proper dosage and blood test.

[ctsalbs]

couple quick questions.. is 600 mg. too much a week for a beginning cycle. I'm planning to run 10 weeks. I see guys talking about 15 week test cycles but there dosages are smaller it seems(?)..

question 2: will this blood test suffice for me pre, during and post cycle? Or is there something more comprehensive I should get?

CLARIFICATION: I'll be using Test E

Generally 500mg per week, injecting twice a week (250mg each time). And run your cycle 12-16 weeks. Ten weeks is probably a bit short. There’s no reason to run it that high right out the gate, you’ll respond well to smaller doses.

As for bloods, I don’t personally see a need to test your test levels if your gear is legit. Sensitive estradiol is what you’ll want to see your estro levels.

That's a good test, yes.

Since this is your first cycle, I do recommend doing labs before you start so you have a base line to compare too. Mid cycles are good to see how you respond and to give you a reference of how you feel at a given level. Labs vary, UGL gear isn't necessarily dosed as exact as pharm. Find a TT level that works for you, then if you switch labs, adjust your dose to hit your target TT number. "Good" gear is accurately dosed and consistent, some labs will over-dose their gear so you think it's great, but in truth all you did was increase your dose without knowing it, which in my opinion is not good. Same goes for under-dosed gear, just adjust your dose and don't whine about it being less than another one, and don't expect all UGL's to be equal.

How old are you and how big are you/how much do you weigh? I like 600/wk for blasts, I feel I get more out of it than 500, but anything over 600 is too much for me, I just get more sides but don't seem to see much more in terms of gains. I do think 10 weeks is too short for a test e cycle. You'll just really be hitting your stride when it's time to come off. Personally, I would probably go for 16, you'll get a lot more out of it and should still recover the same.

ok, so that being said my vials are 300 mg/ml... will I just need to perform a calculation to figure how how many mL 250mg would be? That should pump me out extra week per vial, also, bumping me out to 12 weeks. hadn't really thought about that part. Thanks for the advice.

 

[ctsalbs]

I'm 5'11, 185... still building before I start cycling. I'm between 10-13% body fat. I'd like to be 190+ before I begin. I just saw most of the recommendations were for 500 a week. I know that 600 is a pretty accepted amount I just hadn't seen it widely suggested for a first cycle. Thank you for the advice I'm beginning to think I need to cycle for a longer period. dropping down to 500 a week might give me a better starting point and would give me a couple extra weeks out of the gear that I already have.

 

[Rumpy]

Oh ok, Yes, I think you will do very well on 500/week. I guess my question was really are you 185 or 285, lol. To make pinning easy with 300mg/ml gear, I would do 0.85ml 2X week, that will put you at 510mg/wk, and should be easy to read on a slin pin.

Don't forget your PCT and AI

16 weeks and 600 is ok. 500 is typical but 600 is okay; just may have a little more E2 to deal with.
That blood work panel is good. I always recommend testing 2 weeks prior to your cycle and 4-5 weeks in.

Always have MORE than enough on hand. You’ll likely be short a shot or two due to overzealous dosing and/or compound loss and/or under filled viles.

This right here...if i need 4 i get 6 and so on....if youre worried about money this game isnt for you lol

 

[ctsalbs]

I don't know where you gathered money was an issue. I purchased what I thought I needed for a cycle. just hadn't considered having more on hand or running longer than 10 weeks. I'm going to get another vial of 300 which will hopefully give me 18 weeks worth total at 500 a week. run a 15 week cycle. thanks again ya'll for the advice.

Make sure you have everything you need before you start: gear, food budget, pins, pct, side piece, main piece, porn, etc.

 

[deejeff442]

Lol 1st cycle yep alot of porn

 

[DevilDoc87]

My first cycle I ruined a 3 year relationship because she was out of town for maybe a week and I ****ed like 5 different girls.. all of whom found out about each other. Fun times. Keep your dick beaters in good shape, because you’ll be using em.

Good choice bro, go for a 15 week, you’ll love it. My first was 500mg/week for 12 (I extended to 15 because I didn’t want to quit lol) and 50mg/ml dbol ed for 4x weeks.. that shit was so overdosed; hit me like a fkin freight train.

haha

good luck.

Viles? I'll just chalk that one up to autocorrect Mr. Grammar Nazi.

The way to think about it is if your gear is 300mg/ml, you have 30mg per line on the barrel of your pin as they are measured off in tenths. 8x30 = 240mg x 2 shots per week = 480mg/wk.

I am a terrible speller. Sometime autocorrect doesn't even know what I'm trying to type. But good katch!
