Cycle for a rower

[towerstowers]

Was wondering what yal think of this cycle. Keep in mind this is an in-season cycle for athletic purposes (i am rowing in college) and I just want recovery, maybe some strength, and definitely increase my RBC. I am 162 lbs. I have to weigh in at 165 before races since I am lightweight, so cannot gain too much muscle or water.

100mg Test E
200mg EQ
for 12wks followed by clomid for 4 wks.

Another question of mine is should I take a little arimidex to stop bloating or will it be nonexistant with these low dosages?

Will you be tested?

My first thought is wondering if you are subject to random testing, because if you are, that wouldn't be a wise cycle due to long esters.

Have you cycled before, have any Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) history? There are several things to consider here, but bottom line I would consider 100mg test prop and NPP eod if you wanted to use injectables, and if not then probably 50 mg Winstrol (winny) ed, however you must consider liver/cholesterol sides are greater with winny.

As far as using an Aromatase inhibitor (AI), it depends on your sensitivity to estrogen sides when on test, but most wouldn't need any on this cycle.

If I'm wrong, somebody please correct me, but I believe most all Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) have the ability to increase RBC.

I personally dont think that's nearly enough test per week for what you want. I'd bump it to 200mg at least. Besides that, looks good. EQ is good for rowers. You dont need Arimidex, you shouldnt have a problem with bloating.

I would suggest test and Winstrol.

i would not suggest short term esters for anyone who has no cycle experience. hitting your virgin muscles eod with prop is no good

Ok so it sounds like ill be going with TEST E 200mg and EQ 200mg. anyone think id be better off with just test and EPO?

You do know that there are side effects with EPO's right?

wouldnt even bother with that cycle. Eq is pretty worthless below 500mg a week and test is a mass builder with long detection time. You cant gain more than 3 pounds and if you run test you will most likely retain more than that in water.


Why not just run Anavar @ 40mg day for a couple months? its in and out of your system fast and its a great strength steroid.

Rower if you really are doing this just for rowing i'd seriously recommend just EQ at 600mg per week and some post cycle therapy (pct) to get your balls working again when you come off. EQ in my experience has a strong capability to boost your muscular as well as cardio vascular endurance. If yuo're doing this for rowing and not bodybuilding, test may work against you in that you will be retaining a lot more water than you might want to be holding

Really? Explain to me how this is true? Test is test, and if the difference is in the ester and release times, why is it bad to use a short estered test with the advantage of stopping immediately and have it clear out if the sides are more than you can handle?

Just curious on your reasoning.

TL

As for the suggestion on straight var at 40mgs/day...I agree. Only because of the purpose of use- I would not normally recommend an oral-only cycle.

 

[passthetest]

what would you like me to explain? why short esters arent good for a first cycle?... having to hit yourself eod with no experience could be a very difficult task for a first time user. The users body could take an extended period of time to recover from the soarness of injections due to the fact that it is a virgin muscle,as a result of this the user may have to inject places where he/she might be uncomfortable such as lats/biceps/ traps..and although i have had no person problems with it, test prop is known for causing unusual pain and extended soarness...so no offense to you towers, i dont think some one who is incapable of desgning their own cycle should be forced to hit themself eod

i hear ya. im not incapable of designing a cycle, I am just seeking the opinions of more experienced individuals than myself.

I have tried running a var cycle of 40mg per day last spring for 8 weeks, and I was crippled by the pumps that I received while rowing. If you have ever rowed you know that even without any supplements your entire body can get pretty pumped from the repetitive strokes. That is why I am looking at more of a long ester test + RBC increasing roid for this spring. So far I am leaning toward:

200mg Test E
200 or 300mg Deca or EQ (not sure which?)
(12 weeks)

 

[passthetest]

yah i understand imo i think your low test and 300 eq would be best

Alot of good advice already but I'll chime in on the Avavar issue. One word, HALO! Halotestin is a great alternative to anavar (strength wise). As an athlete I've used it several times w/great results in the strength department, better muscle endurance, and my cardio seemed to improve a bit... a little more vascular as well. No increase in weight worries, no bloating, and no crippling pumps. It's similar to anavar minus the severe pumps.
You could add it to any inj cycle easily. You could run it 4 weeks at 30-40mg daily or 20mg daily for 6 weeks.

ok so you weigh 162 and cant go over 165??? taking test at a moderate or average dose seems kinda risky since the water can put you over 165. Like you mentioned above a cycle of eq with a low dose of test seems like a good choice. Or like jayC mentioned, a cycle with some halotestin can be very productive for your situation. The drug produces great strenght and endurance gains with no wieght gains. Its very popular of athletes who absolutley have to stay within a weight class like boxers, wrestlers, ect
