40/40/20

Cycle:
Weeks 1-10: Test E - 250mg Every 3.5 Days
Weeks 1-12: HCG - 250 IU Every 3.5 Days ~ (Only 1 Pin on Week 12)
Weeks 1-12: Aromasin - 12.5mg EOD ~ (Stop 1 Day Before PCT)
Weeks 13-14: Nolvadex - 40mg Every Day
Weeks 15-16: Nolvadex - 20mg Every Day

Workout Plan:
Weeks 1-6: Ben Pakulski's "MI40"
Weeks 7-12: Ben Pakulski's "MI40X"

Questions:

Q1. Is this an acceptable first cycle?

Q2. Should HCG run 1-10 or 1-12 week?

Q3. Should I keep Aromasin on hand incase I need? or take no matter what as a preventative?

Q4. Would a 35/45/20 or 45/35/20 macro split be more effective than 40/40/20?

Q5. I've absolutely never ever had any hair loss issues in my life and don't think that I suffer from MPB. Father had brown curly hair with severe baldness by mid 20's. I have straight dirty blond hair with zero signs of baldness at 27. I'm assuming that I've completely dodged his MPB gene.

Just to be safe, should I run a hair loss protocol regardless? Or is it only worth it if I know that I need it?

(Hair loss Insurance Protocol)
Week 1-12: Finasteride - 1mg Every Day
Week 1-12: Daily 2% Nizoral Shampoo
Week 1-12: Daily Rogaine (minoxidil) Spray

I very much appreciate any feedback given. Thank you.

All looks good. Although I would add clomid.

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

Questions:

Q1. Is this an acceptable first cycle? Yes

Q2. Should HCG run 1-10 or 1-12 week? 1-12

Q3. Should I keep Aromasin on hand incase I need? or take no matter what as a preventative? Yes, use it. Don't wait until the problems occur, you dont want them to occur so don't risk it.

Q4. Would a 35/45/20 or 45/35/20 macro split be more effective than 40/40/20? Completely your call, a gram of protein per pound of body weight is sufficient, then build your macros around this, personally i prefer higher carb lower fat. Its person dependant

Q5. I've absolutely never ever had any hair loss issues in my life and don't think that I suffer from MPB. Father had brown curly hair with severe baldness by mid 20's. I have straight dirty blond hair with zero signs of baldness at 27. I'm assuming that I've completely dodged his MPB gene. You may have dodged the gene, you may not have... this could speed up the process to take all the necessary precautions, if your that concerned about it then steroids may not be for you. its one of the the risks you could well pay...
