Hello everyone, I have been working out for about 4 years now and have built a decent base. i'm 6'0, 155 lbs currently. I don't really hold much fat so most of it is muscle. I have really locked in my diet and training recently and was wanting to start my first cycle.
Test-C 300-500mg a week for 16-20 weeks
150-250mg twice a week, IM injection (18ga drawing and 23 or 25ga 1" injection)
Nolvadex and enclo on hand for PCT. (12.5mg EOD of enclo and 20mg EOD of nolva)
Also thinking about running cjc during cycle to boost my GH levels.
Bloodwork has my total test at 587, E2 at 18, hematocrit 51.3 (little high due to my nicotine consumption already planning to quit)
I read through some forums and saw aromasin would be better than arimidex for an on/post cycle AI if i need to take one. I would appreciate any advice, changes, or thoughts. Would also consider adding something else to the cycle. I haven't got anything yet I am really wanting to do my research and go about this properly to mitigate side effects as much as possible and not be shut down forever.
Welcome to EVO brother! It looks like you have what it takes to put enough effort and detail into a log for us. We do logs here and it lets us guide you and keep track of your daily and weekly progress and you get daily or weekly advice, coaching and encouragement as well as adjustments from experienced veterans.
I haven't read yet what the others have said but here's my two cents: These are all things I feel compelled to say right off the bat... First of all, you're way too young to need to bother with steroids. You're already naturally on steroids right now with your total T at 587 and can use that to get your weight up easily to 175+ lbs. I also feel compelled to say that now that you have "really locked in" your "diet and training recently" that doesn't then correlate to now being the time to use steroids at what I glanced at your age being in the 20's (scrolling quickly above to reread your original post). Now that you've locked in your diet and training now is the perfect time then to "lock in" your calories, macros lifts, and look to gain weight first and not the perfect time to start steroids.
I always say this especially to young guys... This is the order in which you should be concentrating on your bodybuilding journey to look and feel like what you want:
- PCT (have you researched at all what to do when you come off?)
- Diet
- Training
- Steroids
Almost all young guys, or older men who just joined a gym all want to go from #4 to #1 which is backwards.
Having said ALL that and IF you're going to use steroids anyway it doesn't mean you're not welcome here at and welcome to EVO by the way brother! What it means is, let's get your PCT knowledge in check first and THEN... let's take a look at your diet and training (see #1-#4 above) via a log you start and we'll see if it's really locked in. Lift and eat yourself up above 170-175+ pounds naturally. ONLY THEN and once that's been in check for long enough should we discuss a cycle.
The dessert you've been waiting to hear about: After all is said and done if you don't want to take any advice and are going to run a cycle and have PCT, Diet, Training, and AI knowledge in check and on hand for what will be your elevated estrogen then 250mg of Sustanon for 8-10 weeks will be a reasonable first cycle for you.
Either way you should post a log here to get the attention and feedback you need to become the best you which I applaud you for.
HOW-TO LOG?
Why is a Log Journal important?
Doing a log will actually help you way more than just dropping random updates. When you lay it all out week by week you start to see patterns in your body that you won’t catch otherwise.
Other guys here run logs all the time and there’s no privacy issue, nobody is asking for your name or anything personal, it is just training, diet, and how the compound feels.
The feedback you get is also way better because people can follow along and spot things you might miss. It also helps the next guy who is thinking about running the same compound so you are giving back while you learn.
Even if you think you might not stick with it, just starting the log makes it easier to come back and add quick notes. That way you get more out of what you are running instead of keeping it all in your head.
To really guide you we need more info from you:
Please share your diet, training, cardio, sleep, supplements etc log with us in a NEW thread, full log journal so our guidance is based on facts you provide.
It will take 15-20 minutes max.
We have 100s of years of experience between us, so you need to post a LOG Journal with your stats (weight,height,age, years training, cycle history) diet, training, cardio, supplement, sleep details. If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.
Please post a Log Journal asap for us
