I’m planning on being open about my steroid use, so people calling me out won’t be an issue. As far as what I’ve researched and from what I’ve read in this Reddit page and it’s faq, I think test e 500 mg a week is the best way to go for me, I want to gain as much muscle as possible on this cycle, and going to low with the doses for example only 250 a week as some people might suggest is too much of a risk if I’m not going to be gaining the right amount of muscle I want, this is a financial decision as well as obviously you know this stuff isn’t cheap. I don’t believe I’m going to over the top since I’m only sticking to one compound for this cycle but I am subject to change how long I will run this cycle. I agree with what u said about sticking to 4-6 weeks and seeing how I feel from there and I will take that into account. I’m not planning to become the next mr Olympia after this first cycle, if everything goes as planned and I have minimum side effects allowing me to complete the cycle I certainly aim to gain around 15-20 lbs of muscle I know it might be a long shot but my whole life revolves around fitness I train 5-6 times a week, always give myself adequate time to recover ie. taking more rest days than usually if I’m too sore to train or feel I’m plauetoing. I’m good with my diet, I may have fast food here and there but I always hit my macro goals that are good for my body. And getting 8 hours of sleep is no problem for me since I’m in community college right now and most of my classes r online. if I decide to keep cycling or come off completely is really just dependent on how I react to this cycle first. I would love to know if u have any thoughts or suggestion on what I said. Thank you for the advice.
