1st cycle(test-e only) questions.

My stats: 80kg,9%bf,24 year-old male,I've been lifting for almost 5 years now.

After researching for a while(especially on this forum),I'm considering this cycle:

week 1-10 Test-E 500mg (2*250mg shots,Mon morning|Thurs evening)
week 1-12 Nolva 10mg ED
week 1-12 L-dex 0.5mg ED
?week 1-12 Proscar 5mg ED

PCT,starting ~2weeks(12 days) after the last test shot:
Day 1-30 20mg nolva
Day 1 300mg clomid
Day 2-14 100mg clomid
Day 14-28 50mg clomid

?HCG
mid-week10-3000 IU
+5days-3000 IU
+5days-1500 IU
+6days-1500 IU

And here are my questions:
1.I'm trying to reduce as much as possible the water retention(especially due to close to borderline BP).Is the l-dex dosage right for this purpose?Should I prolongate its use into the PCT?
2.Will the Proscar be pointless,since I haven't been using it in the months prior to the cycle?If not,would 2.5mg be almost equally effective,as there are no hair-loss antecedents in my family?
3.I know that HCG probably won't be necesarry,but would it considerably speed up my recovery?
4.Anything else wrong with my cycle? :scratch:

Thank you.

Looks like plenty of L-dex to me, I would drop the nolva and just run the l-dex at .5mg ed, you should be fine. THe HCG will bring you back online faster, but IMO your doses are screwed up, starting the week after last inject and running 2 weeks up to PCT you should shoot 250IU ed or 500IU EOD.

About the HCG,by "+5days" I meant "5 days after the previous shot".I was thinking of a larger,every 5(6)th day,intramuscular dosage rather than a smaller,ED,subQ one,after reading HCG's Chemical Muscle Enhancement profile.

Running the HCG 500ius/ED 10 days before your last testosterone administration is also an idea. I would keep the HCG for a future cycle as your cycle is not over 15 weeks. Not needed IMHO.

I'd also keep the Nolva on hand and use it if symptoms arise.

Well done with your research, it shows.
