Hi fellas,
Starting my first AAS cycle today. A bit of a background... I've been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for a few months due to low natty T levels, so aside from doing my first cycle I am also trying a restart of natural T production at the end of cycle that's why my post cycle therapy (pct) looks like it does. I am using cashout's restart post cycle therapy (pct) as a model. If it works, great, if it doesn't well I go back to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and begin to plan my 2nd cycle ;-)
Originally I was planning on starting with a Test/EQ cycle but based on research and recommendations I decided to stick to a basic 12 week test-only cycle for my first time in the game.
So I'm upping my cal intake to about 3,500 cals per day or more, I understand I will need to keep eating as much off cycle to keep the mass I plan to put on. I am looking to bulk up, hopefully hit 205 by the end of the 12 weeks.
Stats:
31 years old
5'8"
182lbs
~17% BF
Cycle:
Week 1-12: 250mg of test cyp every 84 hours (Sun AM, Wed PM)
Week 1-12: 250iu Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) x2 a week (Mon/Thur)
Week 2-12: 12.5mg Aromasin EOD
Week 1-23: PrivateMD female hormone panel lab every 2 or 3 weeks
post cycle therapy (pct):
Week 13-16: 2000iu of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) EOD
Week 17: LAB --- based on natty production will continue with below post cycle therapy (pct) or will lesser it if natty is a no-go.
Week 16-19: 40mg Nolva, 5gm VitC, 50mg Clomid x2 a day
Week 19:21: 40mg Nolva, 5gm VitC
Diet:
6-7 meals per day, a few less during the weekend.
Protonz:
Carbs:
Fats:
Misc:
Training:
4-5 times a week
Planning on lifting heavy with lesser reps than normal, I am probably going to take the 5/3/1 set approach on compounds, bench/squat/deadlift. I normally work 1 or 2 peepz so I can get assistance on the last reps when needed. They are probably going to be like WTF when the T kicks in a few weeks down the road ;-)
I'm not going to go into detail as to all the different exercises but aside from the ones already mentioned, I will be doing 2 body parts per day and try to do chest twice a week as long as the days are far enough apart for recovery purposes.
My weakest muscles are my delts and biceps so I will try to concentrate on those the most.

How does everything look? Anything you guys think I should change? I know that it's best to do a test only cycle but since I'll be running it for let's say 9 weeks to see how my body reacts would it be a bad idea to add 80mg's of Anavar between weeks 9-13? or should I save the PL Anavar for another time?
