First Cycle *Newbie* Test C 500mg

[shute]

Hey MESO

Hopefully I placed this thread on the right board if not sorry in advance.

I've done quite a bit of research thus far and would just like a bit of input on my first cycle. Making sure most if not all ground is covered before my fist pin.

Stats

Age: 30
Height: 5'8
Weight: 178
BF%: 12-14

Cycle

Weeks 1-12
250mg Test C twice a week M/F

Weeks 9-13
250iu HCG twice a week (hopefully help in recovery and retain gains)

PCT

Weeks 14-18
Nolva 40/40/20/20

Gear is from Northern Pharma as well as HCG at an 10000iu bottle

My concerns are; do I need an AI during my cycle? or not necessary based on the low dose of test. Also what are everyone thoughts on introducing HCG during week 9 til one week after last pin of test before starting my PCT? Should the length be shortened or not even needed or kept the way it is? I've heard of people blasting HCG at the end of a cycle but unclear of dosage and benefits or risks from blasting.

Any thoughts and/or help is greatly appreciated. Just want to cover all bases and make sure I'm not running crap gear or crash hard and retain most of my gains. I definitely don't want to stumble first time outta the gate. I'm hopping to start pinning mid march just waiting on Nolva before i do anything.

Yes you need something, lest you want bitch tits. I personally run adex as a preventative measure. Letro if I get lumpy.

hcg I run starting at week 3 and end it week 12-13 (on a 12 week cycle).

Good luck be safe

Thanks Bro
whats a good start for Adex .50mg EOD seem to be what most ppl run

I usually run .5 adex E3D, as I am not very gyno prone, although you won't really know what works best for you until you experiment and have a few cycles under your belt. I think .5 EOD would be a good start. If possible, get bloods prior and during your cycle, monitoring your E2 levels and adjusting accordingly. Good luck!!

Dont start it until at least week 3, unless you want to crash your estrogen and feel like a depressed shithead.

ya I read you cycle log Dale and definitely don't want that happening.
how close are you to finishing up you're cycle? Or are you done? the reason I ask i. I'm wondering if you runing/run clomid and nolva together or just one of them? Is it really necessary to do run both PCT?

I'm in week 7 atm (6 weeks have passed). Going to run clomid and nolva together, supposedly it has a synergetic effect. It's not necessary tough, you can run clomid by itself.

ya I have read that but heard/read even from my source that nolva would be fine by bitself. Is you PCT clomid 100/50/50/50 and nolva 40/40/20/20?

It is. I haven't done much research on nolva so I can't really say. Clomid stimulates your LH so you start producing testosterone, nolva doesn't do that.

Thanks bro appreciate all the help and info
definitely going to run both if it's more beneficial than just nolva

My cycle is going to be pushed back a bit yesterday at the gym while doing dips my sternum popped and couldn't ffinish my workout.. at least didn't happen during my cycle what a waste this would have been if I was out for a week or two during.

Ya got xrays done this morning waiting on results Dr thinks probably just slipped a bit which caused the loud crack hopefully no fractures I don't think there will be. But fingers crossed. Hope just cracked and caused some inflammation and good to go in a week

Is you PCT clomid 100/50/50/50 and nolva 40/40/20/20?

I would run:

Week 1 to 12: hCG @ 250 iu every 3.5 days (500 iu/week total)
Week 1 to 14: Arimidex @ 0.25mg every other day (From day 2 up until PCT starts)

PCT
Clomid @ 75/50/50/50
Nolvadex @ 40/20/20/20
