new guy first cycle

[bigJT]

I'm a new guy on the site and want to thank everyone for all the great info i have already read. Ive been powerlifting for about 10 years Im 6'2" 265 33yrs old, but never done any juice. I have recently had some injuries and I'm trying to get back on track I'd like to get leaner and get some of my strength back and ready to try a cycle. My intent was to do 300-400 mg of deca a week for 10 wks. but after reading some of the other post I feel I may need to add sus 250 @ 250mg a week. I want to maintain my gains post cycle and avoid side effects such as hairloss, deca dick and mood swings, etc as much as possible. My questions are do I need the sus 250? Do I need clomid, nolvadex, arimidex or any other anti estrogen supplements?, if so what should I take? and when should I take it?, and how much should I take? I may be a litlle over cautious but I have never done a cycle before and I dont know how I will react I just want to be prepared. Thanks for any input that will help me along.

You do alittle more reading these are all covered on this board. You should try the search button, no flames intende but if you don't know if you need post cycle recovery you don't know enough to start a cycle. Just here to help.

I wouldn't stack on a first cycle. Simply to see how your body reacts to different AAS. When you are runnig 2 AAS at the same time it's hard to tell which is doing what. I would not add in the sustanon, especially if you are worried about hairloss, as you probably know test blows your hair off, maybe not at 250mg/week, but why take the chance? Stick with the DECA.. and read up on post cycle recovery. It's probably safe to run the DECA on it's at the dosage you've quoted, if you wanna play safe, read up on what anti e's you may want to have on hand in case of side effects. Or you might wanna try the Sust alone it's up to you.

I would def. read up on deca especially if you plan on doing a deca only cycle. I think test would be needed with it to avoid deca dick. I have never done deca so I have no real room to talk, just going off what I haev heard. You can prevent or help hairloss with the test. I 've only done one cycle with test and never had any hairloss. Sus is suppose to be awesome. Deca will shut your test production down hard so I have heard. In some I hear it can be extremely hard to start back up. Sounds like you need to do a lot more research, but I will tell you plan on buying clomid. Realgains wrote an excellent article on clomid. Read it....everything you need to knoow about it. Good luck and let us know what you decide. PS welcome!!!

I will tell you should research some more. Not just here but other boards as well. Oppinions vary greatly, especially on first cycles. It took me 9 months to decide on my first. I think at your age you could benifit from ading some test. Clomid is a must as well as an anti-e. You'll find some say never do deca alone(which I agree with) and some have done it alone with great results and no problems. If you do test and deca your test dosage should be higher than the deca. In the end it's all up to you.

I have done deca by itself, your sex drive does drop a little towards the end of the cylce but should not be to bad at the doses you are talking about. I did not do a post recovery cylce the last time I did it, but in hindsite I should have. It did shut me down about 3 weeks after the cycle. Nothing major, but it was noticable. I would throw in some clomid at the end just to be safe. Couldn't hurt anything.

Thanks for the input but just as all of the other post ive read opinions vary greatly. I have been researching but its hard to nail down exactly what to do with so many different opinions. I guess I should just go for it and see what happens. More input is definitely welcome here.

from everything i've read(here on this board), i say do the deca with test. the test will keep your libido stable and i think possibly help with hairloss.

Oh, and don't forget the post cycle recovery. hcg(for your nads if they shrink)clomid or nolva(gyno)and arimidex(for any bloating)

sorry can't help you with the dosages as i've never done deca.

just my .02
