My proposed cycle:
Weeks 1-4: DBOL (30mg/day)
Weeks 1-13: Test E (250mg/week)
Weeks 3-11: Tren Ace (400mg M/W/F)
Weeks 9-13: Anavar (60mg ED)
Weeks 1-13: Aromasin (12.5mg/day)
Weeks 16-19: Nolvadex (40/40/20/20)
I am, as many of you are, a big fan of tren ace. This time I decided to run test e lower than my tren, as I have read all about the advantages of this dosing protocol via the abundance of forums available ;)
I have never run an AI with a cycle before and never had any issues with gyno, but in the proposed cycle I am including dbol as a kick start so I though in addition to keeping my estrogen at bay, the aromasin should help contain the water weight for more "dry" gains.
I was 10% bf but this has creeped up (controlled bulk). However, I still believe I am at a more than reasonable level of bf for this cycle.
As many of you will see from the information I have provided above, I am (and will be) in a modest calorie surplus of 310 for the duration of the cycle. Now, I decided to add Var at the end of this particular cycle because I believe it should aid with fat loss to some degree.. I know this is a never ending debate and I am quite aware that it is near impossible to lose a decent amount of bf while in a calorie surplus.
Nonetheless, in addition to some feedback for the proposed cycle overall, I would love to hear some opinions of the potential for fat loss in the proposed cycle, given a modest calorie surplus and my stats.
I am by no means a rookie to lifting or cycling but know how important feedback can be when planning.
If anyone would like a photo I am more than happy to provide.
Cheers guys!
