I'm ready to start my first cycle. First a bit of background of me. I'm 28 yrs old, 6 feet, 210 lbs. I've been lifting since I was 15 years old. I have done a few prohormone cycles, which yielded decent results (for prohormones). Recently went to my doctor. Blood pressure is normal, liver is perfect, cholesterol is perfect. I'm good to go.
Here it is:
Week 1-10 Test Cyp 250 mg/week (Stealth Test Cyp: 250mg/ml);
Week 1-12 Equipoise 200 mg/week for 1-3 then 400mg/week 3-9 then taper down;
Week 6-12 Anavar 10mg/week working up to 30mg/week (because I have it);
Week 1-12 Arimidex (.5mg every 72 hrs (as prescribed by an endrocrinologist));
PCT
Week 13-17 Clomid 100mg (week 1) then 50mg/ week for remainder.
I have Nolva on side just in case.
I have a few questions other than the general one being: Is this cycle set up right?
Do I have to take one shot per week or can I split the Eq and Test into twice per week?
Should I run the Eq longer?
Should I run the Anavar the entire cycle or should I run it at all?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Looks like you are clued up. It depends upon what you want from the cycle. Do you wanna become leaner? Do you wanna put on more bulk? Cos looking at your current dosages if you added something like clenbuterol you have a perfect cutting cycle. But if it's your first cycle I can almost guarantee most on this will advise you to run just the Test C for around 10 weeks at 400/500 mg per week. But again it depends upon your personal goals. You seem like you have done your research and have looked at side effects etc. Therefore, running test c and Eq together looks good. I would say 400/500 test and about 250 Eq. You should always have more test than Eq. Running it for 2 weeks after the test is cool too. Many say it is good to solidify gains and then the PCT does that even more. You have to run Eq for a while for it to be fully effective so 12 weeks is plenty for a 1st cycle.
The armidex is cool. I would have said around .25mgs per day due to the dosages. But the .5 should every 3 days will be cool. That would be sufficient to combat estrogen-related side effects. It is important to remember that some estrogen is necessary to obtain optimal muscle growth. I would throw in some HCG at the end. But you wouldn't start until 2 weeks after your last shot. Others will say the clomid is fine. Personally all the people I speak to reckon Nolvadex is far better than Clomid. If you do the Nolvadex you only need to run a max of 20mg per day (especially due to your dosages). So if you wanna gain bulk I would recommend:
Week 1-10= Test C (400/500mg per week 2 seperate shots)
Week 1-12= Eq (250mg per week)
Week 1-12= Arimidex (dosage you state)
PCT
Week 14= HCG (1500 IU every 4th day 3 times so 12 days)
Week 13-17= Your clomid suggestion or Nolvadex instead
Some will advise do just do the HCG during the cycle at a very small dosage per week. I hear it is best if your doing a 12 weeks cycle to do what I mention above after around 5 weeks and then again at the end (ensuring sufficient space between so the 6/7 weeks or so would be cool).
If you decide just to do your cycle instead or one with similar dosages (250mg of test) then 1 injection would be fine. If you are gonna do 500mg then I would split them up. I am doing about 650mg of test c now and do 2 injections Mon and Thurs. I am doing Deca too (similar to Eq) and inject that on Tues at about 300mg per week. If you have the stealth sachets thats 1250mg of test c per sachet. Do you know what to do with the sachets in regards to getting the stuff out and storing it?
Anyway hope that helps. Let me know how you get on.
