First test cycle
Stats
Height: 6"0
Weight: 174lbs
BF: 16%
I weight train 5 days a week and train MMA. I have a very active lifestyle and have altered my calorie intake to suit
Cycle
I've been advised to keep it as basic as possible for a first cycle so I've gone for test e only for 12weeks with 2weeks between my last shot and my PCT, which is nolva and clomid for 5weeks
Expectations
Originally the goal was to concentrate on putting as much size on as possible and then looking to shred the fat later but that bf reading is a lot higher than I'd expected so I'm gonna try for a leaner bulk. My goal is to reach 195lbs while lowering bf to around 10%. I was worried the jump in weight so quickly would compromise my speed and I think the test should prevent this from happening while still in screaming size and strength. It's worth mentioning this is my first test cycle an have been advised to keep it as basic as possible. I have some aromasin on hand also if needed
Concerns
Main concern was my bf% which had gone up from about 11%. My fat mass hasn't increased but muscle mass decreased significantly when I came off an anavar only cycle, I'd also foolishly experimented with the ketogenic diet without fully understanding it and ended up losing more muscle than I'd anticipated. My lifestyle is active though and I've tweaked the diet slightly so I think a leaner bulk should be possible as long as I watch the calories carefully

Listen to these guys there advice is spot on ! If ur trying to cut weight aas won't help man quit being lazy and change ur meals and workouts just like everyone has told u and if ur trying to put some size change ur calories aas is to polish gains.
You are not anywhere near ready to run a cycle with those stats. You have alot of room to grow naturally which should be easy with a proper diet and training. I would first bring that bodyfat down with fasted cardio at least 5x/wk (more would be better) and then work on building up your muscle base naturally before any steriods are used. Dive into the training and diet section and you should have no problem reaching your goals with that info and not even having to touch any AAS yet.
Cheers for the advice pal, gonna look a little further into diet maybe, that's where I went wrong last time, played around with the keto diet while trying to shortcut my cutting and ended up losing more muscle than fat, training suffered, mood suffered and general well being suffered, won't be touching that diet again until I properly understand it haha
Think he's already running it.
opticxTry this hardcore stack first.
It will produce some "SIK" GaiNnNnzZzZ Bruh bro
-40 lbs chicken
-20 lbs Steak
-10 lbs fish
2-4 lbs of any combo EACH DAY. Taken orally every 2-3 hours for maximum ANABOLIC response signalling to your receptors and stuff.
you are heading in the right direction, more intense heavier workouts and 90 minutes cardio per week with a better diet you can be a beast by the end of the year, then you can think about a cycle, you could double what you have already and be quite impressive.
Cheers mate appreciate the advice

Sounds good, what do I gotta do just follow the link?
opticxGlad you made it over there!
Explain PCT in comments and the 12.5 at the end. Needs work. You have a good base in my opinion, but I'm sure others will come in here saying you need to train until your natural potential is maxed out. Are you trying to pack on muscle and not reduce speed?
The PCT was just nolva and clomid for 5 weeks tapered down, I'd added other things to it but was advised by someone here to keep it basic and not put too much strain on the liver, I've set myself the goal of reaching 195 but no bigger whilst keeping fat levels low, and ya I'm afraid that if I put that much muscle on in such a short period of time my body mightn't be able to carry it so well and would slow me down and also compromise my gas tank, I'm more interested in testing the performance enhancing qualities than anything else
Diet will dictate your gains and how much you bloat before PCT. Just run a standard 4 weeks pct. You have no mention of an AI. Do you know what aromatization is? More research is needed. Take heed of opticx advice above and also do more research before you harm or disfigure yourself.
I've been researching and lurking here about a year and had been holding this cycle off until I understood them better, I'll admit I'm not an expert or anything but I think I know enough to get a basic cycle down without causing any damage, I have aromatase on hand if needed but was told I wouldn't need it for such a small cycle, I have it just incase though better safe than sorry and had originally included it until advised otherwise, are you recommending taking it regardless? And if so would ya recommend just taking it as PCT or during cycle?
