Hey everyone, first time poster here. I read the stickies and have a pretty good feeling for all of this. However, I am a bit nervous, primarily because this is going to be my first cycle. I was just wanting to double check to see if I have everything right!
Stats: 22 years old, 6', 160lb, 10-12% BF
Lifts (roughly, haven't tried to find my 1 rep max in years):
Incline Bench: 225lb x5
Deadlift: 315lb x5
Squat: 250lb x5
Recently cut from 185lbs 4 months ago. I've been lifting for over 5 years, 2.5 of which have been more serious lifting, and strictly dieting for the past 6 months. Everyone I know tells me I look bigger than 160, definitely not a twig. I will try to get pics up when I can.
Diet: Eating at 20% above maintenance during my cycle based off of the Katch-McArdle formula. My diet will be very clean, and I will be sure to meet both macronutrient and micronutrient needs.
Supplements:
Orange Triad
Fish Oil
Purple Wraath
Protein (isolate, casein)
Food (BEST SUPPLEMENT EVER!)
My cycle plan is as follows (all injections):
Weeks 1-12
Monday: Anastrazole 0.5mg
Tuesday: Anastrazole 0.5mg
Wednesday: Anastrazole 0.5mg
Thursday: Test-E 250mg (morning) & Anastrazole 0.5mg
Friday: Anastrazole 0.5mg
Saturday: Anastrazole 0.5mg
Sunday: Test-E 250mg (night) & Anastrazole 0.5mg
Weeks 8-12:
HCG 500iu 2x/week
PCT (2 weeks after last injection):
Tamoxifen 40mg ED for 2 weeks, then 20mg ED for 2 weeks
Clomiphene 100mg ED 1 week, 50mg ED for 3 weeks
Questions:
1. Is clomid a necessity? I've heard about how it can kill your sex drive. If it's recommended to take it along with nolva, about how long will it take to get my sex drive back?
2. If I run into symptoms of gyno while on test, should I start using Nolva 60mg the first day, then 40mg every day until it goes away, and then 20mg 2-3 days after symptoms disappear?
3. Should I refrigerate any of these products after opening them?
4. Lastly, since this is my first cycle, am I overdoing things here? Should I just stick with Test and keep nolva on hand, in case symptoms of gyno appear?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!![]()
