Hello,
This is my first cycle and first post. I have done a lot of research and forum surfing and I feel like I know what I'm doing but I would like to double-check everything. I am starting an 8-week cycle on the 16th of this month. I am getting baseline blood work done on the 11th to check Testosterone, Estradiol, and Prolactin levels. I will also have week 6 blood work done to make sure everything is running smoothly.
Basic info
21 year old male
5'10"
152lb
unknown BFI (~10%?)
Diet
for the past 3 weeks in prep if hiked my intake. This is what I plan to hold for the duration of my cycle.
3200 calories
165g protein
400g carbs
~90g fat (some days it's like 60g)
I have been consistent in the gym for 3 years and I go about 5x a week. Recently I have been going every day in addition to 45 minutes of cardio outside(walking or jogging). I plan to continue going every day throughout the cycle as well as through PCT
Cycle Stack
Tren A - 200mg/week (60mg EOD)
Test E - 400mg/week (120mg EOD)
(Pinned together)
Arimidex - .5mg E7D
I was originally going to supplement Caber too. Instead, I'll have it on standby for .25mg E3D if I need prolactin support.
PCT
(This is where I need the most help)
The first 2 weeks after the last pin
HCG 1000 IU EOD
Arimidex - .5mg E7D
The following 5 weeks
Clomid - 50/50/25/25/12.5 (ED)
Nolvadex - 40/20/20/20/10 (ED)
Aromasin - 12.5/12.5/6.25/6.25 (EOD) (only 4 weeks)
I think this is a pretty good cycle, please let me know if you have any critiques or suggestions. Also, a question to go along with this. Should I run the 5-week PCT or should I cut a week off of the 3 supplements?
@MitchM welcome to the evolutionary.org family and while age is a factor and I DO NOT think you should be using steroids at your age, based on reading your post you staring a cycle on 16th, well there is no choice but to help you otherwise you'll do it blind
now can you hold off your cycle for 1 month? while we talk about your diet and training and plan it more
for example I'd like to see your LOG journal with your diet training cardio sleep supplements in way more detail in a NEW thread
can you do that? that would be the way to go and please do
Currently, I am working out every day. I mainly shoot for hypertrophy training, 60% weight for as many reps as physically possible. 1 day push, 1 day legs, 1 day pull, 1 day abs and legs, repeat. I have been shooting for 3.2k calories with 165g of protein, 400g of carbs, and 90g of fat. Most days my fat never reaches that much though. I eat as clean as I possibly can. I usually start with a half gallon of chocolate 1% milk(yes Ik I can consume something cleaner with less calcium but it's hard to beat 1360 calories, 232g carbs, 20g fat, and 64g protein...) then for lunch its usually some variation of chicken or tuna, sometimes lean beef, with a preferable non processed carb. Then I eat something very similar to lunch for dinner making sure to pick foods that fill in the blanks on my macros. If I missed anything I will cap off before bed. I also consume around 128oz of water a day.
While I do understand the concern. This statement also confuses me. I've read plenty of posts on here of people running a cycle at my same weight with double my dosage and getting tons of support for it. I fully understand that age is a huge factor in all of this but that's why I stuck to a lower dose of Tren and plan to only run this cycle. I also fully understand the height of this decision. I already have my stack on hand and fully intend to run it. I'm mostly asking for changes in dieting, dosing, etc. to make sure I do this in the safest way.
start a new thread so we can guide you right way
To really guide you we need more info, we need you to share your diet, training, cardio, sleep, supplements etc log with us, full log journal so our guidance is based on facts you provide.
If you want us to really guide you, and we have 100s of years of experience between us, 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
