Risk of damaging HPTA?

[thex95]

Hey guys, so I am looking for some honest advice. I am considering starting a second cycle in the summer and I was wondering what do you all think the odds of me doing permanent damage are by running this cycle. I am concerned with damaging my HPTA mainly.

First stats;

Stats;

Age 24
Weight 182
Height 5'11
Years training 5

Cycle History;

I did my first cycle a year ago and it looked like this;

400 mg test cypionate Ew for 10 weeks.
.25mg arimidex eod until PCT
PCT starting 18 days after last injection consisting of
nolva 40/20/20/20
clomid 70/35/35/35

First cycle went great with minimal sides, just some shoulder acne and complete loss of libido for a week during PCT.

My second cycle will look like this;

Week 1-10 test cyp @ 400 mg a week
week 1-4 tbol @ 30 mg a day
.25mg arimidex ed until PCT
HCG from first shot of test to 5 days before PCT @ 250iux2 a week
Pct 18 days after last injection with
clomid - 35/35/35/35
nolva 20/20/20/20

So let me know what you guys think. I am more than willing to hold of a couple years on doing another cycle, if I ever actually do another one. No need to rush into things.

honestly nobody can give you a % chance. The older you are the safer it is.
What is your bf% at?
Dont take this the wrong way. Especially since i dont know your bf so its more of a general comment. But maybe work on yuor diet some more. That way if you do run the cycle you get more out of it and keep the results

you look good.
Do you actually get fat or hold water?

It may very well be retaining water, but Im not 100% sure. I guess the only way to know is get a bf% check done while bulking. Thanks I didn't consider water retention before.

No one can tell you whether you will permanently damage your HPTA. Probably not. But who knows.

Honestly, if you're that worried, don't cycle.

Ya thats fair enough. But don't guys who cycle even get a little worried about things like damaging their hpta?

Oh I'm sure they do.

I'm on TRT, so I really don't anymore

maybe try aromosin instead of a-dex next cycle

I was considering that, but I have read a lot of guys have a bad bounce back and I have already used adex so I know it works for me. I will still consider switching to aromison though, thanks for the advice.
