this is literally decades ago but...
these were my early forays into this stuff around 20 years of age and up took a good 8 weeks between anything and everything. there wasn't this blast and cruise concept back then, and it's probably why everyone made it into their 50s and well beyond. If I hadn't read about deca dick and tren dick and the like decades later I never would have known it's a thing. I have had mates with erectile dysfunction as early as their 30s fwiw, but honestly, that's more due to their stimulant usage lon term than anything else. bear in mind too I've only really ever been interested in strength.
first thing ever was andriol tablets. Fucking useless
dianabol tabs - 3 x 5mg per day got some gains from it too quite liked it.
first ever injectible was what you guys call winstrol. was a 50mg per/ml water based suspension called stanazol (aus vet). didn't really get any strength/size gains, but I swear I could run noticeably faster while on. was using 3-4ml per week. those shots were more painful (glutes only unless you are a masochist) than prop
next was nandrolone laurate. A rarer compound but it showed up here in ampoules went from 100-300mg per week then tapered back down to 100 the final week over 8 weeks. great size and strength increases, but also very tiny amount of gyno. not visible but could feel itcarrying heavy things (boxes the size of coffins) at the job I was working).
and finally test cyp - 200g per week - jesus christ, hammer here is your fucking nail have at it. Never really strayed from whatever test ester after that.we were getting veterinary bladders - 200 and 500ml at either 75mg/ml or 100mg/ml strength depending on if it was cyp/enanthate at 75 and prop at 100. Doesn't sound like much but a couple of hundred mg per week was magical and a years supply was cheap as. never has any probs with abcesses and shite like people do now.
I did try stacking a little - boldenone (equipoise as you guys call it) works well with test, keeping both in reasonably modest amounts. got some anapolon (anadrol) here and there and loved it, had deca here and there.
A lot of aus vet gear at the time had methandriol dipropionate in it (around 40mg added to whatever the main ingredient was) can't say I ever noticed anything from that over and above the base compound.
