So I was out last week when you joined, but I’ll add my $.02.
First, you do NOT want to be on TRT for life at 22. That is NOT a blessing. I fucked myself up not knowing what I was doing when I was 39, and it took me a year’s worth of work with a specialist to restart my HPTA, after which I gave up AAS for over a decade. Now at 55, lifetime TRT is fine, as my natural levels were low. You got 20-30 years to go until lifetime TRT is a reasonable choice IMHO.
Second, do you want to have a family at some point? If you cannot restart you HPTA after a cycle, that will be infinitely more difficult.
Third, I agree that a test-only cycle is the appropriate first cycle, and it sounds like you have decided to do it, which is absolutely your choice and your right, and the members of this board will respect it and help you along the way, even if we disagree. Our emphasis on harm reduction is strong enough to assist even where we disagree with the approach.
Fourth, research PCT and be sure to have it on hand and ready to go and do it right. IMHO, it is best to run HCG ED or EOD at low doses (100-200iu) in order to keep your balls plump and pumping during the entire cycle. That will dramatically increase your odds of a successful PCT.
Fifth, good luck, and good gains.
