Another PCT query.

[Driller]

Hi all, hoping for some advice here. Firstly, I have read your PCT section and am familiar with the protocols etc. I decided to post here as the PCT section doesnt seem to get much use?
I'm 42 yo, 203 lbs, 13-15% bf, have cycle experience, but not for 10-12 years. Back then, we had never heard of AI's or SERMS or PCT My diet is good, all clean, currently on approx 2800 cals to reduce BF a little more before cycle. On cycle will be upping to 3500-4000 cals, 300Gs protein, low carb, low fat 1 gallon of water daily, etc etc.
Goal is to put on 20 lbs. I had gyno from puberty, cycles I ran didnt effect it overly much, some swelling but returned to "normal" after cycle. Went under the knife a couple years ago and had it removed.
I will be running 500mg Test E, 2 shots per week. Simple cycle. I have EVERYTHING in hand now, clomid, nolva, arimidex, aromasin, letro and even some clem (which I dont intend on using. If I cant control what I put in my mouth, I shouldnt be gearing up for a cycle, so no clem).
Ok, sorry for the long discourse, but heres my question. Almost everywhere I read/research regarding PCT protocols, I am finding different theories
Looking for a good PCT plan. Not going to start the cycle until I'm comfortable with one. So cycle would be as stated, Test E 500mg pw 12-14 weeks, running Adex at .25mg EOD, start Nolva 10 days after last pin at 20/20/20/10/10 and also Aromasin at 12.5 mg EOD (?) out to 60 days past last pin. And at week 5 of PCT, would look at adding clomid (?) Not running HCG anywhere (unavailable here) also will be incorporating Vit C to help with cortisol rebound.
Looking for advice/critique/input on PCt plan?
cheers.

Just a thought... but given your age you may be eligible for HRT...

Height?

I know there's a lot of confusing and conflicting info regarding pct. I recommend Swifto's pct that you'll find in the stickies in the pct forum. I have some personal experience with it as well. That boy does his homework, and keeps it current. And nothing comes out of his mouth he can't back up. A lot of guys will argue the need for hcg with that cycle, but it's your balls here, not theirs...

Height is 6 ft 1.
HRT isnt really an option here, unless you wanna run a topical cream with 5% test base, lol.
Yeah I have read swiftos thread, he seems quite knowledgable. My sit is slightly unique in that I have had gyno (from puberty, not aas related) and had it removed. No gland on the right side and only a tiny amount remaining on the right hand side, now dormant and thats the way I would like to keep it Through a lack of info and ignorance, I did pretty much everything it was possible to do incorrectly with regards to cycles all those years ago, however I did manage to come thru relatively unscathed, except for pissing blood (liver cysts) a few times after running Halos and Anapalon 150...... so I have learnt from my mitakes...I hope Ergo my wanting to get things 100% right this time around.

Typo there! Tiny bit of gland remaining on the right hand side (dormant and hardly noticeable) left hand side is clear.

Start both Nolva and Clomid 12 days after your last test E shot. 20mg and 50mg respectively for 4-5 weeks. You could do without the Aromasin in PCT, but just add 12.5mg EOD while running the SERMs if you want.
And use HCG on cycle as needed to keep your balls from atrophying. There are tons of different pinning protocols, but I would just do 1000 IU per week for the last 5 weeks leading up to PCT (stop one week before PCT).

Thanks for the info Bonaparte, much appreciated
