Hello, I am 24 years old, about 150 pounds, 5’7” 9-11% body fat and have been training consistently and correctly (including diet) for the past 2 years, but I have also “worked out” 2 years before that as well.
This will be my first cycle, and my cycle goals are to add 10-15 pounds of lean mass on my body which from what I read is pretty realistic. I want to use AAS because I’ve been a hard gainer my whole life, and these past 2 years I’ve worked really hard to gain this lean weight, but I feel like I’ve hit a plateau now, 155 has always been my max weight no matter what I eat or how I change my routines.
I’ve been reading around and obviously my first cycle will be Test-E only, I still have a few questions which I’ll post at the end, but my cycle is as follows:
Okay, so my questions are:Weeks 1-9:
*500mg testosterone per week
*1 quarter tablet of Fincar per day (1.25mg)
*1 quarter tablet of Arimidex every other day (0.25mg)
*1 tablet of clomid every other day (50mg)
*320mg of standardized Saw Palmetto Extract per day
Week 10:
*300mg testosterone per week
*1 quarter tablet of Fincar per day (1.25mg)
*1 quarter tablet of Arimidex every other day (0.25mg)
*1 tablet of clomid every other day (50mg)
Week 11:
*200mg testosterone per week
*1 quarter tablet of Fincar per day (1.25mg)
*1 quarter tablet of Arimidex every other day (0.25mg)
*1 tablet of clomid every day (50mg)
Week 12:
*1.25mg of finasteride per day
*.25mg of Arimidex every other day
*100mg of clomid every day
Week 13:
*1 quarter tablet of Arimidex every 3rd day (0.25mg)
*50mg of clomid every day
1. First of all, a lot of the cycles I see that are “Newbie friendly” have Test-E going for 10-12 weeks, then a 2 week break to “clear the system” and then the PCT starts, this cycle I found took a lot of the PCT dr*gs during the cycle as a protective measure, with no 2 week break between the cycle and the start of the PCT. Is this fine to do; is there any benefit of doing this? Will it affect my cycle in any way? Or is the 2 week break between the cycle and a straight PCT preferred more than this?
2. A lot of cycles that I have seen take 500mg of test per week for 10 weeks straight, but I have seen some cycles that do a “taper down” Is there any benefit to this method, or should I just do the normal 10 week cycle followed by a 2 week break?
3. Another question I have is Arimidex vs Nolva, which do you find more effective?
4. My final question is in relation to D-bol, do you guys find that “kickstarting” the cycle with D-bol for the first 4 weeks at 10mg 3/d helpful in the overall gains of the cycle?
