first cycle

**kapper** · 08-20-2012, 04:16 PM

hi,
im new on here and just wanting a few opinions on my first cycle plans, firstly i train hard 4 to 6 days a week with lots of cardio, but ive hit a slight wall in my strength and growth(i understand that cardio would play a factor on my growth but i just cant get enough of it hence why i wanna boost), im 27, 173 cm, 185pounds and maybe 16 to 19% bf. my plan is to do an 8 week sus250 cycle, 500mg and week over 2 injections (monday n thursday) im planning on taking nolvadex and clomid for 4weeks.. 2 weeks after my last shot, i want to gain good strength and noticeable size but also maintain my cardio/ flexibilty.. just wondering does this sound ok for a first cycle? and by the sounds of it sus250 is a painful post injection , will this affect my ability to maintain my daily running?? cheers

Welcome.

You should really find out what you BF is. 16 pretty damn close, 19 is no good for a cycle. That said, at a decent BF (15 or less), I would run the cycle for 12 weeks. Do you plan to take an AI on cycle?

the only fat i really carry is on my stomach.. i wasnt gona take AI as i couldnt get hold of it, do u think it is a neccassary as it helps prevent water retention? also would the cardo help with the water retention? thanks

There's more to an AI than water retention.

Yeah, run the cycle for 12 weeks like austinite recommended. And the AI.

And with all that cardio you do your bf should be lower.I would have your diet checked out in our diet section.
