What else is needed?
Do I need to donate blood to decrese the hemoglobin levels to prevent clotting?
My biggest goal is to look great for the summer even though the ultimate goal is to look great all year around

Is a 16 week cycle benefits out weight the risks? My cycle is 12 weeks excluding PCT

Is it ok if I take one aromasin(12.5) and the other day arimidex(0.5).

My biggest goal is to look great for the summer even though the ultimate goal is to look great all year around.

Hello,
Questions:
What else is needed?
This is a really great post to plan your first cycle.

Do I need to donate blood to decrese the hemoglobin levels to prevent clotting?
It's the hematocrit that you should be looking at. I donate blood when my level gets too high.

My biggest goal is to look great for the summer even though the ultimate goal is to look great all year around
You're starting at the right time. I would recommend you run an 8 week Test Prop cycle. It's faster than a Test E cycle but you might get a little more acne. Make sure you wash with anti-acne body wash everyday.

Should I run HCG during cycle? what are the doses?
Yes, 250iu twice a week.

Is a 16 week cycle benefits out weight the risks? My cycle is 12 weeks excluding PCT
16 weeks cycle + 2 weeks rest + 4 week PCT is 5 and a half months if you want to look good for summer, run a shorter 8 week Test Prop cycle

Is 6 weeks PCT long?
4 weeks is good enough

Is it ok if I take one aromasin(12.5) and the other day arimidex(0.5).
Pick one and stick with it.

My biggest goal is to look great for the summer even though the ultimate goal is to look great all year around.
Thank you!

Your diet will determine how you will look after your cycle. Work up a clean diet. I see guys put as their diet "eating clean" but most guys don't even know what that means. Really, go through the diet section and work up a good diet and post it for comment.

Good stuff by Scotch.
No need to start at 400 then bump it up. Just start at 500.
I'm more concerned that your free T is low at your age. Would have been nice to have your shbg level, which is probably higher causing this.

Thank you so much for the responses. all comments noted!

Aromasin doesn't work as arimidex. Aromasin needs to be taken once per day minimum. Check this thread for info https://forums.steroid.com/anabolic-...rdosed-ai.html

Aim to keep stable levels of estrogen so smaller doses of any AI will have you feeling better than rollercoaster rides every week.

Great point! Thank you so much
