So you decided to take the plunge and do your first AAS cycle or you’ve done one or two and are wondering what your next one should be. Read this whole post and the links on my opinion on the subject matter.

First thing you need to understand right off the bat. Is that it’s all about the diet, as a matter of fact I would say 70% or better, your results will be dependent on your diet. You can either take my word on this and save yourself a ton of grief, or learn the hard way.

So let’s begin with a timeline.

1. Get blood work done and get a physical to make sure that you are healthy enough. Not even up for discussion. DO NOT SKIP THIS

Read one of my other posts, titled Bloodwork - What to Get and When - MUST READ (<==click the blue text) for an overview.

2. Get all of your PCT gear. It will consist of Nolvadex AND Clomid.

3. Get your syringes. My recommendation is 18 gauge 1.5” for drawing compounds and 27 gauge 1.25” for intramuscular injections. You will also need .5” 29 gauge (or higher) insulin syringes for your hCG (if you go the sub-q route).

I recommend you read my other post, titled Where to PIN and Avoiding Major Nerves. (<==click the blue text) You will find a lot of very useful information that will help you get started and keep you safe (mostly).

4. Get your AI. I would recommend starting with Anastrozole (“Adex”) it is cheaper and easier to dose (for a beginner). Some people will have issues with lipids on Adex so I recommend seeing if that’s the case for you or not (via blood work at week 6). If it is, your next go around can be Exemestane (more expensive and needs to be dosed more frequently).

5. Get your HCG (10,000IU is more than enough).

6. Get your AAS. In this case Testosterone Cypionate OR Enanthate AND Testosterone Propionate AND Proviron . I would not recommend getting concentrations of higher than 250 mg/ml for Cypionate, 300 mg/ml for Enanthate and 150 mg/ml for Propionate. Any higher than these recommendations can be crippling for some individuals in terms of PIP and there is simply no need for them for the purposes of this post.

So you got all of this and you’re ready to go. So here’s what you should be running for your first four cycles (my opinion). You don’t really need anything else. As a matter of fact unless your going to be competing on a national level this simple cycle will be more than enough to exceed most individuals lifetime physical development goals.

Start With Blood Work as a Reference.

Weeks 1-12….…500 mg of Testosterone Enanthate, biweekly injections (250mgx2).

Weeks 1-2………Testosterone Propionate 100mg EOD (every other day).

Weeks 2-4………Testosterone Propionate 50mg EOD (every other day).

Weeks 1-12……..50mg Proviron ED (every day).

Weeks 1-12……..Adex at .5mg day of Injection (unless you know your dose). So twice a week you dose for a total of 1mg per week. Adjust this dosage based on the results you get in your bloodwork at week 6 (you want your E2 somewhere around 35).

Weeks 1-13.5………hCG at 150 IU 3 times a week right up until 4 days before PCT. HCG can be administered both sub-q and intramuscular. Sub-q will cause less trauma to the body.

Week 6………Get blood work done to verify your AI dosage as well as your overall health.

Week 14………Start PCT (if you are using Enanthate, if you are using Cypionate wait an additional 4 days).

PCT (the numbers below represent daily dosages and are separated by weeks, so that’s 4 weeks of Clomid and 5 weeks of Nolvadex).

Clomid………100/50/50/50
Nolvadex……40/20/20/20/10

8 weeks AFTER PCT check your levels with blood work to make sure you recovered by comparing them to your pre-cycle bloodwork.

Some basic questions and answers.

Q. Why incorporate Proviron?

A. So that you can do more with less. Proviron will help suppress SHBG which will in turn give you more “free testosterone”, and that’s what counts. Plus it has some additional benefits to the user which are outside the scope of this post.

Q. Why not just run a straight Test E or C cycle for a beginner, why are you incorporating a Test P kicker?

A. There are a lot of reasons behind my thought process. The most prominent being is that it will unable the user to achieve higher peak plasma blood levels quicker to make it a much more productive 12 week cycle. Let’s face it the first one is always the best, might as well make the most out of it with the least amount possible.

Q. Should I run an AI from the beginning?

A. Yes, your body will start to convert testosterone into estrogen from the very first injection.

Q. Do I need to incorporate hCG throughout my cycle?

A. Yes you do. HCG mimics LH in the body. Without it the testes shut down. The longer they remain shut down the more difficult it is to restart them. This will ensure a greater chance of recovery during your PCT and after. If you maintain your testes function throughout the cycle then the only thing you really have to worry about is getting your hypothalamus and pituitary on board. Also we have LH receptors throughout the body not just in the testes and it is important that those receive stimulation as well for the overall well-being of the user.

Q. You say “this will ensure a greater chance of recovery”, what do you mean, do you mean I may not recover?

A. Any time you mess with your own bodies hormone profiles you stand a chance of NEVER recovering. Wrap your mind around this before you ever start.

Q. So how much can I expect to gain from this cycle?

A. This brings us full circle. It’s all going to depend on your diet. I kid you not, at least 70% of your success is going to be dependent on your diet.

The above are my opinions and not recommendations or an act of condoning. Hopefully the community finds my opinions helpful.

And remember NEVER JUST TAKE ONE OPINION ALWAYS READ RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN.

Remember if you ask me a question the answer is always WhyNot.
