Absolute necessities?

[BoulderShoulders]

Just getting started on a test/deca/drol cycle. Any ideas or opinions on what is absolutely necessary while on cycle as far as nutrition or supps? I understand sleep and hard work are extremely important. I have a decent understanding about caloric/protein and carb intake as well. However, I am here to learn and would greatly appreciate any help.

What are your stats? Height, weight, calorie intake, macro breakdown, ect. I have no cycling experience so not much help there but as far as supps I feel most people can't go wrong with a good fish oil.

5' 10 165 lbs. Calories I usually aim for 3500-4000. Protein I aim for a gram per lb of body weight and carbs I don't really keep track of a whole lot, I'm trying to put on serious mass to get back to where I was so I eat quite a bit of carbs daily. Yeah fish oil is a definite, I'll add it to the list

I know protein intake is quite a controversial topic. That said, if it was me I'd shoot for 200g daily as a minimum.

5000 cal a day. Think steak, potatoes, whole eggs, whole milk, peanut butter etc. Lots of heavy compound movements. Lots of sleep at night. Lots of water. If things get outta control, dial it back. But don't be afraid to put on some pudge.

Good luck.

I hope you get lucky controlling estrogen, cause you are jumping into your first cycle with a lot of compounds. It's not a sure thing you will have issues, but adding deca and drol will throw you some curve balls.

I am kind of curious how you're running everything if this is in fact your first cycle.

This isn't my first cycle gentleman. Although I did take a year or so off the from gym. Just looking to see what everyone else's opinions were. I'm running test at 500 mg ew/ deca at 400 mg ew and drol at 50 mg daily. I am actually in the process of ordering some arimidex for that reason. I shouldve had it before I started, definitely a mistake.

 

[Burrr]

I think your 165# number lead us to believe it was your first.

I hear you, @Burrr . Unfortunately during that year or two off from the gym, I really let myself go downhill mentally and physically due to drugs. I appreciate the feedback everyone, it's greatly appreciated. Any recommendations on which AI is more effective or would work best in this cycle? Looking at Arimidex right now

 

[Burrr]

LOL, some guys would be quick to flame you for asking the classic "which AI is better" question.
adex is easier to dose right, but everyone has their own favorite

and good for you for getting off of whatever drug had you in it's grips.
addiction sucks, no matter what the drug

 

[BoulderShoulders]

Gotcha, didn't mean to sound like a douche but I will admit I'm very uneducated when it comes to AI's. I will have to do some research. Appreciate it, a sober life is definitely much more enjoyable IMO.

if you are gyno prone use letrozol i think thats the one im thinking about. if not adex should be more then enough.
