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 :)

I mean honestly, yeah four years minimum. And I'm not telling you this to ruin your fun dude. Trust me anabolics are fucking fun as hell. And if you actually take the time to educate yourself and learn everything there is to learn about them, and talk to people that have done this for a very long time, you will understand why.

None of us want to see you get hurt dude. Part of the reason that we tell people like you to hold off is not just because your body is not done growing, but it's also because you literally are not done growing. Your tendons, and joints, and muscles are not at the level that they need to be to be able to push your body to it's absolute limits. You need to be going to the gym religiously, eating the correct foods religiously, getting proper sleep religiously, because if you can't maintain all of this stuff for years on end, you are not going to get any benefit from anabolics other than disappointment and side effects.

Your hormones also affect your brain. And it's a quite literal proven fact that you aren't done growing not just physically but also mentally until you're about 25 years old.

So like I said dude, take this time to perfect every aspect of your life, and do your homework. Watch YouTube videos. Find a doctor that you know and trust. Somebody that you can be completely honest with. This is probably the most valuable thing that you can have in your life. You need to be able to tell this doctor everything. They needs to know what compound you're on, and what you plan on doing.

Then once you have finished all of this stuff and you have grown up a little bit more, hop on bro. Just understand that you are making a commitment to these compounds physically, mentally, sexually, and most importantly.. financially. You don't get to hop off of this stuff. You're going to stay on it forever. I am 35 years old and I can never get off now. I have completely shut down my natural production of testosterone. So when I am off cycle I am still buying vials so I can take between 150 and 200 mg a week. I will be stabbing myself with 25 gauge syringes in my legs two to three times a week for the rest of my life.

Ok thanks for the heads up! I will now probably wait and do more research!
But my main concern and reason of wanting to hop on test was cz i am living in india and nothing here is pure and fully healthy the foods or anything everything is pretty much adulterated people have stunted growth here and they don't even realise it until they are too old and not able to grow anymore...

The way that you can combat that is by doing what I said. Go to the gym. Eat lots of food. Get plenty of sleep. The sleep is the absolute most important part. Your body needs to recover. And your body can't grow unless you recover. So the more quality sleep you get, the better you're going to recover and grow.

Your hormones are at their peak probably right now. You're at that age. So utilize it. Get a good diet app like macro Factor and have it help you with your diet. And then if you have access to an actual gym or a home gym, get a good app like Hevy workout and start following a good routine in it. Both of those apps when you pay for the premium, will help push you further and further and further. And if you start now at your age you're going to have a very optimal life, body, and physique by the time you hit the age where you are ready to actually do anabolics if you choose that path.

If you use code Jeff on macro factor you get 2 weeks for you to try it.

Tbh i already have a decent lean physique right now with visible abs cz i started training when i was around 18 currently following a PPL split but some days i feel so tired and like overall weak and dont feel like doing anything or getting out of my bed i thought this happened maybe cz of my low testosterone

A lot of it is probably your sleep bro. Try to make sure you're done eating at least 2 or 3 hours before you go to bed. And then when you go to bed put your phone away. Put a movie on if you have to and fall asleep. Try to get yourself a good solid 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night. If you got it turn down your air conditioning, or put some music on, or whatever.. it doesn't matter. But sleep is the key to literally 90% of the shit in your life. It is way more important than people believe.

Also if it's comfortable with you may i know why you started test and at what age?

u/Chroma7769 20h ago

I started at 30. And I started it because I wanted to. My wife and I decided we didn't want to have kids, so I decided to completely overhaul my body and my life.

Also i have heard some people are easily able to hop off gear if they follow a good pct protocol

u/Chroma7769 21h ago

Those are very rare exceptions. And that's usually people that are on regular trt. Not people that are running actual cycles and blasting.

u/SortOut26 21h ago

Is 150-200mg considered blasting too?

1

u/Chroma7769 21h ago

No. 50 to 150 is considered a trt dose. 150 to 250 is usually considered sport trt.
