Need advice on which cycle would be best!

[ftw817]

First off, I am a newbie, but I've really tried to take all of you guys advice and not ask too many questions before doing a lot of research and I've learned a lot. I am about to start my first cycle and have come across two that seemed fairly similar, but was wondering if you guys could help me decide which one is best and if there is anything you would do differently, and any additional advice you may have for me......thanks a lot! I also was wondering about acne, is that more than likely going to be a problem? And do you recomend HCG ? Thanks again for all your help.......

I'm 40, 6'2", 180#, about 16% bf

These are virtually the same cycle with the ancillaries being the only variable...

personally, I would do for option 1 ... you run fewer risks of unwanted sides on cycle and your PCT looks solid (although from day 15-30 of pct you CAN drop your clomid to 50mg..but thats your call depending on how you feel)..

As for acne - It depends on person to person...for me personally, acne always pops up during pct because of all the hormonal circus going on
You should be fine..just make sure to switch to antibacterial soap and scrub away...it's not acne on your face that will be a problem, its the "bacne" ...acne on your back

As for HCG , it would seem you may get away without using it..yours is a moderate cycle and nothing too harsh as to warrant a significant shutdown of your testes...HOWEVER, if you can get your hands on hcg...then it doesnt hurt to have it in your regimen to be safe...plus. hcg is not expensive anyways

cheers

I'd go with cycle 1, although both are nice looking cycles.
