Background: I'm 35 yrs, 6'0", 215lbs, male. I've done one cycle before this one and back then it was Winstrol, which I took orally and that was over 6 months ago. This time it's Testosterone Cypionate at a concentration of 200mg/ml and I'm injecting it. I'm doing 1.0 ml twice a week. I have two bottles each containing 10ml. I have some 1" pins for my quads and some 1.5" for my glutes. It's the first time I've injected. I only started this week and have taken two doses so far. I'm not taking anything else (i.e. no other steroids, no anti-E, clomid etc). I use a new needle each time. I've stopped drinking alcohol until I've finished the cycle.
Diet. At the moment, a typical day's eating looks like this:
7am Half a cup of oatmeal with a scoop of protein isolate, fat burner pills, one heaped teaspoon of ground flaxseed, 700ml water
10am protein shake with half a banana, 700 ml water
1pm chicken salad with two chicken breasts, 700 ml water
4pm protein shake with half a banana, 700 ml water
5.30pm pre-workout creatine drink
6pm post-workout shake with frozen berries and glutamine
6.30pm meal with at least 30 grams protein usually grilled chicken with yams or potatos as carbs and lots of veg like spinach, brocolli, carrots, 700ml water
9.30pm 200ml cottage cheese with cinnamon, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 700 ml water, glutamine.
Questions:
1. What should I be doing when I come off? How can I keep the weight on that I've gained? What exactly is a Post-Cycle Therapy?
2. The injection site gets a bit sore, like I've bruised my leg. Is this normal?
3. What sides should I look out for and should I have anything on hand to combat the sides? If yes, what?
4. What happens if you don't aspirate? What are the dangers? How do you aspirate, exactly? What else should I look out for when injecting? Hitting a nerve?
5. Do you think the amount is correct for a newbie? If I did 1.0 ml every three days rather than twice a week, is that too much?
6. What are the syptoms of doing too much?
7. Is it worth getting my liver checked at my level and with the dosages I'm doing?
8. How much weight can I expect to gain after a cycle of 20ml? (General ballpark figure 5lbs, 10lbs, 50lbs)
9. I've got a medical exam coming up for my entry visa into Canada. They'll be testing for HIV (which I don't have). I assume Test cypionate is detectable but do you have to do specific tests in order to find it? In other words, I'm trying to guage what the chances are of being discovered if the medical exam involves a blood test. Do you have to be looking for it in order to find it or will it show up if you're looking for narcotics, HIV? How long is it detectable for?
I'm grateful for any advice.
