Been a member her a long time. Considered test cycle awhile back. Finally got it. Gonna go 10 weeks 500 a week test e. Need hcg but where I was told to go takes like 20 days to get so I'm waiting. im trying to stick to austinites protocol. Any suggestion would help. I'm 31 years old. 6ft 1 190lbs. Pretty strong already but want to put on another 5-7 pounds of muscle.

And what is your body fat % at?

Body fat around 10-12. Gonna pin twice a week 250 each as well as hcg 250x 2. Not sure about Ai. Have it will see how I feel. Clomid and nolva for pct according to austins protocol. Diet will be dirty. Just gonna eat a much as possible. no soda or corn syrup. Nothing processed really. I already eat decent. Intend to eat as much as I can. Never really planned the diet just gonna eat.

You cycle is only going to be as good as your diet. So if you are just going to eat crap, you shouldn't expect much from your cycle.

How will you determine whether or not you need to use the AI? Will you be getting g blood work? Have you gotten pre-cycle blood work?

Which AI do you have and how much?

When will you start PCT? What dosages and for how long?

Do you know what pinning sites you will be using?

 

[riverking47]

I'll rotate pin sites. I am a nurse so no issue in that department. I'll start pct two weeks after final pin. Clomid 75/50/50/50nolva 40/20/20/20 I thought I could determine ai on how my body reacts to the test e. Some people don't use it correct? I did get blood work but not a hormone panel. I was intetested in my lipid profile hct etc. how crucial do you think the blood work is?

You are the nurse, so you have more medical training than I do. But surely you know that you only have one shot at learning what your pre-cycle baseline levels are. You can't unring the bell after you start a cycle. Haveing a baseline is useful -- something I am sure you find value in having in your line of work.

And how will you know if your estradiol is too high on cycle without blood work? Are you certain you can recognize and diagnose the symptoms? They manifest themselves differently in everyone and it is hard to figure them out on your first cycle.

I would highly recommend pre, mid and poat cycle blood work. Isn't having objective data useful in your profession?

Not everyone needs an AI on 500mg of test /week at your body fat %. But quite a few do. We usually recommend starting at a low dose of arimidex or Aromasin Day 1 with followup blood work. Getting gyno and edema is not fun.

Make sure you donate blood too for lowering hematocrit.

Have you read the Ology FAQs sticky thread?

Not much to add but I would recommend what Megatron is saying about getting your pre-cycle baseline first.
