My First Cycle: Test 12 Weeks

[psujorge]

Hi guys,

I am starting my very first cycle this week and wanted to share with you guys for advice and motivation. Feel free to give me pointers on how to make the best out of it...

Here are my stats:

32 Years Old
Weight 190
Height 5'9"
Clean Diet (working with nutritionist on a carb cycling)
Ideal weight - 170

I want to lean out, and then build some muscles from there...

Cycle

Testosterone Cypionate 300 mg/ml per week (light cycle since it was acquired as an HRT)

HCG 50 U (Draw to 50 U on insulin syringe) each morning, Day 1 and Day 2 Before Testosterone Injection Subcutaneous starting the second week

MIC/Lipo/B12 (50 U or 0.5 cc Subcutaneous twice weekly)

Anastrazole capsules day 1 and day 2 after testosterone injection.

PCT - starting week 14 (clomid 50mg daily for 3 weeks)

Please feel free to provide feedback. I will be posting progress notes as time goes by!!!

I am a little confused. You acquired test as your HRT?? If so, then why are you doing PCT?? I have a few questions/comments for you:

1. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is measured by IUs. Standard dose is 250ius twice per week
2. What is the strength of your arimidex? That is important. A lot of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) clinics give out 1mg tabs/capsules and taking 2mg per week will tank your estrogen, especially with only taking 300mg per week.
3. Clomid is best run for at least 4 weeks.
4. How long are you going to run the test for??
5. I would recommend getting more test and running it at 500mg per week if you are dead set on running this cycle.
6. If you are just looking to cut 20lbs, I honestly would do that naturally as you can add muscle and lose fat with a good diet/strength training program.

Just my 2 cents. You need to do a little more research. When someone can't spell out Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) or Adex dosages, it has newbie written all over it. Not ragging you, just giving you some sound advice.

riprockwell,

Thank you for your feedback. I will try to address your points in order:

If running it as an Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), why do PCT?
I do not plan to continue doing the shots as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), as they are extremely expensive when I get them from them. My Endo would only give me Androgel (1.6). So I figured I will spend the money once, get a cycle in, and then go back to Androgel. Hence I figured that since I am coming off of it, I need to do PCT.

1) Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) - 50IU (Misspelled)
2) Arimidex - Did not mention it in my original posting. The anastrazole is 12MG, twice a week.
3) I will run clomid for 4 weeks.
4) I will be running the cycle for 12 weeks.
5) I wish I knew how!!! I begged the Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) clinic to up me to 500mg/week and they would not do it. (Yes, I am a newbie, and dont know where to get the stuff other than my doc!!)
6) I understand this argument, but since I have very low T, I figure I kill 2 birds with one stone.

Again, i truly appreciate appreciate your 2 cents. If I did not want honest feedback, i would not have posted this. And yes, I am new to this, but not to working out.

24mg a week of armidex!? that's why too much you will shut down your estrogen completely. I recommend doing your research through out the forums and try to find yourself a source so you can bump up the dosage to 500mg of test per week.

 

[psujorge]

Cool, will do.

Sent you a PM

 

[psujorge]

Would you say that cutting the armidex in half would be appropriate?

 

[psujorge]

Ok, so I found some extra T and have modified my cycle a bit. Please provide me with some feedback:

12 weeks of 400mg (Monday & Thursday @ 200mg)
HCG 50 IU on Sunday and Wed (Day before pin, starting on week 2)
MIC/LIPO/B12 50IU Subcutaneous on Tuesday & Saturday
Armidex once a week 12mg

PCT:

Clomid 50mg daily (Week 14 for 4 weeks)

Are you sure its arimidex and not aromasin, high end dosing of arimidex is 1mg and aromasin is 25mg normally. 12 mgs or arimidex is way out in left field as that's about the total mgs you will need for the entire cycle not per week.

The test C has 69mgs of active hormone per 100mgs so 400 will bring you to 276mgs active test per week it should be ok if your looking to lean out and is a good start for a first cycle.
If you are going to run Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) during cycle it should really be used at 250IU twice per week, at 50 iu the benefits you will experience would not be worth pinning IMO

 

[psujorge]

It is Anastrazole, whichever that is equivalent to.

Ill see if I can find some more Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) to increase to 250mg.

 

[psujorge]

Ok, so my dumbass has been looking at the wrong part of the label, it is 2mg Arimidex!!

Updated cycle:


12 weeks of 400mg (Monday & Thursday @ 200mg)
HCG 50 IU on Sunday and Wed (Day before pin, starting on week 2)
MIC/LIPO/B12 50IU Subcutaneous on Tuesday & Saturday
Armidex once a week 2mg

PCT:

clomid 50mg daily (Week 14 for 4 weeks)

Ok, so yesterday I pinned for the first time on my second week and went to work out. Holly shit, I sweat a river, and my stamina and endurance were extremely high. I know it is very early in the cycle, but maybe because my natural test was so low, I noticed a huge difference.

My weight is stable at 190, but my belly seems to be coming down, hard to tell.

Will keep posting progress.

4th week of the cycle, and I feel I have gotten very strong, but no size gained in arms or pecs. Diet is really clean (working with 3js). Do I have the wrong expectations, or is this normal?

Have gained 2 pounds and lost about 1.5 inch on my stomach.

Any feedback would be great!!!
