Does this cycle sound okay?

[Nine91]

Weeks 1-12: 500mg test c ew
Weeks 1-6: 25mg dianabol ed
Weeks 1-12: 500iu hcg ew
Weeks 1-12: 0.25mg arimidex eod
Wait 18 days until pct (0.25mg arimidex eod while waiting for pct)

PCT:
Clomid 75/50/50/50
Nolvadex 40/20/20/20

Should my training and diet stay the same throughout cycle and pct? Or should I work in a slight cut near the end to shed some fat? Also what's the best thing to do in the 18/19 weeks off before my next cycle? Do you guys usually cut in that time? Just curious what you all think and do! thanks!

Cycle looks good.

What are your cycle goals is this your first cycle?

[thephoenix25]

For a first cycle, you should drop the dbol, HCG should be up till 3 days before PCT, the rest looks ok.

Diet and training should intensify. My thought is to "make hay while the sun shines", so I up my calories and training when bulking. I'd rather gain a little fat and get extra pounds of muscle. There is far more to training and diet during cycle and PCT than I'm willing to type, but read the stickys in the diet section and pct section so you know what to do.

Cut or Bulk, don't try to do both, its complicated and wasteful IMO. DO NOT cut during PCT as you'll quickly strip off the new tissue. When I bulk cycle, I'll wait until my weight stabilizes after PCT, usually about 2-4 weeks post PCT before I cut.

Thanks. I always want to make sure that it looks okay so I don't f*ck myself up lol. I think I have a good understanding of it all but I always second guess myself. Better safe than sorry though

[Nine91]

My goal is to get bigger and stronger. This is my first cycle but I want to add the dbol in to get things going faster. I know people advise test only for first cycle, but the dbol is only to kickstart and I shouldn't feel the test until a few weeks in anyways right? I just wanted to make sure my ai and hcg were dosed correctly alongside the dbol

[Euroholic]

Drop the dbol and use test p for a few weeks until the c kicks in Or just run 8 weeks of the prop ester.

[Nine91]

I was reading an hcg sticky and it was saying to only run hcg the last weeks of cycle and not to run ed because it'll mess up your lh. Is that only at higher doses? And it also said hcg will cause gyno, but I should be fine with the ai right?

[Back In Black]

That sticky is outdated. Find the one written by Austinite.

[Nine91]

Found it, great read. Thanks

Adex stops just before pct starts.

Adex stops just before pct starts.

yes it does

I was saying this because you've got it stopping at wk 12 in your first post see it ??.

I start pct 18 days after last pin, but I'll continue the ai between last pin and pct.

Exactly! And hCG up to 3 days prior to starting your pct...

I'd really re-think the d-Bol - as your AI dosage is going to be tough to dial in b/c you've never ran either compound... If your really thinking of anything stick to test only and if you must - frontload w/prop for 4wks... Imo just the test cyp will be plenty

Learn to be patient and take the advice of the guys above. Drop the dbol and follow Austinites Successful Cycle thread and you'll be fine.

[Nine91]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind

Best results will be if you're training like you did while you were off-cycle and making gains except you will be using heavier weights so adjust accordingly
