So, I decided to get aboard the AAS train and do my first true cycle.
Stats are as follows :
Height : 5'11
Weight : 216
Bodyfat : 13%

First Cycle Planned: (12 wks)
Test E 500mg, 250mg Mon/Thurs
Extemestane 12.5mg ED 12wks
HCG 500iu weekly, 250iu pinned w/ Test E

PCT: (2-3wks after last test pin)
Tamox:50mg ED 4wks
Clomid:40mg ED 2wks, 25mg ED 2wks

Diet plan: Solid 40/40/20 (P/C/F) ranging from 3000 to first couple of weeks on test e, than later bumping to around 3500-4000

Also, this is my first post, so any criticism/feedback is appreciated... Thank you all in advance!

How old are you?

I would bump it up from 400mg of test weekly. 500-750mg weekly would be better. And I agree on not using Test400 due to the PIP. Get something dosed at 250mg/ml.

Have you done pre-cycle blood work yet? Know what to run and how to get it? And do you have a plan for mid and post cycle blood work?

I'm 23 currently. I do know it's a bit early for an actual AAS cycle, but I have done a fair bit of research and just observation, etc, from people who have done it before... Also have waited quite a while. Been training seriously for around 2 and a half years. Been weightlifting total for around 6. Have done pre-cycle blood work, all seems to be fine, esp by the doc's standpoint, even though liver enzymes were up a bit - drinking a couple nights before didn't help, lol. I did not ask for any specifics to be run, he just ran everything I believe, including test levels, free test, and SHBG. I believe the test is dosed at 250mg/ml, I apologize if I confused you guys due to that fallacy. (First time doing this, obviously, ha) I still do want to run 200mg of test e 2x per week, Mon and Thurs, as stated... Mid-cycle blood work I will do about 6wks in - correct me if I'm mistaken - to see if everything is where it needs to be. Same goes for post cycle. I have ralox on hand just in case of gyno as well. Would there really be a huge difference between 400mg and 500mg of test wkly? Personally, I just do not want my body to become acclimated to test so fast I will have to continuously boost the Test (will happen anyways, but I'd prefer to play it safe), thus the 400mg weekly. Hopefully I'm not saying something completely stupid about anything here... haha. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Want to have a good experience, or at the very least, not the worst experience for my first AAS cycle. Thank you!
 
Looks like you've done your HW, glad to hear you actually have blood work done pre cycle!

As well that you are getting levels tested mid cycle, insure e2 in check, test is legit, and overall health. 6 weeks is plenty.

Many many UGLs are under dosed unfortunately... ran into this myself, a brand my buddy swore by saying it was the best he'd ever run was 1/4th what it should've been. After sharing my experience with some friends turns out a lot of us had under dosed to some degree. 4 labs... I will never touch again haha.
Why mega probably recommended taking 500-750...because its very likely that might be 300-500.

As for you building a tolerance... that's not how this works. Androgen receptors will up regulate and prolong life. Obviously there is a limited return on this so yes If you can gain weight at 400mg then there is no reason to bump up. My worry would be that 400mg will basically put you at a trt dose which is useless. If your levels are normal.
Just my .02c, not trying to scare... bloods will tell you everything. Hope you have an awesome cycle man.
 
Stick to 500mg a week buddy - it not only makes measuring it out easier, but if you are going to be suppressing your own Test (which is likely to be quite high at your age) you want to be replacing it with a dose that will produce reasonable results.

Good luck with what looks to be a well thought out and sensible first cycle :)
 
Thanks for all of your advice! I will bump to 500mg/wk now and found out how that goes! Would any of your recommend a kickstart for my cycle? I have been 50/50 on using a very very mild ph - I would prefer not to pin myself 10x (exaggeration) a week, lol. I have run about 3 ph cycles back in the day - I do know many people on steroidology hate them - but I got pretty clean gains with them, with decent dieting and of course, the proper PCT. For a kickstart, I was thinking many a non methyl ph - perhaps Epistane, or even 30mg of DMZ ED - even though thats methylated. Thank you again guys! Much appreciated!
 
Was about to say haha.. epi and dmz are absolutely methyl. Prohos by themselves no, I rather use real orals in a cycle but I have had awesome results with trenavar and dmz. Again I would always prefer, real orals...Proho manu are more sketchy then ugls haha
 
You should wait until you are 25 years old. You brain / endocrine systems are still developing. Running a cycle while they are still developing can really mess them up and put you on TRT for the rest of your life.
 
Even though I have ran several ph cycles? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but both would produce excess amounts of test than normally possible - even though pro's I would only take for around 1 months, whilst AAS I will be on for around 12wks. Also, I have read several opinions as well as oral opinions that the ages differ from 22-25 depending how on well you are developed - any feedback? Thank you.

How did you measure how well your HPTA is developed? Did you get an MRI of your pituitary? How about your frontal lobe?

I am not talking about your height or wrist size.
 
Honestly, neither. It is just what i have read/heard. That is why I asked for feedback. Would prohormones not do the same thing to my HPTA as well, however? I realize the huge differences between pros and AAS - but then again, is why I am asking.

looks like you did a good job of putting the general basics to your 1st cycle together. now, it iwll be if you are ready to suppress the natural production. If you start, best of luck and kick ass
 
i agree with the recommendation to wait.. youre just a bit too young... we are saying it for you brother!!
 
Appreciate your feedback! Any particular reason why, however? Same reasoning as Megatron (which is good reasoning, btw) ? Would gear has that much more of an impact as say, 2-3 'proho' cycles done with correct PCT? (spaced evenll, 2-4 months btwn cycles)
