cycle advice

[anabolic19]

hey there, first post!

been reading a lot over the years on how to cycle, basically the ins and outs of aas.
its now come time for myself to begin one.
at the end of april i was looking to start a cycle to put on some mass, looking to compete next march so im gonna need all the size i can get. right now im 24 years old, 5'11. my weight fluctuates from 200-190. i eat on a strict meal plan, i have hired someone to make my meal plans based on all my measurements, body caliper results, as well as my overall goal.

as of right now i want to use the following:
Test Enanthate: weeks 1-12 500mg/week
Dianabol: weeks 1-4 40mg/day

i will have arimidex on hand, as well as nolvadex/clomid

PCT:
Nolvadex: 40/40/30/20 ?
Clomid:50/50/40/30 ?

as well as i will have arimidex on hand for any water retention and gyno worries.

if anyone could give that a look over and maybe point me in the right direction of success or any pointers that would be much appreciated.

The first thing I would do is drop the Dbol. For your first cycle you want to run Test only to see how your body reacts, since test will be the base of all future cycles.

Honestly, I would suggest waiting another year before you start, just because I think you probably have some more natural gains to make.

What's your BF%?

i would keep clomid at 50 dont taper it down dont run dbols first cycle keep it just test

 

[TheMinister]

If you are considering competing you must have a very good base already. I'd go with test only, but I am not from the test only first cycle camp. If you are to do dbol, up it to 50.

A test only cycle for someone who I imagine is pretty stocky already will do wonders. Probably enough.

my bf% is probably around 9-10 right now, i'm cutting down right now from a previous superdrol cycle. wanted to cut some extra weight before starting this cycle

 

[TheMinister]

Just do test only, you're gonna look mean. Huge gains expected on the first cycle

 

[anabolic19]

my trainer was the one who suggested go the dbol route, its what he did his first cycle, now hes a professional bodybuilder, i dont go against what he says most times, but i wanted a second opinion

 

[TheMinister]

My first cycle was dbol and test e

I did dbol for six weeks at 50mg and test e 600 for 16 weeks.

 

[weights=life]

if you wanna compete you BETTER have a PERFECT diet....

 

[anabolic19]

and? what do you say minister?

 

[TheMinister]

I would get your diet in check like weight=life says. The rest is up to you. There's plenty of info around, I wasn't in the shape you are in when I did my first cycle. I probably wouldn't do the dbol.

 

[Weights]

are you doing a log bro?

 

[anabolic19]

when it comes time to doing the cycle i'll log it for you guys.
still not sure what to do, i wanna use the dbol, simply because i know its potential, but you guys are experts, you have experience.
final decision?

 

[anabolic19]

like i posted earlier weights=life, i have a physique consultant who makes my diet plan for me, i follow it strictly, hes a professional bodybuilder.

 

[Spongy]

9-10% at your weight is decent. if your diet is perfect i would still say test only. wait and add the dbol to your 3rd or 4th cycle as a kicker. you never know how you will respond to a cycle, and by doing test only you will be able to know how the test alone is affecting you. if you do more than 1 compound for your first cycle and have bad sides, you won't know if it's the dbol or test that's causing them.

 

[prophet]

you've gotten several final opinions. they're all the same. don't bother with the dbol, you don't need it, and it'll only get in the way of your understanding of how the test is affecting your body.

was sitting at about 8%.. ran a cycle of superdrol with halodrol. needless to say i gained quite a bit of weight. at the end i kept all of my gains but retained a lot of fat too. still trying to drop it down.

FYI, SD and Halodrol, should not be run together. Yes, Halo is milder. But you just ran two methylated compounds at once... One of them being Superdrol, which is incredibly rough.

Have you gotten blood word done since finishing?

 

[TheMinister]

Tell you what though, you should run a log with pics. I'd love to see how you go from where you are now, to what you will be after your cycle.

 

[anabolic19]

yes, had blood tested before, during and after.
enzymes elevated quite a bit, i was running liver supports so it wasnt as bad as it could have been, i do admit, not the smartest choice. the only thing that really showed as a side effect was the decrease in test levels post cycle. they diminished significantly
