Hello Everyone, new to the boards...

[H2ofowler]

I have browsed here for a while now and finally decided to join. I have been working out for almost 15 years now. I ran my first cycle for 10 weeks this spring, ending the middle of may. I ran 200/mg of test E. I had good results. I am planning on running my second cycle the begining of september. So here goes my first question....Should I run test e again or sustanon 250? If test, would I bump up the dosage or leave it the same at 200 mg/wk?? and finally, I AM estrogen sensitive and already have nolvadex , so would I run the nolva during the cycle and then into pct? or only run it during the cycle if sides pop up?

I am 29 (30 in oct), 200 lbs, 6'1", my diet is in check besides the occasional cheat since its summer time. However while on, diet is perfect. chicken, egg whites, oats, swt taters etc...

Thanks in advance guys......I look forward to learning!!

What are your goals?
BF%?
200mg/week ?

I would look at something like test e @ 400mgs ew and check l-dex out for estrogen issues..

[H2ofowler]

My goals are to gain size and strength, I always eat clean, I will just keep my cardio to a min.

So if I run the test at 400 mg/wk does that mean my next cycles will have to be bigger and bigger etc??

I will check out the l-dex...is this something I run during my cycle no matter what since I know im estrogen sens??

Thanks for the info already guys!!

[Matt]

I only run L-dex (armidex) if i see signs of ERS...

However if your concerned then .25mgs eod or .5mgs every third day should be fine..

No i ran a number of test e cycles at 500mgs at gained on each one so you can continue to gain on 400mgs if your training and diet are good...

Btw what is your body fat%??

Cycle size is going to be based on goals and what is most effective for you, but, since this will be only your second cycle, take it easy for now.

Letro if you develop gyno, adex (l-dex) to prevent it (estrogen issues). If you run adex during cycle, I dont recommend letro after, it can drop your estrogen levels too low.

Im sorry, i dont know for sure, but Id say my bf% is around 15-18% right now. Gonna drop that a few by sept. 1.

Thanks guys this is great info!!! I really appreciate it!

One more thing...will arimidex or letro hinder my gains if I take them during my cycle??

Its a possibility. They both lower estrogen, but you need estrogen for muscle growth.

If you decide to run one, start with adex, run it around .25mg EOD (as 007 stated).

And def make sure you drop that BF before starting.

Yep, high bf will increase the chance of estrogen related sides...

[H2ofowler]

Shouldnt be a big problem....ideally what would you like to see my bf % at before I start?

[Matt]

Between 10 and 15%....
