Would like some feedback on my first cycle

[Gaspereau]

This will be my first cycle. I am 36 years old, I am 5' 11" and weigh 185 pounds with around 18% - 20% Body fat. Been working out on and off for several years. I am eating pretty clean taking in about 250g - 280g of protein daily. Use Creatine shakes for post work out recovery.

I have been researching and scanning forums for 6 months or so. And for my first cycle want to keep things simple. The following is what I have put together for my 12 week cycle:

ON CYCLE:

Week 1 - 12: Test Enanthate - 500mg/week (250mg taken twice per week) **Using "E" to reduce injecting days**

Week 1 - 6: Dianabol - 25mg daily (175mg/week) **Gives a boost in the first weeks of cycle before "E" kicks in**

Week 1 - 12: HCG - 500iu/week (250iu taken twice per week)

Week 1 - 14: Arimidex - .25mg every other day

POST CYCLE:

Week 15: Clomid - 75mg daily + Nolvadex : 40mg daily
Week 16: Clomid - 50mg daily + Nolvadex: 20mg daily
Week 17: Clomid - 50mg daily + Nolvadex: 20mg daily
Week 18: Clomid - 50mg daily + Nolvadex: 20mg daily

I plan to use 25g 1" needles for injecting. I have a huge phobia of needles but am going to try and get over it I guess.

I have a couple questions:

I have seen some cycles that people run the HCG right through PCT? And even 10 days after PCT is over? What is best for HCG....
Has anyone used a freezing pack on the injection area to numb the skin? Of course you would have to re-wipe the area to disinfect.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. There is a lot of different info out there and difficult to know what the best plan is.

Thanks

My First Cycle: Planning and Executing a Successful First Cycle

I would drop the Dbol at the beginning. You really won't need it. Once the Test E kicks in you'll feel like Superman anyways and it's exciting waiting for that change to happen. Save the Dbol for your 2nd cycle. Otherwise, the cycle looks good. Run the HCG up to PCT but not during.

Phobia of needles: I was the same way and I remember my first cycle and my first pin like it was yesterday. I took a shower before injecting and I remember I filled the syringe prior to the shower and I was so nervous. I almost passed out believe it or not. The thing is I DIDN'T HURT AT ALL... I did a Glute injection and it was so easy. You can use an icepack to numb the area before injection. I've done this before and you def. don't feel anything when you pin. Just keep everything clean and you'll be fine. If you shower before injecting it will soften the skin a little which for me anyways makes things easier.

One other thing is I would REALLY work to getting your bodyfat before 15%. Higher bodyfat will cause more issues with E2 (estrogen) management and can cause more ups and downs and higher risk of gyno.

^ If you are eating clean then your body fat generally shouldn't be that high, unless your saying you just started to eat clean. If that is the case get your diet down before you introduce exogenous hormones. AAS won't replace a faulty diet and a poor workout program.
