Is 3rd cycle too quick to add a 2nd compound?

**Knockout_Power** · 01-16-2009, 03:11 PM

I will try to ask this question as straight forward as possible.

I am currently 30 and have been weight training for 9 years. So far I have done 2 Cycles of Test C @ 400/week(e3d) 12 weeks, no Dbol , Tbol, Var etc. kickers.

Each cycle was done in January and then the rest of the year was off cycle.

The first cycle (Jan '07), I hate to admit, did not have the proper PCT/diet attatched to it so even after great size/strength gains, I figure I lost about half of it within 6 months.

The 2nd cycle (Jan '08), I did textbook with proper PCT and by the numbers, I figure I kept 85-90% and I was extremely happy.

...Now, I know I havent given any diet info, routine etc but assuming that diet is in check and PCT is as well, here is my question...

Since Ive only done 2 cycles in 24 months, will I see similar gains on my 3rd cycle of just Test C or should I add a 2nd compound? Im not looking for shear mass, but more so 10-12lb solid gain after PCT.

I will not be starting till I drop another 15lbs so Im down near 13-14% BF and at that point I will post every personal stat and complete diet and PCT for critiquing by you more experienced members before I start.

I was considering adding Eq @ 500/week because it seems a low side effect compound with decent gains.

Any and all comments (good, bad, ugly) would be most appreciated.

Thanx Bro's

go for it. i like eq at 600/week personally but i say its time to add another compound and see how it effects you and your gains. Eq is mild but alos low in sides and adds some great ancillary benefits to your cycle and although eq is mild the gains are quality, well retained ones . Just keep in mind eq is test based ...and although it aromitizes to estrogen at a lower rate than test..it does aromitrize...combined, that and test may require you use something for estrogen management on cycle if you previously did not.

3rd cycle your definately ready to add another compound. I would even up the test to 600mg ew nothing crazy but 200mg ew will make a difference. personally I hate eq, i think its worthless, some will disagree but thats my opinion. If you want something with low sides why dont you try primo. Its more expensive but the gains are better. Personally I would add deca but you will get a few more sides with that but its still pretty mild at low doses imo. IE: 350-400mg ew

^^^ i agree with the deca , itll get you some good size bro, 200mg twice inject weekly

i added one on my first cycle which i kinda wish i did test only first but i would say the 2nd cycle is good to add another compound like dbol or eq or something

i'd add eq or deca . Can't ever go wrong with deca, just keep your pgr down with it and you will be fine and satisfied

**SpiderRico** · 01-16-2009, 06:06 PM

i did eq with my first cycle i loved it

Thanx guys, I really appreciate the advice. I admit I have not done enough research into Deca but I would imagine it requires quite a different regime working it into a cycle. PCT would have to alter as well so I will need to do more reading up on it.

I plan to have the following on hand for this upcoming cycle before...

Nolva
Aromasin
HCG

Should I also pick up letro if going with the Deca?

nolva, aromasin, hcg will work great that is what I use every time after every cycle and is the best pct you could run imo it should work well for you. You probably wont need letro with a low dose of deca being that deca only increases pgr by 20% but you could have it on hand just to be on the safe side.

My 3rd was the first time I stacked so I say go for it! I did test E/Deca and got great results!

May I ask what your LBM was starting that cycle and your daily caloric intake? Did you hold a lot of water during that cycle? What was your Deca Dosage?
