Review my first cycle! Input needed

[camaro69blk]

Ok so I know that I'm a total nood to the forum, but I've been reading up for months now. I just turned 25 last week and I'm planning on doing a light cycle. I started working out when I was around 18 and got to my heaviest when I was about 22 weighing in at 215. I then had some anxiety issues and some other stuff goin on so I was forced to stop lifting for a solid year. Now I.m just struggling to get back to where I was and the gains aren't coming nearly as quick as they were before. I'm 25 years old 195lb 5'10" around 15 to 18% bodyfat. Here it goes....
week 1-12. 350mg ultra test 350 (test blend)
Week 1-12. .25mg arimidex eod
Week 1-12. 200iu hcg twice a week
Week 13-16 25/25/10/10mg daily nolvadex

Question is since its such a light first cycle should I take the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG)? I already have everything so I figure I should. When do u reccomend I start taking the nolva? 5 days after last shot?

You can run hcg the entire cycle or blast at the end. Either way, I'd run it. Start pct 3 weeks after last pin due to the long ester in there. Nolva 40/40/20/20. Clomid 50/50/50/50. Also run your adex all the way through pct and taper the last 2 wks to prevent estro rebound. I'd pin eod due to the short esters too. You should just go ahead and bump it up to 5-600 mg a wk. Mine as well go for the gold instead of shooting for the bronze. You're shut down the same at 350 as you are at 500.

Ok thanks for the info. Yea I might up the dose like you said since it will be worth it in the long run. You're saying I should inject the test eod? Or the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG)? Damn that's a lot of pinning

 

[coltmc45]

Well your test has long esters and short esters. Due to the short esters it should be pinned eod so your blood levels aren't fluctuating the whole cycle. That's why I don't like test blends.

You already posted this in a previous thread and which I responded to. Why would you post this again?

Yea I posted in the wrong section. My bad.

Ok yea. I guess ill have to order more syringes then. Would the dose split up twice a week be sufficient? Or should I really stick to eod? I'm not too worried about a little fluctuation as long as its reasonable. I only have nolvadex because I heard the sides of clomid can be harsh. Also tryin. To save a little dough. Perhaps just the 40/40/20/20 of nolva? Also should I take arimidex only if I see signs of gyno? Too low estrogen wouldn't be fun either.

EOD would be preferred if you're gear has short esters in it which I believe it does. You could do twice a week but this will cause a fluctuation in blood levels which could give you more sides. .25eod of adex is minuscule and would never drive your estrogen too low at that dose. I run an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) all through cycle but some choose to wait and see if sides occur. 40/40/20/20 is good.

Ok sounds good. Probably starting within a week or so. Does anyone reccomend taking anything to keep cholesterol in check?or any other supplements in general to keep healthy? I heard niacin or red yeast rice was good.

niacin and fish oil imo . do a search on niacin flush , it wont kill you but be expecting it.

 

[coltmc45]

Yeah that niacin flush will freak you out if you're not ready for it. I thought I was having an allergic reaction or some shit.
