Here's what I'm thinking-please critique it:
Test E cycle @ 400mg/week for 12 weeks
Aromasin for 12 weeks (What's proper dosage?)
HCG (I've heard some people say to use it throughout the cycle at 250iu's E4D, but I've also heard people suggest using it only the last 3-4 weeks of the cycle at 500iu's-any thoughts?)

PCT will be Nolva 40/40/20/20 with Clomid 100/100/50/50

Aromasin dosage is 12.5mg/eod (what I've read countless times here from guys who run this AI. I run Arimidex).

HCG should be run for the last 3-4 weeks, if needed. By that I mean if your testicles are shriveling up. You could likely do without it but it will aid in your testicular recovery. I've run it once and seemed to plump back to normal quickly. I'd say 250iu/2X per week.

Train hard and smart. Eat well. Rest well. Drink water like its going out of style.

Seems like you're good to go, unless I'm missing something.

Good luck with your cycle!

what was your first cycle like? how was the recovery? how old were you?

some might say that even now, at 24yrs old, you're still a tad young.

Overall it looks fine and agree with JDBeretta on dosing except I think it's fine to run HCG from the start. to the end of cycle.

First cycle was var only @80mg/week for 8 weeks. Gained about 13 solid pounds and kept almost all of it. That cycle was about 4 months ago. It shut me down pretty hard-libido was way down. My PCT was Nolva and it got me back to normal by the 3rd week after the cycle ended.

Lovbyts, if my nuts aren't shrinking too hard during the cycle can I just start it towards the end of the cycle? I'm trying to minimize injections if possible.

[JDBeretta]

HCG is a sub-Q injection that is like injecting insulin... Do it in the fat on your belly.

And to answer your question, yes, you could leave it until the end. I wouldn't think this cycle will shut your balls down that hard.

I can also see and agree with Lovbyts' point though.

Up to you...

[ThatAthlete82]

Oh, well in that case I'll just use it throughout the cycle. I read somewhere that people were just putting the HCG in the same vial as the Test E and doing an IM injection, which made me think it had to be IM. Thanks!

I've heard of this as well... I just find that to be weird as oil and water don't mix. I guess it must work, but not my idea of doing it.

If you're pressing on your syringe hard enough to push oil through it, and you hit a pocket of water, it's gonna push in pretty damn quickly.
