This is going to be the first time I’ve ever used steroids. I’m looking to use testosterone and I’m looking to go 500 mg a week. I want it to be 12 weeks. I’m 5’7’’ and 130lbs. 10% body fat and want to bulk up. Do you think I will need an AI on this cycle? And do I need to come off testosterone or can I lower to those when the cycle is done?
You wouldn't make any apple pie without apples right ? Same applies for testosterone you wouldn't run a fairly big dose with utilizing AI from day one.
Things to consider if you dont have bloodwork you should get it done before you cycle so you understand your baseline numbers.
Injection frequency do you have that set in place ? If not id split it into 2-3 injections a week totaling 500mg a week the dose you are after.
You can Google trt dose calculator and some free ones will pop up you can punch in the strength of the testosterone 200/250 etc, you can then enter the desired dose and number or injections a week, it will then tell u how much you need to draw into the syringe on each injection to reach a total of 500mg for the week.
As far as AI either Arimidex or Aromasin
I go with Aromasin less harsh on lipids and the body in my experience with it, i would go 25mg a week total, you can break the tablet in half that would be 12.5mg a half, take one half on one injection day and the other half on the other injection day =25mg Aromasin
As far as after the cycle this depends how old are you ? What are your plans for the rest of your life ? Kids ? Do you want to keep your hpta intact and functioning properly ? If i was you and this is your first cycle i would run a full post cycle therapy after your cycle is completed.
The longer you stay on the longer you need time off to let the body heal and recover, if you are on 12 weeks u should take 24 weeks off in my experience.
We have a pct sticky on the site somewhere that will tell u everything you need to know and do.
Being its a first cycle id come off and do a pct, if you were on trt it would be different.
Also you seem super green asking if you need AI i would research or ask as many questions as possible before u jump in and fully make your mind up on this.

You may or may not require an AI. But it best to always have on hand just in case
You have lifting experience? What do you eat? Like pop tarts and lunchables, or like steak and eggs? 5’7” 130 isn’t tiiiiny. For sure, you can get a lot bigger. You could come off after your cycle, or you could trt. There’s a lot to weigh. If your training and diet aren’t adequate, what I see happening is you blow up on 500mg, then lose most all of it, and potentially look a bit worse after it all. I have seen this happen.
If you are pretty dialed in eating, resting, training, you could really make gains on 500mg and come off, lose a lot of it but slowly, and ideally settle at a point that is a bit bigger and stronger than you were originally. This would be ideal if you are very healthy with no low t or anything. You REALLY should do your privatemd.com bloodwork, bodybuilder panel before you start. It will haunt me forever that I will never know what my baseline was. I’m inclined to think it was fairly healthy and I should have cycled instead of the years of overdose trt. That was a mistake that I have to live with now. But if you are already aged, already lower t, you could do trt with a fairly clear conscious

You still need an ai at this dose and you're 130lbs start with 250mgs test.
bro i like test super high with tren. why not you only live once. use geneza pharma
domestic supply has excellent testosterone options. i suggest beligas and pharmaqo
1 gram of tren and a half a cow
a week
I like test only cycles. Have ai on hand and only use it if you have gyno issues. No need for ai until you have estrogen issues
300T is good for a first cycle
bro now you talkin!1 gram of tren and a half a cow
