Damn it.

Nice job on the typing of it all and if you stick to this I d say you ll see some real good results...especially the diet...

I d do less Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), more often....

Aromasine on pct...opinions vary....but..

Others will chime in....

Looks good. Most don't run the HCG through out the cycle for first cycle. Really no need unless you don't mind having slightly smaller balls. Just run blast phase at the end. But Id do it 500iu ED for 10 days after your last test injection, then run PCT 4 days after that. No need to front load the clomid. Just do 50,50,50,50. Throw the nolva in as well, 40,40,20,20. NIce job on the research though. Should be a great cycle.

Why wouldn't you take supplements during your cycle and but only during pct?

 

[_Romeo_]

thanks for the input... i will consider doing less HCG... as far as Clomid being at 100/100/100/50... i have enough of it, and been reading that you can't overdo a PCT, so won't hurt i guess... I have Nolva like i mentioned above, and that debate on whether to combine it with Clomid or not during PCT was a long ass debate all over the net. still confused myself, but i just wanted to get going as apposed to stalling there.

Why wouldn't you take supplements during your cycle and but only during pct?

I meant the Creatine just during PCT... rest of supps are everyday... i take them everyday regardless cycle or not.

 

[Teutonic]

chlomid can be a mind fuck.

chlomid can be a mind fuck.

lol looks like my post cycle therapy (pct) is gonna endup with..50/50/50/50 Clomid .... 40/40/20/20 Nolva

 

[rp2100]

apparently my total test is pretty low at 314 and my free test at 73.3.

I remembered that you posted this in a previous thread. I'm curious to see how this cycle works out for you and also to hear what differences, if any, you experience in terms of well-being and how you feel.

I read a post at one point, I think on this board, saying that it is beneficial to use creatine while you're on cycle. It's so cheap that there's no reason not to use it during the cycle as well as through PCT.

tried and true post cycle therapy (pct) option. TBH, next cycle try toremfine. Better on the sides and works just as good as clomid/nolva combo.

Yes.. that was me. I am looking forward to it as well. i am thinking it's a 50/50 chance.

I either feel way better than i ever felt before because i would have more than sufficient Test in my system, OR, since i am on the the edge as far as natty Test, i won't be able to recover fully and my HPTA will be shot and possibly end up on TRT... will see i guess.

You should use creatine on cycle. 15-20g per day .your cycle will enhance creatine synthesis. More gains for you my friend

Romeo, I've been following your posts since you've started here, and I am definitely giving you the stamp of approval for doing your homework. Taking the good advice to forget about the Beastdrol cycle and move onto straight test was the first of many of your good decisions.

As for your cycle, it sounds great to me. If you want to run the hcg during your cycle, that's fine, but it's not really "necessary". As for your PCT dosage of HCG. I think 2500 iu EOD is a little high, as you will certainly recover with as little as 500 iu daily, or 1000-1500 EOD. If you can save a little cash by buying half as much Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), I would, especially since you've chosen to run just test and at a moderate dose, as well as clomid combined with nolva.

You're in good hands mate. Time to get it on.

Oh, one note for creatine: 5g a day tops. There is no need for more. 5g ED will saturate you.

essays... thanks for the support. I did go through a lot of research..... and you still remember the Beastdrol post??!!..wow, that was something.

I almost fell for it, and i really felt like shit when everyone here was telling me to forget it because i had things already setup and was a click away form ordering.

Everyone here @ Ology was more than helpful.. i have spent more time on the forum the past few months than i did with my fiance... But i guess it was worthwhile.

Your input as far as the HCG & Creatine is taken, will lower the HCG and run Creatine throughout the cycle

keep the aromasin in post cycle therapy (pct). drop go 25 the last wk of clomid too.

i was debating whether to keep Aromasin during post cycle therapy (pct) or not... will read a bit more as the subject is debatable.
