+ 1 1st Cycle Questions
Hi all. I am ready to start my 1st steroid cycle but would like some opinions/advice on what I plan on doing.
About me:
Male
36 years
6' 7"
235 lbs
13.8% BF
Will have pre/post blood work done
Diet:
is 4300 calories a day in a 40/40/20 ratio (or very close). I have an excel spreadsheet with my meals that I have been eating for the last 9 months. I have 1 cheat meal a week.
Lifting:
Been lifting for about 5 years faithfully. I weighed about 290 5 years ago at 38%bf or more. I dropped 90lbs in about a year and about 2 years later of 6 days a week lifting and cardio I weighed 194 @ 4.8% body fat. For the last 2.5 years I have been "bulking" and am currently at the stats above.
Goal:
long term to reach a weight of 250 @ 6% BF or less
All that being said I was going to run the cycle that is suggested in the "beginners cycle" group http://www.eroids.com/og/beginners-cycles/cycle-testosterone-enanthate.
If more info is needed please let me know. Thoughts? Suggestions? Criticism? Thanks in advance for all of your opinions and advice.

first off, congrats on losing the weight and getting yourself to a good BF% range before considering starting a cycle. very few do that and go straight to a cycle. i would go with the testosterone only cycle. its always good to have an AI and PCT before starting your cycle. whether you may need an AI will all depend on how your body reacts to it. but you do not want to find out you need something and dont have it. good luck on the cycle and keep us posted on how it works out.
Obama BlowsPersonally, although some people may need an AI, such as adex, throughout their cycle it doesn't mean that you will. Each person will react differently. Some never get tingly nips during their cycle and some people always get them. But if you've never ran a cycle before you dunno how your body's gonna react to the gear. I'd suggest just going with 500mgs of Test E every week like suggested, but leave the adex and Aromasin out so that know how your body reacts. However, if you do end up being prone to gyno you should start popping Nolvadex...I use 40mgs ED for the first couple days and then 20mgs ED for the next 12 days and that fixes it right up for me. But to each their own...won't hurt you to take the extra stuff, but if you have sides you won't know what's causing it, if that makes sense lol
I'd also change the PCT to:
Nolvadex - 40/40/20/20
Clomid - 100/100/50/50
I don't have sides from either clomid or nolva, so I take both, as is common. However, occasionally people have weird sides from clomid such as blurred vision and things like that, so that's something to watch out for.
Well anyways, that's my 2 cents on the whole thing...good luck with your cycle bro
Just so I understand...no AI (was going to use Aromasin) at all? Just have nolvadex on hand for both gyno emergency and PCT? So I find that I am prone to gyno and tried your recommendation above and it subsided I would stop taking the nolvadex until PCT? Sorry for all the additional questions.
Obama BlowsBut be sure to get blood work done during your cycle as well. make sure your e levels aren't too high/low. I've never used aromasin, i always used adex, so i can't really comment on that...but lotsa people prefer it over adex. letro is good to have on hand for emerg gyno probs (i have a mountain of that shit in my drawer lol)
you're gonna get lotsa diff suggestions (most of which are from personal experience). each person will react slightly different to gear, dosages, etc. having labs done will help you find what's perfect for you. E.G. if your e levels are too low, cut back a little on your AI, if your levels are too high, increase the dosage a little bit. and i mean a LITTLE bit lol a little bit goes a long way
so I guess where I fall a little short in my already limited knowledge is what the blood work should look like. Where should the test and estro be? I need to search for this. If you know any good sources of info I would appreciate it. Thanks Obama.

Keep the nolva for PCT not during cycle, keep Letro on hand In case of Gyno.
Obama BlowsI'm not telling you NOT to do it, I'm simply giving other options. If you'd rather run an AI out the gate you can. And you should ask as many questions as possible bro..safety is key.
And yes to the nolva question...it's cheap anyways, so easy to have a shit load on hand. Be sure to have that before starting your cycle though
Always run a AI, even if you don't have any sides. Plenty of guys on this board have had high estro with zero sides but that doesn't mean it's safe. If I were you I'd run the AI.
Obama BlowsTo each their own on that one. Like I said, I'm gyno prone so I have to run it too...
Test only for your first cycle to see how you and your body reacts to the cycle. Get a quality AI and have pct meds on hand before you start. The beginners cycle will work great for you. +1 for posting stats and info.
I am going to have everything on hand. Thanks for the response.
Obama BlowsThat's good. Good luck with your cycle
