alright guys. after months of researching and the exp date closing in on my test, i'm locking in my cycle. i'm coming off a 6 month cut and ready to lean bulk. only looking to add around 15lbs and hopefully maintain 10-12lbs overall.

mon: chest/back
tues: bi/tri
wed: legs
thu: chest/back
fri: cardio
sat: shoulders/abs
sun: cardio

No access to HCG. i know i wish i did. don't suggest it. already exhausted myself looking. No funds to add more test either. working with the 4000mgs available.

Any issues comments or concerns or am i ready to roll? i tried to set this up best i could from my research, i just want that final input before i chisel in stone. thanks guys! also a solid ref on AG since most refs i found were fairly old.

cheers!

In a perfect world, you'd be able to run 500MG for 12 weeks but given the supplies in hand I would run 400mg for 10 weeks and skip the taper at both ends. If your gear is any good, you'll still see good results.

it's US pharma grade from a TRT script. no worries there. since it's cyp i read it's better to elongate the cycle with a taper since the long esther. should i just cut to 10 weeks?

.5 Adex EOD would be a bit much for some on 400mg test per week. I would start at .25 (but that's based on my own usage) if it's worked for you in the past and kept E2 in range then stick with it.

As above, don't taper..... Blast for 10 weeks instead "keep levels steady"

 

[GixxerSixxer]

noted. i'll change to 10 weeks at 400

i'll also drop dex to .25 and increase at the first sight of sides. first cycle. no idea on if i'm prone to gyno. don't want to leave it to chance. i just cut 50lbs, i don't want my tits back

Research the symptoms of high/low E2 and it will give you a good idea. Low E2 is just as bad (worse for me) than high E2.

And why pre and mid cycle bloods are always recommend to help dial in (not just to see if gear is good like most think lol)

 

[GixxerSixxer]

great point. i have bloods scheduled for a week before, week 7(when cyp should be stable) and week 20(2 weeks after last day of pct)

I don't get the tapering up and down.

In most cases I would not taper down. Since you don't have hcg. Running 200mg the last 2 weeks, you may not crash as hard. You have a chance to reduce blood levels before your last pin.
I see no reason to start with 200mg though. Start with 400.

Good luck

 

[GixxerSixxer]

thank you. it was just to elongate the cycle. without hcg should i just make it an 11 week cycle and run 2 weeks at 200mg at the end to ease out of the crash?
