Why Is Test the Base for Cycles?

i am 21 years old , i considered doing oral alone (anavar) cycle few months back but i did not take it because almost all of the sites say it is foolish to do oral only cyle without a test base

can i please get an explanation why test is a must

may be when i start using steroids when i become 24 , i dont want to gain any water weight , fat mass , i just want to put on pure lean mass , still should i take test

anyway i am not going to do steroids for next 2 years for sure , but still i would like to know why test should be the base for all cycles

which is better - etathanate ,cypronate or propinate ? i would like to maintain my gains even after PCT , which means i want less bloating , i guess test alone is powerful ! why should i use orals like anavar , winstrol ? i refuse to use something like dbol which puts on water and high liver toxic

At this point, that logic is kinda outdated.

For example, Bill Roberts has reported good feedback on short tren + dbol/drol cycles and, as you mentioned, some people have particular goals for which test simply isn’t a great fit.

All that said, test-only is still an excellent first-cycle and for all the usual reasons: plenty androgenic AND anabolic, HPTA recovery, and the fact that most are ALREADY familiar with the psychological effects of high test (ie. being 16-18yrs old). Other reasons as well, but that’s all I got for now.

edit - check the archives here, read everything Bill Roberts has written on other sites as well and you’ll be well-informed and prepared to make sound decisions down the road

My opinion is because most (all?) AAS is suppressive to your natural production of testosterone and it is better to at least maintain the status quo that your body has intended…there is a reason Test is the master male hormone–dont overlook that
