My first rodeo.

[comeononemorerep]

Gt guys. I am considering taking my first cycle. Actually been researching fir a while. I'm 45 years old, 5'8" and 170lbs. Diet is pretty good. Eat as much as I can and as clean so can. Please give me your honest opinion of my guest planned cycle. 10 week cycle of test cyp at 400/week. Arimidex 0.25eod. Nolvadex pct. Is this a pretty safe plan for first cycle?

Your pct is weak. You need clomid.
Any hcg?

[austinite]

Welcome!

Nolva alone will generally not suffice for PCT, you should include clomid as well. I would also consider HCG as well.

What is your BF % and your cycle history? Any recent bloodwork?

First Cycle Protocol

Test E or C for 12 weeks at 500mg per week. The 500mg is split between 2 shots that are 3.5 days apart, so Monday morning and Thursday evening for example.

For those of you that feel 500mg of Test may not be enough, here is an article by Swifto regarding growing into your dosages properly.

You want to run and AI from day 1 of your cycle to control estrogen levels. You can use Arimidex or Aromasin to do so.

Proper PCT is needed to return your natural testosterone levels back to normal. This will involve the use of Clomid, which is up for debate with Atomini, Nolvadex, and Torem depending on which you decide on.

HCG can be incorporated into your cycle and how to do so is debatable also. Most vets recommend 250 IU every 3.5 days starting in the second week up until the start of your PCT. Other people prefer to use HCG a part of their PCT as well, it’s basically up to you after researching the matter.
