So you get a lot of people on here talking about how it’s a “harsh” compound, etc, etc.
Well, none other than Bill Roberts himself says he consistently recommended tren ace for a first cycle to his clients, and the only time he didn’t recommend it is if they didn’t have access to it.
He’s referring specifically to tren ace use in the context of his 2-on/2-off cycles, which a) require the use of esterless and short-estered compounds and b) minimize potential sides.
That’s not to say that you couldn’t run 8 weeks of TA (with test of course) for your first cycle and get great results, but the potential for sides is probably greater than the potential for sides with test only or test + oral.
