I’m finally ready to run my first cycle and keep it simple with just Test. For guys who’ve done it, what’s a solid beginner dose without going overboard?

500mg a week split into 2 pins is the classic for a reason. Been around forever and still work.

I did 400mg for 12 weeks on my first. Blew up without crazy sides. More is not always better, bro.

Yeah, I don’t wanna blast too hard. Just steady gains without turning into a side effect story.

Under 300mg and you’re just cruising, not cycling. Waste of pinning.

500mg Test E, pin Mon/Thurs, done. Smooth, easy, predictable.

Make sure you’ve got your AI ready. Estrogen spikes can sneak up and gyno will mess with your head bad. Happened to a buddy on his first, he panicked and bailed halfway through.

That’s the nightmare I’m trying to avoid. I’ll have an AI on deck before I start.

Don’t forget the diet, bro. First cycles hit different if you’re eating big and clean, you’ll pack on muscle like crazy. If your half-ass the food, you’ll just be wasting the gear.

Keep it Test only. Don’t even think about Tren or Deca first run. You wanna see how your body handles Test alone before stacking.
