility and testicular size.
Obviously I’m here now, several years later and I’ve had plenty of time to work out all of the retarded kinks. I’m currently on a cruise of 150 mg test, 300 mg mast, and 25 mg tren per week. Feeling dope, bloods are stable.
I’ve made plenty of stupid mistakes, and plenty of uncommon ones. If anyone is curious, feel free to ask.

Ill say mine so pretty funny not really I started my cycle at around 25 percent body fat around 220 I was going through my Frist divorce been on trt for a long while but decided to make the jump at 500 test and 500 hundred deca got it from a guy at the gym the deca picked it up at a car dealership LMAO save to say It was just straight oil so on top of fake deca I would go out to the bar everysingle weekend it seemed so I drank like 4 to 5 long islands if not more I would go to the gym and after wards reward my self with getting trashed and no sleeping until 3 am on fake deca the test was real I ended the cycle eating fuck all everything bad and still the same drinking habits from 220 to 227 got strong as hell face looked like a water balloon from the test didnt check my blood pressure for the whole 10 weeks thankfully smarter had blood work every 6 months so the next blood work suprisely didn't look like a train wreck but you live and learn

 

[Chemicalreaction]

Oh ya I forgot to add I also had eq the from the dealership 300'mg add for the 10 week monstrosity cycle

 

[dcdogz]

Pinning my quads

 

[Hablooblah]

Probably pretty common but 1st cycle was so scared of gyno I took 2m.g. of arimidex a week for 300 test 150 deca...got bloodwork at week 6 and e2 was at 2 pg/ml....felt and looked like shit...since then I try to keep e2 around 60...never want crashed estrogen again

 

[Howitza1]

For sure mine was my first heavy test/tren cycle. I ran it 8 weeks and felt like dog shit. It was because my blood pressure was infinity/ infinity. Ran too much of each. Did 0 cardio. Didnt have BP ancillaries....just a complete shitshow.

Yeah bulk on top of high bf just turns into a grind real quick

 

[Bando]

How about taking a hefty blast dose of multiple compounds when I’m too injured to even train and won’t be able to for months? Is that bad? Done that a couple times. I call it a mental health phase.

No bloodwork + random source + quad pins... you checked all the boxes

Respect for sharing that though

Ya I learned two things from that I really enjoy long islands ice teas and I have trust issues with people that work at car dealerships

 

[bigrond]

Not my 1st cycle but a bad 1 maybe it was 2nd or 3rd. ran out of test 6 weeks in (started with a partial vial of sus)and only had deca available did just deca for 8 weeks. Emotional roller coaster and hair loss followed. Did not do any cycles for a couple years after that. Never did any blood work back then either.
