Cycle Advice

[Jay-WB]

Hi Guys,

This is my first post on here....looking for a little advice with a cycle I plan to put together. My stats are 22 years old (i know a lot will say im too young), 6ft2in, 14stone, lifting for a few years now, currently training a 3 days split repeated covering all major compound lifts.

I plan to run a cycle of 500mg Test E for 12 weeks, however I could do with some advice with regards to post cycle therapy (pct), also will an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) such as Aromasin be needed EOD?

Yes you will need a post cycle therapy (pct), yes you will need an AI... I would look at the stickies as there is tons of information about this (or use the search bar to look at previous threads similar to this)

 

[fancyhuh101]

use either aromasin or arimidex as ur Aromatase inhibitor (AI) , and pct clomid and nolva for 4 weeks

How does this look? feel free to suggest any improvement....

Week 1-12 Test E 500mg
Week 1-12 Aromasin 12.5mg EOD
Week 14-18 Clomid 50mg

I'm on my first cycle as well.. So take what I say with a grain of salt. I read a lot though and I can, at the very least, tell you what I've been experiencing thus far and what my plan is.
I think aromasin is something you have to play with. I've been taking 25.0mg EOD.. and it SUCKS! It is the most recommended dose I have found, but it is very obviously too much for me. So, I plan on dropping to 6.25 EOD and adjusting from there. I've read that having low bodyfat requires less aromasin, but I have not found a lot of great science behind it. I know that I have very low bodyfat and that the dose I am taking is kicking my ass. It hurts my fingers to type.. joints are so sore.

I will be taking the aromasin through post cycle therapy (pct).. as of now.. we'll see anyway.
Also, for my first two weeks of post cycle therapy (pct) I'll be taking 100mg clomid and 20 mg nolva.
The last two weeks will be 50mg clomid and 10 nolva.
Maybe I'll make it through post cycle therapy (pct) before you get there.. if so, I'll be happy to let you know how my ride went.

Too young and yes, post cycle therapy (pct) is a must.

Other than the aromasin problems, the cycle is going well. A few days ago I started seeing some strength gains. I suspect not as well as I would if I had my E2 in check. I've gained a few pounds. Not that a few pounds is anything to look down upon, but again I think it will improve as I get my estradiol in check. I'll keep you updated!

It because the more fat you have, the more estrogen you have...because estrogen loves hanging out in fat cells.
