Critique my cycle please!

[Christos]

Stats 5'10" 190# somewhere around 15% bf 31 yrs old started at 21 many short cycles 5-6wks also because of access now I have unlimited access and funds. My last cycle was fina 75mg eod 10 wks sust250 every 5days for 10 weeks followed up with hcg and clomid. I had incredible gains with this but now i have lost some.
So my next cycle is and please no flame just construtive critisism.

wk 1-12 QV Eq 200mgs e3d
wk 3-12 Fina/prop mix 100/50 respectively ed
wk 3-7 Thai D-bol 40mgs ed
wk 8-12 Ilium Stanabolic (whinny) 50 mgs e3d
wk 1-12 Nolvadex ed
wk 15-16 hcg 2-2000ius
wk 15-16 clomid 3-2-1 ratio

My goal is to increase strength, harden and lean down. With some cardio the last half of this cycle I believe my goal can be acheived.

Hers's a couple of questions should I get some anavar ? If I could get arimidex cheap should I substute that for clomid. Or is it not worth the extra money. Also my last questions what a some good supplements that I should be taking?

Thanks guys and please no flames!!

I think your cycle is to much, when your last cycle was sus and fina. I would just add eq and deffantly drop the d-bol since your trying to cut or minimize bloat.

You can't use arimidex for clomid, you can use nolva to replace clomid. Arimidex is an anti-e which you may or may not need, after 5 cycle you should know if your prone to gyno or not.

Supplements you could use liver protection, I use it on my cycle and so does most everyone else.

out of curiosity bro,
winny from ilium is a 20ml vial, by running it e3d, you should only finish it in 60 days whereas week 8-12 is only a matter of 35 days... or...?

[n0_Genetics]

...now I have unlimited access and funds. ....

any chance that you might be gay?

dbol may give you the bloat for the weeks you're running it, afterwhich it basically drains out of your body like a tap.

maybe you'ld like to check up on hcg too... theres a post that speaks negatively of it.

as for clomid, i always think that its mandatory during pct.

[Christos]

Sorry nO Genetics I'm not gay!
I know the dbol will bloat me while i'm on it and i'll only be on it for 5 weeks so by the time the fina,eq and whinny kicks in it will be done.
As far as hcg I've seen negative posts but also positve ones, with the lower doses it shouldn't have negative results, I've used it before and my blood work was fine afterwords.

As for the whinny It doesn't matter if I don't use the whole bottle I have plenty.

I have never heard anyone state this before

[The Brain]

I have

[JohnDoe1234]

I have

Never, Nolv is a straight Anti-e whereas clomid restarts test production, it's anti-e characteristics are a secondary and less pronounced effect

[JohnnyB]

Nolva has been shown to do the same as clomid or better. I don't have that studiy any more since my computer crashed.

I am no expert, but the way it is always explained to me, I would put the dbol at the beginning and only go for 4 weeks (Weeks 1-4), if you have to do the winny (with dbol and winny you liver is gonna take a beating) I would start it 3 weeks before your last EQ inject and run it past your last EQ inject. This way you can start pct immediatly. I would also run the nolvadex through pct instead of stopping it. I'm sure I'll get flamed if I gave you anything bad. Peace

I had cut & pasted this from this web site awhile ago,cant remeber who had posted it


While practically similar compounds in structure, few people ever really consider Clomid and Nolva to be similar. Its not just a common myth in steroid circles, but even in the medical community. This misconception originates from their completely different uses. Nolvadex is most commonly used for the treatment of breast cancer in women, while clomid is generally considered a fertility aid. In bodybuilding circles, from day one, clomid has generally been used as post-cycle therapy and Nolvadex as an anti-estrogen.

But as I intend to demonstrate this is in essence the same. I believe the myth to have originated because Nolva is clearly a more powerful anti-estrogen, and the people selling clomid needed another angle to sell the stuff, so it was mostly used as a post-cycle aid. But few users really understand how clomid (and also Nolvadex, logically) works to bring back natural testosterone in the body after the conclusion of a cycle of androgenic anabolic steroids . After a cycle is over, the level of androgens in the body drop drastically. The body compensates with an overproduction of estrogen to keep steroid levels up. Estrogen as well inhibits the production of natural testosterone, and in the period between the return of natural testosterone and the end of a cycle, a lot of mass is lost. So its in everybody's best interest to bring back natural test as soon as humanly possible. Clomid and Nolvadex will reduce the post-cycle estrogen, so that a steroid deficiency is constated and the hypothalamus is stimulated to regenerate natural testosterone production in the body. That's basically how the mechanism works, nothing more, nothing less.

Both compounds are structurally alike, classified as triphenylethylenes. Nolvadex is clearly the stronger component of the two as it can achieve better results in decreasing overall estrogen with 20-40 mg a day, than clomid can in doses of 100-150 mg a day. A noteworthy difference. Triphenylethylenes are very mild estrogens that do not exert a lot, if any activity at the estrogen receptor, but are still highly attracted to it. As such they will occupy the receptor and keep it from binding estrogens. This means they do not actively work to reduce estrogen in the body like Proviron , Viratase or arimidex would (by competing for the aromatase enzyme), but that it blocks the receptor so that any estrogen in the body is basically inert, because it has no receptor to bind to.

This has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that when use is discontinued, the estrogen level is still the same and new problems will develop much sooner. The advantage is that it works much faster and has results sooner than with an aromatase blocker like Proviron or arimidex. Therefor, when problems such as gynocomastia occur during a cycle of steroids one will usually start 20 mg/day of Nolva or 100 mg/day of clomid straight away, in conjunction with some Proviron or arimidex. The proviron or arimidex will actively reduce estrogen while the clomid or Nolvadex will solve your ongoing problem straight away. This way, when use is discontinued there is no immediate rebound.

So which one should you use? Well personally, I'd have to say Nolvadex. Both as an on-cycle anti-estrogen and a post-cycle therapy. As an anti-estrogen its simply much stronger, demonstrated by the fact that better results are obtained with 20-40 mg than with 100-150 mg of clomid. For post-cycle, this plays a key role as well. It deactivates rebound estrogen much faster and more effective. But most importantly, Nolvadex has a direct influence on bringing back natural testosterone, where as clomid may actually have a slight negative influence. The reason being that Tamoxifen (as in Nolvadex) seems to increase the responsiveness of LH (luteinizing hormone) to GnRH (gonadtropin releasing hormone), whereas clomid seems to decrease the responsiveness a bit1.

Another noteworthy fact about Nolvadex is that it acts more potently as an estrogen in the liver. As you remember, I mentioned that clomiphene and tamoxifen are basically weak estrogens. Well, tamoxifen is apparently still quite potent in the liver. This offers us the positive benefits of this hormone in the liver, while avoiding its negative effects elsewhere in the body. As such Nolvadex can have a very positive impact on negative cholesterol levels2 in the body, and therefore too should be considered a better choice than clomid. It will not solve the problem of bad cholesterol levels during Steroid use , but will help to contain the problem to a larger degree.

Another reason why I promote the use of Nolvadex over Clomid post-cycle (as if being 3-4 times stronger and having more of a direct effect on restoring natural test wasn't enough) is because it's a lot safer. Not just because it improves lipid profiles, but also because it simply doesn't have the intrinsic side-effects that Clomid has. Clomid causes more acne for sure, but that's mainly because you need to use a 3-4 times higher dose. But Clomid seems to also affect the eyesight. Long-term clomid therapy causes irreversible changes in eyesight3 in users. Irreversible. For me that alone is reason enough to prefer Nolvadex.

Lastly, one should be aware that use of these compounds can reduce the gains made on steroids. Nolvadex more so than clomid, simply because it is stronger. Estrogen is responsible for a number of anabolic factors such as increasing growth hormone output, upgrading the androgen receptor and improving glucose utilization. This is why aromatizing steroids like testosterone are still best suited for maximum muscle gain. When reducing the estrogen levels, we therefore reduce the potential gains being made. For this reason one may opt to try clomid during a cycle instead of Nolvadex. Although I would imagine that the problem that needed solved would be of more concern, in which case Nolva remains the weapon of choice. It's a plain fact that there is a high correlation between gains and side-effects. Either you go for maximum gains and tolerate the side-effects, or you reduce the side-effects, and with it the gains. That's life, nothing is free.

Stacking and Use:

If problems of Gynocomastia or other estrogen related symptoms tend to pop up during a cycle the use of 20-30 mg of Nolvadex or 100 mg of Clomid daily should easily contain the problem, and be used until a few days after the problem subsides. For best results and the least amount of problems upon cessation it is best stacked with Proviron (50 mg) or arimidex (0.5 mg) for this duration as well. Its not advised that these products be ran concomitantly with the steroid for the entire duration of the stack, as this will reduce your gains. Instead cease the usage of anti-estrogens once the problem is contained, and should the problem resurface, simply recommence the use of the products in the same manner as described above.

Once a cycle of steroids is concluded one should always initiate a post-cycle therapy to help bring back natural testosterone as soon as possible. This will help you to retain the mass you gained. How this is done depends highly on the type of steroid.

Great info!
I plan on using nolva during the cycle then clomid for post.

tuggy: I might just run the whinny later in the cycle, as far as the dbol I'll have to see at the end of wk4. I believe no cycle should be set into stone, there are too many variences and outside inhibitors. I'm not saying don't be strict but adjustsments should be made if necessary.
Thanks for the advise guys.
