+ 2 First test cycle
So after training for about 6 years natural after having built a pretty good base/experience in diet/nutrition and training programs, finally decided to run a test only cycle, I did extensive research to know what i will be facing, I'm going to do this very professionally making sure to get from the least as much as possible. I have built a pretty good base atm I often get accused of using gear since the second year of bodybuilding as i started with around 55kg built about 20kg of mass the first 2 years, and after wards it was really a slow process as im not that big in height compared to my weight.
Current stats:
Age: 29
Weight: 85kg
Height: 1.74m
Bodyfat 12/14
So have decided to take 500mg/week of test I have chosen arimidex as an AI, I have been advised not to use the idex untill i notice itching on my breast and some other symptoms, well tbh i have received a many different recomandations about AI's some say start at week 6, some say start with low doses EOD like at 0.25mg and some say u dont need it, just keep it in hand, I have purchased enough anyways just to be safe, especially this is my first cycle, i don't know if im prone to gyno or not. I will be doing bloodtest pre cycle, mid cycle at week 6 and week 18/19 right after the pct.
I have chosen not to use the HCG for my first test only cycle, it isnt that high dose so i figured i wont be needing it, altho i have it in hand incase my balls shrink really much, i will see if i need to use it or not, and if i decide to use it, i will be using it for 2 weeks at week 13/14.
as for the pct, i have nolva and clomid just a basic pct for my first cycle
Training program:
Mon: Chest/tri/abs
Tue: Back/bi
Wed: delts/traps
Thu: Legs/abs
Fri: Chest/arms
Sat: Back/abs
Sun: rest day with cardio
My exercises will be mostly hypertrophy and will vary into shocking muscle, so i will not be training the whole 12 weeks the same workout program, i will be switching it, i found this to work very well with my body throughout the years:
Diet and nutrition:
Breakfast:
4 whole eggs 130g of oats and 1 whey of protein. (Yes! whole eggs, i've been eating this much eggs since the age of 6)
Meal2: 170g of chickenbreast and 120g of brown rice
Meal3: 130g of pasta with tuna and 1 scoop of whey p
Meal4: 120g of brown rice with 170/200g of salmon
Meal5: Sweet potato's with chicken or or steak
Meal6: cassein p
Notice: my meals will vary aswell the macros will be the same, but i sometimes tend to switch between fish and steak, i tend not to eat too much steak throughout the week, 2/3 meals will contain random veggies
All are calculated with my fitness pal, from macros to daily calories every single gram.
As for the wheyprotein, i will add it throughout the meals if don't exceed daily protein goal.
Supplementation:
Animal pak> 1 pak ed
Creatine mono: 5g ed
Whey protein: 2/3 times a day depends on macros and amount of protein each meal.
Fishoil: 3g a day
Preworkout
other than these supps above are completely waste of money imo. and have never used anything else my entire life.
pictures will come soon after my bloodtest results are done.
PCT items are pharmagrade, except for the test e
Any advises critics are welcome.
Edit1: so at this moment, the only thing to take in concentration is when to take the AI, as its my first cycle, i don't know if im gyno prone, i tend to take a bloodtest at week 6 but that might also be too late for the high est symptoms
Edit2: AI's have been decided, will be taking 0.25mg EOD starting week off week 2.
(Dosage after week 6 depending on the bloodtest E2 result will change.)
Edit3: changed dosage of AI from 0.25 eod to 0.5 ed after pinning blood at week 7

I would caution only useing an ai if your nips get itchy. Some guys like myself are not gyno prone. Get bloods done mid cycle to dial it in.
Yes, i thought the same, as i mentioned i tend to do a bloodtest at week 6, to check my est level, this has been the only thing concerning me, about the whole cycle nothing else, i'm planning to use it only when i notice some symptoms about itching nipples, some people say this wont work if you are gyno prone, it might happen over night and might even be irreversible if you're too late

Your going to have a blast on this simple first cycle.
