Hey all,
I have recently discovered that I have low testosterone after having some bloodwork done by my doctor. He immediately put me onto Androgel, and I've been using about 2 grams per day since, per his instruction. For various reasons, Androgel is proving not to be ideal for me, so I decided to make the switch into injectables. I lucked out with the doctor, and so I don't think that it will be an issue getting a scrip for test before I start this cycle. The reason for the prescription will be some form of deniability for travel and/or the rumor mill at work.
I'm a competitive powerlifter, and since I will no longer be able to compete in the tested category (Androgel carries the risk of showing up as a positive also, I found out), I decided I might as well start cycling and get some benefits.
I'm 24 years old, and have been training seriously for 3 years. Current 1RM records are squat= 451 lb, bench= 315 lb, and deadlift= 455 lb. I'm 5'4", 200 lbs, and around 15-20% bf. I'll be training 4 days a week, and will begin to cycle GPP work (sled, hammer, prowler, etc.) again as cardio.
I've had gyno since puberty, so I'll be keeping a vigilant eye out for sides. I have a couple of people at my gym who are helping to guide me through this first cycle who have been through similar testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) issues as mine, as well. Here's what I have put together:
Weeks 1-12: 500 mg Test C, 400 mg Deca, 25 mg Proviron ED
Weeks 1-4: 50 mg Phera Plex ED
Weeks 14-19: 80 mg Anavar ED
Weeks 13 on: 200 mg Test C
A friend also recommended that I kickstart the deca with NPP, starting week 2 or 3 to make sure my test is up by them. It would be 1ml EOD for 3 weeks or so. This is a really heavy beginner cycle already, and I'm not totally sure if I Im confortable adding anything else to it, not to mention that I'm not thrilled about the extra pinning that would involve. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
For side control, I'll have some Aromasin ready to go just in case (would run this at 25 mg EOC or E3D if needed).The Proviron will also act as a mild Aromatase inhibitor (AI), so I'm hoping this will help to keep most sides in check. I'll be taking a trip to Australia at the end of the cycle, so the anavar will help firm up a bit before I head out.
Since I'm currently on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), the plan is to drop to a cruising dose of test after the cycle, so no PCT will be needed. I will, however, be monitoring for any sides during this time and will still have aromasin on hand.
The pheraplex is one that I haven't been able to find a ton of info on. From what I can tell, it's perhaps on par with D-bol in terms of anabolic effect, but with fewer sides other than bloat. It came recommended from some teammates.
I'll be following carb backloading for diet, switching to carb nite when I hit the Anavar (var). After a lot of trial and error with other diet methodologies, this diet has been the only way I've put on significant muscle with little to no fat gain. I'll be upping my protein intake, but otherwise will follow the routine I'm currently on.
Other supplements to be taken are:
Fish oil
multi
vitamin d
vitamin b
cycle support (helps with liver function and cholesterol control)
1-2 gallons of water
Go big or go home, right?
