First cycle questions

Need some advice please. First time planning a cycle. Want to do a 6-8 week cycle of Winstrol because from what I've read it will aid both strength and lean muscle mass.

Plan is Winstrol (oral) 40mg ED only for 6-8 weeks.

I want to start conservative and learn thru the process, so not really interested in stacking right now.

Do I need to start taking Milk Thistle in advance or as I start the cycle?

What time of day should I take the Winstrol? Morning? Before training? Split in 2 * 20mg?

Does it generally cause acne?

Please also feel free to comment on PCT.

i doubt you will be happy from the small amount of lean muscle you will pick up from a winstrol only cycle. Not to mention your joints will kill you.

The only noticeable difference you will see is an increase in strength.

Better to use test as a base for any cycle.

ALWAYS have test as a base to any cycle...

Winstrol is a DHT derivative, are you aware of the associated side effects?

It is an awesome compound! But 4 weeks is where I would be comfortable. It's very Hepotoxic!

I think you need to do a bit more reading before going on cycle bud. There is a vast amount of information available on this forum.
Read the articles section, basics,PCT - all of it...
Then read it again and compare it to research from other sources.
Then post your diet, training, proposed cycle and Pct with as many questions you can think of and we will assist wherever possible.

Thanks for the input. I am worried about Winstrol being very hepotoxic. I know many will probably say Anavar will not give me the size I want, but I think this might be a better approach for first cycle? From the forums it seems very low on side effects and potential issues as well as a good strength improver. Is this so?

Almost all the posts recommend a stack approach based on wanting a certain impact. I'm not doubting the benefit of going stack or gains of a properly planned out cycle, but I would rather go with a very conservative approach and see how my body reacts. So introducing 1 at a time just seems safer.

Why do you recommend always have test as a base to any cycle?

Do you agree it would be better for me to start with Anavar than Winstrol based on my goals (strength, bit of lean mass)?

Wintrol alone would be a waste.

Weeks 1 to 13 test cypionate 500mg a week, 250mg monday and 250mg thursday
Weeks 1 to 5 winstrol 40Ed

Wait 4 weeks after last pin and do pct 2

Do not attempt a Winstrol only cycle
