2nd Cycle Advise
I am looking for advice on a 2nd cycle. A little preface, I ran a test only cycle back in early fall. 250 mg/wk with a .5 ml AI after injections. After researching more, I don’t think this was a good first cycle, but I was just listening to a friend who had a cycle or two under his belt already. Should have done the research I’ve done now back then. Live and learn.
I am wanting to run a 2nd cycle and had some questions. I want to add a compound on top of a 500mg/week test C. Dbol or anavar? I know the differences, but what would be the suggest for a beginner?
What is the suggest for an AI and dosage and frequency? What is the suggest for a PCT?
I am 6’4 235 (was 245 before the flu and Covid hit me pretty good about a month ago). I have good strength numbers. Former college athlete, been lifting pretty steadily for 10 years. I appreciate any help!

You only need the 500mg of Test man. That is what I ran and I will show you what my blood work looked like. For a PCT, I used clomid and HCG. While on the cycle of Testosterone, you will need an AI and I used Anastrozole for that and it works well and I only took it when I had symptoms. From the test only cycle, I seen amazing results and I can't wait until its time to start my next cycle in a month and a half.
I should mention I also had to donate blood as my hematocrit went high and I monitored my blood pressure and stayed away from caffeine.
500mg/wk of test e/c. Don't need to stack anything else especially since you haven't ran test that high yet.. That is a lot of AI for only 250mg/wk. What did your bloodwork say? What did you previously do for your PCT?
Trying to look back in my emails and find my blood results. Again, didn’t really know what I was doing that first cycle so I didn’t do a pre/during/post bloodwork. I did get blood work done about 6 weeks post cycle and my test number was somewhere around 600. My previous PCT was just something from a GNC type store. Feel very dumb for not doing the research that first go around. Just didn’t know there were resources out here like this. Trying to learn more about all this.
The only thing I will add is to ensure you have your pct plan ready to go before starting the next cycle at the higher dose. While it’s been a minute since I’ve been to GNC, I doubt they carry what you’ll need for a proper pct.
Hey Makwa, looking for your expertise here, I don’t mean to thread Jack but instead of starting my own thread these questions are in line with OP. I also need advice.
My first cycle is going to be
400mg Test E a week for 16 weeks
Here is where I’m confused, I have HCG and Arimidex. when and how much should I deploy those two compounds? Thanks!
Before you start you should do some research of what those compounds are and what they do. You also need to look into a PCT. There are some good articles on this site for that. Start here:

I’m prone to estrogen sides that’s why I have asked my question about the arimidex. If you could provide some insight on when to deploy it that would be great.
I use anastrozole when needed on cycle. So if i get sensitive nipples or see water retention I take 1mg of anastrozole and the next day its gone. That is how my body reacts to it. Some weeks i need it twice and other weeks I have no symptoms so I don't take it. Other guys will take .5mg of anastrozole every other day while on cycle.
Get bloods done. Get bloods done. Get bloods done. No one can tell you when or how much you will need. If you are prone to it you should know how it feels. You will feel it coming. You aren't going to wake up like Pamela Anderson overnight. You will feel Nicole Eggert first. Get blood work done before and at 5 weeks. Compare your results. Then start if estrogen is elivated. Start with maybe .25mg 2x wk of Arimidex. Give it a good week or so and retest bloods. Adjust accordingly.
I sure do appreciate it. That article helped a lot. Thank y’all for the quick replies and advice.
