Test 400mg/ EQ 400mg Cycle

[marketaftermath]

Sup bros,

I'm starting my 4th stack cycle.. I'm 36..5'7..180lb.. aroun 10%bf... I've worked out since I was 16.. around 5 times a week. It is my 1st time taking EQ with Test.

I'd like to know your thought on the following.. I've been taking 500 mg test e a week for 4 weeks now... with 1/2 mg arimidex daily... I've been taking my shots subQ daily for stable bloods. My bloods came back with high estrogen.. right above the treshold.. 47 pg/mL.. I thought either my test was overdosed.. or adex could be underdosed (more likely).. or I'm just really E2 prone.

I'm adding EQ to the mix.. so switching my shots to Sundays and Wednesdays.. planning on lowering to 400mg test e with 400mg eq a week... running this for 16 weeks (I know I've already done test e 500mg for 4 week now)
Do yall think I should up my 1/2mg adex dose or keep it the same.. and then lower it after 6 to 8 weeks of feeling the EQ kicking in? I do understand that EQ for some has a potent AI property metabolite known as ATD.

My cycle log:
Weeks 1 thru 4 already done at 500mg test e
Week 5 and 6 400mg test e/600 mg eq (frontload eq)
Week 7 thru 18 400mg test e/400 mg eq
Week 19 thru 20 Nothing
Week 21 and 22 Clomid 100mg/Nolva 40mg
Week 23 and 24 Clomid 50mg/Nolva 20mg

I'm thinking of checking my estrogen in 4 weeks and at 8 weeks I'll check it again along with my cbc to check on the eq doing work as well.

I appreciate the feedback.

I'm doing this exact cycle now

Far as the AI, EQ has 50% conversion of testo, so if you're going from 500mg test to 400/400mg, you're taking equivalent to 600mg test.
0.5mg adex daily is a HUGE dose, insane dose even. Thats 3.5mg per week. Even half per week would be really high.
Also no need to take it daily.

18 weeks is way too long. you count the esters and you are on roids half the year which is going to be hard to ever recover from.

cut it down to 12 weeks, i don't care if you are using EQ. that is still 3 months plus the ester so 4 months on.

also clean up your pct, it is way too weak

100% this. I also don't get the logic of ADDING EQ when you've issues.

I would rather see you finish out a 12 week test only cycle and save the EQ for next round. Take proper time off and put something together at that point. You will end up running way too long by adding EQ now or run into estrogen issues if you are prone.

Too late to add EQ now. Save it for another cycle

 

[cbbram]

you should have planned this better

Thanks for the reply bro. I know that's a huge dose.. I figured the arimidex I got from a UG lab is underdosed.. as I've been taking 1/2 mg a day and my bloods came back with estrogen at 47 pg/ml. I'm switching my arimidex and will start it at .5mg EOD.. I'd rather have slightly higher than normal estrogen than lowering/crashing it on cycle.

This is good advice.. I will consider cutting my cycle shorter.. I am on the verge of saying f it.. I'll just cruise when I get off this blast.. as I just had a baby last year lol. Thank you for your reply and expertise

Thanks beast.. my estrogen came back just a few pg over the high threshold.. I'm planning on getting bloods again.. switching my arimidex to another brand as I stated that I believe it was underdosed.. I was taking .5mg a day on 500mg of test and my estrogen came back high. I do realize that 3.5mg a week is considered extremely high dose of adex. I also have aromasin coming in just in case the adex doesnt work out for me

I'm considering shortening the length of my cycle and cruising after this blast... maybe come off in about 2 years or so after I compete. I appreciate your feedback

think long and hard before you decide to blast and cruise. over the long term you will get more benefits cycling smartly

 

[RickRock]

Estrogen will be good in the 20s to mid 30s

 

[Mobster]

There are almost no great reasons IMO to B&C. Gains for sure are no better.

Before you cycle you always want to make sure that your cycle is the best option for your experience, your stats and your goals. So taking a little longer to research what to run will be very beneficial in the long run.

Running 600 mg EQ on top of my trt dose. First time commiting to it. Stopped a prior EQ cycle after 4 weeks. Vascularity is crazy. While I'm lifting I've got spider veins all over my shoulders and traps. Came out of nowhere. Going to donate blood today. I imagine my RBC is getting high after seeing that happen.

Brandon,

What's your trt dose? Are you taking any AI's for the test and eq cycle? I'm about to be on week 3.. im at 400/400 test and eq.. 1/2mg arimidex daily (new arimidex source).. I'll be getting bloods sometime next week to check my RBC and estrogen.

 

[brandontx]

Trt dose right now is 200. I take 1.5mg per week. Estrogen is on the money. The 600 mg of EQ apparently only requires an extra 1/2 mg of adex. I'm going to test it again in a month.Doesn'tt seem to aromatize much for me at least. I have a smidge of insomnia but this stuff really has no other sides. My RBC is probably up but scheduled to give blood on Tuesday.
