New Member, first time user, cycle ideas.
Stats: 28 yrs old, ~90kg (195-200lb fluctuate), 172cm (5ft 8in), 10% bf
Goals: Gain muscle, recover fast, progress towards a men's physique show in a couple years.
Not really concerned with strength in all honesty.
Was an crossfit guy for a while but quit (incoming hate). Gym fees too expensive, culture/atmosphere was becoming cancerous, and injuries were rampant everywhere.
Into "bodybuilding" now but I still like to compete in 5k runs a few times a year. Best time was 18:13 last summer...
I lift 5 times a week but I also do HIIT training twice a week (yea I know, jokes are coming)
I want to try out my first cycle now that I feel i've hit a flat line on my overall progression. I've been lifting hard, eating right, resting a lot, but these last 2 years I look about the same...My wife is a dietician and really keeps me in check with our meals. She's honestly the foundation...
I was blessed with good genetics for a physique but started balding at 19 years old. Don't really give a shit about hair loss.
I keep log books of everything I do so after it's all said and done I might update if anyone cares.
From reading on here for the past 6 months I was thinking:
10-12 weeks (not sure yet)
500mg Test C (split M/TH)
12.5mg Aromasin ED or EOD
Typical PCT with HCG, Clomid, and Nolv.
I already bought PCT, I was afraid to buy the oil until I got it lol... paranoid
It's nothing original, I know, i'm just going off what everyone else recommends. Not the Boston Loyd approach.
Anyways, thanks for reading. Ready to start and get off this plateau

Post BF%. Can you post an unidentifiable pic?
Query Harris Benedict Equation and calculate your BMR with and without activity. Bring that number back here and we can formulate a macros that will be beneficial. Find out your blood type and get an idea what foods helps your body stay balanced. Please take into account food/drug allergies, social risk factors like smoking and drinking, and any current medications you're taking.
Hypothetical macros for your goals:
300/250-300/120 (p/c/f) this may change based off your pic and metabolism.
What body type are you? Ecto, Endo, Meso...
Thanks...Welcome.to Eroids...glad you're here
I wish I could post a picture but I have too many tattoos that could give me away.
BF% stays under 11 most the time. I just naturally don't hold onto fat and I burn through food like a 14 year old. A good and bad thing...
I have to keep a low sodium diet due to a family history of high blood pressure.
I'll keep looking around and get the rest of the information for you about bloods and what not! Thank you
You're on the right track
Thanks man. The "track" is easy to figure out on these forums
If you're moving forward...Keep it simple. Ask questions, read... You'll feel what you're looking for on Test alone. The key to it all - what's the gameplan when you're off cycle...
RustyhookerWhats your goals.? You wont be doing marathons and bodybuilding at all.
He'll be lucky if he finishes a 5K in under 20 minutes after using steroids...
I'll never bother running in anything over 5K (3miles or w.e). So no, I won't be doing marathons. Maybe in a few years i'd consider competing in a men's physique show. I don't have what it takes to go the bodybuilding route; It seems much harder.
Goals in 10-12 weeks. Put on ~12lbs of lean mass and keep it after PCT.
My best time was 22:25 on a 5K. Congrats on that time, bro...
You think you need aromasin for 250 a week? Probably better holding off until bloods say you need it. I doubt you will.
Sorry, I was meaning to say 500mg a week. I only say that because it comes in 250mg per cc. Do you think 500 is too much for a first?
Test Cyp or Test Enan 500mg per week IM is a standard protocol for first cycles. Glad you got your PCT first. Most importantly, you need to know what your free and total testosterone level are prior to cycling because if diet has been adequately managed and you're not growing, then something is up, metabolically speaking.
You'll need baseline bloodwork, too. It's called pre-cycle bloodwork. There are a few options for getting bloods done that we can help you with. In addition, there are mid-cycle and post cycle bloods as well.
Use an injection rotation schedule that keeps you from hitting the same spot, too soon. So, delts, glutes, quads, ventrogluteal, etc. There's some guys on here that have the link to spot injections...
Gotcha. No.
Not trying to step on your toes, bro, I just wanted to add a little extra info for clarity...
