Research Questions for Future Cycle.

[Ares12]

Hey everyone,I posted awhile back about doing a cycle and decided against it, mainly because I was certainly undereducated and still young (21). As I continue to find info and read through the stickies I had a few questions. My stats are as follows
6'4"
225-235 LBS.
BF ~8.5 (currently cutting)
age 21
training for 8 years, been serious for 4
My diet is spot on I eat 6-8 meals per day all clean and count every macronutrient. I'm currently cutting and taking in about 3000-3500 calories per day.

Cycle to be run in future:
test cyp-500mg/week
Arimadex
and pct-Day 1-30- .25mg L-dex + 100mg Clomid + 20mg Nolva

My questions are: 1. how to dose arimadex? I've heard and read everything from .25mg daily to .25 every other day, to .25 on every day except the ones you stick. I just would like some clarification there. Also in terms of PCT what is the difference between L-dex and arimadex? And finally my main concern about running any cycle is loss of sexual function. Do you think there will be a high risk of that with a cycle like this? I'm really hesitant to do a cycle if there's a chance it could induce permanent e.d. or e.d. of any kind. I've been researching like crazy and really trying to take my time to learn. Also much thanks for reading/replying!

Ldex is liquid Adex. Not for PCT!

Your PCT needs work. Read the sicky and gather more info...

235 @ 8.5% BF...... pretty outstanding. Not sure why you would ever consider AAS if you could accomplish that naturally.

Anyway... with those stats, you'd need to eat around 3700 calories if you're looking to grow.

AI on cycle, not PCT. 0.25 EOD with adex. L-dex is the same thing, liquid form.

hCG need to be used on cycle at 250iu twice weekly. PCT should be nolva 40/20/20/20 and clomid 75/50/50/50

hCG will help speed up recovery, maintain testicular function and prevent atrophy.

The chances of you having issues are more likley if you cycle now at your age, so I hope you're serious about this being a "future" cycle. Be sure to get blood work done to gauge your AI dose and maintain your health.

Nice stats for a 21 year old.

All advice is good, but to answer your question about sexual dysfunction. While your on cycle everything in that department will be on warp drive. The question is at your age cyling now could cause permanent damage that will only show up later in life. Yes causing sexual disfunction and other sides. Google symptoms of low testosterone. Not fun my friend.

Yea, that sounds good. Post a pic.

i remember a previous member also named Ares with very similar stats. what a coincidence.

btw, welcome to the forum!

I'm planning on competing in physique in the coming year and then may looking into the WFBB muscle model division. I'm a full time student now though so it's difficult to prep like I want to.

[Ares12]

I definitely plan to wait at least another year. hCG is something I had read about, but was unsure if I needed it I appreciate the advice and will definitely get the blood work when the time comes!

On cycle there will be no issues with ed

Liquiddex is arimidex as stated

Ed from unbalanced hormone levels, low test, no estro, too much estro. All of these can be sides from not recovering fully enough from a cylcle, being from a bunk pct, or just too much gear or a whole number of factors.

Hcg helps your body produce fsh and lsh that help keep you from getting shut down as bad. Making recovery easier. Its becoming a staple of the modern day aas user.

That being said at your age your endocrin system is still developing and peaking. Aas will actully stunt you endocrin sytems natural potential and becuse your young your body will recact more giving possibly more gains but deffinatly more suppresion. After which it will be unlikely you will be able to return to the natural level you have now.

It could lead to low t and ed as your system never finished developing and peaked early and started early on a downword slope.

Trust me when you get older around 25-26 you will notice the change when you are going to the gym and training just as you are now but t begins to drop and gains start coming slower and your recoverys lower and your less mad horney. Thats the time to start.
