Cycle Help?

Stats:

Age: 35
Height: 6'00"
Weight: 198 lbs.
BF%: 16%
Experience: 1st cycle in 16 years
Training: Off and on 20 years. Solid for past 14 months. Diet and cardio in check.

Looking to run a basic 1st cycle to help lean me up with Summer approaching. Looking to gain some muscle while I continue to lean up with cardio and diet. I currently am eating a 40/30/30 diet and do 30-40 minutes of low intensity cardio every AM 6 days a week before I eat or drink anything.

Here is what I am looking at doing and need some input. I am considering a 6 week or an 8 week test prop only cycle. Some say 6 weeks is not enough while others say they can be very beneficial. I am also looking at 500 mg test EW and shooting EOD. Again, is 500 too much or should I shoot for 350 EW?

Advice and comments welcomed....

Longer esters will allow you to pin less frequently, if that is a concern for you.

Either way, 400mg/wk is plenty for a first cycle.

PCT plans?

[evil30]

I think I should be ok pinning EOD. I also like the shorter ester to see effects sooner and prop should have less water retention and bloat than E.

I will stick with 400mg/wk.

Should I do 6 weeks or 8 week cycle?

I am considering running some HCG for last 3-4 weeks of cycle....thoughts?

PCT.....I am gonna run 100/50/50/50 Clomid and 40/20/20/20 Nolva. I am also considering running 2 on 2 off clen in PCT?

8 weeks minimum.

HCG weeks 2-7, 125-250ius 2-3x's a week.

No need for the clen in PCT, imo.

Good luck.

I will go with a 400 mg/wk for 8 weeks and see how it goes. I will do a log when I start and make sure to post some before and after pics in the appropriate forums. I will continue to do heavy cardio and clean diet till I get the gear to keep trying to get the BF% as low as possible before I start.

What size pins do you suggest for test and HCG?

[D7M]

1.5 23g for glutes, 1" everywhere else.

HCG can be pinned with your test (same syringe).

Looks good to me, a test only cycle a good start, 2nd cycle can be a little more intense.
