Advice on first cycle
After doing alot of research and putting something together myself, Im curious if I can get some advice on this cycle. I'm not planning on starting anything until January, but here it goes...
My stats are 5'9, 188 lbs, 26 years old, not sure of my body fat% but I have always been very lean my whole life.
weeks 1-12: Test enanthate- 500mg/wk (split doses mon/thurs 250mg each)
*weeks 5-12: anavar- 100mg/day
*weeks 1-14: arimidex- .25mg eod leading all the way up to pct
*weeks 1-12: proviron- 25mg ed
*weeks 1-12: HCG- 500iu/wk (250iu split doses mon/thurs)
PCT:
week 15-18: Clomid-75/50/50/50mg
week 15-18: Nolva- 40/20/20/20
*Is the anavar too high for a first cycle?
*Should I start the arimidex on day 1 or day 2 (not sure if it matters that much, but I want to make sure).
*Is the proviron something I could take out?
*For the HCG are there any suggestions as to if I should start it on the very first monday as my first injection of test enanthate, or the 2nd day (tuesday/friday)?

AnonI would leave out the anavar and not start the adex til week 3 , if you could i would use aro instead and change the pct to clomid 100/100/50/50 and nolva 40/40/20/20
The proviron will free up test in a major way
I would save the var for a later cycle
Anavar at 100mg/daily is intermediate bro. You're brand new to the game, pace yourself young grasshopper. If you do run var in the future, run it at 50mg/d, and gauge your results. If you feel they fall short then run it at 100mg the next cycle.
Yea I have came to that conclusion after doing alot of reading online. Im gona do 40-50mg/d for the last 8 weeks.
I have a question if using prop ester would the AI be used first day then?
Or still wait 2-3 weeks? regardless of long or short ester?
Does it matter taking any of these compounds on an empty stomach or with food? Whether its an injection or a tablet.
Good job picking a single, long ester test. Most important here is to pace yourself and learn your body and how it responds to individual compounds.
With that being said, my advice is this:
No anavar, period. Drop the hcg. Could tweek the pct a lil on clomid side but what you have very well may work. Get some aromasin to bridge with adex leading into pct to avoid any rebound effect, or just run aromasin. Up to you.
You don't need to the hcg IMO on a first time 12 week run. Yes, your dudes will shrink. It's part of running gear. Prolonged cycles hcg benefits the most bc it helps with testicular atrophy and fertility issues of prolonged shutdown. 12 weeks isn't gonna cause you permanent damage on a test only cycle. Another reason tho is that hcg is an aromatizing compound. Meaning it converts to e2. Until you get a handle on managing your e2 with the given test dose, stay clear of hcg. Otherwise you're looking at a lot of trial and error and possible side effects that may be hard to control very early on.
Go look at the cycles listed in the beginners group. Cycle number 1 would work for you, minus the prop taper.
In my humble opinion i will answer your questions one by one:
1.- Not only high but unnecesary, because you wanna see how your body reacts to Testosterone. I would leave it for a cutting cycle in the future. It would be a waste to use it for 1st cycle.
2.- Arimidex is usually after the 3rd week unless you estrogen related symptomsright away(which in my case it does & find out the hard way)
3.- Again, a first cycle is not all about how many compounds i can throw in the combo. Save it for a future cycle hommie.
4.- HCG you can shoot it same day you start your cycle and keep dosing it throughout your cycle to keep your testis working properly and avoid tho shooting them down completely, But discontinue its use prior to PCT.
test only, adex starts week 3-4 , clomid is 100 first week, one compound for first cycle and that's test @ 500.
It's been my experience that waiting so long for the AI can cause some fluctuations that leave you playing catch up. For some ppl it's not much of an issue, just a change in libido. For others, it can be more uncomfortable as they could be more sensitive to e2.
hes running his very first cycle of test only, if he start his adex day 1 he will kill his estro completely, when do you suggest he starts???
I agree. IMO either beginning or end of week two.
