soon am planing to run 2nd cycle. what i am waiting for is a lot of lean muscles with minimal losses after pct. my first cycle consisted of boldenone+test+methan, after which i've gained 21lbs (lost 11). pct was from nolvadex and clomid. after all i understood the cycle was not the best one and very tough for first time. need advise from people who realy know, what i should better take for second time??? want good quality, no spare on this. plz dont judge

Was that your first steroid cycle ever?

Usually its suggested to run a testosterone only cycle for the first time. Even after that first cycle you can repeat a test only cycle and get great results.

Since testosterone is naturally produced by your body the chances you'll have any adverse reactions to it is low. Also with a test only cycle you can tell when your gains start to slow and make adjustments on your next cycle. At that point you could consider stacking in additional compounds. Using the test base and then stacking in compounds will allow you to see how your body reacts to the new compounds as well. If you simply jump into multiple compounds you won't really know which compound is causing the most benefits or side effects.

You may want to consider going back to a test only cycle see how you do and then from there make adjustments.

and if the gains are lower than first time using test, can i take enders like anavar? or i should end this cycle like it is, and only at the 3rd one add starters?

You can repeat the same testosterone only cycle many times and get great results. If you get to the point where your not seeing the gains you want, instead of adding in another androgen you could always just slightly increase the test dosage and see if that helps.

Ultimately its up to you if you want to use multiple androgens, but my suggestion is just to start with a clean test only base and ride that as long as possible before stacking.

Keep in mind you don't necessarily have to continually increase the androgen dosage or throw in multiple compounds with each subsequent cycle. Your nutrition, training, and PCT play a huge part in your results. Making adjustments to those factors might give you better results than just throwing in more gear.

Just take a good amount of time off cycle to make sure your fully recovered before jumping into another cycle.

here is what i am gonna have. clean test, no combinations, 500mg/w, and based on your advise i will increase it in case if after 6 weeks i will not see any gains.
btw what is the maximum you advise to use per week? 250mg eod will be ok?

I think 500mg a week sounds like a good target. Its a very common first test only cycle and builds a good base for future cycles.

250mg EOD would put you at 1000mg on some weeks assuming you inject four times per week. So it really just depends on how high you want to go. If you decide to go higher than 500mg I wouldn't necessarily jump right into 1000mg, probably better to make a smaller adjustment.

The whole point is to get yourself dialed in so you know where your sweet spot is. Your results may be just as good on a smaller bump than a larger one, so why waste the money and increase the possible side effects. You may also find that your doing just fine at 500mg of testosterone a week and there is no need to increase the dosage.

Learning where your sweet spot is will help you in the future as well.

Don't take steroids it's not worth it trust me
