Am I Ready?

[sparkleys]

Hi everyone, been spending a lot of time researching and reading about different compounds and cycles. I wanted to get everyone's opinion on whether or not I'm ready for a cycle. I'd like to think I'm ready, but realize I can gain more naturally as well. The goal is a fitness model look.

Height: 5'6
Weight: 148
BF%: 12ish?
Age: 26
Training: Ever since high school, been serious for 2 years.
Education: Nutrition background and vying for medical school.
Deadlift: 345 1RM
Bench: 225 1RM
Squat: 255 1RM

Cycle Details:
Week 1 - 12: Test E, 500mg/Wk (Mon & Thurs 250mg each)
Week 1 - 12: Armidex .25 mg/ED
Week 1 - 12: hCG 500 IU/Wk (Mon & Thurs 250mg each)
Week 13 - 14: Off

PCT (Weeks 15-18)
Nolva 40/40/20/20
Clomid 50/50/50/50

I was also thinking about adding 3IU of HGH ED. Thoughts on that?

Pic's aren't showing up bro.

Biggest question i have is how is your diet??

Test E is great for your first cycle but i would run it 12 wks and not 10.

Also your post cycle therapy (pct) needs some work. You need to add clomid in along with the nolva. Clomid at 50/50/50/50 I like to run clomid at 100 the first week and then 50 for last 3.

What kinf od hgh do you plan on running?

Cycle looks good. Just wanted to say that that's an insane difference in the first picture.

I think you can still achieve more naturally, but you're in a lot better shape than some of the people I've seen doing their first cycle

Having a nutrition background, I'm confident to say my diet is superb. I count every macro/calorie with 2lbs of spinach a day. Source is all whole foods. I do have an occasional cheat for sanity. Updated for 12 week Test cycle, and riptropin was what I had in mind for HGH. Also, can you expand more on why I need clomid? I took the post cycle therapy (pct) protocol right from the stickies: "#3 Nolva 40mg for 14 days and then 20mg for 14-28 more days."

Amazing what lighting can do to pics.

I agree that I can achieve more naturally, but definitely am psyched to try gear out as well leaving me to be non-objective in my view. That's why I'm asking for opinions and not rushing into things.

Thanks for the feedback so far.

My avatar is me naturally after my 85 day exhausting competition diet(185lbs day of) 215-220 offseason... I decided to give gear a try. I'm on my 2nd week of 500mg test e (first cycle) and can't wait to see how my results turn out. Learn alot...read read read..and give it hell man.

 

[sparkleys]

Also is it best to split up the hCG 250IU twice a week or one injection 500IU per week?

Correct split it to 250 iu and take it the same day you inject test E.

 

[mike428]

Identical cycle to mine, like mentioned above add in clomid 50/50/50/50 (look into doing 100 the first week...check out the sticky on PCT). Also, hCG go 250 iu split up same days as test shots. Can't comment on the HGH since I don't know much in that area. But other than that, everything looks great.

Btw, nice difference in photos, looking good bro.

Thanks. I actually used your cycle as inspiration along with all the info in the stickies. Any reason why you mention adding clomid? I've read the debates on clomid vs nolva etc etc and just curious as to what made you personally add it in.

just looking at your maxes and body weight you still have TON of progress to make naturally. Maybe think about cycling in a year. My height/weight is close to you and my lifting stats are close to you (higher in some lower in some) but i've only been lifting for a year and I am still going to make a shit load of gains over the next year natty.

 

[creekrat]

Surprised that not much was mentioned about bf%. Every bit of fat that can be cut prior to your cycle will help. AAS isn't exactly easy on connective tissues. I'd say to dial in the diet and get to 15% or so. Then when you do cycle you're already starting lean so you wont puff up and your gains will be more noticeable. Plus you'll feel better by dropping that 5%. I just started cutting via diet and gym so that I can get back to aas after several years off

 

[You mad Bro]

How does it feel to be the same height of an average sloot OP?

Clomid, in many peoples opinion is the far better choice during pct thsan nolva if you were to only use 1 SERM. most people use both, they do two different things. Sure Nolva raises your natty test levels more than clomid but clomid is what "jump starts the boys"
Clomid stimulates your LH levels and gets your HPTA working again which is what is immportant. Clomid is cheap so my advice is to run them both.

in the standard pct that OAK wrote he laid it out nicely at the end.

Rips are the best hgh out there right now so if yours are genuine then go for it. should be a ice cycle

I don't think I'm above 15% at all. Check out my pics, but maybe I'm wrong? I'm cutting for 3 more weeks anyway.

Thanks for the input. I'm definitely leaning towards doing the cycle even though I know I can make more progress naturally. I've kinda been taken from all the research and reading.

Thanks, I reread the thread and see what you mean. I'll be adding clomid 50/50/50/50 along with Nolva 40/40/20/20.

Darkside pretty much just explained it well why you should add clomid. Plus it's so relatively. Are you going to run hCG and armidex during your PCT?

Nope. I was going off this post hCG/AI during the cycle: steroidology.com/forum/classics/47024-my-pct-protocol.html

 

[mike428]

Gotcha, I've seen it used during the beginning of PCT and not used during PCT at all. I'm still debating on how to run it for my first cycle. Just wanted to see what your reasoning was.

Ehh... at least you have good spelling/grammar and seem to educated/willing to learn. Good luck and make a log so we can watch your progress (i'm interested)

Will do, thanks.

As for the riptropin HGH, 3IU/ED for about 6 months good? From what I've read, its best to be on it for a longer time. Haven't seen anything on stopping HGH during PCT either.
