A look back at my first cycle and planning for second. Help appreciated!
3+ years ago I did my first cycle in my mid 20s of 500 mg test /week for 10 weeks. I saw great results. I put on 10lbs while my body fat decreased. More interestingly to me we're the sides. My mood was through the roof awesome. My slight acne/splotchy skin cleared up completely. My complexion has never been better. My sex drive was killer.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as they could have in the long run. I didn't have everything on hand before I started and had to switch brands halfway through. I started my nolva only PCT immediately after my cycle. My diet got shittier. I felt like shit. My libido sucked. It took me a while to get back into my groove.
now here I am looking at doing my second cycle. I'm certainly smarter about diet, training, and hormones than I was then and my exercise physiology degree has given me a really good understanding of the human body from a science perspective. I want to do this, and I want to do it right this time.
so for my second cycle Here's what I'm thinking so far: Test E or C 400mg/week. Biweekly injections. 12 weeks. Plus something else. My goal is not to explode in size. A former Powerlifter, I stand at 5'7 190 <10%bf. if I put on 20 lbs I'm going to have trouble running. I would rather put on less mass and keep my athletic physique. For that reason I'm thinking of adding a low dose of 20-40mg ED of anavar but none of the top sites seem to have it stocked. Anyone know how often they re-up their supply or should I just ditch this idea?
Also, I want to really beef up my PCT and on cycle support this time. The pcts I'm reading up on now have come a ways since the old "nolva and/or clomid" days. How much is good with what I'm looking to do without being crazy expensive/overkill. Also- I remember reading about nolva and clomid being highly toxic before but I haven't read anything similar here or on other sites recently.
Lastly, I want to add something to guard against hair loss (my forehead has turned into a five head in the past few years) and libido (I'm gonna be single this summer, might as well take advantage of it). Suggestions? Should I just use over the counter horny goat weed and rogain?
Sorry for the long post from a new member. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Anavar would be a perfect addition to your cycle for dry lean gains and good strength. 50mg per day for 10 weeks.
Anyone have experience with var?
Namely, if I order 50 mg capsules would I be able to open them and split that into two 25/mg doses?
Also- everyplace I look recommends a different dosage. Some say 20-50. Others 50-80.
Also I'd recommend at least 40mg a day for the var. I don't know of many sources, but if you can get your hands on some I think you'll love the results. Increasing the dosage will only make it better, but var can get pretty expensive.
Yeah it looks like the var is gonna be half of what I spend on the whole cycle. Our rom the research I've done it just looks too perfect for what I'm looking for to not take it. Unless anyone has any suggestions on something similar and cheaper
In reality your goals can be accomplished with test alone, but if you intend to add something else I wouldn't recommend anything other than var personally. Bad side effects are rarely reported and it would be very helpful for achieving your goals. Also, I've heard several people mention the anabolic sense of well being they get from var is phenomenal.
Thanks for the help, mate.
Finally, all I'm really still curious about is on cycle support for hair/sex drive loss. Anyone have some recommendations.
Welcome to eroids mate. Bi weekly injections of test e is fine. I think the anavar sounds great for your goals. I would try 100/100/50/50 of clomid along with 20/20/10/10 nolva and 12.5/12.5/6.25/6.25 aromasin for a 4 week PCT.
Bi weekly Is fine for trt
Cycles of test e with biweekly injections is extremely common. For trt only you would need a much lower dosage, test e has a very long half life so even 250mg at twice a week (500mg per week) would give you blood levels far above those of someone on trt.
Sorry but what is trt?
TRT is testosterone replacement therapy, means bringing one's test levels within range of an individual's normal levels
First of all bi weekly injections? That's a no no do research please
I don't think you understand what bi weekly means. It does not mean every other week, it means two times per week.
Uhhhhh I have... Research says a 200mg shot on both Monday's and Thursdays is > a single 400mg shot at keeping test levels steady (or whatever the dosages are)
That's every week not bi weekly .. :/
