Strong first cycle. You seem well educated and ready to go. I see you prefer to frontload. I am thinking of doing it on my winter bulk this year.
Good Luck

Finaly someone who proposes a perfect first cycle.

[Second2None]

good cycle bro, keep us posted

[lightwaytbaby]

some may not suggest front-loading considering this being your first cycle, make sure you get blood work done. should get good results...

[PlasticFuture112]

looks good to me, just drop the front-load imo. not needed for a first cycle, your body will react to it quite well on simply 500mg/week. other than that good luck with it.

[hugovsilva]

I like the cycle.

PCT is OK, but i would drop the clomid and add HCG. Aromasin might work better with nolva than L-dex.

[SilverToungedDevil]

agreed with above

[bigjamie]

Looks like you have done some home work nice to see. Good luck with your cycle

That sounds reasonable enough. If no one can convince me otherwise from what you stated, I just go with 500mg.

It's definitely a beginners cycle...but then I'm a beginner in that sense. Happy to hear everyone agrees with it. As far as the PCT, it's on the way as we speak, so I'm just going to take my chances with what I've already ordered.

Any links that discuss the positive effects of armoasin and nolva used together?

[gymrat1969]

very good cycle -
IMO PCT
Nolva 40/40/20/20
Clomid 150/100/50/50

dude nice to see your not an idiot....i def woulda told you LOL

anywho...if you were wanting a kick to start you might try 4 weeks prop instead of that front load...and youll probably get more out of it too
75mged would probably work well for ya

people say 1 compound for 1st cycles however i am totally willing to suggest more than one to people that can demonstrate a bit of knowledge and understanding

Don't have access to the prop. I DID, but all my cash is sunk in the enth now.

Any suggestions for a 2nd compound? I'm going to be overseas next month for 2 weeks, and I'm going to have access to A LOT. I was thinking winny, but it seems that 2 weeks would be too short. This is an opportunity to use some rare, hard to find stuff, so I'm open to any ideas.

in order to maximize gains, i would up the cals to 4-5k/ed. its tough especially if you're doing low/med carbs but consider upping the carbs for your cycle and keep cardio going throughout to keep the fat down.

i think i will follow this for my 1st cycle doing some research... thanks

[gymrat1969]

Front loading test e is a good idea

You have a tight first cycle there good luck bro

[tbjake34]

Good first cycle. I ran this same cycle my first time and gained 30lbs kept about 20lbs. Good luck!

Great opinion. I'm not counting my cals, but I'm eating a lot, eating pretty clean, lots of protein, and cycling my carbs (high and low carb days).

Instead of frontloading 1000mg the first week like I originally planed to, I decided only to frontload 800mg. I also chose an injection schedule of 250mg, every 3.5 days, in order to maintain a more consistant blood plasma level of test.

I think the test really began to kick in during the 4th week. It's the beginning of the 5th week now, and all I can say is DAMN! Strength is through the roof, and I'm up to 189 lbs from 175 lbs.

Earlier today I started getting an obvious nipple sensitivity. All I have on hand at the moment is Proviron, so I tooke 100mg of that. Hopefully that will be enough to subside any gyno.

I'll post some pics at the end of my cycle.

[Amuuzeng]

Yer first cycle is close to mine, and your stats are close too. I'm running Cyp for 14 weeks. I'll be interested to see your results vs mine. Although, yer about 10 years younger.

Since this is your first cycle, do you think you'll need that much PCT? I'm running a similar PCT, but may tweak it as the cycle goes along, and may just do L-dex all the way through and combine with HCG/vit E and a bit of Tamox for PCT. (My cycle is posted as well)

[solidA]

too much pct

just do nlova only 20 mg for 2 weeks
and then 20 mg nolva and 100 mg clomid for the next 3 weeks

[J-41-sd]

Be very careful with the clomid, first time I used it I got severely depressed and I won't so much as look at it anymore I noticed that once I stopped taking it my mood and pct went much more smoothly. Don't be afraid to leave it out. Proviron should kill the gyno flare up in 36-48 hours if your anything like me I took 50mg a day for 2 days and bam! gone. Also very under-rated as a pct compound, that stuff is like gold. Solid cycle good luck.
