I want to get on a good cycle to build strength and muscle on the right places so that I don’t have to worry about strength anymore, focusing more on technique and conditioning after I start competing again.
I know that some of my gains will be lost when I get off, but I am pretty sure the new myonuclei will stick around for basically forever giving me permanent benefits so please don’t try to convince me that they won’t help a fighter.
My stats are:
Male, 24 years old, 6’1’’ tall, 170lbs, 8% body fat.
I have been training in martial arts for 7 years and also strength training for all those years but only for around 4 months every year when I took time off competing. I squat 365, do pull ups with added 110lbs and prior to my current injury I benched and power cleaned 265. I am not advanced but I believe I am not a novice either.
My injury history is quite long so I will only tell you about the one that is bothering me now which is a 2nd grade ac joint separation on my right shoulder.
Here are the two options I thought for a first cycle:
Option A
It’s the cycle layout from austinite’s post about beginners:
Week 1 to 12: Test E @ 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: Adex @ 0.25mg every other day (From day 2 up until PCT starts)
PCT: Clomid @ 75/50/50/50 & Nolva @ 40/20/20/20
Liver Support: 600 mg of N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) daily
Option B
If I choose the first option I will do only one cycle all this time. If I take time off and then do another cycle It will catch up to the time I will be competing and I might get caught. The alternative plan I made is to prolong option A so I will be on for a longer period.
Week 1 to 12: Test E @ 125 mg every 3.5 days (250mg/week total)
Week 1 to 12: hCG @ 125 iu every 3.5 days (250 iu/week total)
Week 1 to 12: Adex @ 0.25mg every other day (From day 2 up until PCT starts) Week 13 to 24: Test E @ 250 mg every 3.5 days (500mg/week total)
Week 13 to 24: hCG @ 250 iu every 3.5 days (500 iu/week total)
Week 13 to 26: Adex @ 0.25mg every other day (From day 2 up until PCT starts)
PCT: Clomid @ 75/50/50/50 & Nolva @ 40/20/20/20
Liver Support: 600 mg of N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) daily
My questions are:
-I had pubertal gyno which went away on its own. Am I safe with Adex or I should take something else?
-I also have back acne so cycling will make it possibly worse. Should I run low dose Accutane or it is a bad idea?
-In option B, at the first 12 weeks, should I cut Adex also in half?
-Is it a very bad idea to not run hCG? I have access to everything in pharma grade except hCG. I don't want to buy from someone I don't know and end up getting something fake.
-And last one but maybe the most important, does anyone have a better cycle suggestion for my case?
Anyone who believes that can help, feel free to give suggestions and comments, I look forward to your advice.
