Hey guys!
So happy to be a member on this forum.
The last time I did a cycle I was 22. Now I am 35.
I didn't want to get crazy with this... and please!
I am treating this new cycle as my first one.
Now, I weight 178lbs at 5'10".
I have relatively low body fat.
My goal for this cycle:
Some screenshots of my schedule (first half):
... and the second half with the PCT:
CYCLE:
Pretty basic I guess.
For the cycle, I will run Dianabol (kickstart) at 30mg a day and Testosterone Cypionate at 250mg every three days for 10 weeks. I will also take Aromasin at 12.5mg every other day and halve the dosage after my last 250mg test shot.
I could have added Proviron to the mix to make this stack more powerful and get a crisper look by reducing the bloat but I didn't want to mess around too much with my cholesterol levels.
Proviron also increases DHT levels and may have the effect of a nuke on my scalp. I already lose my hair so I don't want to make things worse quickly. I recently discovered that a topical solution of 0.005% Minoxidil/Finasteride (roughly 2.5mg of Finasteride dissolved in a bottle of 60ml of Minoxidil) still offers great protection while not going systemic. I may use the Finasteride and Minoxidil I have to make my own topical solution.
Should I run Proviron with Dianabol? What do you think?
PCT:
For the PCT, I will be taking Nolvadex and MK-677. I will still also train like a maniac as I think it may be the best way to rebound. The Perfect PCT recommends Ostarine, but I wasn't sure as Ostarine is a little suppresive. I thought maybe instead I should run Enclomiphene at 12.5mg. Studies show enclomiphene increases testosterone levels comparable to TRT. What are your opinions on this?
Ultimately for this PCT, I want to rebound fast, reduce stress and cortisol to a minimum, remain anabolic, and keep almost all my gains.
Risk mitigation:
Lipids out of whack: I added Cardarine as a preventive measure to minimize the impact on lipids and cardiovascular system. I also made few adjustements to my diet — no trans fat, no processed foods. Omaga-3s are also there to minimize the negative impact on lipid levels.
High blood pressure: Cialis is there to relax the blood vessels and hopefully lower blood pressure. I will also do cardio everyday to help with this. I will drink plenty of water.
Gyno: Aromasin is there to reduce aromatization and serum estrogen levels. I will start at 12.5mg every other day. If I have a flare up, if I feel a pain in my nipples, I will increase the frequency from every other day to everyday. If it doesn't solve the issue, I will increase the dosage by 50%. I think I could even take Nolvadex since Aromasin seems to cancel the side effects of Nolvadex (ie. decrease of IGF-1) and could be run simultaneously with no arm? I also have Letrozole but I hope I won't have to use it.
Bloat: Aromasin will hopefully help with this. I will make sure to take my magnesium and revisit my diet even though it is absolutely clean and add soluble fibers as well. I will also drink my water!
Hepatoxicity: While I am taking Dianabol, I will be taking NAC, milk thistles and lipoic acid to reduce inflammation and damage. I will also take vitamin B6 and B12. I won't be drink any alcohol during this cycle nor eat processed foods.
Acne: In case of an acne breakout, I will shower twice a day first, and bump up the dosage of Aromasin if need be.

My goal for this cycle:
- Get to 200lbs lean, meaning without the bloat and staying at the same body fat.
- Make my chest more 3D.
- Add thickness to my back and calves.
