First testosterone E cycle guidance.

[Kas25]

Hi fellas, finally commited to jumping onto a cycle. After reading & asking around I've come to the conclusion that 500mg of test E would be the best to kick things of as I don't want to smash my liver with orals & don't want to jab EOD.
Main things I want from this cycle are strength, recouperation, lean muscle & lean up a little.
My training is more based on Muay Thai rather than full out body building so I guess needs to be a little more tailored. my biggest issue is I don't put on to much water weight so I can stick close to my fight weight which is why I'm also looking into an anti aromatase (which would suit best)

Training is as follows:
Monday, Wednesday & Friday:
60-70% of my one rep max 5-6 reps x 3 sets.
Dumbell press
Curls
Shoulder press
Calf raises
Squats
Rows (with towel at the end of a barbell)
Dead lifts
Abs
1.5 hours of hard sparring & grappling.
Sure it's not a routine that most of you would use but.......
All these are done in an explosive manner to target fast twitch fibres.
Tuesday:
Hill sprints or intervals
pad/technique work, grappling & abs
Thursday:
Circuit:
Battle ropes
Stair sprints
Clapping push up burpees
Bag throws
Step up knees on bench
Static chin ups
Slam ball
Saturday or Sunday: long run or cycle.
Getting closer to a fight I drop the weights & do more cardio + stair sprints or skipping at lunch.
Diet is pretty good, except for 2-3 weeks coming of a fight (it's all on the table)
Breaky: protein shake, banana & whole meal or rye toast
Mid morn: banana or apple
Lunch: tuna or chicken with mixed fresh veggies or steamed vegies (on the odd occasion maybe some rice or pasta) apple & some nuts
Mid arvo: protein shake & some rice thins or ryvitas
Dinner (after traing) whatever the boss makes, usually lean meat & vegies/salad just not a full portion.
Stats:
Age:34
Height: 175
Weight: fight at 69kg but walk around at 74-75kg
BF%: 12-16% respectively ^^^^^

Won't be fighting for the next 10 weeks or so as my wife is almost due so figure now would be a good time to see how I go with water weight & sides.

Will need direction on PCT, seems most people are doing similar things but just want to make sure.

Have I missed anything? Either way any feedback would be great

500 mgs for 12 weeks is a great base cycle, but you will need an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and PCT for sure. Hopefully you already have everything on hand right?? Great sticky's to read on this site dealing with these issues which you should have already read and had a game plan....

 

[Kas25]

Not everything as yet. In the process of getting an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) sorted.as for the PCT, I notice some do both clomid & nova & some only do either, why is this?
Bty, I've not started yet.

For an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) either arimidex or Aromasin is what you want to run. Aromasin should be started at 12.5 eod and arimidex 0.25mgs EOD and you can adjust with how your body is reacting to the test.

As far as PCT goes for a first cycle it is reccomended to run both clomid and nolvadex to ensure greatest chance of recovery. Some people will only run one or the other but as a first timer you want em both.

 

[Kas25]

Sweet, thanks guys.
Clomid & nolvadex is on the way but the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) seems to be a liitle harder to track down.
As for the dose, 500 seems to be the norm but have been reading a little re low dose cycle. What's people take on low dose for guys doing things like martial arts?

Just a quick update if anyone is interested.
I'm a week in now starting off at 200mg twice a week (3rd pin). Not sure if its phsycological but I feel stronger & there is a higher sense of well being. I have upped the intensity at training as I've been a little lazy over the last month, so not sure if I'm gassing quicker because of the lack of cardio over tha last month or if its the test e. Shoulder pumps are "HUGE"! When doing pads & when doing harness sprints my legs just blow up more than usual. Ive finally started to see a bit of weight come off but I think that's just from strict diet & upping the training.
Don't seem to feeling any sides apart from feeling a little light headed from time to time & maybe some slight anxiety (maybe that's too much caffine)?
Any ill do my BF% next week & see where I'm at.
