    Final Overview of Cycle

    Hey Everyone,

    With my cycle coming up in about two weeks, I just wanted to post my final edit of it and see if there is any last minute input.

    Some things to keep in mind:
    • This is my first cycle (Hence the semi low dose)
    • I am staying away from HCG in this cycle just bc I want test only to see how my body reacts to it (not that I disregard its benefits) just a personal choice


    My Stats:
    • Age: 26
    • Height: 6'1"
    • Weight: 200lbs
    • BF: 12%
    • Cycle History: None
    • Years Training: 4 years of serious training


    Cycle:
    Week 1-12 Testosterone Cypionate @ 400mg / week

    PCT: Week 15-20
    nolva: 20/20/20/20/20/20
    torem: 120/120/60/60/60/60

    I appreciate all the help I have gotten from you guys thus far and am more than open to more input.

    Thanks guys!

    looks good pct might be a little overkill, wait for more input.
    good luck

    I also thought for a simple mild cycle like mine that the PCT was a little much, but I have heard from many members here that the extra two weeks really makes a difference... Does anyone else have any more thoughts on this?

    Cycle looks fine,
    Make sure your diet is in order,
    PCT -sounds like swifto's pct, you will be in safe hands,
    Best of luck

    I'd go with a 4 wks PCT personally but Swifto's states 6 wks is better, seeing thats its his first cycle only way to go is try one method and see how he recovers.

    Thats the hard part about this being my first cycle I dont know how anything is going to react with me personally but I am going to take your previous recommendation of keeping a weekly log of my personal results on the cycle and during PCT to see how i do with the protocol I have layed out.

    As for my diet... It is pretty clean right now but I can assure you that I want to go even more strict and hardcore with the diet once I get on the cycle. I am still going to get the calories and necessary macros in there to build but I am going to do it as clean as possible to stay as lean as possible.

    Good luck. Do you have some liqidex or something on hand in case ur nipples start getting sore? I got some from sponsor our sponsor just in case. And I am glad I did because at just 300mg a week mine got sore. Better to have it and not need it than to have to need it and not have it don't you think?

    dont change the pct, its good.
    when i was still cycling i went with this longer pct recommendation from swifto, works well.

    If you are only experiencing gyno, then you might wanna try nolva at 20mg. If bloat and acne are an issue then the AI is a way to go.
    Why no HCG during cycle?
    PCT is fine, smart to go higher w/ tore. Its 2nd generation, less powerful mg per mg but better other effects.
    I'd hate cyp. but i love prop, so thats a bit of the other end of the spectrum for me

    Good luck1!

    I think it is foolish to not use HCG while cycling...

    I think it should be a must in all cycle... Just my opinion

    For the price you should just run it at 750 IU per week

    hey srobis,

    this was my cycle outline for my current cycle that I think the gear is bunk or severely underdosed. Appreciate the support, but I am probably going to just run PCT to be on the safe side and start my "official" first cycle later in the year.

    thanks
    -j

    Oh dang dude. Didnt realize this post was pre cycle. I was thinking you were getting ready to start a new one. Oh well, most of us have had a bunk cycle here and there. You will get it next time bro.
