First cycle and PCT questions

[lucky-boy]

Starting doing 12 week solo test-e cycle. Please review if everything looks good.

Week 1-12: Test-E 250mg 2x/week
Week 1-14: Arimidex - 0.25mgs ED. (I'm going to start it from the 2nd day of the cycle. Will start with 0.25 & move up from there if experiencing gyno or bloating symptoms.)
Week 15-18: Nolva 40/20/20/20
Week 15-18: Clomid 50/50/50/20


In case of gyno first symptoms, can I beat it with Nolva only? Hard to access letro.
How do I crash tabs (1mg arimidex) to smaller dosages?

The other source says to do Clomid @ 75/50/50/50 & Nolvadex @ 40/20/20/20. Which one is better?

I thought about throwing dudasteride or finasteride to prevent baldness, but after research found that it could cause Erect Dysfunction. What would you recommend to prevent baldness?

AI dose might be a little high. What is your age, height, weight and body fat %?

Raloxifene should be kept on hand to combat gyno.

Don't use hair loss drugs. They are bad for you. If you are prone to baldness, AAS will just speed up the process. If you are not prone then it won't do anything.

Get a pill splitter.

You are starting PCT too soon

Why no hCG during cycle?

What is you blood work plan?

I'll do a blood work: 1 week before, in the 7th-8th week of cycle and 6 weeks after PCT.

I'm starting PCT 14 days after last injection. Why is it too soon?

Age: 24
BF: 14% (but will get lower as I'm cutting)
Weight: 88kg
Height: 178cm

>Why no hCG during cycle?

It's my first cycle for 12 week, I think I can get without it. Plus don't want to deal with another injection.

What you wrote in your cycle doesn't show you waiting 14 days to start PCT.

What specific blood work will you run? And if you don't get blood work mid-cycle how will you know if your AI dosage is good?

You should wait until you are 25 years old. Your endocrine system is still developing.

You can always get by without hCG. But minimizing testicular atrophy during a cycle helps speed up recovery after a cycle. It seems silly to not use it, but you don't have to. By the way, you can inject it with your test or subq separately so I wouldn't be scared of two more injections a week. I think if you do some homework on hCG you will see that it should be part of every cycle.

Here is what blood work I'll do:

Free Testosterone
Testosterone total
E2, Estradiol
Luteinizing Hormone, LH



Ok, I'll add hCG @ 250 iu (500 iu/week total) with each test-e injection.


Final cycle:
Week 1 to 12: Test-E 250mg 2x/week (Monday and Thursday)
Week 1 to 12: hCG 250iu 2x/week (Monday and Thursday)
Week 1 to 14: Arimidex - 0.25mgs ED. (I'm going to start it from the 2nd day of the cycle. Will start with 0.25 & move up from there if experiencing gyno or bloating symptoms.)

PCT:
Week 15 to 18: Nolva 40/20/20/20
Week 15 to 18: Clomid 50/50/50/20

Pretty basic first cycle, looks A-Okay.
