Hey broski's,
I am looking to take my first cycle and wanted to give the low down and ask some questions. I have read a lot of the newbie posts on this forum and have been lifting long enough to understand my body. With my cycle my goals are simply to make strength gains & fat loss. I am especially excited to experience the mental high that testosterone provides.
About me
Bodybuilding has been a lifestyle of mine for 6 years now. At first I did it just because I wanted to get laid but it has become my biggest hobby and pasttime. I have dabbled in powerlifting as well.
Stats
Age: 29
Bf: 12-15%
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 170 lbs
Other Details
Over these six years I have went from ~140 lbs - 170 lbs. I don't have a great read on my bodyfat but I can clearly see separation between the three heads of the deltoid, my top pair of abs, I have quad separation, and a lovely set of love handles as well!
My arms and legs respond the most to heavy volume while my chest and back grow best at heavy weight.
I currently do 4 days/week; Mon/Tues, Thurs/Fri - I tend to get pain in my elbows and wrists if I do much more. I don't have arthritis but I grew up playing lots of video games and do sports year round and it has taken its toll.
I have natural gyno - Not a lot as people only notice it if I point it out...Honestly it may have been caused by a prohormone stack I took like 8-9 years ago back in college. I can't tell from younger pictures of myself.
I will be doing blood work before, in the middle of, and after my cycle.
Planned Cycle - 16 weeks
Steroid Cycle - 12 weeks
---------------
Test E - 200 mg 2x/week
HCG - 500ui 2x/week
Anavar - 50 mg/day - Maybe?
PCT - 4 weeks
-----
Clomid - 50mg/ day
Novadex (Tamoxifen) - 20mg/day -
HCG - ? / ?
Questions
1. I have read that I shouldn't take hcg during PCT and just run it during the cycle because it represses HPTA. However, I have also read that it should be taken both during and after...I'm sort of confused.
2. If I did get gyno from the prohormone stack a decade ago is that able to be treated with PCT? Or is it too late?
3. I would like to work anavar into my cycle so that I can lose more bf but I have read that it isn't really useful unless you're already low bf, not to mention this is my first cycle and it's frowned upon. Would it be worth it to use Anavar later in the cycle if I am not having many sides?
4. Is it true that you shouldn't use gear that has more than 250-300 mg/ml? I've read that that is generally a bad sign and is also a pain in the ass to use.
Alright, thanks for your time guys. The resources available here are incredible and it's awesome that everyone is trying to promote the use of steroids but in as safe and intelligent way as possible.
