Introduction
Hey everyone,
I am planning my first cycle to start later this year, and really appreciate all the great advice that is posted here.
I am 32 years old and have more than 10 years experience in the gym. I am 5'6" and 145 lbs, with about 12-13% body fat.
My goal is to put on about 10-20 lbs of lean muscle and maintain that after my cycle. I hope to see about 2 or more inches added to my chest, arms (where I am especially lacking), and quads. I'm also hoping to drop 1-2 inches off my waistline.
It was recommended to me as a first cycle to run 200 mg Equipose/ 250 mg Test Enth for 10-12 weeks, finishing with 5,000 IU of HCG for PCT. Does that combination and dosage sound correct?
I'm looking at purchasing Armidex and/or Novaldex as an AI. I'm hoping to find a counteractive to acne as I think I may be prone to it on cycle. Any recommendations?
Any advice on my plan so far would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Eroids get the most!
Drop the eq bro..and don't use hcg as the only pct.. run a ten day blast before ur pct. 1000 iu eod for ten days then begin nolva/ clomid protocol 4-5 days after blast ends.run aromasin week 1-12 at 6.25 mg ed to keep gyno and water retention down.might have to adjust to 12.5..I found that 6.25 ed is perfect for me so u have to get bloods done and adjust accordingly...and bump the test e up to 500/week split up in two shots(monday-thursday). U need to do a lot of research the next 6 months and peak naturally first..have ur diet on point and training hard then think about aas.not something u just start without being educated on..I researched for over a year before I decided to do my first cycle..knowledge is key my friend
I'm looking over this thread that describes a PCT cycle similar to what you are suggesting:
http://www.eroids.com/forum/steroids-qa/anabolic-steroids/are-you-ready-...
When you say "blast" are you referring to what some people call the half-life of the drug? I've read that most anabolics stay in your system for an extended period, like the ten days you mention for test e, and that you need to begin PCT precisely when that ends. Am I correct in understanding you?
I'm familiar with Nolva and Clomid and understand they counteract the estrogen-related side effects (gyno and water retention as you mention). I was under the impression that they should just be taken primarily during the cycle or as symptoms arise. Is there a thread in this forum that is devoted to planning PCT? I would definitely like to take time to look it over.
I already have been steadfast at the gym and keeping my nutrition in check. I've been researching for some time as well, and won't be starting any aas until I've got a solid understanding of how to use it effectively.
Read through the forum topics. Im pretty sure they will answer most of you questions. Tons of info on PCT, Cycle building etc...

1 compound only (Test E/C) for your first couple of cycles. You don't know what your side effects will be like. Using only once compound the first few times will allow you to remedy the sides you may experience and not have to play the guessing game on which compound is causing what, then you can begin to add 1 additional compound at a time.
You also need to do a bit of research in the forum section on how to construct a first cycle as well as a proper PCT. HCG is not going to be enough for your PCT.
Read this as well as other Forum topics. This will help you understand how to cycle and then ask more pointed questions.

Hope this helps
Thank you very much for pointing this thread.
The suggested beginner's cycle I posted was from another site, Anabolic Bible. I've seen other suggested first time cycles and they always suggest running two compounds, but never really explained why.
I think running one compound as you suggest makes more sense. I'll start planning my first cycle that way, start looking into necessary AI's and ancillary drugs, and re-investigate PCT.
