One of the most common mistakes that bodybuilders make when starting their first cycle is going too high on the dosages or too exotic with the compounds. You have plenty of time to grow into those advanced cycles of 800 mg of this ester and 600 mg of that Nandrolone variant. The beauty of steroid use is that the body responds very, very well to the earliest cycles – even if they are smaller doses. You’re going to grow about as much from a small starter cycle of testosterone as you will from a larger cycle of something more powerful. That first cycle your receptors are at their freshest. Over time, as you complete more cycles, your body will slowly adapt and require a greater volume of compounds each time. You’ll need to start adding second and third drugs to your stacks in order to make them actually work. When you have run cycles of ten or more years, you’ll be flirting with taking everything under the stun just to keep your body weight up and keep the gains coming. You will adapt to your steroid use over time.
For this reason, it is imperative that young bodybuilders make their first cycles a small dose round of testosterone. The compounds Testosterone Cypionate is a great steroid for that first cycle. Effective dosing for a beginner can be as low as 400 mg per week. Your next cycle would be 600 mg per week. Your third cycle could be 600 mg per week with Deca-Durabolin stacked upon it. You might make the 4th cycle include all of the above plus Winstrol. See how each cycle has to be progressively stronger? The basis of all of that is a small and steady cycle of something like Test Cyp.
Test Cyp is affordable as well! You’ll spend $20 or less on a ml, which will last you 2 to 4 weeks. The results you will see cannot be questioned – every successful bodybuilder on every chemically assisted level has run testosterone as the basis of most of his cycles. The muscle gains will be steady and predictable. Side effects will vary based upon your own constitution (internal responsiveness to drugs) thanks to genetics. You may see some gyno, male pattern baldness, acne, and some testicular atrophy. A small post-cycle therapy (PCT) cycle afterwards can return your testosterone levels to normal within about a month.
Test Cypionate and Testosterone Enanthate are remarkably similar in their function and performance. Sustanon 250 is considered a less effective starter testosterone product. Many users, when suddenly presented with available AAS, may take the opportunity to pile on the drugs for that first cycles, hoping to really “nail it” early on. The results will be the opposite, however. They will only end up limiting their potential long-term gains and setting the gear requirements higher for all future cycles. Don’t fall into the “more is better” trap when it comes to planning your first cycle. Stick with small doses of a tried-and-true earner such as Testosterone Cypionate for your first cycle and grow from there.
