Depends on the compounds and goals but given the goals we are talking about for you today and knowing its long ester then I'd go 12 and then run the var in that final 4 or 5 of the 12. On a short est blast down the road such as npp/prop then 8 is fine. Another great bulk run looking for additional muscle would be EQ/test and that one would need to be about 16 weeks. So many variations in all this but I say keep it simple as you learn yourself and compounds.

Ok this good. I would do this personally , drop the adex to eod. There is benefit in having normal estro and I think not only do you take it too low using that high of a dose in a cruise at only 100 mg's, you also develope immunity issues to the adex a lot quicker. That will fire up flucuation. Given you are set to use it from now on if and when that begins to occur I switch over to 6.25 eod aromasin. You will not have the immune type issues with it and in fact, it actually becomes more and more effective over time. On the hcg, I would probably only use it onece in a while on cruise even if you use it at 500 split ew for the whole blast periods. In the cruise you won't have the same sort of testical atrophy as in cycle so maybe once a month hit it twice in a week type thing. I think there are some negatives with constant use there and its just not necessary .
Ok so bf is in a so so place and you're not fat so let me address the oral question on var/dbol you had in the other thread. I assume you were referring to the dual orals although coluld be injects on dbol, either way its a no. You never want 2 orals as there is toxicity occuring if and when liver enzymes change so one oral at a time is all we want our liver to endure. They are seperate goals as well usually so a dbol might be a cycle kickstart and a var close it. Dbol brings on a lack of quality IMO so using it as the kick gives plenty of time for the rest of the cycle to fix the quality issue and then you close with a high quality in the var given if diet is dialed in and bf is in check then it will help solidify muscle taken in during the cycle. In a blast and cruise cycle no real need for sbol either in that it is usually used to kickstart a cycle. Your cycle is already kicked with the trt dose you have been running. Given we need to learn the compounds one at a time and you have been on trt for some time, I'm not opposed to the var addition. I would work very hard to continue to drop the bf during the cycle working lean gains being high in food protein. So once you work those lean gains all cycle , keep carbs in check to the degree we don't drag on fat and as you get to your final 4 or 5 weeks I pull the var in at 60 mg's ed split. Again, keep the gains lean and the var does some good for you. No hurry here brother, only try one additional compound per blast so you learn your compounds and their effect on you and slowly learn the effect of the combinations. Never add 2 compounds at the same time. Referencing your question in the other forum. Nice and slow and always know the kitchen is the real goal, the real work and when its not right to goal nothing else matters.
