1st cycle ever
ad
STATS, DESCRIPTION, GOALS
So this is going to be my first cycle ever. I've been training since i was sixteen, consistently since i was 21 but my diet was still not on point and quite awful to be honest. I've been interested in steroids for a while but decided to wait till i was at least 25 and got both my training and diet on point.
Height: 179cm
Weight: 83kg
Bodyfat: 12% (measured with calipers multiple times)
Diet: protein ( +-250g) carbs (+-400g) fats (+-90g) split over five meals a day, 3 prepped meals, breakfast and one cooked meal in the evening to keep it varied.
Training: I train six times a week, three consecutive days with one rest day in between. I follow a push pull leg split with one of the push days starting off with chest and one with shoulders.

Let’s see a self pic.
5’10” 183 doesn’t tell me you’ve hit your natural peak yet but maybe you’re a shredded beast.
At least you’ve got a plan.
Get blood work done before you start.
Get bloodwork at week 4, then assess the need for arimidex.
Get a better PCT protocol..
Nolvadex - 40mg 2 weeks then 20mg 2 weeks
Clomid - 100mg 2 weeks then 50mg 2 weeks
Maybe even a 2000iu HCG shot after first week of PCT
Get follow up bloodwork after PCT
Take time off after your cycle, don’t slack on eating your new maintenance calories whatever that is for your new weight and don’t stop lifting..
Smart to keep it simple!
I will caution you of a few things from my experience. 1.) get pre cycle bloods (to make sure you’re healthy and to get baseline levels for test production and conversion) 2.) don’t go in with a set amount of arimidex. Some need more or less than others and the only way to tell is to get bloods taken. I would start with .5mg of adex per week and get tested after 5 weeks and adjust from there. 3.) I would improve your PCT by extending another week or 2 as well as adding clomid (and HCG in my experience, but HCG use varies by eroids member). There are plenty of PCT options that have been tried and tested in the forums!
Good luck!
Thank you very much for the advice. I will for sure take your advice on the pct, as for bloods i should have a very recent bloodwork laying around here will dig it up as soon as possible. One question what would be the best timing to do bloodwork after a cycle?
No problem bud!
I know I sound like a nag, so sorry! If your bloodwork does not have testosterone, LH, FSH, and estrogen at the very least, I would get new bloodwork. It’s a pain, but it will help a ton with PCT and knowing when your body is up to speed post cycle as well as healthy on cycle. Not sure where you’re from, but in the states you can get that bloodwork done for cheap (not through insurance). It is important to have to make comparisons during and post-PCT. You ideally want to be at or close to where you were “naturally”. It’s a good proxy for 1.) making sure your PCT was not bunk and 2.) making sure the protocol you implemented is sufficient.
For post cycle bloods, I like to get bloods done twice. Once immediately post PCT (to see if PCT needs to be extended) and another 6-8 weeks after finishing PCT (to compare to “natural” levels). Even after PCT, where theoretically things should be functioning on their own again, the body still needs time to recover.
Please let us know if you have any other questions! So so so much experience and expertise here on!
So as advised i got my hands on some clomid, hcg and more nolvadex to extend my pct. while thinking about pct an idea popped in my hand. Once i've dialed in the correct dose of Arimidex would it make sense to lower that dose in week 15 and 16 since i've stopped injecting and the amount of test in my body will start to lower?
