First cycle, what to expect?

[Testosterone Junkie]

Last night I started my first cycle ever, but right now it's just fina (for lack of anything else to stack it with...). What kind of gains should I expect just from the fina? I've heard that because I'm a "virgin" they should be pretty decent. Anyone know? If it matters I'm 5'7" 185# with 12% BF. Thanks.

So Testosterone Junkie, you are running your FIRST cycle of Tren only??? Good lord...why???? How much are you running and for how long? What possesed you to run tren for your first cycle? As far as gains...well hard to say but tren is pretty strong stuff...great strength, quality lbm, not much water (depending on diet). How old are you? How long have you been lifting?

Yes

Good lord...why????

Big-orexia. And that's what was available. I won't have access to anything else for about a month

How much are you running and for how long?

My trainer/buddy's handling that.

I'm 33 and been lifting heavy just about 3 years. Have a good base now so we decided it was time to start. Especially since my metabolism makes it hard to pack on mass unless I'm eating 20 hours per day.

Junkie,

You need some test. Thats a total waste of time. I dont know what kind of trainer he is, but its not bodybuilding. Why do you need to wait a month for test, when there are so many good sponsors here on the board. Wait till you have all the gear then start. You are starting something half-assed.


If you have 12%BF its not hard to put on mass.

I agree you should have some test there

So you dont know how much you are going to run and for how long? What type of tren is it? Hex, ace, or enanthate? Seriously you are putting something into your body without much knowledge. I did the same things when I was younger and nothing available, no other resources besides friends... How good of a friend is he? or is he just a pt that is selling some gear to you?

You should expect some good acne, maybe some hair loss, some progesterone and prolactin sides (eg gyno), and possibly a limp dick. I'm sure I missed something, but thats just off the top of my head from the cycle you proposed.

In all seriousness you should stop the tren, get some test and run it at a reasonable dose. How do you build from running tren your first cycle? I mean where do you go from there? You go to crazy unsafe dosages because you're going to be chasing the gains made from that first cycle of tren. I would seriously reconsider following any advice from someone that pointed you to a tren only cycle for your first run.

Good advice from the guys here! This is NOT a good first cycle choice.

Especially good comments from you, Liphted!

Thanks for all the replies and advice. Lots of good info there. It's really not as sketchy as it sounds. This is a a friend that I trust with my life whos helping me get huge and I've seen him transform others. As for how much, we're starting with 1cc every other day, I don't know exactly what kind it is but it's from his personal supply and don't know how long we're running. He's the expert, I'm learning as I go. And let's face it, I'd inject Drano if I thought it would make me huge... My goal is 240# by summer and 280# within 1 year. Anyway, test is coming in about another month because I may be able to get it legally and free so before I try ordering from overseas or one of the many shady sources in town I'm going that route.

Well good luck with the cycle, you will get good results in my opinion just not the best cycle whether first cycle or not. You are probably running tren acetate, one of my fav compounds to run. You should ask to confirm and find out the strength. You may also want to look into an anti estrogen that combats prolactin such as dostinex, bromocriptine, or even winstrol in case you get gyno symptons, hopefully your friend has made you aware of these things already. I wouldnt recommend running that cycle too long either, once again tren is pretty harsh.

Injecting Draino?? 280 in a year?? Whats the rush?? You are gonna need a miracle if you said you are a "hardgrainer" and you wanna gain 100lbs of good weight in a year?? 60 by summer......jeez?

The Draino comment was just an inside joke. I need to learn to be more careful with my words, people don't always get my humor. I scared a girl off in a bar last weekend when she came over and asked if I was a fireman because I was so "beefy" and I told her "no, I'm just a freak". Leave it to me to kill the mood

And I'm not really that hard of a gainer. I just don't have that much of an appetite. Yet.

And why not the rush? I decided on my goal and set a date. That's how I take life. I wasted half of it screwing around. Now I see what I want and I take it. Period.

And I've been checking out the "premade" cycles on Alinshop... due to the advice here I may look into getting ahold of one of those.
