And so, my first course consisted, like many others, of just one drug - methandienone, at a dosage of 20 to 40 mg throughout the course. If I was not mistaken with the dosage, then with the selection of drugs - it didn’t work out very well. Firstly, every new reader wants to take the first course of steroids without injections, limiting himself to oral drugs. Well, I was one of them too. But it's definitely not worth it.

I know that it is useless to persuade you to do injections in the first year (although you will soon come to this anyway). But there is one rule that must not be broken - you can NOT do a course without testosterone! Testosterone is an important hormone in the male body and it needs to circulate in your bloodstream because it has many effects related to your mood (regulates the level of neurotransmitters in the brain) - increasing libido and motivation. I don't think you want to lose all that in your freshman year. After all, any steroid that gets into your blood soon completely inhibits the production of your own testosterone. It turns out that on such a course you are left without the main male hormone. Steroids, although similar in their chemical formula to testosterone, do not have all of its functions.

And so, the minimum solution that will help you with this without using testosterone injections is the use of gonadotropin. This hormone will force the body to produce your own testosterone throughout the course. Also, this drug will not allow your testicles to dry out, which will speed up the recovery of testosterone levels after the cycle.

Yes, gonadotropin is an injectable, but trust me, subcutaneous injections are like mosquito bites. You make them special little thin angles into the belly fat. Even children are not afraid of such injections. You can look at youtube what it is and you will understand that such injections will suit even the most cautious user.

So, if you are afraid to do your first cycle using oil injections, then gonadotropin is the perfect choice for you. I would recommend injecting every 5-7 days, 2000 iu per injection (1 vial).

And so, what drug will be the basis for your course, if you are not yet ready to do intramuscular injections. You should definitely not use drugs such as oxymetholone or halotestin. Start with those drugs that have the least amount of side effects - namely oxandrolone, oral primabolan or turinabol and possibly stanozolol. Your first cycle should be some kind of demo version of the real course in order to understand how your body reacts to taking anabolic steroids.

I should also say about the duration of your first course. My recommendation is to do a short course of 6 weeks. During this period, you will already be able to understand the effect of the drug and get the first result and then very quickly restore your hormones. You should not expect anything grandiose from this course, but with proper training and nutrition, you can gain 3-4 kg of muscle, and believe me, this is very good.

As far as dosages go, it's important to be consistent and only move to higher dosages if the minimum dosages aren't working properly.

I suggest starting with 20mg per day (oxandrolone, turinabol) or 50mg (methenolone acetate ) for the first few weeks. If you get absolutely nothing, you should increase them to 30 mg and 75 mg, respectively. It makes no sense to consume more if low - the maximum safe doses work. I know quite a few big guys over 110kg who have progressed in size and strength at these dosages, at least in certain periods. For example, my friend with a weight of 103 kg on 20 mg of turinabol per day, could lift 330 kg in deadlift. I consider this a weighty argument in favor of not rushing to increase dosages.

I want to add that beforehand, you should be tested for your testosterone levels and other hormones in order to know what level you should return to after the cycle. But we will talk about analyzes in more detail a little later ...
