New Here! Would like some master / super mod guidance on the details

[Anamorph]

I am 24 yrs old, 5'8" 175lbs
I made the mistake of doing my first cycle when I was 18 with a half a dozen of my high school buddies and got great results but kinda fucked up my testosterone as i noticed down the road, It was a basic cycle, test P EOD 500mg/wk with some winny at the kick start.
Long story short, I took a couple yrs off training, kept up with myself but not growing, smoked a lot of pot n partied ya know the good college days, anyways I've been training solid for the past 1-1/2 - 2 yrs. I currently lift 3-4 days/wk, run 10-12 miles a week, and am currently training for a half marathon. Also doing bikram yoga EOD ( as gay as that may sound to most gym rats its done incredible things for me) haha. I am planning on starting a cycle about 6 weeks from now, 2 weeks after the half marathon. My goal is really just quality gains, I'm not rly concerned with packing on 30 lbs i just want a nice gain of lean mass that I can hold onto. My plan is to do the following:

Test E - 500mg/ week 1-14
Equipoise - 400mg/ week 1-14
Anavar - 50mg/ day week 4-12 (possibly increase to 100mg around week 7 depending on results)

I have a few questions:

1- I plan to run clomid & nolva, what should the dosage be when combining?

2- I would also like to run clen during pct, How should i Schedule that?

3- Would anyone advise I do less than 500mg of test? Ive heard some people say 250 is affective n some say its a waste

Welcome to criticism It's been awhile since I've spoken gear language so any flaws feel free to correct. I prefer advice from masters/ supermods/ someone who's been in the game for a lifetime. no offense to newbs but i'd rather have proven suggestion than opinion.

U should just stick to a basic test cycle. U got too much going on.

Cycle is ok but i dont count your first cycle because it was very long time ago
I accept you start again , so yes Test only is better, this cycle you think can be second or third cycle

You plan on using clomid and nolvadex during your PCT or during your cycle? Those are pct only drugs. I would advise you keep your testosterone dosage at 500mg. You will notice a lot more and will feel better. 250 is a very low dose and I think later on you will regret it.

I was reading the posts and I was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback. I was taking prohormones ( tren, superdrol, massdrol) for about a year switching them up without pct, since I was told from another user that I didn't need to cycle (from a former pro bb). Now almost 4yrs later found out I have low T, and sleep apnea. Clomid has been effective, but levels drop after 8 weeks of power pct. Since then I have been taking 25mg ED to get by. My libido and sexual performance is better than when I was on power pct, I am also using a cpap. My question is did my sleep apnea prevent an eventual hpta recovery? If so, should this protocol do the trick using a cpap? Or is my hpta, too damaged and will not produce lh without clomid, and if so will serm stimulation help to repair it? Here are my last labs from power pct.


FSH 12.8 (1.5-12.4)

Testosterone 624 (249-836)

Free Test 145 (47-244)

Percent free Test 2%

LH 22.7 (1.7-8.6)

Prolactin 14.2 (4-15.2)

Estradiol <5 (8-43)

SHBG 27 (10-80)

Mc, you have to start your own thread. That's rude, brother.

OP, I would go with the basic test cycle. You will get great results with test only. I love test prop, but if you don't want to pin eod or ed then get a longer ester abd go twice a week.

I agree with the test only this time simply because your body has changed since you were 18 and you may react differently to the test, get more sides, etc. Especially since you said running that early cycle messed up your hormones so you need to know how you respond to test by itself and be sure that you can prevent/ treat sides.

As far as the other two, eq needs to be run at such absurdly high doses to get any worthwhile results, your 400a week protocol would be a waste. Not to mention eq would add to more e2 so at the doses you would need to get results, it's really going to Fuck with your ai dosing. This means you won't have the base understanding of what YOUR body needs for test alone.

The anavar I wouldn't do for that long without a couple uses in different cycles at lesser extents of time and dosages. It is a very mild compound and I personally LOVE var(I run it in almost every blast), but like all other aas, you need to know how you react to it before you go crazy. More is not better in this game. Now, if you were to run it for the last 5 weeks staying at 50 mgs per day or less, then I see no issue there. You still need NAC even with var, as mild as it is it is better to be safe that yellow all over and sorry. Just be sure you know how you respond to the test first and be sure you can handle the test alone. If you do this, get some l-taurine. Var will get you killer pumps, and occasional cramps mid sleeping, if you aren't super hydrated all the time. The taurine would be a preworkout precaution so you don't get such bad pumps that you have to cut your workout short.

Keep in mind that diet is first. To be honest I would gain some weight naturally after your half marathon. Running like that can destroy lean tissue so try to be as close to 180 as possible before starting. At your height it's not a great start weight, but it's good enough.

Also...You may recall how strong you got last time...not everyone is like me, but I get crazy strong on var. Just because you can lift something, doesn't mean you always should.

I know I'm going a bit too in depth, but just making sure you're good.

Btw, good for you on admitting your mistake and not making it again. It's nice to finally see a newer guy being open minded and admitting he is human and has fucked up/needs help.

I hope this helps and I wish you the best. Good luck, brother.

Edit** I forgot about pct....
Clomid @ 50/50/50/50
Nolva @ 40/40/20/20

If this doesn't make sense, it's rather simple...
I mean that the Clomid should be run at 50 a day for 4 weeks. The nolva should be ran at 40 per day the first 2 weeks and then 20a day for the last two weeks.
If you run test prop then begin pct 4-5 days after your last pin. If you get a long ester test then start it 2 weeks after your last pin.

If you're running half marathons then I don't see you needing the clen. I think you should wait until next time and do some reading up on the topic. If you are dead set on it then get some keto to run along side of it so you don't have to cycle on and off. Otherwise pct wouldn't be enough time for the clen. Keto prevents your receptors from down regulating so they remain responsive to the clen. Just run it for the length of pct. Start at 40 a day and slowly work up to 120-180 a day. Just don't overdo it. Slowly cycle down the dose the last week in the same fashion reversed. I honestly would not recommend it though. It's better to cut while on gear than off or on pct. Clen does help retain gains, but it's hard to cut without losing muscle-even on clen-without gear in your body.

Look into hcg as well. There are two theories on running hcg, but I prefer the during cycle dosing. There isn't any proof that one method is better than the other.

Be safe.
