Feedback on my cycle (Test E & Eq)

[ChickenandTest]

Long time creeper here looking for advice but first some quick background on me..

Lifting for 8 years regularly except for a few bouts with injury. Running for distance on and off for 8 years as well but consistently for the past 8 months.

I do have a understanding of diet and it's importance to any athletic or physique goal.

I'm trying to do a clean bulk with maintainable size and strength gains while minimizing the impact my running capabilities.

I understand that my running will take a step back as more muscle means more weight which means slower running but I do not run competitively so I don't mind sacrificing a little speed for size and strength.

From what I've read it seems like the best way to accomplish my goals would be to use test and eq (along with proper nutrition and training obviously).

I was planning to do a 13 week cycle:

Test E 500mg/wk - weeks 1-13 - 250 mg Monday/Thursday

Eq 600mg/wk - weeks 1-12 - 300mg Monday/Thursday

Aromasin 12.5 EOD - weeks 1-13 (Advice on this is welcome).

For PCT I was planning to follow the perfect pct protocol exactly as it was laid out.

Am I missing anything?
Should I stop the eq and test at the same time? (My thought process here was that eq has longer half life so should be stopped a week before but I'm also open to running the test longer.)
Are the doses enough?
I've heard mixed things on hcg, do I need it?
I am willing to obtain whatever support and pct is needed prior to starting this cycle.

***This would be my first cycle of any kind***

I know some are of the belief that first cycle should be test only but I do think (in my admittedly inexperienced opinion) that this is mild enough to run as a first cycle as long as no corners are cut on support and pct.

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your advice.

Your age & stats?

If it's your first cycle and want to run Test E., I would just take it by itself. Typically, you'll see plenty of results from running it solo.

you know i don't have a problem with using EQ vs. test on a first cycle

so in this case simply run the test at a TRT dosage along with the EQ. your sides will actually be less of an issue doing it that way

This looks good -

Test E 500mg/wk - weeks 1-13 - 250 mg Monday/Thursday
Eq 600mg/wk - weeks 1-12 - 300mg Monday/Thursday
Aromasin 12.5 EOD - weeks 1-13 (Advice on this is welcome).

HCG actually does more harm then good. Run the perfect PCT protocol as laid out in the article and you are golden man!

This. Otherwise we have't actually got much to work with

EQ seemed best for me

 

[swagger2011jack]

Do as what you think. It is right
For PCT, take Clomid

Thank you for the feedback everyone..

My stats are as follows:
Male 27yo 5'10'' 190 lbs around 15% bf

I am on a cut right now and plan to start the cycle when I'm 180-185 depending how lean I am. I don't want to start until I'm at 10% so it's probably a month or two until I start the cycle.

Stevesmi you mentioned a trt dose.. Should the test be lowered?

I actually like your cycle as laid out. Either run that or just test on its own to see how you react. Typically a first cycle is just test so you can get a handle on side effects such as estrogen conversion.
