What is considered a beginner cycle? First year cycling?

[LeunabDM]

What would be considered a beginner cycle? I don't plan on hopping on anything just yet but are there books out there that I can read to become more informed on what the cycling process is like? I have so many questions like: how often do you inject, how much would a beginner cycle cost, what compounds would be best for someone to "test the waters".

My plan at the moment is to master my nutrition and consistency with training for 1-2 years before I decide to begin something. I just want to really know what I'd be in for.

The easy answer is first cycle of 350-500 mg test per week but if u just stick around and participate all of those questions will be answered in no time. Especially if you have a yr to wait.

PM me for a list h-as.pharma@tutamail.com

Would the Aromasin/Adex be precautionary measures for gyno? What are they for?

 

[LeunabDM]

Yeah, I'll have to hang around here and pick stuff up as I go along.

 

[Stunter]

Yes, and mostly control estrogen side, I myself don’t have to worry about gyno but I take a very small amount of Aromasin to keep my estrogen in check...

Keeping estrogen in control, most need it, some don’t. Bloodwork will tell

Congratulations! You just listed the PERFECT beginner’s cycle!”

Test as suggested by others will be what you hear that is the most logical. A year or two of strict training and diet THEN followed by a steroid or two is the best option. You WILL grow and see remarkable results from the steroids then.

I watched a guy for over a year putting in the work, logging everything in a big, swollen, nasty notebook. I asked him about gear and he was against it but recognized his impasse. I gave him a couple of bottles of dianabol and an old school taper program (wasn’t old school in 1989).
He stepped over that plateau.

I wouldn’t say I’m a beginner to lifting (I’m very familiar with lifts, form, etc) from training a lot when I was younger but my physique would say otherwise(stopped training for ~2 years), I’m 5’8 155 lbs at the moment at around 12% body fat . I recently lost 15 lbs over the course of 3 months by cutting down on calories and being consistent with training and nutrition . It probably would have been better to bulk and add muscle mass but I just didn’t like the body fat I had . Now I’m just beginning a bulk and I’m sure I can be consistent with my training and nutrition so I plan on milking the shit out of my newbie gains for a year and seeing where that puts me.

Would it be a waste to hop on a cycle straight out of the gate/ not take advantage of newbie gains (or can you stack newbie gains and steroids and get massive af)? I should be able to make quite a bit of progress from the newbie gains alone right?

A beginners cycle with any sup or AAS would be supraphysiological dosages above any medical treatment, or just outside of that.. Anything that would be taking anything that you haven't already.. there is NO official set gold standard "beginners cycle".. there's suggestions and protocols, but nothing that is a bonafide cycle with a name..

in terms and slang, a beginners cycle mostly caters around exhausting all of you natural resources with dieting and training along with allow your body to be at the appropriate time to start PED use with age and time earned..

This but I would change things slightly. Your AI should only be taken when needed. No point to add more drugs to your body if you dont need them.

PCT should be taken 2 weeks after last shot.

Otherwise this is it. Test only first cycle. No point adding anything else because you will make the same gains.

Personally I would go longer like 16 weeks, 500mg test E or C per week split dose, 12.5mg aroma EOD until you get blood work then adjust.

Look around for awhile a lot of your answer have been answered a great place to learn

For a beginner or first time using and plan on using again and living the life l say start with Test. Only use 200-250mg a week for 10-12 weeks. One, to see how you respond some people can’t use certain oils they get a nasty reaction. Two, like I said if you are going to use start with low dose because your future cycles you will go up in dose slightly every cycle. So you don’t want to be doing 1,000mg of Test by cycle 5 you will eventually hit a wall.
You will find a sweet spot like 500-800 (just giving an example) and see that you don’t need large amounts of gear to progress.
On your second cycle do 300-350 Test and add in 200 of Deca or NPP or even EQ. If you start with Test P 100, a fast acting(short ester) or Test E or C, a slow acting(long ester) I recommend doing two doses aw say on Mon and Fri. Half a ml of Test E or C or 1ml of Test P. Take your time you don’t want to be doing more than 2g of gear aw by next year. Do some research plenty of info here.

Do NOT do test prop for first cycle. The pain/struggle is real

What is everyone’s thoughts on iso for first cycle? I know c/e are the norm but iso has a similar half life and most people seem to love it

Beginner cycle could be many different combos and single compound. No rules set in stone. It all depends on your goal, your shape, lifting experience. My beginning cycle 33 years ago was Sust 250 with the horse needle out of Mexico for 10 weeks. I put on good 15 pounds and my strength went through the roof. I remember guys used to inject in the parking lot of Golds, throw down a Dbol and walk in an lift. LOL

 

[ArgonCoagulator]

Although not the general consensus, I don't think throwing in some EQ or Deca instead taking a bunch of test would be a problem either. Looking back I would have fared well with Anabolics for my first cycle as higher test cycles don't work for me. 200-250 test plus 500mg+ anything else is my sweet spot, except Tren, in which my dosage is yet to be determined.

I think training for a while before doing a cycle is a good idea. You will learn more about training and how to eat correctly. I put on over 40 pounds of muscle in my first 3 years without using anything. You can get to the top of your natural genetics faster by using steroids, but don't pick up as much learning along the way.

What do you mean by, "except tren. My dose is yet TBD" ? Have trouble with it?

Save Tren for MUCH later. If your not drug tested, advance from test only to test + deca (Tren and Deca both Nor19 based, have Cabergoline on hand if you experience Deca Dick) : ). For some, Tren has awful sides. I love how it works. But it causes insomnia and severe night sweats, wife won't tolerate me in bed on tren.
I got my first couple cycles in TJ in early 90's. First cycle was test c @ 200 per week for 12 weeks. Everybody that knew me was like HUH? I said Metrx, creatine and HMB and nobody believed me.

If you must read a book, my favorite is Bill Robert's Anabolic Reference Guide 6th addition. I hear you can find it on ebay (its out of print).
My second cycle was test/deca 200/200. Very nice.

But as everyone is saying, take your time, keep first few low dose so PCT is easy (keep gains better post cycle). I've tried high dose 2-3 gram week cycles. Great for Powerlifting, or if you are looking for that Michelin man appearance... at such low doses you may not need Caber or an Aromatase Inhibitor.

The Kick Start
If you do test e/c only cycle or test/deca understand, it takes time for your blood plasma levels to peak (4-6 weeks). This time frame newbies often think their gear is bunk when, in fact it depots for weeks at each injection point gradually leeching into blood stream, gets stored in fat cells, then returns to bloodstream where the ester is cleaved off and the AAS free to go to work.

Hence the Kick Start - A strong oral AAS for first 4 weeks starting same day as first injection. Classic Kick started cycle for 3rd or 4th cycle:
20 mg Dianabol in divided dosages (4.5 hour half life).
200+ test c/e
200 + deca

As said, learn what dosage(s) are effective at lowest level possible.

How long had you been training before you started?

Yeah those are valid points. I guess I just have to be patient and work at it for a bit before I decide to jump in.

Do you really grow that much in 12 weeks? Enough to where people are like "wtf?".

 

[Sem]

Depends on your natural test level. I didn't do blood work but was 24, had already gained nearly 40 lb since joining the Army @ 18 -22 (149 lbs - 189ish but not low BF just fit).
National avg for mid 20's is 700 ng/dl. 200 mg test c weekly should get ME to ~ 1,200 - 1,400 ng/dl. Basically double God's plan for most men ;-)

If You gain 20 lbs over a 12 week cycle, most of it by week 9 or so, you have buy new shirts, if your diet was sub-optimal new trousers too....heck, I went NATURALLY from 149lbs to 165ish over 8 weeks Basic Training plus 8 weeks Advanced Training back to back. Got a 30 day pass, went home to see soon to be ex-girly and everyone noticed. What's your secret bro???? "Serve your Country!" I know guys that lost 75 lbs over the same time frame too.

I didn't break over 200 keepable pounds until I cycled at 24.

So that leads back to...hitting a plateau before first cycle...I said it already, unless your trying to go college football, your on a NATURAL cycle from 18 - 21 (growth spurt). Any plateau at that age means your not eating, resting, sleeping or training right, or any combo thereof.
