First Cycle talk still!

[vikingblood]

So I have stated this before that I plan on running this cycle:
Week 1 to 12: Testosterone enanthate @ 250 mg every 3.5 days (500mg/week total)
- Week 1 to 12: hCG @ 250 iu every 3.5 days (500 iu/week total)
- Week 1 to 14: Arimidex @ 0.25mg every other day (From day 2 up until PCT starts)

PCT
Begins wk 13 to wk 17

Clomid 75/50/50/50
Nolva 40/40/20/20

But I have read a lot more in the past week about this hurting my endurance. I Crossfit only and I want to compete and the man thing I lack in the endurance to make the jump to the big stage. Would it be better to run a lower test amount to help prevent pumps? I know test will help because it will increase my RBC but will that endurance that I do gain stay with me? Sorry if I have beaten this to death I really just want to make sure I am running the correct stuff here. Also I will get drug tested this time next year, EQ is out since I heard it will show up on a test 12 months after use. Thanks for all the help.

Eq would be the best but if you worried about tests then thats out, Winny would be the next best, think of how many runners take winny (ben johnson comes to mind) , it wont increase water bloat, it will increase RBC (like all anabolics) the pump you are worried about will happen with any anabolic that increases RBC's (thats where the pump comes from) its quick acting and leaves your sysyem quickly, the only downside would be possible joint pain

With Test E after 6 weeks the effects will come on, bloat and high blood pressure is very possible if you dont control it with an AI and when that happens I find endurance suffers from the extra water weight and high blood pressure

As a basketball player I feel that test e did affect my endurance. Not sure but maybe I would go w prop if I were you. May not affect is as much since less bloat, etc.

You are gonna get pumps w anything though.

Oral tbol might be a good one for athletes

Oral-Turinabol - Steroid .com


But first cycle should be test only. Prop requires more pinning but might be good for you.

[vikingblood]

Yea, I that about Prop and after reading the profile. How much were you taking while playing basket ball?

[ScotchGuard02]

I haven't seen test affect the endurance of guys I train. I train MMA guys so endurance is premium for them. I have them on about 300mg/wk of Test and they can recover quicker and have good muscular endurance.

[sixfootseven]

It was during the offseason so it was probably more the added weight. I was doing 500mg/wk

[vikingblood]

scotchGuard, are they on Test E or Pro and also did they run anything else. MMA is the closest thing to Crossfit as far as intensity and endurance.
