You're right my man....everyone was a noobie at some point in time. Couple other things I'd offer as suggestions etc:
1) first and foremost, thank you for your service my man!!!
2) make sure you're starting your PCT at the right time. Here is a tool that I've found to be helpful:
PCT Calculator | Post Cycle Therapy Calculator. I'm going to be running an almost identical cycle to the one you listed, and I calculated my PCT wait time to be 22 days. So, 22 days after your last pin of test, you start PCT. fool around with that calculator a bit and become familiar with it.
3) how are you measuring your bf? I ask bc you're inevitably going to gain a little fat as you build muscle....I would try to get your bf down a bit. Maybe target a starting bf of 13% to be on the safe side. The higher your bf, the more prone to gyno symptoms you are. No one wants to look like a bloated mess with a pair of tits lol....
3) 3j is the diet guru on this forum. I've exchanged a few emails with him, and he's very sharp. I'm going to be starting with him within the next two weeks. I feel that i have a good grasp on my nutrition, but as we know nutrition is the most important variable, I'm going to make sure it is dialed in to a T.....no guessing, etc. That being said, I think purchasing his coaching services would be a phenomenal investment.
4) bloodwork...pre, mid and post cycle. Looks like you mentioned that, so that's good! I'm also going to be taking aromasin, and from what I've researched, it's not as potent as adex, so 12.5 ed may not be enough. Just a heads up...obviously keep an eye on things and bloodwork will be the tell all....
5) a lot of guys have been mentioning torem as the superior PCT drug. I'm not sure which way I'm going just yet, but I'm definitely leaning towards torem (instead of nolva/Clomid)....
6) HCG....the blast you're proposing (1000iu, 10 days leading up to PCT), may not be necessary....the 500iu/weeks, throughout the cycle as you mentioned, should be sufficient. Maybe some other guys more experienced in this area could chime in here....
7) thank you again for your service! Stay safe and kick some a$$$ brother!!!
Let me know if you have any questions.
