Any advice for my first Test E cycle?

[evanesen]

I'm 26 years old and have been working out for 6 years

(5.67ft Bwt 155lbs bf 14%)

I'm planning to start a Test E only cycle and have checked out those sticky threads already

They say 12wks cycle with 500mg Test E/week is recommended for the first cycle but

I've read some posts that only 250mg Test E will work.

What do you recommend about the dosage? will 250mg Test E work for me?

And can I use Arimidex instead of Exemestane as AI? If I can do so, what is the appropriate dosage?
------------------------------------------
My cycle plan is like below for now

- Testosterone enanthate 250mg on Monday, Thursday
- hCG 250IU after testosterone injection on Monday, Thursday
- hCG 1000IU everyday for the last 10 days of my cylce
- Arimidex everyday (what dosage?) for 15wks

PCT after 2.5 wks from the last shot
- Clomifene Citrate 50mg everyday for 4 weeks
- Tamoxifen citrate 40mg every day 2 weeks followed by 20mg everyday for 2 weeks

What do you think about my cylcle?

Thank you for reading this thread!

250mg is just about what your naturally testosterone levels are.. i wouldn't bother if youre gonna do that.. the minimum you should run is 400mg a week..

you dont need to run hcg at 1000iu for the last 10 days.. just run it at 250iu twice weekly and stop when pct starts..

arimidex, you want to run this at .25mg eod to start.. and up it to .5mg eod if you see the ned fo rit..

pct is 2 weeks after last shot.. not 2.5

and pct looks like the gold standard

good work doing the research!

I would use Exemstane personally. Especially since you are going to PCT. The problem with Adex is it binds to the E2 in your system and when your done taking adex it releases the E2 back into your system. Exemstane doesnt do that, it kills the E2.

Most do not like the feeling that they get when they are on PCT now imagine being over loaded with estradiol at the same time.

500mg ew is standard for a first cycle. Do have some adex or another AI. With a minimal dose, you will not need much. I would start at 0.5mg every third day. I feel you will manage any sides that you would experience running 500 mg ew. You may be able to slowly back of the AI and use even less.

As for hcg there are so many schools of thought, it gets pretty confusing, so I will tell you what I do. 250iu a week beginning week 3.

Good to see a sensible first cycle brother.

Good luck.

Actually with test e, pct would start 18-21 days after last pin. Look up pct calculater...

Great job coming prepared with a solid plan and good questions!

Keep the test-e at 500mg... no need for the extra hCG with this cycle.
