First cycle advice and thoughts....

[Tim007]

Hi Guys,

After much contemplation, I have decided to enter "the dark side" and run my first ever steriod cycle!

As an overview, I'm basically planning on running Test E at 500mg per week for 10 weeks, using the common injection days of Monday and Thursday (250mg each day). My goals are to put on 25lbs (the majority as muscle) and increase strength on all lifts.

----------------------

My Stats are as follows;

Age: 26
Height: 6ft 2
Weight: 205lbs
BF%: 12
Cycle Exp: No previous cycles
Prohormone Exp: 2 previous 4 week cycles using iForce Nutritions Dymethazine - gains of 12/15lbs, respectively. Nolva used for PCT at 40/40/20/10
PCT Knowledge: Enough to know what products to use, based upon forum searches, but any additional help would be much appreciated!
Training Exp: 5 years

----------------------

In regards to the cycle itself, I have planned it as such;

Weeks 1-10 : Test E at 500mg per week
Weeks 1-10 : Nolvadex 20mg ED (I have a very small case of Gynecomastia, which I don't want to make any worse, hence why I figured it would be best to run Nolva throughout)

Additional Daily Supplements;

Finasteride at 5mg ED
Flax Seel Oil
AI Cycle Support
Taurine
Potassium
Vitamin C - 2g per day

----------------------

PCT will start 1 week after my last injection (is this correct?), and will look like this;

Clomid - 100/100/50/50
Nolvadex - 40/40/20/20/10/10
Aromasin - 20/20/20/20

----------------------

An overview of my diet - this will be my starting amounts, and will change weekly dependant upon results gained;

Calories - 4300 per day
Protein - 400g
Carbs - 450g
Fats - 100g

The main bulking foods will be used - lots of lean meats, oats, peanut butter, whey protein e.t.c.

---------------------

In regards to training, I have had good success training each bodypart twice weekly on a 6 day split i.e Upper, Lower, Back then repeat, with Sunday off. I figured with the extra oomph from the gear, this would be a good option.

---------------------

I think thats everything. As mentioned any help or tips for a newbie would be great.

The above is basically the "barebones" - lots of fleshing out will be done over the next couple of weeks prior to actually getting things rolling

Many thanks
Tim

Pct would start 14 days after your last shot, and imo a standard nolva/clomid pct would be fine.....

[Tim007]

OK great. Thanks 007!

Thanks for the response MaNiCC - 12 weeks may actually tie in better with my goals. Ideally I want to get up to around 230 maybe 235, and try to retain most of this once I've finished PCT.

Looks good mate, a PCT of 40/40/20/20 (Nolva) and 100/50/50/50 (Clomid) would be sufficient though
I stay clear of Clomid personally, makes me emotional as hell so if that happens you can stick to Nolva

Weeks 1-10 : Nolvadex 20mg ED (I have a very small case of Gynecomastia, which I don't want to make any worse, hence why I figured it would be best to run Nolva throughout

shouldnt he save the nolva for pct? Use the aromasin to control sides while on cycle.

[Tim007]

Thanks guys.

way to many shakes. You are going to need real food to get to your goals.
