Thread: First cycle setup - NickA

Hi all!
After reading about it and thinking about it for a long time, I'm ready to make the leap.
Stats: 26 years old, 6'4'', 208 lbs, 10% bf, 9 years lifting experience (seriously the last five years).
My training regiment and diet has been up to speed the last five years. My maintenance level is about 3500kcal/day.

I'm looking to do a nice and simple test e cycle for 12 weeks with the following setup:
Week 1-12: test E, 400-500mg/week with injections Mondays and Thursdays. Btw, I was a medic in the army so I've done a few intramuscular injections on myself during training :P Not afraid of pinning.
Week 1-14: Aromasin 12.5mg eod. Keep letro on hand in case of gyno.
Week 9-12: HCGenerate (3 caps am, 2 caps pm, ED)
PCT:
Week 13-18: Forma-Stanzol, 5 pumps am and pm for first four weeks, then taper down to 3 pumps am and pm.
Week 15-18: Unleashed/post cycle combo (1 caps of each 3 times a day)
Week 15-18: Clomid 25 mg ED
Week 15-18: daa powder

My goal is to build as much LBM as I can by continuing the hard workouts, eating very cleanly and roughly 500-700 kcal above maintenance, and getting enough sleep.
I've already done my baseline blood work, and I'm getting blood work done every four weeks on cycle so I can see how the test and aromasin is working and properly monitor my health.

Advice and input is much appreciated!

I would just go 500mg week Test E or C....adex on hand. May not need it. Basic clomid/nolva pct. Thats it...nice and simple

OTC on cycle and post cyle supplements are a waste of money IMO.

Week 1-12 test E or C (250mg Mon/Thur)
14 days past last inj....50mg clomid for four weeks Nolva 20mg three weeks

May not need any AI, if you dont mind alittle bloat. Go with arimidex.

what is Forma-Stanz? OTC? then drop it.

Yes, for my first time I just want to run test E and see how I react to that. I'm getting both adex and aromasin to see how I respond to each. I will try to keep estrogen in check so I'll be using an AI on cycle.

Forma-stanzol is OTC and has the effect of Formestane.

wont be needed. Spend your money on more test or food...leave that stuff for the highschool kids and springbreakers

You will love the test....i know I did...still do !

Yep, food is one area where I'm not trying to save money. Quality food will go a long way!

dang man, not much work needed here. agreed, at minimum 500mg/week of test. i think jdb3 hit the nail on the head with regards to pct.

Btw, how much above maintenance would you set your kcal intake on such a cycle? I'm trying to do a nice lean bulk, but I don't know what to expect with the added aas. I know from previous experience that I should limit it to 300-400 kcal above/day to avoid too much fat gain, but that was all natural. I would imagine I could go a little higher with the added test.
