the cycle has begun...

[s.e.bowen]

Hey guys this is cycle #2:
Sust 250 2×a week
Hcg 250 iu 2×a week
Tamox and Clomid for pct
This is week #3 into the cycle.
Stats: 42 yrs.
Height 5'11"
Weight 203 lbs
Bf% about 15-16%
First cycle was sust alone 500 a week for 6 weeks no hcg or pct. No sides recovered quickly. No bloodwork, however I had no problem with libido ( getting it up or keeping it up.) This time I'm going to run the cycle 10-12 weeks, not sure yet.
So far strength has increased and gained a few pounds (then lost a couple.) Changed diet a bit cutting out carbs except for breakfast and post workout meal. Haven't experienced any sides to speak of yet except for insomnia. Trying to combat it with benedryl. Any suggestions or advice or constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

No I didn't use any. Didn't have any sides.

I would have one on hand in case. I would even use it, just maybe a little less than the normal protocol. You may very well have had sides you didnt see, feel, or know about. I did the same thing, and I had some issues and had no idea.

What type if sides could occur without noticing? What would you suggest for AI?

It's possible to be asymptomatic for elevated estrogen - rare but possible. Elevated estrogen can put you at an increased risk for stroke or heart attack - and often a stroke or heart attack isn't going to give you advanced warning.

If you are going gamble like that, I strongly urge you to have BW done at end of cycle.

What would you suggest for AI?

At least anastrozole, 0.25mg q.a.d

Thanks for you time, I appreciate it.

Thanks for you time, I appreciate it.

A pleasure to help. Anytime.

MuscleInk answered it for me Thats what happened to me. BP got uncontrollable, as well as heartrate. Strokes and Heart attacks arent worth not using an AI.
