Test Prop Cycle

[bcopp]

I usually end up typing long ass posts, so please bear with me if it gets boring.

Hi everyone, I have been reading a lot lately on this board and one other and have put together a cycle I would like to try in the future. To start off, I am 6'0, 213lbs. Bodyfat is mid-low (under 15%). I am currently in the middle of a cut; I started from 222lbs. I was about 180 pounds when I started lifting I have been lifting for about 5 years, 3 years seriously (seriously=know what I am actually doing) and have been dieting for about 3 years (seriously dieting for probably 2 years, the first year or so I dieted and although I still gained muscle, the foods I used were just shit, and I only counted protein, not carbs or fats). I know dieting and a good lifting program is what is important, most importantly a diet, but I just wanted to start trying testosterone to kick it up a notch. I love everything about bodybuilding and plan on seriously competing in the future.

My lifts are as follows- bench-~330x1rm, squat not 100% sure, but at one point I was squatting 350x6 ATG. Squat is my weak point but I am making progress. Deadlift-I pulled 405x6 a while ago.

My bulking diet (when I am going to start this cycle) is planned by macros- 320 protein/580 carbs/100 fat. Thats what gained me a lot of muscle mass over the last year. I have questions about increasing that with test but I will ask them at the end of this post.

Now for the cycle:

Weeks 1-10
Only test prop because since it is my first cycle I want to see how my body reacts to it/sides/etc. Now I read the majority of the people doing a 150mg shot every other day, averaging to around 500mg a week. Does this mean its 150 mon/wed/fri/sun, then tues/thurs/sat and start over on monday again?

During this cycle, I planned on taking HCG-300-500IUs every 3-5 days and stopping it one week before my post cycle therapy (pct) starts.

edit: aromasin starting with 12.5ed

post cycle therapy (pct)
Since I will be taking prop, I am starting my post cycle therapy (pct) 3 days after my last injection.
DAA
Nolvadex-40md everyday for 2 weeks, then 20mg a day for 2 weeks.
Aromasin 25/25/25/25. I would have just used Adex, but I read that nolva reduces adex' (also Letrozole) effectiveness because of the type of aromatase inhibitor it is. I know AIs are used mostly during the cycle, but many like them during post cycle therapy (pct) too. Also, I understand that AIs take a little while to start working so should I start taking it a little bit before my post cycle therapy (pct)?

I am taking the multivitamin AST multi pro 32X, fish oil 1000mg 2-3 a day, creatine, BCAAS. Another question is should I use CEL cycle assist during my cycle? If I did, I was thinking of preloading with it 2 weeks before my first injection.


I will get bloodwork done before and after the cycle. Two more questions, should I use a cortisol blocker? And since I will be using test, should/how much should i increase my protein intake?

To sum it up:
Test 500mg a week
edit: aromasin 12.5ed
HCG 300-500IUs every 3-5 days

post cycle therapy (pct):
nolva-40/40/20/20
aromasin 25/25/25/25
DAA

I wont start this cycle for months yet, but I wanted it to be perfect when I do start it.
Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate everything.

aromasin isnt used for pct get rid of that as your pct protocol and add clomid 50 mg ed for 30 days , I prefer aromasin over adex as an al and if you do have to use it then continue using it while on pct , good starting dose for aromasin is 12.5 mg ed if you feel the need adjust dose accordingly, I always run prop myself , yes its more frquent injections but I run it with another short ester like ace or npp , inject eod doest matter what day is what if you injected yesterday your not today , I think 150 mg eod is a good dose

Why do you think that aromasin is bad with a post cycle therapy (pct)? I read in a sticky on this forum and multiple other places that it is a good idea to run an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) (specifically Aromasin) with your SERM.

 

[balboa270]

You can run arom on through cycle and post cycle therapy (pct) but not just bam post cycle therapy (pct) run either the adex or arom they are both Aromatase inhibitor (AI) I think you are fine with nolva only post cycle therapy (pct) so either pic adex or arom for ai

 

[broseph11]

any reason your choosing prop over test e or c for your first run?

 

[balboa270]

Probably likes pinning lol

 

[broseph11]

lol dont we all

 

[bcopp]

I think it was because of the fact that if i had bad sides test p will be out of me quick and because of the positive things that were said. I know some people say its not the best choice for a first cycle because of all the pinning, but if I did decide to switch to test E before I cycle, it wouldn't be a big deal, ill just change a couple things like my time between cycle and post cycle therapy (pct). But ill switch to aromasin during the cycle and PCT, 12.5 ED during cycle.

I would do test cyp/e for first cycle, pinning gets old pretty quick especially your first cycle, my first cycle was test prop for 8 weeks and i cut it down to 6 cause I just couldnt do it anymore. only way i'd go back to EOD or even close to ED pinning is if i was doing the legendary test p / tren ace cycle.

If you're looking just for the quick acting ester of test prop because it hits you a lot quicker then other tests, I'd suggest going with sustanon at 250mg twice a week, monday/thursday.

Now I know people will probably disagree only injecting sust twice a week but its a starting point and it will still give you good gains, and if you can handle twice a week then move it up to 3x a week...
