Ready to start

[ajweb]

Getting ready to start first test cycle...have done fina only cycle before
Plan on 500 per week split between 2 injections for 10 weeks.
Am currently old man at 43. 6'2 220# 10-12%bf, 45c, 17a, 25q, 34w
Gain mass fairly easy...have been up to 260# naturally in younger days with decent bf. Plan on using Clomid and Nolva for PCT. Have arimidex . Getting different opinions on this. Some say use it a week before starting cycle and throughout the cycle..others say wait and see if i need it(assumes they mean if start holding too much water or seeing signs of gyno) so not sure what to do about this...leaning toward running Adex...is there really downside to doing it, even if i don't really need it? Also keep reading about HCG . Is it a must during a cycle? I haven't gotten any(havent really looked).

need to make plans on diet...don't think i will make many changes. i eat 6-8 times a day and stay clean...probably will increase protein intake.
of course all the above is assuming my bloodwork comes back good...wanted to get checked before starting..will have results on monday but not anticipating any issues..
just posting this for my own benefit...any thoughts would be appreciated. freaking excited to see how it goes.

hcg is not a must depends really on whether your balls shrink or not some people get effected some people dont so only time will tell,as for arimidex i would not run it unless i get signs of gyno or bloating i would just wait imo, and lastly i would run the test for 12 weeks instead of 10 again jmo.

just curious, why not use adex just in case instead of waiting? is there a downside to using it even if ur not sure u will need it or not?
also if balls do shrink, do they usually recover during normal pct without the hcg

thanks for the input

using ai during cycle does decrease potential gains
