Welcome back buddy, hope things get better!

Gentlemen,

I was sent here from bodybuilding.com because apparently this is the place to go for legit help regarding anabolics & their use. I'll keep this short. I am 32 years old. This will be my first cycle (I've done 1-ad, 1-test, etc a decade or so ago).

I've been training seriously for 6-7 years.
I plan to run a modified version of Layne Nortons PHAT routine
My TDEE, diet is down to the macro.
I feel like I've never been more ready to take the plunge.

I have EVERYTHING I'll list currently on hand. I plan to have blood work done before, midway & post cycle.
Please take a look and let me know if you'd tweak anything. I don't have a "start" date as I want to give myself time to make adjustments of need be, I'm not in a huge hurry to pin.
My cycle is very simple.

I plan to run:
Test E wks 1-12 @500mg a week (pin mon & thurs)
HCG @500mg a week (pin w/test e)
Arimidex .25mg EOD starting day 2 of my cycle)

Wait 2 weeks then

Week 15: 75mg clomid ED & 40mg novladex ED
Week 16-18: 50mg clomid ED & 20mg novladex ED

I plan on drawing with a 23g & shooting with a 25 x 1.5 pin

Have liver pro on hand and plan to run it.

I have 100 Thai dbol (10mg tabs) but I don't think I'm going to run them with this first cycle. Save them for another time.

Thoughts? Comments? Help?

Appreciate your time.

wow some one actually has head on shoulders with first cycle... nice to see!!

Looks good to me. shit i might say go 14 weeks, but looks good to me! but read all the threads stuck up top the aas section to go over things : )

Welcome back buddy, hope things get better!

Thank you! 3J has been helping me get a new set of macros worked out so I'm pretty excited to see how I do. He really is right about it being up to the client to make the diet work properly. He can give you all the advice you ask for but in the end it's really up to us to follow what he says.

Only suggestion I have for you is getting 20g needles for drawing your test. 23g is too small and it will be very difficult to pull it into the syringe.

Oh and continue to run the hCG and AI after your last pin up until a day or two before PCT starts.

Looks like you did your homework. Refreshing!!!! Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I've drawn with 25g before. It takes a little longer but still under one minute. Large gauge needles (18g I've used before) can damage the rubber on your tops @ 10 pulls a vial.

You can also put the vial (not fully submerged) in some hot water pre-injection to thin it out slightly.

Just my .02.

I know you can draw with smaller guage needles -- I have done it too. I just find that 20g is about perfect. You are not fighting to get it out of the vial, nor are you gashing the stopper

Just didn't want him to think he had to be all-stop until he got the "correct" drawing needles. The advice of someone with 9000 posts can be seen as the "end-all, be-all" to some people.

Well, isn't it =P

First pin this morning. Went smooth. Drew with a 20g & shot with a 25g. Took probably a minute to empty the syringe but thanks to you guys, I expected that.
