I am starting to gather the gear for my first cycle (Mudman's cycle 3 and PCT recommendations):
1 – 4 D-bol 40mg ED
1 – 10 Enan 500mg/wk
1 – 12 Nolvadex 10mg ED
1 – 12 L-dex .25mg ED
PCT:
Day 1 300mg Clomid / 20mg Nolva / .25mg L-dex
Day 2 - 30 100mg Clomid / 20mg Nolva / .25mg L-dex
Day 31 - 37 20mg Nolva / .25mg L-dex
I am very much interested in starting anti-estrogens 2 weeks before cycle start. I don't really see or hear much discussion about starting anti-e's 2 weeks pre-cycle and I am wondering if it is a worthwhile thing to do. Will this dramatically reduce sides and their intensity? Any input on your experience on the differences of doing this/not doing this will be appreciated.
I am not going to cycle yet (my BF is still high) but I am gathering up my gear for the cycle and I want to estimate how much Clomid, Nolva, and L-dex to get.
Another question - Will adding D-bol to a cycle as a kickstart blur the effects of the Test E so that I do not know which is giving me an effect or not? Or does stopping the D-Bol at the end of week 4 pretty much negate that because the Test E will have already kicked in (and the D-Bol effects would have leveled off)? I ask this because I want to feel what Test E is like before stacking other injectable compounds (for future cycles - EQ and Tren).
A little about me:
Age - 33
Height - 5'9"
Weight - 208
Body fat% - (+/-) 20% (as estimated by other members based on my pictures)
Diet - Rambo's Cutting Diet (I am still reducing BF %) - 275 to 300g of protein and 100 grams of carbs. My on cycle diet will be a lot like Mike_XXL's lean muscle mass diet but adjusted for my schedule and size.
years lifting - 4 years power lifting (8 years ago) - a few months bodybuilding
Pct knowledge - Pretty much learned everything on this forum (Mudman's PCT cycles)
Goals for cycle - To gain as much lean muscle mass as possible and "gauge" Testosterone's effects on my body to establish a baseline for future cycles (i.e. I will be able to know what Testosterone feels like/sides effects so when I stack other compounds I can discern what is the Test and what is the other compound).
Past cycle experience - A few ill-advised A-bomb only cycles years ago with light Nolva PCT (4 weeks at 20mg's ED) and messing around with Halo to build up aggression for my power lifts.
Thanks!
