Current Stats:
Age: 28
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 198 lbs
BF: 11%

Disclaimer: This is a projection of my first cycle. I want to make sure all of my bases are covered conceptually before moving ahead and placing my order. Looking for the instruction, knowledge and AS wisdom from experienced and successful users in hopes and efforts for personal growth and understanding in this field.

One thing I have greatly appreciated (as I've adventured through eroids.com for some time now) is the constant theme of personal growth through personal experience and the valuable community feedback of experienced users. Understanding the safe standard dosing ranges and not being afraid to explore what dose range works best for you while walking that fine line of gaining the best results without getting into diminished returns and unwanted side affects.

It's because of gleaning this valuable understanding through the eroids.com community that I've decided to have my 2nd go at a "1st Cycle." Just to clarify: My first cycle was 3 years ago. Starting Stats at the time were: Age, 25 / Weight, 185 / BF, 12%... Finishing stats when all was said and done and PCT was completed: Age, 25 / Weight, 216 / BF, 9%. Constituting a 31 lb gain, a 2.76 lb loss in Body Fat & 33.76 gain in Lean Muscle Mass. I wish I could tell you exactly what my Cycle, Programming & Diet were but had a computer issue and lost my detailed logs from that time.

This cycle looks something similar to what that one did with a few key differences:
-I'm going into this Cycle with a little experience and whole new mentality of personal (rather than just physical) growth and a desire for community support, input, feedback and honestly have people to celebrate successes with while pursuing this journey. An outlook that I'm happy to say I've gleaned from the encouragements in threads & forums here.
-These past few years have given me a greater confidence in understanding Exercise Programming, Execution & Fitness Nutrition. All of which are fields of study and career for me.

Areas I'm hoping to grow in understanding:
-Determining and tracking the appropriate Macros as they relate to Bodybuilding goals.
-The Chemistry and Biology as it relates to AS.
-Understanding Blood Work Charts.
-Finding my personal sweet spot for dosage range.
-Overcoming obstacles and symptoms with pre designated preventative measures, gaining a greater understanding of the Chemical processes behind the causes and remedies.
-Determining (based off the 1st Cycle) how to create the best game plan for a successful 2nd Cycle.
-Personal Growth.

My thoughts as it relates to the Details in this 1st Cycle:
Test E will be the injectable. It's what I used the first go 'round, worked well and my body chemistry and receptor cites should have had ample enough time to reset. Hoping to experience great results again for this 1st Cycle before changing the injectable to a different Test (P or C possibly) and adding an oral (Dbol most likely) for the 2nd Cycle.

My plan:
-Run Test E at 250mg 2 x / week (500mg total) with injection site rotation (Quads, Glutes, Delts, Chest... OPEN TO MORE SITE SUGGESTIONS) for a minimum of 8 weeks at which point I plan on keeping a keep eye on my stats and progression. If results prove positive on a weekly basis I may inject (Test E) for as many as 12 weeks, but there again only if proving beneficial. Once it seems there are diminished returns I plan to discontinue use and prep for PCT 18 days after the last injection of Test-E.
-I plan to have an AI on hand for on Cycle use in the case that bloating or gyno arises while Test E is systemic (I don't expect it to since neither were present for my original Cycle), but I'd rather go into this fully prepared. Would use as soon as week 3 (or 4) and as late as the last day before PCT [suggestions welcome] at a dose of .25mg every 3 days. Would raise or lower dosage if needed (as it related to my body's response) as well as experiment with taking Every Day (ED) or Every Other Day (EOT), there again only if needed.
-PCT: 2 weeks (18 days to be exact) after final Test E injection.
-Nolva 4 week 40/40/20/20mg per day.
-Clomid 4 week 100/100/50/50mg per day.
-Blood Work Pre Cycle, mid cycle at 6 weeks & 2 months post cycle.
-Then plan to be off Cycle for a period equaling (and no less than) the time taken on Cycle for body to reset, recover and personally reflect on the knowledge gained through the experience.
-I plan to give detailed reviews on each of the products as I take them for the sake of personal growth and to support the growth of accessible knowledge here in the eroids.com community.

I am in the market for a heart rate monitor (most likely will go with the Fitbit Charge HR Fitness Tracker) to keep track of blood pressure on cycle as well as keep track of HR Zone during (Cardio) Exercise.

Exercise Programming:
-Specifics to follow (will add the workouts when I start the Cycle).
-Being a personal trainer with 10 + years experience I have already written out an extensive program but plan on letting it grow & evolve as needed. Plan on taking advantage of the increased motivation & improved recovery time and put in some work.
-Planning on 5 days / week workout plan. Pre Stretching for Optimal Muscle Length Tension Relationships, Approximately 10 min cardio warm-up, 45 min Size Training (with some HIIT for variation as long as the pump isn't too extreme, although that would most likely kick in with Dbol for later Cycles).

On Cycle Macros:
-Here's my current consideration/but still want to take the next couple weeks to come up with a solid game plan.
-Looking to fine tune as my body responds while on Cycle.
-Last time had a big issue with acid reflux upon laying down, am prepared this time with an amazing natural digestion supplement that has since proven to work very well.

I have calculated my TDEE: currently at 3540 Calories/Day
Based off this calculation here's my projected on Cycle caloric intake per day each week, will gauge during cycle to see if this should be raised/lowered as LBM/BF are tracked.

Week 1 3540 cal/day
Week 2 3540 + 250 = 3790 cal/day
Week 3 3540 + 500 = 4040 cal/day
Week 4 3540 + 750 = 4290 cal/day
Week 5 recalculate TDEE cal/day
Week 6 New TDEE + 250 cal/day
Week 7 New TDEE + 500 cal/day
Week 8 New TDEE + 750 cal/day
Week 9 recalculate TDEE cal/day
Week 10 New TDEE + 250 cal/day
Week 11 New TDEE + 500 cal/day
Week 12 New TDEE + 750 cal/day
Week 13 recalculate TDEE cal/day
Week 14 New TDEE + 250 cal/day
Week 15 New TDEE + 500 cal/day
Week 16 New TDEE + 750 cal/day
Week 17 recalculate TDEE cal/day
Week 18 New TDEE + 250 cal/day
Week 19 New TDEE + 500 cal/day
Week 20 New TDEE + 750 cal/day

Projected Macro Ratios: 4/40/20 Protein/Carbs/Fat
Based on an initial TDEE of 3540 Calories for week one that works out to be:
Protein: 1416cal / 354g / day
Carbs: 1416cal / 354g / day
Fat: 708cal / 78.66g / day

[FEEDBACK ON MACROS STILL GREATLY APPRECIATED / have a feeling this will fine tune as I get into my cycle and see what I need]

I know that this has been long-winded for the sake of thoroughness. Thank you in advance for reading and for any beneficial advice.

Excited to finally plug in and become a functioning member of this eroids.com community. Looking forward to growing with you all (pun absolutely intended).
