Improvised Cutting Cycle

[Equinob]

So it's Summer, and I'm sitting around 14% body fat, and would like to get it down to 8-9% without losing my winter gains.

Unfortunately, my source cannot obtain tren, mast, or var at the moment to do a traditional cutting cycle. So I'm thinking about improvising a cutting cycle around Test and t3, something like this for 6 weeks or so:

400mg/week Test C (once weekly)
25mcg T3 daily
250iu eod hcg
12.5mg aromasin daily

followed by 4 week pct of nolva/clomid

So a couple of questions: does this seem a reasonable substitute cycle? Also, do I need to start hcg & AI from day one? Or should I wait a few days? I’m thinking my my natural test isn’t going to start shutting down immediately, and the hcg would otherwise be wasted? Likewise for the AI that won’t be needed until the test starts aromatizing?

Also, I've never run T3, so with the amped metabolism, should I plan to do as much cardio as I am now, which is about 20-30 minutes 5-6/days week? Diet is super clean running at a calorie deficit under maintenance.

I'd front load the test, and maybe even run it higher, but that's on you. If you use t3 and diet and cardio is on point you'll be fine. I'm to experienced on hcg, but you shouldn't need it until at least 2 or 3 weeks in. Ai maybe 10 days in. Start out with a really low dose and see how you feel. Is your ai research or pharmacy grade?

Everything is pharm grade, Test C, T3, ai, hcg, and Clom/Nolva. And yes, I may front load the test.

I just discovered that my T3 is actually NOVOTHYRAL, each tab comprised of 20 mcg T3 and 100 mcg T4. I understand I should dose it like 50mcg T3 only tabs, but I may just start with 1 tab, work up to 2 tabs and then back down to 1. My understanding is the T4 is supposed to prevent the need to ramp down after a higher dose, but I will still do it as everything I'm reading about T4 seems to be mixed opinion.

As for the hcg, the general consensus I'm finding is that I should run it from the beginning so my natural test production never has a chance to dip. With only 400mg of Test added to my system during the first week, it seems like my natural production wouldn't start shutting down immediately.

With the AI, you're probably right, I shouldn't need it until I see some bloating, and I should start taking it, but in any event after the first week. My last cycle I front loaded 900mg of TriTest, and bloated up within days. My natural test likely shut down pretty quickly too.

Bottom line seems to be that I will need to see how my body responds to all of it and adjust accordingly. However, I'm at an age where I'd rather play it safe than sorry with hcg.
