First Cycle: Good to go?

[AlexLifter]

Like always, I'll begin by clarifying the fact that, although for some reason my profile says I'm 18, I'm actually 26 years old. I've tried several times to edit my profile settings but I'm unable to access the "My Profile" tab.

Anyway, as for my stats:

Age - 26
Height - 6'0"
Weight - 191 lbs
Body fat - 7%
Lifting experience - 6 years (about 4 serious training years)
Goals: To remain over the 200 lb mark after PCT and remain at a single digit body fat.

Can someone give my proposed first cycle the all clear and let me know whether any alterations need to be made.

Weeks 1-12: 600mg of Test E p/w
Weeks 1-6: 40mg of Dianabol e/d
Weeks 1-15: 1000 iu's hCG 1x week
Weeks 1-15: 0.5mg Adex EOD, adjusting as necessary
Weeks 16-19 (PCT): Clomid/Nolva at 100/100/50/50 and 20/20/20/20

The doses are perhaps somewhat high for a first cycle. Would 500mg of Test E and 30mg of Dianabol be more suitable?

Just my opinion. First, I would read: http://forums.steroid.com/anabolic-s...rst-cycle.html Second, I would ditch the dbol for the first cycle. Not sure if you planning to pin once or twice a week. But, I would split the test to twice a week. I would also, split the hCG to twice a week. Also, he Adex looks ok, but I've only had to use .25 EOD, but everyone is different. PCT looks good, but you need to wait two weeks for the test to drop, but keep pinning the hCG until 3 days before the start of your PCT. Overall, it looks like a well thought out plan. Diet and rest are going to be very important too, so attend to those. Best of luck!

P.S. I agree with MuscleInk regarding the hCG (250 iu's x2 w is plenty) and the clomid.

I would agree with jdc. Run test only first cycle.

Age - 26
Height - 6'0"
Weight - 191 lbs
Body fat - 7% - that is extremely good. how did you determine this BF%?
Lifting experience - 6 years (about 4 serious training years)
Goals: To remain over the 200 lb mark after PCT and remain at a single digit body fat.

Weeks 1-12: 600mg of Test E p/w - consider 1/2 dose twice a week
Weeks 1-6: 40mg of Dianabol e/d - drop this for a first cycle - get to know what test only does to your body
Weeks 1-15: 1000 iu's hCG 1x week
Weeks 1-15: 0.5mg Adex EOD, adjusting as necessary
Weeks 16-19 (PCT): Clomid/Nolva at 100/100/50/50 and 20/20/20/20

Just to add what Roman suggested.....

1000ius of HCG is a bit high. The more common dose is 500iu/wk split over two injections (250 x2).
Adex at 0.5mg EOD is a bit on the high side. 0.25Mg EOD is more common as a starting dose.
100mg of Clomid is much more than you need. At those doses, blurred vision and headaches are common problems. Consider 50-75mg.

So 250ui x 2 per week of hgc for 13.5weeks is that correct?

[jdc91gt]

Yes. I have read and re-read many articles on hCG here and in studies (but MuscleInk in the scientist here so I defer to him), but hCG mimics (does not stimulate) LH. However, your own body will not start producing the formerly suppressed LH until you stop the hCG.

Also and in advance, yes, hCG starts to degrade after 30 days in the frig, but accordingly to Austinite you'll be fine well beyond that time. (Do the math: 250 iu's x 2 week puts you past 30 days) I've not had a problem with potency degradation passed the 30 day time.
