First Time Cycle Critiques
Hey everyone, been lurking around forums here and there for a few years just sitting back and reading. I've finally decided to go deep into the rabbit hole after years of training and contemplating...
Anyways as for my training I usually do something everyday with a mix of strength work, speed work, and stamina. I mix in a lot of powerlifting, olympic lifting, and crossfit metcons.
Diet cals/macros vary a lot depending on training but usually on intense days (3-4 per week) I eat 3k cals with 200-225g of protein and fit the rest with carbs and fats of what i feel like eating that day. On rest days i go with 2-2.5k depending on what i did that day usually same protein lower carb higher fat.

PCT
Aromasin 12.5 ed 4 wks
Nolva 40/40/20/20

A friend also has 2-3 weeks worth of 25mg oral winny and i was thinking of either throwing that in the beginning or end of my cycle, any thoughts?
My plan is to continue eating the same and monitor results and slowly add cals if necessary. My goals of the cycle is to maintain or recomp while increasing all of my lifts. I chose to add eq for added stamina and performance in my crossfit endeavors.
Any feedback is much appreciated!

LMFAO
rule of thumb is the first cycle consists of one compound and that compound is either test e or test c no more then 500 a week and for 10 to 12 weeks for a few reasons. test is a staple in any cycle and you do not want any more then 10 to 12 weeks as you want to be able to bounce back fairly quick you don't want to shut down so hard for long, because you want to keep your gains as much as you can and that comes down to pct and diet supporting all your new muscle. another reason you use one compound is say for example if you use multiple compounds and orals and you have a bad reaction to one you will have to abort your cycle because you will not know which one it is. your first cycle should be simple and easy. also with eq it takes a long time and 16 to 20 weeks is needed for it. but not on a first cycle. first cycle should always be test only and second one also wouldn't be a bad idea either. its a marathon not a sprint.
agree
and HCGenerate is not going to cut it for a PCT
Even along side nolva and aroma? What would yousuggest adding? Thanks for the feedback
You need some clomid in there
clomid 100/100/50/50
Nolva 20/20/10/10
Arom 12.5/12.5/6.25/6/25
Think twice about cycling at your age. Your endocrine system likely still has some maturing to do and you could be shortchanging your long term gains by not maxing out your natural potential first and taking advantage of your naturally high T levels at your age.

I figured this would be the initial response to my aspirations. The only reason I even considered adding EQ is the overall mild effects of the compound and the properties increasing rbc's for added stamina and work capacity in metcons. I figured a lower than the average dose of test to supplement would be sufficient. I guess I'm just excited to reach new limits, ha. Thanks for the feedback guys.
