First Cycle Questions From An Old Man ( 40 )

[riprock1]

Hello All and thanks in advance for any/all help you may offer.

6'3 225 lbs. 22% bf always in decent shape / never very strong or defined / never fat

Lifting 6 days 1+1/2hr-- cardio 7 days 1hr Diet is my strength/ no crap / greens/beens/proteins/carbs

When I go to the gym i lift weights .....not socialize

Looking to add strength and a minimal amount of size ( beach worthy)

I am preparing to take Testosterone Enanthate for 8 weeks ( 500 mg wk)

I will follow with Nolvadex wks 10-14 (20 mg day)

Not Looking for MASS gains trying to play it safe

At 40, I simply want results from my hard work

Please advise : Dosing - avoiding gyno - Pct neccesary? - take Anything with the Test?

Thanks Very Much.... I'll see you on the Beach

I would get diet in check. And run nolva at 40 mg and also cookie for pct...and consider hcg while on test

[MickeyKnox]

Re-evaluate diet and try to reduce body fat to around 15%. post diet in Diet/Nutrition section - lots of great folks in there to help you along.

Extend cycle to 10 wks. Test e doesn't usually kick in until the 4th wk. Give it an extra two wks to "spool up"

Aromasin ON cycle 12.5mg eod

Pct is always necessary when taking AAS.
If you can get your hands on hcg use 250iu every 4 days starting 14 days after your first AAS dose. drop hCG about the same time as your last test e shot.

Pct should include,
clomid 100/50/50/25
nolva 40/40/20/20

Multivitamin
Vitamin C

just my .02

Can I take The Test totally by itself ? I want to see how my body reacts.

I will up the Nolva. ...Is it correct to wait a few weeks after Test cycle to start Nolva?

Sorry , i dont know what cookie are?

yes you can, but the hcg will assist in your body producing natural test, reducing testicle shrinkage, and getting your body back on track. reportedly it will also assist in retaining some of your gains. win win if you ask me.

start pct two weeks after last test e injection.

no idea what a cookie is either but Gearbox is pretty experienced so i imagine it's slang or a typo ?

Nolva 40/40/20/20
is this 4 weeks everyday dosage?

[MickeyKnox]

yes. everyday for each of those PCT wks.

ex:
wk1 of pct 40mg Nolva 100mg clomid every day.
wk2 reduce clomid to 50mg, nolva remains same at 40mg.
wk3 reduce nolva to 20mg, clomid remains same at 50mg..and so on..

again, this is your pct which starts two wks (14 days) AFTER your last injection.

edit: you may increase/decrease this depending on sides. but this pct is fairly standard for a light cycle of test e only.

Mickey cleared it up nicely..

Welcome. First, get that bf down to 15%. As mentioned you can go to Nutrition Section and post your diet for them to critique.

Run that Test E for at least 10 weeks but 12 would be better. Pin twice a week every 3.5 days. Like monday morning and thursday night.

Need to go to PCT Forum as well and check things out there as it's recommended to run clomid w/your nolva. HCG is a great addition to your cycle. But not during PCT. And an AI during cycle as well.

I would go 12 weeks it is was me. But definitely need hcg imo. Ten.is still good and 8 is not long enough
