My first 300mg cycle

[Cuz]

Hey everybody,

I have been doing research and wanting to do my first cycle, if you can call it that. I have debated doing a simple TRT dose of 300mg Test E a week or even lowering it to 250. I would use a PCT such as Nolvadex or Clomid following the 10-15 week cycle. I would also want Airmidex for an AI in case it would be needed. I have some questions when it comes to taking the PCT And AI. Is there a formula/equation to use to determine the dosage of PCT and AI with the cycle? I see people listing set amounts, but I know everybody is different and those values usually come with a higher base test and with another compounded added. Since this would be my first cycle, I want to have all my bases checked and make sure I am during it accurately. I have not done my pre-cycle blood work, so maybe having those numbers will allow me to better understand and know the measures for my PCT and AI.

I had a couple of more questions, but the draft I had typed out did not save so hopefully I can remember them in a timely fashion.

I am currently 25, almost 26 at 5'10 weighing at 195. I would like to say I'm around 12% body fat, but I do not know. I have been all the way to 6% before due to being a collegiate athlete and gymnast growing up. I have started traveling a lot for work so my diet is not as in tuned as I like it, but with more dedication I can change it to be more strict. I was eating roughly 2800 or more calories a day to have a slight bulk which got my to 200 at my current body comp, but a bit more fat I'd say. I am trying to cut since I am traveling for work, but want to maintain my strength and size as best as possible. I am a chronic marijuana smoker, if anyone knows this may be an issue to my results. Besides the marjiuana, I am a healthy individual working for a Sports medicine program finishing up graduate school.

All and any advice is welcome, I want to make sure this is done correctly and I can squeeze the most gains out of each cycle as possible.

So you are wanting to do a cut? Cutting is damn near all about diet. And we are talking 300mg test here, which will help assist in preserving/building of the present tissue. You are about 16% bodyfat. I commend you for staying natty and building a solid base.

How long have you been training for ? Pardon if i skipped over it already mentioned…

I would definitely do a pct at 26 , in hopes of recovery. You’re kinda in a grey zone here, you want to ease into this and see how you react to testosterone at small dose, you probably wont notice a whole lot you will be a little more vascular and full looking for sure. But it could lead to trt so ask yourself is it worth it..

Right now I am in a cut since I am traveling a lot, but I am unsure if I want to go on a slight bulk/ maintain or cut for the cycle. I have been watching my diet, some months harder than others, for just over a year. In regards to lifting, I have been lifting/active since I was 14 ( Over 10 years) but I have been working out with a serious goal and with good knowledge of weight lifting for about 3 years. Finishing undergrad and starting graduate school has made it difficult to stay with my goals. For the most part, The last year and a half is whenI dialed in more aggressively; counting rest periods, working sets and even tracking my lifts to ensure more progressive overload. There was a moment in this last year and a half that I took the diet super hard core for about 2 months to ensure I could follow a strict program if I did want to hop on.

I do want gains, but my safety and future is the priority for sure. The itch for bigger mass is killer though despite asking myself if it is all worth it. I did expect the TRT dosages to give me little gain, but it would be a start to maybe a future of major mass gaining.

I also left out what may be a key component. I have torn both of my achilles tendons in the past, so these tendons repairs may or may not have a negative effect from hormones.
