    2nd Cycle-Looking for critiques

    Hello all

    I'll start w/ the basics :

    Height - 5-10
    weight - 175
    BF% - 12
    Routine :

    Monday/Thursday - Back/Bi's
    Tuesday/Friday - Chest/Tri's
    Wednesday/Saturday - Legs
    ***I also do abs,forearms,cardio daily(about 20 mins each)

    Diet - No strict diet, but I eat pretty healthy
    Supplements - Multi-Vitamin,Fish oil, Protein,Apple cider vinegar,Oregano oil

    I did an 8 week cycle back in '04 consisting of 375mg Sust/wk, 200mg Test E/wk and 2 weeks of 25mg/day Dbol at the beginning. I PCT'd for 10 days at the end w/ 100mg clomid/day.

    When I started that cycle I weighed 151 W/ a BF% of 5. I ended at 188 w/ the same BF%. But I will note that 2 months prior to the start of that cycle I had started losing weight at about a pound a day. I went from 180 to 150 in a month, and it stopped after that. My doctor said I had anxiety issues. So I never felt hungry and therefore ate about 500 cals/day.

    So anyway that is why I got onto doing my first cycle. And i was very pleased w/ the results. Great weight gains and awsome strength gains.
    Of course I do not expect this next one to yield those results.

    Onto my goals. I am trying to get my weight up to around 200. I'm not looking to get into any competitions or anything. But I wouldnt mind some decent strength gaing either. I also want to cut up a little more.

    In going into this next cycle I will, of course, start keeping tabs on my diet and eating more clean. I am also looking into some different supplements. I want to get an NO product incorporated, and(at the constant nagging of my buddy-i mean daily) maybe a creatine product.

    As you can tell from the first cycle, I didnt do a few things right. Mainly I didnt do much research, I mostly let my buddy handle that. But I'm still here so it didnt go bad. This time however I wanted to do a little better than "I'm still here so it didnt go bad."

    On to the 2nd cycle.
    I read quite a bit this time and got a lot of great tips and ideas. I want to thank TheMudMan for his great article -"Cycles for the Newbie". Anyone thinking about doing this for the first time should definately give it a read.

    I heeded much advice found in the articles I read in deciding on this cycle and came up with a 12 week one. I deciced to go with TheMudMans' PCT for this one(which will be listed below).

    2 week Precycle(all pills) :
    Nolva 10mg/day - Adex .25mg/day

    Cycle :
    Week 1-4 Dbol(pill) 50mg/day
    Week 1-9 Test E(liquid) 400mg/week
    Week 1-9 EQ(liquid) 400mg/week
    Week 7-11 Winny(pill) 50mg/day
    Week 1-12Nolva(pill) 10 mg/day
    Week 1-12 Adex(pill) .25mg/day

    PCT : Starting day after week 12(all pills)
    Day 1 Clomid 300mg / Nolva 20mg / Adex .25 mg
    Day 2-30 Clomid 100mg / Nolva 20mg / Adex .25 mg
    Day 31-37 Nolva 20mg / Adex .25mg

    So thats what i got. I will be starting my cycle in the beginning of March. So I need to order by February. All suggestions/critiques are greatly appreciated.

    Week 1-9 Test E(liquid) 400mg/week
    Week 1-9 EQ(liquid) 400mg/week I would bump this up to 600 mg
    Week 7-11 Winny(pill) 50mg/day
    Week 1-12Nolva(pill) 10 mg/day With armidex no need to run this to.
    Week 1-12 Adex(pill) .25mg/day

    I made some comments on what I would change but I think you should look into the diet and workout forum. Get that spot on before you go ahead with this cycle.

    As far as shoulders go, I just incorporate that into back. So yes I do shoulders on my back/bi days.

    the EQ should be ran for a minimum of 12 weeks so you should extend the test to week 13,change the rest of your cycle accordingly..............

    Like Booz said run EQ for atleast 12 weeks, and you have to run Test E one week more because of halflife and PCT start times, I was going to run test for 10 weeks and bumped it up to 12 on the advice of this board, it takes 4-6 weeks for test e to really be felt so you dont want to stop at 9 weeks. Another thing you took 575 mgs of test your first cycle and saw results, why would you bump your second cycle down to 400mgs?? and dont forget 2 shots a week

    You are working your shoulders on everyday that is in bold. I was wrong you have 3 days a week that they can rest. I am sorry. Put shoulders in chest/tris if anything.

    I guess I'm trying to keep this at a 12 week cycle. So could I just drop the EQ and maybe just bump the Test-E to 600 and keep the rest of the cycle the same.

    OK this is what I have now(keeping it at 12 weeks)

    Week 1-4 Dbol 40mg/day
    Week 1-10 Test-E 500mg/day
    Week 8-12 Winny 50mg/day

    Also a quick question on the Dbol, how should i spread that out. I have 10mg tabs, so i will be taking 4/day.
