First cycle advice

[531gainz]

Planning on running Deca and test c as my first cycle. Read Deca is a good choice for that if you’re concerned about joint health which I am. Was going to run Test at ~500 week and Deca at 250 - 300 week. I’ve read that it’s best to start low and see how you react. Was planning on running for 12 weeks. Based on everyone’s experience when they were newbies does this sound okay? I appreciate everyone’s advice
Edit: just read someone else’s first cycle thread…. Perhaps just a 500mg test as the first run and no Deca….. stats: I’m 39 and have been lifting on and off for long time. Maxes 315bp/405sq/400+ dl.

Just run test for ur first cycle. Go for 16 weeks IMO. Get bloods halfway see how ur responding and check E2 levels. That way if u get sides, u know exactly where it's coming from.

To get the most out of ur cycle, make food ur #1 priority.

Goodluck

Don’t run deca your first cycle. Just do test. Deca was a nightmare for me.

Test only

Don't do deca. Your first cycle should always be pure test.

After you run a cycle or 2 of test, you're better off doing NPP instead of Deca as it has a short ester, so if you don’t respond well you don't get stuck with it in your system for a long time. Personally my first non test only cycle will be Test and Mast E. I think those 2 compliment each other well and will provide the longer term growth and sustainability I want. So I would recommend doing test mast or test primo for a 3rd cycle, but do 1st as test only, 500 to 600 mg weekly. Like mwf 200mg shots

Thanks for everyone’s response. Will stick to test only for first and possibly second cycle. I chose Test C for its longer half life originally but if I’m pinning 3xweek is Test C still a viable option? Will it cause problems pinning 3 x week with an 8 day half life? Thanks again bros

No issue. You’ll get to the 600mg in your bloodstream and it may go up a bit but it’ll settle right around there and hold steady throughout the cycle. I tend to like Sun, Tue/Wed, Fri schedule for this reason.
