2nd Cycle Advice
I am purchasing an Equitest blend. This will be the 2nd cycle I've ever done. First cycle was Sust 300. 1ml a week for 20 weeks. No PCT or anti estrogen therapy during cycle. I am 36 years old was diagnosed with low T due to testicular trama. The blend is 350 Test E and 350 EQ. I plan on injecting .75 ml twice a week for 20 weeks along with 5-10 mg of Nolva a day with Clomid after. I eat pretty clean but I've gotten stricter on my diet. My goals are simply to look symmetrical. I'm single for the 1st time in 15 years so I want to have some fun. I do a full body workout 3 days a week and 90-120 minutes of cardio a week. I loved how the Sust made me feel and look. I am a novice and probably getting into gear a little late in the game but any advice or knowledge is welcome.

You said. You have low t does this mean that you are on try? If that's the case there will be no need for pct.
Yes, as stated in my original post I do have low T. I've been on Androgel 1.62%, one pump a day for about a year now. My original level before Androgel was 162, six months later it was up to a 525. I will still have everything on hand for Ai and PCT.
No need for pct than. Just revert back to your androgel protocol. Since you're not trying to restart your test production.
Good numbers for one pump/day. Just resume your normal trt protocol at end of cycle.
Captain, I'm not 100% sure, but I think that you may be able to skip the PCT and just go back to your androgel routine.
It's what guys on TRT refer to as " blast and cruise"
Most of the posts I've seen from guys on TRT are pretty critical of any kind of gel, they seem to like pinning Test C once a week way more than dealing with the gel.
Looks like you have some subject matter to go read up on ;)
Will do. Thanks again!!! Input much appreciated!!
He never said anything about low t.
Actually he said he has low t due to testicular trauma.
I remember now, thanks.
Thank you all for your input!!!!! I will search this site for first cycle, AI, and PCT. I do not take your comments for granted. I'm glad I signed up here. Obviously I don't know shit and I don't want to screw this up!!! I will report back with a different plan to see what you guys think. Thanks again!!!!
+2 for taking the input on board. Not always easy to take critique, but these guys are all on your side trying to keep you safe.
Thank you!!!
Wise move.
If I were to do the Equitest 700 cycle how does this look?
Ai- Arimidex .5-1 mg ed for duration of cycle
PCT- Week 1 - Nolvadex:40mg/ed Clomid:100mg/ed
Week 2 - Nolvadex:40mg/ed Clomid:100mg/ed
Week 3 - Nolvadex:20mg/ed Clomid:50mg/ed
Week 4 - Nolvadex:20mg/ed Clomid:50mg/ed
As always, input much appreciated
I would just stick with test e cycle only so that you can learn how to dial in your ai before you start adding additional compounds like EQ. Your pct looks good but you may be crashing your estrogen with that much adex. I would start out with .25mg E3d around the 4th week and adjust from there.
I've decided to go with a test cyp 250. Should I front load and should I wait until week 4 to start the adex?
skip the frontload. It will just complicate things when trying to dial in your AI. If you are going to need an AI about wk 4 is when you will know if you need it or not. Most likely you will, so be cognizant of high estro sides and be prepared to take it then.
Thanks again guys!!! I feel very confident now going into this. I will stick with the Ai and PCT plan as discussed earlier. Seriously, huge thanks to all of you!!!! I'm super pumped!!!!
and this will sound funny, but give yourself a thorough nipple self examination before you cycle. You need to know what those nips feel like so you have a baseline to go off of. When I did my 500mg a week of test E, I noticed some estro sides kick in about the middle of the 3rd week. the first sign for me was a little sensitivity, and firmer nipples.
I noticed that it looked like I was smuggling raisins under my t-shirt.
+1 for making a good choice.
Thank you!!!! I will look into some test e. What I have is a pre made blend. Is the EQ a little to intense for a novice? I've read it kicks in very late. What are the libido effects from EQ? I've read some mixed experiences on that also.
looks good except for the EQ. Shelf that stuff and get some straight Test
It's a pre made blend. Do you recommend I just get strait test and save that the blend for another time? Just for knowledge purposes, why not the EQ?
It complicates things and leads to more sides.
Gotcha, thanks!!!! Will look into strait test.
Captain, keep yourself safe and wait for this cycle, seriously. If you don't know what an AI is then you are wasting your time. Hop over to the pct and AI section of this site and read read read. Then take those bottles you got and shelf them for your 4th or 5th cycle. If something goes wrong, how do you know what is to blame?
Captain, take some time to read up before placing that order. Your plan looks pretty screwy.
It would be a shame if your were single and ripped, but had no libido and couldn't get boners.
Since your first cycle was messed up, start with another "first cycle". Use the little magnifying glass at the top of the page and search "first cycle"
From profile:
What is your plan for AI control and PCT for this cycle? You blew it on the first one so make sure you get it right now.
I'm showing my ignorance here. What is Al control? For PCT I planned on using Clomid. I know I blew on the first one. Didn't do any research, my fault.
You need something to prevent estrogen sides (AI = Aromatase Inhibitor). You are going to need more than clomid for PCT. Read up on proper PCT and estrogen control (search with the blue magnifying glass above) and post your AI protocol and PCT so we know you got it right.
