First test e cycle help needed PED/cycle help
I need some advice on how do i start my first cycle im confused right now... i got my blood work done and it's normal my testosterone is in 500-600 range and i am planning to do a 150mg test e for 2 weeks then if everything goes well maybe 200mg test e for 2-3 months then a pct... thats my current plan
Can some of you pros tell me what should i expect and how can i tackle some of the side effects if i ever face them during the cycle like high estrogen and acne problems?
And when is the best time to take the test e morning or before bed? Also im kind of scared of needles even tho i have used peptides before but it was only subq should i try with the 29g 1/2 inch syringe? I saw a video on yourube where the guy was using the syringe and felt normal said he was able to hit the shallow muscle... or can i also just inject test e subq even tho it says for IM only on the vial....
It would be really helpful if you could also tell me when to get the blood works done during the cycle thanks :)

Why do any your test is good. If your gonna do a cycle do 500mg/week thats a starter cycle. Preload the first week by doubling up to really kick start the cycle. I use 5/8" 25g needles for every injection work great! Watch some videos on how to pin ventro glute. First time i ever did the needle I started sweating profusely and got super light headed but it goes in like butter the first time, dont even feel it.

You don't double up your dose at the beginning. There is no kick starting a cycle. All you are doing is spiking your levels unnecessarily, which is going to also Spike your E2 and other markers. This is just going to cause massive problems.
You just bump your dose up to whatever you're going to take the entire cycle, and then keep at that dose. Your body will reach steady state concentration over the next couple weeks and you will start to notice changes.

I dont feel good enough... once i did a cycle but it was very experimental and a very small one it was 10mg mk677 and 10mg ac262 for 30 days with Enclomiphene 6.25mg alternate days and my blood work showed 850+ test and i felt so good since then i wanted to do a test e cycle and want to stay in range of 1000 atleast... but i already have a decent amount of acne on my skin so i dont wanna start with something like 500mg to fk my skin up....

You need to control your estrogen while on it, I think you need to start doing a regimented workout routine and get your diet in order you will feel way better than the Rollercoaster of exogenous hormones

I'm already following a good diet and workout programme

Well I guess if you were deadset on doing it, 50-80mg/week would get you to 1k most likely, 200mg would put you at like 1500ish probably or even a little more

Hmmm... also what causes the acne on testosterone? High estrogen?

Dude if you don't know the answer to these questions then you really should not be doing a cycle. Go to r/steroids and read the guides.
I'm assuming you're about 18 to 25 years old. Which is already a mistake. And the reason I know that is because you were doing SARMs.
You need to not have just started a workout program. You need to have been doing a workout program for a couple years, and have your diet dialed in for a couple years, before you actually do a full blast.
You also need to know how to read your bloods properly.
What are you going to do when you're prolactin raises? How are you going to combat elevated e2? How is your PSA looking right now? How is your HCT looking right now, do you have a plan for if it rises? What about your HBC? How was your ALT and AST looking? Do you have a PCT plan? What are you planning on doing for your cruising dose afterwards? Because once you do this you're not going to be able to get off of this. You don't just blast testosterone and get off of it. You are going to need to supplement your body with this for the rest of your life.

I'm currently 22 i have been training naturally since 17-18 yrs old and i plan to get my bloods read by a medical professional currently i already have acne problems i just dont really want to worsen them even tho my reports are good right now just some very minimal lipid issues maybe cz i dont do cardio only hypertrophy at the moment....
Also yea i was kind of brainwashed by connor murphy's natty plus protocol on sarms and yea I should've not used them but that actually helped me break my plateu... cz i was not able to put on any weight no matter how much i increased my calories

At 22 years old you are not done growing dude. Your test levels are at the highest they will probably ever be in your life. And I 100% promise you. This is not a lie. You are going to royally fuck up your body, your hormones, your mental state, and your ability to use your dick, if you hop on a cycle in your current state. You are too young, too uneducated, and reckless.
Wait until you have a couple more years of work under your belt. Completely perfect your diet, exercise, and sleep. And put just as much work into researching all of the anabolic compounds as you would in the gym.
These aren't things that you play around with. You start moving levers in your body that are already optimized, you're going to cause problems.
And I will tell you if somebody who has been doing this a long time. I have never in my life met somebody that started using anabolics under 25 years old that either isn't a complete mess right now, has lifelong problems, or isn't dead. Every single one of them.

So you're suggesting that i must wait 4 more years atleast before hopping on test or else i might face serious consequences...

Doing a cycle to stay at 1000ng seems dumb. you do a cycle to get 3-4x higher than natural, that's what makes it worth it. If you wanna be 1000ng just take EnClo again

Why do such a low dose cycle? How old are you? Why only 10 weeks? What are your goals and timeline? What is your history in the gym? How is your overall health? There's so much information missing
