Mr1 first cycle

[Mr1]

Hi everyone

This is my first ever cycle.
I've been going to the gym 3 times a week for the last two years and learned to lift and got my diet under control. I've gained 25 kg in 2 years and very happy with my results.

My stats:
Ectomorph
6'7" tall
30 years old
12.8% body fat
Weight 94 kg / 207 lbs
Muscle mass 77.7 kg / 171 lbs
BMI 23.2
Good hair genes in family
Very mild acnee sometimes (thinking about starting accutane a week before the cycle).

Current diet: 2000 calories. Once on cycle, I'm going to increase this to 3200 calories.

Health status:
I'm very healthy overall, except a few small things. My recent blood test showed that my:
HDL cholesterol is small 0.85 mmol/L
Protein SHBG is small 13.4 nmol/L
Red blood cells RDW is 11.1 %.
Dr said everything else looks normal so I shouldn't be concerned.

Testosterone levels on 22 Nov 19.
FSH: 4.13 IU/L
LH: 7.26 IU/L
Oestradiol: 111 pmol/L
Testosterone: 12.6 nmol/L
Free testosterone calc: 0.359 nmol/L
Prolactin: 235 mU/L.

Had a vasectomy so children not on my list.

Would like to keep my balls size, but if there's benefits to let them shrink (?) I don’t mind having small balls and also not interested in competing.

For my first cycle, I am planning to do:

Week 1-9:
Test e 500 mg / week (250 mg Monday and 250 mg Thursday).
250 iu of HCG two times a week, the day after injecting test e.
0.5 mg of Letrozole every other day.

Liver support pill (liver pro) every day.
Optional 600 mg vitamine E and 20 mg of Zinc daily to stop hair loss.

Week 10:
100 mg testosterone propionate: 3 times a week.
250 iu of HCG Monday and Wednesday only.
0.5 mg of Letrozole every other day.

Week 12:
100 mg of testosterone propionate monday and Wednesday only.
0.5 mg Letrozole Tuesday and Thursday only.

End of week 12 quit test prop and Letrozole but continue to take 75 mg aspirine daily and 2 omega 3 a day.

Have 10 days break from everything and start pct. Stop taking aspirine when I start pct cycle but continue to take 1 omega 3 daily during pct.

First day of PCT:
300 mg of chlomid in first day and then 30 mg of chlomid every day for 30 days.

100 mg Nolvadex first day and then 30 mg daily for 30 days.

4000 iu (international units) vit D every other day along with vit K2.

All this cycle info was gathered from YouTube so I'm very open to changes.

Critique / Words of wisdom needed:

Is this OK or I need to change / replace, add / get rid of anything?

Do I still need HCG if I had a vasectomy?

I see some people take dbol as well on their first cycle because of their virgin receptors. Would you recommend I take too or shall I stick to test e only?

Because of my job, I cannot store gear in the fridge. Is this going to affect me in any way?

For HCG, do I need to buy some special water to mix it? Do I buy that from the source or I can buy it over the counter?

What size needles and syringes I need / you recommend?

I’m attaching my bloodwork done Friday 22.11.19 + some recent body stats + a recent picture of myself.

I will keep answering and updating this log for all my cycle period so others can learn from my experience.

Thank you in advance to everyone who is going to answer some of my questions. I appreciate every bit of information. I apologise if I can't reply immediately, I'm an workaholic.

P.S. How do I get that AnabolicLab supporter badge? I really want to get involved in this community.

0.5mg of letro EOD seems overkill to me. I would stick to arimidex

You mean I should replace Letrozole with Arimidex? Same dosage EOD? Someone else told me that so I think I'll change it to Arimidex. Thank you!

Letro is for serious E2 problems....Arimidex or Aromasin is the standard.

No one can tell you the right dosage because everyone is different... only bloods can tell. If you're lucky you might not even need it, but I would start with 0.5mg eod and take bloods mid cycle to check e2 so you know how to proceed

 

[Btcowboy]

I wouldnt take any AI until you need it. For me it's about 4 weeks in on the blast.

 

[Waduhek]

Imo not taking an AI at all is not a good idea, if you're a guy who aromatizes a lot (like me) your e2 could skyrocket and get out of hand, and believe me you dont want to experience high estrogen sides. But do what you want

I will take 0.5 mg of Arimidex EOD just to be on the safe side. I'll do my blood test after 6 weeks on cycle and take it from there.

 

[Jurgen]

Crashing your e2 on your first cycle isn’t something I’d want to experience. Maybe try .5 mg on pin days and then see where your at with mid cycle bloods.

 

[Jurgen]

As far as some of your other questions im using 25g 5/8” but I’ve seen recommendations of 27g 1” to slin pins if ur bf% is low enough.
As for the hcg depending where you got it from should come with the bacteriostatic water and you just reconstitute with 1cc to 5cc depending on the concentration you want. Also You don’t need to run hcg the entire cycle. The last 2-4 weeks would be fine. You could also drop the clomid after 2 weeks and just run the nolva, up to you.
The pct looks ok but the doses seem a little off, clomid 50mg a day and nolva 20mg a day .

I did this and it sucks. Now I dont take until I need it. I also found that .25mg adex every 3 days is my sweet spot on 500mg and over test

Yes absolutely drop the letrozole and replace with arimidex. Save the letrozole for an unforseen emergency. Its very powerful and could easily crash your e2 if not educated properly on these compoun

On 500mg of test I honestly might not even need an AI. But do find when running it higher or stacked with other compounds that its normally around week 4-5 when I'll start to introduce about AI

 

[Waduhek]

Lol I need 1mg of adex ED when I'm on 500mg test.

 

[Btcowboy]

Lol I need 1mg of adex ED when I'm on 500mg test.

Exactly, proving the point that everyone is different

 

[Waduhek]

Yes indeed, of course i'm not suggesting to take my amount, but saying he won't need an AI is not safe in my opinion. That's just my 0.2

With your stats and only eating 2000 cals you really just need to eat more. Eat 2700cals for the next 6 months. You’ll probably gain just as much as this cycle. Ectomorph basically means you’re a under eater with low appetite.

The hard work isn’t in the gym or using gear it’s in the kitchen.

 

[Mr1]

Thank you all for suggestions.
I'm definitely replacing Letrozole with Arimidex. Take Arimidex 0.5 mg only on the day of injection (probably from 2nd week) and see how I feel and what blood tests say mid cycle.
Drop the clomid (50 mg / day) after 2 weeks of PCT and just continue with Nolva 20 mg / day.

Regarding HCG, because of my circumstances I cannot store it in a fridge / freezer. Is there any way I can go around that problem, other than using an amp of 1500 IU once for 250 IU and discard it?

I fully agree with you on that. It's something I'm currently planning / working on.

I believe it must be kept refrigerated. I used to fly with mine in mini ice packs.
