My first cycle.
First off stats as someone will ask.
36 years 5'10" 200 lbs. I have been training for 20 years off and on due to injuries from sport.
My main goal for starting a cycle is to increase my power, which increases my speed, making me faster and winning races. Fairly simple, I am not looking for long term usage, just to get over a hurdle here or there.
My cycle plans are 12 weeks 400 mg of test a week, I will have arimidex on hand for on cycle estrogen issues which I don't know if I am prone too.
For my PCT I have clomid and nolva, the test part of the cycle is odvious too me. The PCT seems to vary from person to person, I know there is a search button and have used it lots. I could spend hundreds of hours reading posts, or just post my own and wait for the flame or help which ever comes first.
Let me also say that I don't plan stick a pin or pop a pill till I get everything in my hands and dialed in so I can do it right.
My questions are do I just use the arimidex fromt he start regardless, or wait for the nipples?
Does my cycle and intentions for the cycle seem within the range of what would could be called normal and appropriate for me?

AnonI wonder if I should add Dianabol to the cycle, to really maximize my first cycle?
Why would you add Dbol..... It erl retain water and slow your cardio and overall speed. Your goal is speed correct!
tread-mYou maximize your first cycle with good kitchen work and heavy lifting not additional compounds. You have to learn these compounds one at a time so you know what does what and all the effects. Even down the road when you add a second compound I might run you towards tbol over dbol if quality is part of the goal...test only here is my call and you will be impressed if you understand proper diet to goal is 90% of any cycle or off cycle routine.
AnonAm I just looking for early signs in the nipple area, itchy, burning, tingling, bumps etc. Anything else I should be on the watch for?
Anonthe 600 range would be better...given his age.
AnonI am not a hurdler, I race bicycles down mountains.
My bodyfat would be a guess but compared to most people in the gym I would be one of the leaner guys so probably 15% bodyfat or so, and yes your right I have been mostly in shape my entire life. I started playing rugby and wrestling competitively at age 12.
I have my diet in check as of now, and since the the newyear 100% clean there. I eat protein like a horse, 200grams a day minimum. I also have to keep calories up with carbs or I loose bodyweight fast when cycling, but of course I can always do better here.
I will take the advise and go with 500 mg a week, seeing that I have never tried aas before should I start with a lower dose at 400 per week twice a week to start or just go with 500 all at once?
My personality would dictate that I jump in with both feet at warp speed, but on this situation I am checking the water depth first.
I really couldn't express how important having people like all you here to help and encourage me, without this site I would not be even trying a cycle.
Nasty81Nate500 is fine bro...first cycle is gonna be your best one...don't short change yourself
AnonAh yes I was not thinking about this being my best cycle.
This also could be my only cycle for several years if I can achieve my goals this season, givin that my ultimate goal involves a piss test, and a shit load of cash and effort to get there.
tread-mI don't see your bf% so hard to address the adex use on cycle. At that height and 200 it could be all over the place low to high. I suspect being an athlete you have spent a life in good shape including puberty years meaning you have never had chest fat which is a fairly good indicator of gyno predisposition. Adex on hand is good unless you have high bf and then I might say get that in check or kill possible estrogen overage early on with the AI even if you pull it after a bit. Figure you're in great shape though so whats laid out here in the thread looks nice to me. I may lean to just a bit more test at your age but you will achieve at 400 so I won't bash conservative at all. IMO maybe hit 500 split though. Dial that diet in like your new religion, that will be a game changer in your success. Have you had any blood work to see where your natty test is by chance?
AnonSorry I missed that one 500 split? Are you saying push to 1000m's a week towards cycle end, split over two 500's?
A little slow on the jargon there.
Nasty81Nate500 mg a week, split into 2 seperate 250mg shots. For example, 250mg shots on Monday and Thursday every week through the entire cycle.
AnonK this is what I was hoping he was saying. I thought a 1000 first time out was a bit crazy.
AnonMy exact thoughts on the test amounts.. on point as always boss!
What's your BF and hurdle distance (110 or 400)? You sound a bit heavy for a hurdler in my experience.
AnonI see why you think I am a hurdler, I meant that more metaphorically than literally.

AnonFor a 36 year old, I would like to see you run Test at 500-600 a week bro. don't shut yourself down for a lower level.
everything else my brothers said below are on point.
sgtstedankoYes your cycle/s (400 test c) look valid to me brother. Good to know you waited to cycle, until yoy completely maxed? Pretty rare these days, especially around here lately: ) I'll be honest, I just skimmed your post. You can use adex to keep bloat down. You should research the PCT part of the forum. That's all I will say. Good luck!
Nasty81NateWait for sides to start to show then run the armidex at .25mg EOD. Your doing a pretty simple cycle, a Nolva only post cycle will work fine. Start it 2 weeks after last shot, run the nolva ED for 40 mg weeks 2 weeks and 20mg ED for 2 more weeks
