Cycle and exams

ad

So im looking to start my cycle around January problem is I've never done a cycle while in school. I'm going for my PharmD (Becoming a pharmacist). i was wondering would you rather: a, be on cycle while writing examinations. B, be about done pct and writing exams. or c, stay off the cycle till summer.

any input would be great.

I'm finishing up my engineering degree currently and am on cycle now. It's never going to be absolutely perfect but my workouts are more intense and shorter but still they actually keep me centered and focused so I can accomplish what I need to in school

true ok, maybe ill start my cycle 5 weeks befor finals, dbol will be used up and be straight test, pct in the summer. im fine with that.

If I were you I'd just run short cycles. Run a 6-8 week blast of test prop and maybe anavar. Then do a 3 week pct and take the next few months off to focus on school.

In the end do what works for you.

Doesn't matter really. The main thing is don't let your cycle interfere with your school time. So you may spend 5 hours per day just eating and working out. Can be hard to juggle, especially if you have a job.

Another thing, is I HATE being on pct during school because on clomid I turn into a whiney bitch and have no motivation to do stuff especially long boring hard classwork.

What I do now is start my cycles towards the end of the semester. I make sure to eat heavy and spend all my focus on school. Work out 3x per week during this time as the anabolics are not in full course yet. By the time school is finished I'll be about week 5 in my cycle and its only just beginning. Then I get to devote my time 100% to lifting and eating. Never missing a meal. I usually will be doing pct during the break also. I start back up school post pct which is tough at first.

Usually the first month after pct is the worst then it gets better after that. Have less energy and motivation but make sure to keep eating and workout 3x per week and you should do fine. This way your head is clear by the mid semester to focus on school

Concentrate on your school work and keep your head clear. The juice will always be there later.

also a lot of my classes are very lenient and i can eat during them np. usually rice crackers and a protein shake.

OK, so no pct during exams, and i cook every Sunday as is. and im already a very dedicated athlete. thanks for the input guys.

Schooling pretty much means you can't eat when you need to, you never get enough sleep, your constantly stressed. PCT around exams is the worst possible scenario imo.. I'd wait but that's just me

i 2nd that if your gunna be on do it through finals week. for me i try to start pct during break or beginning of a term so u can adjust and not have it affect your grades too much. ill be on through finals for fall term and start pct winter term at the beginning of the year. more realistic in my opinion kinda more confident and more energy to study if your on getting close to finals. thats just my 2 cents man

yup, the motivation to go to class during pct is almost non existent and it's hard as balls to focus

It's all personal and would change from person to person. As someone who has gone to work and school and cycled all I have to say is, are you okay with spending most of your Sunday cooking/working on school so that way you can have meals with you at all times? How about actually getting into the gym? Will you have enough time for that? It's like anything, you gotta have a plan otherwise it'll be a waste.

It depends on your self, I'm currently going for my phd and I compete, you gotta schedule yourself shit does come up, stay focused. If you don't think you can handle the load well there's your answer. Life's rough, but I noticed when on cycle, I gain more focus on my studies and idk if its a placebo but not only does weight go up but so Does my grades go figure. But best of luck to you dude
