+ 1 First Cycle (a few questions), feel free to critique
So, I'm planning on running my first cycle in the not too distant future and just wanted to run it by some of the veterans here as well as ask a few questions.
I'm 38, 5'10", 215, 12%bf.
Week 1-12: Test E, 500mg/week (pinned 2x per week)
Week 1-12: 12.5mg Aromasin EoD (if I don't see excessive bloating or signs of gyno I won't use it since I'm doing a relatively low dosage of Test).
Week 2-14: HcG, 250iu (pinned 2x per week on same day as Test E)
Week 15-18: Clomid (100/100/50/50)
Week 15-18: Nolvadex (40/40/20/20)
I'll also be taking a host of natural supplements during cycle and PCT to help combat the standard negative side effects of AAS. I plan on getting blood work done before I start my cycle and then shortly after PCT ends.
I was really temped to buy some Test P and try to kickstart and taper my cycle with it. Since this will my first time pinning I decided against it. My question is for someone who has done this with a Test E/C cycle. Other than the obvious benefits (not having to wait 3-4 weeks for the test to kick in and being able to more accurately know when the test has cleared your system to start PCT), would the increase in gains from using Test P with Test E be significant?
The other question I had is, Aromasin seems to be quite a bit harder to find compared to Arimidex. I have found it on a few research chemical sites and wanted to know if the chems there are ok to use? I guess I was concerned with potency, etc. If I do end up needing the Aromasin on cycle I definitely want it to be potent enough to be up to the task.
I guess I've rambled on long enough. I'm excited to get my first cycle started and look forward to any input you guys may have.

Well thought out and put together bro +1 for being sensible about your 1st cycle,as tread said you will get some good gains on run 1 everybody usually does,keep with the quality nutrition and intense heavy training and you will not lose much mass.
Enjoy your new lifestyle brother and keep us up to speed with your 2nd cycle plans
Thank you Viking, I appreciate it.
Hey dude. I'm doing almost the exact same cycle. Have you started yet?
No, I haven't started the cycle yet. I'm still busy fine tuning exactly what my diet will be and need to get my pre-cycle bloodwork. I'll probably start it within the next couple months.
tread-mMaybe some caber on hand as well but I'm thinking open with aromasin for sure at 12.5 eod to pull things in check but I want to see the bloods first if you can come back or PM me before cycle with estrogen levels. I would open with it two weeks and close with it two weeks unless estro and shbg are great th n you roll without it other than I would still do the two week close with it. Go the aromasin route though in my view. Prop as an open and close is very effective interms of the "good of the cycle" but a first cycle will be great anyway. Typically prop kick and taper is not done on a first timer due to the fact it is so much piinning. The trophy is won or lost in the kitchen . If you dial in the quality there then its a success, if its half dialed in maybe half success. It is the most important part of a cycle and the most imortant part of keeping the gains. Your focus and research should be very high in that direction and you will succeed.
TxBigBoyI agree with the aromasin, I went with Adex last cycle and then aromasin this cycle and im liking the aro much better. I've actually just been taking 12.5mg e4d and haven't had any issues.
Awesome. Thanks for the input tread. I'll definitely PM you with my blood results when I have them. My diet is pretty decent now and I plan on it being even better on cycle. I plan on eating very clean throughout. The challenge I have is my work schedule sucks, but I'm used to it. I work long 12 hr graveyard shifts and then switch back to a semi day schedule during my weekends. I've waited a long time to do this and really want to make sure I do everything right, to maximize my gains.
