First Cycle - Couple of questions

[Noname121]

Hi guys been looking for a while but first post. I have been training since i was 16-17 on and off I am now nearly 24. Basically i was around 185 and around 7-8% body fat i then signed up for a boxing match cut the weights off lost a lot of size and strength over a 4 month period ( Thankfully won the fight by ko ) I am back into the weights and looking to get bigger and leaner than before. So first cycle i am thinking

Week 1-12 Test E 2x250 shots
Arimidex every day .25mg ( good idea? I see contrasting ideas )
HCG 2 shots a week ? ( Again same as above ) Or just in PCT?
PCT WEEK 14 Clomid 50/50/50/50 and Nolva 40/40/20/20

Also will be getting blood work done before hand and after PCT i can post the link to the blood work company if that is allowed to see if it covers everything you guys think is needed?

So I do have questions and am open for any suggestions this is new to me and i am not jumping in without having everything in place!

Thanks guys!

You should be doing bloods mid term to see if you need to tweak you AI. (6)) six weeks in , about.

Arimidex is strong .25 mgs ED is strong. I think you should start at .25 EOD . or .125 ED. and monitor.

How much test will you run a week? I'd recommend 250 2x/wk. also consider running your first cycle for 16 weeks. That ester won't kick in until week 5 at least.

I agree with OMM, start Adex at .25 oed. Hcg 2x/wk at 250iu. Hcg is not for pct. I cannot speak to your pct protocol because I'm a TRT lifer. Looks too short though. Somebody else will chime in.

What's your weight and bf currently? Where do you want it to be post-cycle?

What are your views on HCG twice a week?

Exactly 250 x2 shots a week keeping it nice and basic!
Perfect i will put the arimidex to .25 EOD would you start the HCG from week 1?

I am around 180lbs and about 9-10% body fat

I am looking for a solid 190lbs and just really lean for my end goal

Hcg from day one. Pin it when you pin the test for simplicity.
Consider my suggestion of going 16 weeks.
Plan on getting mid cycle blood work- good to know where your estradiol is so you can adjust the Adex if needed.
Gaining 10 lbs of lbm shouldn't be an issue. With proper diet you could gain more. Make sure you have your macros planned out and track them. If you need help setting your daily caloric needs check out the diet forum.

Good luck and keep us posted.

ok thanks mate! Would you stop the HCG at the same time you pin the last shot of test ? then wait the 2 weeks and in to PCT? I will look a lot more into the PCT if you think its too short I don't want to mess about with it!

 

[Gainjin260]

Read the stickies for pct stuff. Again, I'm in TRT so I don't ever stop hcg and I don't do pct.

 

[oldmusclemike]

Sorry man I can't help with HCG I never have used it. Others will chime in today.

Keep pinning the HCG up to 3 days before starting PCT - short half life.

Run your ai along with hcg up to pct like bib ben has mentioned. Read the ology faq's thread for more clarity on what you need to know...
