It's UGL. I researced for a long time and tried to get my hands on pharma grade, but was unable to. I also researched the reserach chems for a long time since it was obvious that many of them are bunk/bad.

Yeah, it just shows the importance of running bloods. Especially for us newbies. I'll be running bloods again in six weeks to see where I'm at. So you think it is most likely that my first test was underdosed and that my AI is bunk? I've had >1500 of test in all three bloods (week 4, 8, and...

I was unpleasantly surprised myself to say the least! And you might be right about that because my baseline blood work said testosterone 407 and estradiol 29. In other words not a very good ratio! I have not experienced itchy nipples or anything, but I would say that I might have had more bloat...

I've been running my first cycle the last 12 weeks (500 mg Test E/week, with 12.5 mg aromasin eod) and have done blood work every four weeks. Both four weeks in and eight weeks in my estradiol was in the high 60s. However, I switched to a different supplier of test for the remaining four weeks...

How did you run your first cycle? Did you run adex or aromasin with that one?

Are you saying it will cost you $115 per week to run test at 500mg/week?? Damn, glad to live in the US!

I think you'd hate the pain more than getting new needles if using them for quads ;)

Agreed! Thank you to all the mods! Your knowledge and willingness to share is invaluable to all, and especially newcomers to the aas-scene like myself. Personal shout-out to Dylan. Thank you!

Good decision bro.

Yeah, I know that, at least for me, I have to be careful about putting in too much volume. I've learned that the hard way before getting burnt out and responded much better when I cut the volume a bit. I guess I'll have to experiment a little bit and see how much I can take while on my first cycle.

^^^ This! You have so much potential to build a solid base now in your younger years with all that natural testosterone floating around.

I'm a firm believer in enough sleep. I think a lot of people take to lightly about sleeping enough and letting the body rest and repair. After all, that's when we repair the damage done and come back stronger! Thanks for replies! I'll hit it hard as always!

Post up your stats: height, weight, bodyfat, and I'm sure some of the vets will chime in :)

Do you usually increase your intensity, volume or frequency on cycle compared to off-peroids? I'm doing my first cycle soon and after lifting for nine years I have a pretty good feeling about how much I can push myself before overtraining. I know that I will recover a lot faster and have...

Insane vascularity!
