Soooooo
No one actually has a reason then to run a test only cycle as your first cycle? I’d love to hear some opinions. Not to be a dick but I have seen so many people suggest it and I know it’s because it’s regurgitated info. Please someone give me a reason that you should do test only for a first cycle. I won’t say you are wrong just would love to have a debate
Sorry I'm late.
You already answered the question in one of the earlier posts though. There are probably lots of minor reasons that could be argued but they all lead back to fitting under the umbrella of the main one.
Test is one of the naturally occurring "PED's" and as such lends itself to be well and simply used for various enhancements. We know a fair bit about it so it feels safe, we can tell ourselves we are just bumping up the levels of something natural. Being naturally produced takes away one variable from the equation compared to something foreign to the system. It's the simplest AAS to apply as a therapy. etc etc All of these could be easily argued for and against by someone with a decent grasp on the subject matter so I won't hang my hat on that part.
I recommend it because of the simplicity and familiarity factors. It's the King of Male Hormones most other AAS are derived from it and have side effects that are harder to follow, measure and understand. None of that matters if you happen to be one of those lucky fellas that can just slam whatever compounds without any (apparent) complications. But if you are not that lucky taking a systematic, logical, scientific approach can save a TON of grief.
I could give you a bunch of examples of how we use that approach in all kinds of other situations from cooking to mechanical work, electrical work, bomb making, even sex
, I'm sure you know what I mean though.
So yeah, Test first so you know how you will react to Test. Barring some real bad shit happening inside you it's always gonna be a factor.
Didn't really come to debate though, you said something along the lines of 'I only ever hear one reason - so you know how you react to test'.
I agree, that's basically it and that one reason is a strong enough one for me. I would even agree that holding back on other compounds is likely holding back on physical development in most cases (how much is another topic) but there are advantageous and disadvantages to both ways and as always it's a personal thing.
