Hey all.... my first post after lurking for ages!!
I know this belongs in another forum, but I have wanted to make a “first post” here for a while, and helping someone out (hopefully) on my first go seems like a nice way to break the ice.
I'm very experienced with steroids and can TRY to answer almost anything you ask (other than source requests)...or can at least point you in the right direction if I can't honestly answer you. I moderate on one of the nets larger anabolic boards and am more than happy to answer stuff on this side of the pond if when I can.
I think at this stage of the game if you are considering steroid use, I'd hope you’d have your training & diet in place...gear will help you over plateaus and help overcome genetic limitations (to a degree) but is a complete waste of time for the average 70kg small guy looking to be HUGE in 8 weeks.
Doesn't work that way.
Don't expect much from the local gym dealer in way of advice. He's basically going to smell you as a newbie and beef up the effects of whatever it is he has in stock...or rather what ever stock he has that he can't sell
There is a lot of underground gear floating around. It is pretty much a crapshoot. But the underground labs are a better bet than anything with a brand name on it being sold thru a gym.
Don't bother with an oral only cycle. Use Test as a base and throw in a low dose of a milder anabolic like Deca or EQ. It's not a bad idea to run a low dose of an aromatase inhibitor like arimidex or letrozole throughout the cycle and then run the standard PCT of Clomid for up to 3 weeks post cycle. The time you begin PCT will depend on the ester of the gear you use. If you use a longer acting Test like Enanthate or Cypionate, start PCT 2 weeks after the last shot. If you use a short ester like Propionate or phenyl propionate, begin three days after the last shot. It depends on the active life of the longest acting ester or all the hormones you use.
Oral only cycles are never a great idea.
