This is going to be my second cycle (technically 3rd, but I don't even wanna talk about the first one). First was a Test Cyp only cycle for 12 weeks, 400mgs/week, back in 2010. Gained around 18lbs, kept I think 10lbs after PCT. I'm starting to gradually up my calories now, pretty much did a cut & stayed at maintenance the whole of 2011.

BTW stats:

5'6 1/2
currently @ 170lbs
lifting for somewhat a good 9 years
noob weight @ 115lbs; my heaviest was @ 190lbs

Anyways, I'm looking to do a Test E/Deca cycle this time. I like to keep things simple.

Test E = 500mgs = 12weeks

Deca = 300mgs = 10weeks

I guess my questions will be these:

1. Pretty much the sides I encountered were only "backne", w/c was pretty bad, & bloated as fuark. Since I'm also doing Deca, figured it'll be worse. So I'm gonna be adding Adex. Is .25mg EOD best? Based from what I've read, is there really any difference if you dose it .25mg/eod, or .50mg/e3d, or just 1 tab a week? Also, should I run it the whole cycle, or just when the bloat kicks?

2. For acne sides, anyone have tried using Pantothenic acid (Vit. B5)? It's cheap & natural, & it does the job based on some friends who have used it (non-trainers). & it's all over the net too

3. My PCT from my last cycle was a simple Clomid = 50mg and Nolva = 20mg for the whole month, 2 weeks after the last shot. I came off well, naturally weight & strength dropped a bit (probably because I kept the same diet post cycle). Should I make any difference this time?

4. Is HCG really necessary? It's kinda hard to get a hold of that where I'm from. Most sources basically don't use them.
