Regarding Test E only cycle and AI

[Shamrock112]

I'm researching for my 2nd cycle and wanted to get some feedback. I plan on doing another Test E cycle, 500mg week, for 16 weeks. I plan on starting my AI on my 3rd week, taking .25 per day (which from what I've read means chopping the pill into 4 pieces).

Weeks 1 - 15 Test E 500mg week
Weeks 3 - 15 AI .25 per day
Weeks 16 - 20 Toremifene 120/90/60/60/30


I used Torem on my last cycle by itself and it brought my boys back up in 3-4 weeks. Admittedly, my first cycle was horrible due to my lack of research and reliance on the advice of my trainer alone, so even though this is again a Test E only cycle I want to make sure I plan correctly.

What is the AI you are running aromasin? Why are you not running hcg during your cycle? I would add another serm to your pct either clomid or tamox

[Shamrock112]

AI is Anastrozole.
Was under the impression running hcg was not needed during Test E only, but can get some. Can I start running that at week 3 along with the AI?
I have clomid on hand so I can run that alongside Torem

Thanks

Which AI arimidex? If so be careful; arimidex is not a suicidal inhibitor and might cause a rebound jump in estrogen when discontinuing use.IMO you would be safer going with a suicidal inhibitor like exemestane which doesn't allow for rebound spikes in estrogen. In any case I would start the AI form day 1 but that's just me. For PCT I'd go with a proven compound like Nolva (tamoxifen); 40/40/20/20 or clomid or both. Good luck bro.

Running a test cycle is exactly why you would want to run hcg alongside to maintain some testicular function

I have heard HCG should be more of a PCT... HCG increases natty test levels... synthetic test shuts down your natty levels. ... I guess it wouldn't hurt just seems counter productive...

No hcg will keep your nuts working on cycle... It will halt your recovery if used for pct.

Incorrect. HCG will prevent leydig cells from atrophying. As long as there is a synthetic testosterone, the negative feedback will inhibit endogenous production. Use HCG on cycle. As a PCT you can suppress recovery in some cases.

Not entirely correct. Proper dosing of Arimidex will not cause a rebound.

Use both clomid and nolva for PCT. The former promotes spermatogenesis.

[Shamrock112]

Thanks for all the input. I have to but the brakes on starting my cycle for abit, having some trouble finding hcg, but other then that I have everything I need. I found liquid exemestane which I might swap for Arimidex.

You are correct, proper dosing will not cause rebound but improper dosing might; it is possible with this AI if handled incorrectly.

[jngymrat]

So for the record, how would he know if he is dosing correctly with Arimidex. What protocol for dosing would you recommend? and what would be the symptoms for a rebound if it were to occur? Just curious.

[Back In Black]

Whoa fella. You just finished PCT after a 6 MONTH cycle. Last thing you want to be thinking about is another cycle mate.

Well ya, improper dosing of anything can cause issues. Lol

Just researching for now. I know the generally accepted time to wait is Time on + PCT = Time off, but if you do Test only, and your blood work comes back good, do you really have to wait that long? Just curious, but yeah I don't plan on running this for a few months
