Could someone please give a quick rundown of my first cycle?

Get with 3J or Spongy to get your diet all dialed in. At least look around the diet forum to get help.

Light test only cycles work VERY well for people with their diet and routine in check. Go with 500 mg, which isn't really "low" for 12 weeks along with arimidex and hcg. Take 500iu Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and .25-1. mg anastrozole the day after injects.

Post a log so we can follow and get good gear!

I've seen some places that you can start off taking Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) 2x a week, and just increase the frequency (while still not increasing overall dosage) if you notice your junk slowly starting to fade away.... do you think this is bs? Pinning 2x a week would make life easier than having to do it ED (especially because I'm not storing on site)

Yea bro a fast absorbing protein a long with fast absorbing carbs post workout are a must.
But as stated above u should start a log if u have time

I have a log on a different site (under a different screen name etc) but I'll be sure to have a more 'truthful' one over here when the cycle gets up and running. I leave for college in 2 weeks, and will probably give myself another 3-4 weeks to settle in/ figure out my schedule before beginning the cycle

 

[MarkIV92]

Bumping. I appreciate the diet advice, but I'd still like someone to look over/review the cycle.

 

[Youngblood43]

Honestly I think ur cycle is good to go bro! 500mg weekly split into two doses 250mg twice weekly is what is usually recommended for beginners. And as far as your pct why did u rule out novadex? Novadex would be my first option for pct along with hcg. Clomid has more negitive side effects and its just not as powerful on a per mg/ basis, I have used clomid before and needed dosages of around 100mg. But if you'd do clomid maybe something like this. 100/80/50/50. And if you choose novadex, which I would, I'd do 40/40/20/20

 

[MarkIV92]

I'll give nolva another look... but everyone I've seen online who has run a test only cycle recommended clomid so I sorta thought that was a given. I'll give it a second look.

 

[Youngblood43]

Well to each his own...everybody is different u know..both r going to be good SERMS..both should get the job done..but sometimes people have side effects to.one of the two, and from the studies I have seen its usually clomid. But basically you just gotta find what works best for your body brother!

[MarkIV92]

Yes sir..... again I"ll give it a bit more research. While its not a decision I should take lightly... people have tried both with success. Hey, anything is better than otc pct

u have only been a member since july 12 idk about u ''lurking" for a whole year. but ur crazy 19 is stupid young if ur so serious about lifting then you should know paitence and wait till ur atleast 23 ish

 

[Youngblood43]

^^^i think to many people get bashed for their age. I know age is important, yes. But I think some just take it a bit to far. I know countless and countless ammounts of people who have started at 19 and some earlier and they don't regret it. And their hormones go back to within normal range after every post cycle therapy (pct). There have been polls on this subject to..and even polls that show that most people didn't have any sort of growth plate fusion as well aand all developed normally. Like I said age is important tho..but as he said he's already made up his mind, he has. Gone over the risks and feels the benefits out weigh the risks..Ans agree they will if the right steps and precautions are taken...and that is why he is here. Don't bash him..help him!

Agree, definitely would include hcg on cycle. You wont regret it.

 

[Youngblood43]

^^hcg does wonders. If u choose not to use it tho you should still be fine bro. The cycle u want to run isn't a heavy cycle.. but if u choose to use it just know it will kick start ur hpta axis causing ur testes to start functioning again and during pct we want that to happen as quickly as possible!

[thades]

Since no one answered the question you asked earlier, myself included, yes you can pin hcg twice a week, honestly you might be able to get away with e4d or e5d, but the more consistent the better. You can use a slin pin, so the "bore" of pinning, which i dont necessarily agree with, is limited because you probably wont even feel a 29g. You dont need to increase frequency as the cycle goes on unless you choose to do an hcg blast between the end of your cycle and beginning of post cycle therapy (pct), but thats up to you.

 

[Youngblood43]

Hey thades have u had success with doing blast phase toward end of cycle. I remember rreading something on some site that said that doing it towards nd of cycle can effect ur post cycle therapy (pct). But idk if this is true or not.I really don't see how that could be tho..down make sense to me

diet sucks
i wouldnt even count the protien in milk. cals yes.

You don't really need a user name to lurk... Only place I actually signed up for was elitefitness because if you lurk for long enough they won't let you view pages without logging in... but the amount of politics over there is overwhelming

Yeah, I understand that there are risks...and I"ve waited years... but I'm at the point now where I feel the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks... I first started considering it at like 16, lol.

Agree, definitely would include hcg on cycle. You wont regret it.

Its so damn cheap, I really can't find many reasons not to. Do I need to pin it separately if I do it 2x/week... or could I just include it with the test?

 

[MarkIV92]

Why is that? I notice a MASSIVE difference if I get my milk in every day during a week, or if it is substituted with the same amount of calories but not the same protein (vacation, etc)

 

[Youngblood43]

What do mean when you say pin it with the test? If u mean in same syringe, no. Slin pins for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), I use 29g half in. Don't feel a thing, I love it haha. Just inject sub-q..into ur belly fat

 

[MarkIV92]

Well you saved me some embarrassment there... I thought you just injected it intra muscularly like aas, lol
