Thread: My First cycle. looking for opinions/advice

alright guys this is my first post as well as my first cycle. Ive been researching about this decision for almost a year now and ready to pull the trigger. A little bit about myself first, im 5'10 currently about 205lbs. Been lifting on and off for about 9 years while the previous 3 have been consistent. Diet has been on point for the better half of 1-2 years. Im 25 years old and basically looking for any last minute advice before i start this cycle on the 17th.

Cycle : 250mg test e x2 week for 12 weeks.
I have aromasin on hand will use 12.5 e3d if sides occur
nolvadex for pct 40/40/20/20

23g to draw, 25g to pin

diet will be 70-75g fat, 225g protein, 250g carbs totaling 2500-2600 per day split into 4-6 meals

workouts will be a 3 day push, pull, legs split moderate weight high volume with fasted cardio 30min 2x a week.

main goal of this cycle is to gain about 15-20lbs of muscle and cut a little fat.
im currently sitting around 14-15%bf id like to finish of around 10%

planning to do bloods prior to starting, 6th week during, and post cycle.

let me know if there is something I could do better to reach this goal of mine, whether its diet, training or anything helpful. thanks

I would up the test to 500 and add more food. Your barely at maintenance at your split with 2575 calories a day.
Everyone wants to add muscle and lose fat at the same time. Dropping 5 percent and adding 20lb lean mass is quite the goal. I’d personally run high protein, low fat with carb intake centered around workouts at a total surplus of around 500 calories/ day. That should get you about 12lb of lean mass gained and probably drop some fat...

Welcome to the BOP.

i will be running test at 500mg (250mg twice a week)
so the calorie intake should be around the 3000 mark?

Welcome to the Brotherhood!

I like the simple first cycle you have planned out for your first. I'm currently running my first using Test Cyp but other than that it is all the same as yours.

Good luck with it, and have fun!!

12 weeks at 500mg test E is a good choice

If you can get some Proviron, that would help out tremendously while on cycle also. But its not needed. See how your body reacts to the test.

Good luck

You are absolutely correct. I missed that he was pinning 250 twice a week. I thought it was total. 500 test only is a perfect first cycle.

appreciate the replys everyone, at this point im going to take the advice and up my caloric intake to:

315g = carbs
275g = protein
70g = fats

What kind of supplements (whey, crea...) are you taking ? Do you take vitamins ?
