What can I expect?

[Considering]

I have been working out seriously for 16 years. I am about to turn 30. I am 5’8, between 190 and 195 lbs depending on the time of year. Last time I had my bf checked at the gym, it was 5%. I eat mostly protein and fat with plenty of leafy greens and some fruit, as I have found that on a super-low-carb diet I feel stronger and more energetic, and I’m much leaner. I lost 15 pounds 2 years ago and have basically kept it off since I went practically no-carb.
I think I have reached my natural potential, and, for a few months now, I’ve been (lurking) considering my first cycle. I was wondering what kind of results I could expect from a Test E only cycle (12 weeks @5-600mg a week) with Toremifene for pct, in terms of increased strength and size? I can bench 365 lbs for 5 to 6 reps on most days I do chest. Also, I do an hour of intense cardio 5 days a week, and I was wondering what effect this cycle would have on my cardio? Any related advice is also appreciated.

well, if you've been lurking, you'll know that no one can tell you what *your* gains will be.

you're saying your maintain 5%bf year round? hm.

effect of cycle of test on cardio?....well, what type of cardio is it?

[johnnybigguns]

Your gunna need a better PCT then that.
No one can say what you will get out of it forsure.
Depends on the training and diet and just the person in general.

I am looking to get some kind of “gauge” from someone who may have been in a similar situation or knows someone who has been were I am now. I have been working out hard for a long time and have not been seeing the gains I saw in my teens through my mid 20’s.
As far as the bf goes- I diet strictly year round. Elliptical machine very high intensity.

What kinda gains are you expecting bro? You sound like your allready on top of your game, especially with your bf%. If your diet and training regime is in check bro, I don't see any reason why you couldn't put on 10-15lbs. I would consider going with Nolvadex for your pct. Wait two week after your last injection of Test E and run it at 20/20/10/10. Peace

4 plates could happen bro. Stamina on cardio is based on cardio! Peace

It is possible to get 20lbs but it just depends on the person
Check out the PCT section.

I’ve seen that this forum is big on the Nolva/Clomid PCT, but other forums love Toremifene.

What's wrong with Nolvadex for PCT with a basic 12 week Test E cycle bro? Peace

Nothing wrong but I’ve read and that Toremifene is stronger yet less toxic.

My man, if you are walking around at 5'8, 195 and 5% you are a lot bigger and leaner than the flexing fool in my avi. Not doubting you but....well ok I am doubting you. Not that you cant attain that just find it hard to believe that's your everyday look.

[Considering]

Any other advice on how to alter diet (calorie intake and type etc) and workouts (how often, intensity, duration..) on cycle would be greatly appreciated.

I would doubt myself. Most of the serious guys at my gym think I’m on gear. If and when I run my first cycle I will post pics and keep a detailed log.

[FireGuy]

Would have to see the details of your current diet to recommend any changes. You should post a pic as well.

Because the nolva is underdosed.

I didn't even know Nolva came in 10mg

For a 12 week test-e cycle you can get away with nolva at 40/20/20/20.

But personally I would do Nolva 20/20/20/20 and Clomid 100/50/50/50

ditto.

let's see that pic.

Yeah bro, if you come in rockin numbers like you state you gotta be able to back it up with pics.

That's why you split the Nolva in half. Why would you run 2 Serms together at the same time when Nolvadex by itself works great? Peace

I'd like to see a picture of 5'8 195 @ 5%.

[HOLLYWOOD.JACK]

Nolvadex /Tamoxifen comes in 10mg and 20mg

[lovbyts]

I would not be so quick to call him a troll, it's not that hard to get good size natural with a good diet but 5% body fat is LOW for anything but competition shows.

Yeah bro, if you come in rockin numbers like you state you gotta be able to back it up with pics.

I'm trying to upload a pic, but I get an error message.

You are in decent shape and please dont take this as a flame but you are nowhere close to 5% body fat bro. Kudos for having the stones to post the pic.

I was not the one who did the measuring. I had it done by 2 different trainers at the gym one month apart. I am here for advice- What would you say the bf is?

I'm just saying/repeating this to get your opinion on bf and if I am ready to cycle considering diet and training experience.

[Considering]

I was hoping to find out what I could expect to get out of my first cycle. I tried to post as complete of a picture as I could, stats, years training, max lift, diet etc, to get feedback on anything you guys think I should alter, before, on and after my proposed first cycle.

8-9% hard to tell from just one pic

[Noles12]

yeah hard to tell from one but anywhere from 9 to 11%. Post a few more including legs.

Will do, but I was hoping to get more feedback in general also, not just a discussion of my bf- although I know bf is a component.

Hope this helps: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=349bgy0&s=5
More feedback please regarding everything else.

[lovbyts]

I was going to guess roughly 10%, maybe 9% but that is very good, you really dont want to be less unless you are doing competition. Looks good and your ready.
