2nd cycle question

28yo
6'2"
225 lbs
13-15%bf
3 years training
1 cycle test E 500mg/wk 13 weeks,tbol 60mg/day kickstart for 5 weeks

so i got bad acne from the first one,and now it is time to start another. i was wondering that since the acne is from test obviously that if i should run it at a bit lower dose and inrtroduce something like deca at 3-400mg/wk.? will this keep the acne at bay because of a lower test level or will it be pointless?

I will be running an AI this time to see if that helps control the acne as it is probably related to estrogen as swifto has pointed out in one of his threads(cant find it right now)

i want to do the deca no matter what but just kinda want to know if i should keep the test at 500mg,or bring it down to say 375 wk and have about the same in deca to help the acne? thanks guys

You can taper the test to 400mg if you wish or you can utilize other options to treat your acne.

Benzoyl peroxide cream
Tanning
Swimming/salt water
Dermalogica medi bac

Deca dose looks fine.

PCT?

well i went to a dermatologist and they gave me differin cream(adapalene) and clindoxyl(clindamycin 1%/benzoyl peroxide 5%) as well as an antibiotic. seems to be working slowly but who knows what will happen when i go back on test....they say i may be able to get accutane but will want monthly blood work.

anyway the pct thing....last time i rans 500iu of hcg though out the cycle and ran swiftos pct of nolva for 20mg/day for 6 weeks and and clomid for 50mg/day for a week and then 35mg/day for three weeks.

seemed to recover fine. lost like maybe five pounds and ive been off for 3 months now. gonna get blood work this week

anyway this time i am toying with the idea of ronnies sling shot system. so my pct may be different as i doubt i will run the hcg though out 20 weeks. maybe but we will see,may just run large doses at the end like he suggests.

Test the waters at a lower dose and assess accordingly from there. Accutane is harsh which is why I don't usually recommend it.

thanks hp. i know the accutane is harsh so IF i am prescribed it i will stay away from orals in my cycle. im hoping the lower test dose and an AI with the creams i have will do the trick.

also whatever im prescribed i will stay under 40mg/day. do more like 20mg/day and dont tell the doc
