cycle / diet question fixed

[The Phone Guy]

Am starting a 10 week cycle.
How many calories a day do I need to take in?
Any good diets to try?

Stats:

Weight 165
Height 71"
Age 37
18% body fat
Worked out on & off since 1988
Now I work out 3 days a week for 14 months/60 min each time
I can eat, eat, eat & if I only eat twice a day for a couple days, I start to lose it pretty quickly.


Dosage fixed:

I'm injecting: (Prescribed)
Deca Durabolin 200mg/1cc a wk for 10 weeks
Testosterone Cypionate 200mg/1cc a week for 10 weeks
Then Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) @ 1000 iu a day for 10 days, 2 weeks after cycle

This was supposed to be what I needed to post. I don't have all this speak down yet. A little break would be good. I'm here to collect what's right & what's wrong. I don't want to do the higher doses because of the side effects. Small nuts, hair loss, acne and so on. I don't want to become a muscle head, just a healthy looking, feel great, lean, cut kind of guy. I want to use the test with the deca so my girlfriend doesn't look elsewhere when I can't perform. She likes it 2-3 times a day. Now that my cycle is fixed and you have a better description of what I'm after, what do you think?

How many calories ? ......that is dependant on what you take in now for maintenance, you have to adjust that number up or down, depending on what you're goals are, bulking or cutting.

That is NOT a cycle I would ever recommend to a first time user.

Stick with a Test only cycle and learn how you react to it, before ever stacking.

For a detailed explanation of why, see this thread.....Why Test only for a first cycle....


IMHO, with a weight of 165 & 18% bf, you really need to tune in your diet before you ever start a cycle of any kind.

Is this your first cycle? Even if it is, I would say you are going a tad bit on the low side with those doses. You need to at least double the test.

As far as the calories go. Don't count em just eat as much as you can. If you're not growing, eat more. It always works for me. Just remember, you have to eat a pound to gain a pound.

I'd forwarded the two steroid descriptions from the steroid profiles section of this web site in addition to some of the comments I've seen in the forums to my doctor... Below is his reply. Figured maybe some of you may have an opinion of his response...

Rob,

First of all there in no way to guarantee that you will not experience any side effects. The doses we prescribe are designed to give you the maximum benefits with the least likely chance of side effects. The reason you would deal with us is that you will be monitored throughout your cycle. If by chance you do experience any problem we can nip it in the bud. Rest assured you do not go from no problem to having gyno without many warning signs in between. Most side effects are the result of the excess testosterone aromatizing into estrogen. There are several ancillary drugs to prevent that if needed. I would doubt that we would ever need to worry about that in light of the fact that you will be doing only 200mg a week. The 200mg a week will shut down your natural test production thus the need for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) when cycle is over I can tell you this. If you stick to what we tell you this will be a rewarding experience for you. You will look and feel better. The problems normally arise from two things. Number one is that some people have the mentality that if I do 200mg and get bigger and feel better then if I do 400mg I will feel even better and get even bigger and then If I do 600mg and so on and so on. The other problem is the result of doing oral steroids. Very toxic to the liver. I have never allowed any of our patients to go that route. We are here for anti-aging not for strictly muscle building. We like to think that muscle building is a side effect. I promise you that you will feel better, your sex drive will go through the roof, you will be more confident, sleep better and have bigger muscles and less fat.

We are a licensed medical clinic and have over 5000 patients. Your meds will be prescribed by a doctor that specializes in anti-aging. If you still want to proceed I have found a lab in MXXXXXX VXXXX for you to get blood work done. We will see exactly where your testosterone levels are at and go from there. Call me (xxx) xxx-xxxx

Finally, I believe this is a good doctor who is knowledgeable & is a GOOD source. He's not trying to cram high doses at my expense. I realize stacking is not recommended for a first time, but would you agree that under medical supervision, this would be safer than just winging it?
