T-400 cycle

[JDP8]

Hey guys, I need some opinions on my cycle...I've got two possible options in mind but am not sure what would be best, any help would be appreciated.

Option 1
3/4cc EOD for 8 weeks

Option 2
3/4cc twice a week for 13 weeks

[Phate]

t-400 is enth right? so running it for 8 weeks would be pointless since it doesn't kick in for 4-5 weeks

stats?
age
weight
height
bf%
cycle exp. probably first right?
training exp.
pct?

[JDP8]

21, 170lbs, 10%, first cycle, lifting three years, 2 nolva throughout cycle, and clomid 2 weeks afterlast injection.

i don't like the pct, anyway, here is an all-in-one beginner cycle post i wrote back a while ago, it should get you started, though i seriously think you need to look at your diet first

DIET HELP

here is the diet that i'm on right now, it's a good base to go off of, listed below are things to help you create your own diet off it

1) One thing that will help you drastically is called carb tapering, if you notice the bulk of my carbs are in the morning and after my workout, i don't eat hardly any close to when i go to sleep

2) Another thing is that eat meal is either protein/carb or protein/fat and the fats are good fats(EFA=Essential fatty acids) from flax oil or fish oil. Try not to eat fat with carbs as the fat will become, well, fat since your body is made to be energy efficient, by putting carbs, which are easier to break down for energy, in the same meal as fats your body stores the fat for later and uses the carbs for energy, not what you want.

3) try to eat every 2-3 hours, this is the amount of time it takes for your body to digest a meal and by giving it a constant stream of food you will ensure that your metabolism is kept high, also, calories are not the same, protein has the highest thermodynamic effect, which means that it takes more calories to digest protein than carbs or fat, this also increases your metabolism

4) You should try to get at least 50-60g of protein in every meal, this is about the max your body can take at one time

5) here are some tricks for making eating so often easier, i know it's hard, i go to school 8 hours a day and i'm not allowed to bring food into class so i have to work around that
a) Make a weeks worth of food on your day off, go buy a ton of chicken, lean turkey and very lean beef and grill it, then put it in ziplock bags and label with the amount of calories and protein per bag, YOU WILL NEED TO BUY A CHEAP SCALE FOR THIS, YOU CAN GET THEM AT GNC, MAKE SURE YOU GET ONE THAT WEIGHS IN GRAMS.
b) save grocery sacks or get a lunch box and put a full three meals or so in there, lots of chicken, jerky, tuna, those are gonna be the staples of your diet

6) Don't drink more than two protein shakes a day, there are liquid and don't have the thermic effect normal food does, normal food should make up 95% of your diet, though a shake after workout or in a pinch is perfectly fine

that should get you started, i'm sure you'll still have questions so just keep posting and i'll help you however i can, i'll be in austin though for the next couple days for a state competition, though i'll try to get on at the hotel if you post and answer when i can, here's the diet i'm on to model after

TEST BEGINNER CYCLE INFO

here, i'll lay out some stuff for you,
first thing, you need to get your diet in check, here is some threads on cutting, lean bulking and pure bulking to give you some info, but you need to post your diet for critiqueing, your wasting your money otherwise

Diet

UNoffical "How to Bulk" thread and sample diet...
UNoffical "How to Cut" thread and sample diet...
Appetite For Construction
http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/calories/calories.html

only when you have your diet down should you think about cycling, a beginner cycle should look like this

1-12 test e 500mg/week
1-4 dbol 40mg/day ( this is used to kickstart the cycle and is optional)

take your test injections 3.5 days apart, like monday morning and thursday evening

split your dbol up throughout the day, this will keep your blood levels stable, which means less sides and more gains

if you take the dbol, supplement with liv52 to help you liver cope with breaking down the dbol

btw, here are the profiles on the AS you will be using so read them and get to know the stuff your putting in your body

Test Enth
Anabolic Review Steroid Profile: Testosterone Enanthate

Dianabol
Anabolic Review Steroid Profile: Dianabol (Methandrostenolone)

Next is your pct, which should begin two weeks after your last test injection and should be a phneedo's pct, whats that you ask? here it is

Pheendo's PCT
Pheedno's PCT

while your at it read this one as well for future cycles

Now for some other important stuff, you need to have some arimidex on hand in case you start getting water retention or gyno, so get some, in fact, read this thread 3x before you start your cycle as it will tell you....

All You Need To Know About Gyno

All you need to know about GYNO.

that should get you read for your cycle, best of luck

Great post Phate, that helps a lot...if anyone has any other suggestions or something to add feel free.

Phate nailed it as usual.

Good luck and BE CAREFUL

Remember DIET DIET DIET!

[kingwilliam]

The t-400 I took was enanthate and Cyp blended.......you would get 400mg of test per mL

So if you took 4cc per week you would be taking in 1600mg of test... is that not slightly high???

[one8nine]

1) what is in your test exactly
2) nolva on cycle will greatly hinder gains
3) clomid alone is a terrible pct

[JDP8]

150 mg cypionate
150mg enanthate
100mg decanoate

What would you suggest for pct? Don't run my nolva while on cycle?

[Phate]

150 mg cypionate
150mg enanthate
150mg decanoate

What would you suggest for pct? Don't run my nolva while on cycle?

k, those are longer esters, so you should inject every 3.5 days and the cycle should be run at least 10 weeks though 12-14 would be better

Phneedo's PCT should work, it's a sticky in the PCT section, go read it it's a good article

and running nolva throughout the cycle isn't necessary, though i would have arimidex in case you start to have water retention, in that case run the arimidex at .25mgeod or ed

Thanks Phate, the help is greatly appreciated.
