First Test-C cycle. Am I missing anything?

Hey guys, been doing tons of research and I think I've finally laid out my first cycle. Any feedback is greatly appreciated of course.

Week 1-12: 500mg Test-C (250 x2 per week)
Week 3-12: 500iu HCG (250x2)
Week 1-12: Arimixyl 1mg (.5x2)

500iu HCG daily for 10 days after last Test.

PCT:

2 week after last Test (2 options)

Clomid: 300mg day 1, 100mg next 10 days, 50mg next 10 days
Or
Clomid: 40/40/20/20

The reason for starting HCG on week 3 is simply bc with the shelf life of HCG this allows me to buy only 2 kits as supposed to 3 kits. And leaning towards method one of PCT dosing.

Also, I'm 26, been lifting regularly since high school, 6'1" and 195 pounds. 15%ish body fat.
 
Test dose looks good bro I would start the hcg from the first pin though. It's gonna make recovery way easier and for the price of hcg in comparison to the price of your nuts I would just buy the other kit. Don't cut yourself short on aas man, you want to give your body the best chance possible for great outcome and recovery all around

Start your adex at .25mg eod to start and if you feel the need to bring it up some step it up to .5mg eod. You just have to be cognizant of your E2 levels. Too much can cause joint pain and a truly bum libido.

As for pct you have to be careful with clomid brother. That shit is strong and not that much is required.
My suggestion:

Clomid 50/50/50/50 or 75/50/50/50
Nolva 40/40/20/20

But other than these few things though this looks like a great cycle man. You should have a lot of fun and get some decent gains training and diet permitting of course

HCG should never be used more than E2D due to the leydig cell refractory period. Ramping towards PCT is a good idea. Just double or triple the last 3-4 shots, thats it.

I also prefer Aromasin over Arimidex, but Arimidex can be used no problem.

For PCT, I'd go 5-6 weeks.

Tamox 20mg/ED
Clomid 25mg/ED

Double one of them for the first 14 days.

Test dose is great for a first cycle, glad that's the only compound you are using. Id do some research on Aromasin for an AI if I were you. I'm not sure about Adex but Aromasin won't allow a spike/rebound of Estro when you get off it. HCG from first pin of test, 3-500iu's a week MAX, split into what ever is convienent, i.e 2 shots or 3 a week, totaling 500iu's MAX. Clomid at 300 can cause tracers in your eyes, just stick with what jack3d wrote, 50/50/50/50 and add in the Nolva as well. The whole idea is to rebound your natty test as fast as possible.
 
What's your goals if this cycle? Most importantly what's your diet look like? Do you have the extra money to spend to eat the right way??!
 
Thanks for the responses guys. I'll bite the bullet and get the additional HCG, like you said, small price to pay for the sake of sexual health. Also the ramp up to PCT you suggest 1000-1500iu EOD or E2D? I had 500iu ed as per the stickied thread.

I can get some aromasin for the same price as arimidex. 25mg tabs. Dose those at 12.5mg EOD or as needed correct?

Good call on the clomid dosing. I'll switch it to the 50/50/50/50. I'll also look into adding Nolva at 40/40/20/20 to stack with it. This may be a "light" cycle to a lot of people, but I'd rather be safe than sorry with my PCT.

Bloodwork was done a couple weeks back. Test levels are at 500 first thing in the morning which is fairly low for someone my age. I'll see how I feel on the cycle to see if there's a possibility of low natty test causing depression and other symptoms, which was why I had the bloodwork done in the first place, a few symptoms. If so, once I recover from PCT I may seek the opinion of a different dr about the possibility of TRT.

From my research, realistic goals for this cycle are about 10-11 pounds of lean mass and keeping about 80% or so after PCT. My diet is in check, I eat a high protein, healthy diet. If I'm lucky, would be nice to drop a few % bf on cycle as well but not too concerned, that would just be a positive side effect.
 
You need to get labs mid-cycle to see if everything is looking good (e.g. Estradiol) and after your PCT to confirm recovery as well.

Not too many docs would put you on TRT with natty T in the 500's.

Good luck!
