Whats your BF percentage?

With no hcg on cycle I think 3 weeks of nolva is not enough.

I'd run hcg 250iu 3 times per week on cycle and extend the nolva to at least 4 weeks.

Read up on it but consider adding torem or clomid to pct as well.

Sorry forgot. Edited first post but BF is between 15-20%. unfortunately HCG is not available to me. Should I increase nolva to 4 weeks, maybe 40/40/20/20 or?? Also any suggestions on my posted dosages for both dbol and test?

Ok... You need to get your BF % checked. That's too big of a range to advise properly. 15 is fine. 20 is too much to cycle. Especially when bulking.

If you're closer to 15, this is what I would do...

Week 1 to 12 - Test E 500mg/week
Week 1 to 4 - dbol @ 30mg ED
Week 1 to 12 - hCG @ 250 iu twice weekly
Week 1 to 14 - Adex @ 0.25 EOD

PCT with Clomid 75/50/50/50 and nolva 40/20/20/20 (this starts 2 weeks after last test injection)

hCG is available to everyone. Google it.

Test 400 is what I have on hand now. Any difference using that rather then test e as you suggested? Taken the test 400 before as noted and had no problems with any pain as other have reported. I choose the 400 over others basically for cost effective reasons, more mg per ml. Besides sust 250 I don't know if any other tests are available to me.

Also can u explain the reasoning for suggesting a lower dose of 30 for the dbols rather then then the 40mg I was considering?

Thanks for you input so far.

Lower dbol because it's your first run with it. I dont know whats in your test 400 but Im not a fan of blends. Whats in it? There are several ugls that make test 400 and theyre not all the same.

[kashalp]

The test400 contains:

175mg test cypionate
175mg test enanthate
50mg test propionate

Again, I am debating between 400-500mg/wk with this blend. I've taken it before at 400mg/wk with good results but didn't not stack with the dbols.

If you had good results then don't change it.
