My very first stack was 400mg test and 400mg EQ and I gained great! So don’t listen to those "you have to run at least 600’ comments. Yes 600 would probably net you more but this is your first stack so keep it reasonable. I feel going to 1000mgs total per week is the line and even that is pushing it. With EQ you will get better results running longer vs higher.
As far a ratio some guys swear you need test higher but I have not experienced that as a necessity. I will add right here run your test two weeks past your EQ, how you wrote it I was not 100 that you meant 1 or 2 weeks.
With what I read about you my two cents is get three bottles of the blend and run 15 weeks. I know that’s a bit much for your second cycle but I refer you to the whole run EQ longer vs higher comment. If you had a way to get three bottle and run it 12-14 weeks then that would be ideal. Even as I typed it I realized three bottles will not get you 15 weeks. I have been doing this a while and I think only a handful of times I have ever been able to get 10 full 1 ml shots out of a bottle. That last shot is always 1/2 to whatever.
If you know you are going to run more cycles then just get a simple test bottle to run your test out two weeks past. But if money or whatever like “you don’t want a half empty bottle in your drawer” for the next 6 months. Then get a bottle of test propionate 100. It how I always use to finish any long ester cycle. Run that bottle 100mgs EOD and that gets you right at 3 weeks. Once it’s done wait a couple days the start PCT. It works for enanthate based cycles, decanoate based, or undecanoate based. It’s great because in the back of your head you are expecting that test prop to help you drop the extra water weight so you put in extra at the gym to help it, it totally helps you harness the placebo effect for your benefit. And it actually might help you get the water off and burn a little extra fat. That prop ester really changes how that test hits and effects you. It shouldn’t but it does.
For your aromasin. Unless if you know you have estrogen issues then start your cycle and self monitor. Chances are since you are newer to cycling you will start to retain water and all that. At that time start with 12.5 mgs on the two days of the week you inject the test/EQ blend. Even though aromasin has a short half life the way it attacks the Aromatase enzyme the effects last for a few days. So dosing every 3.5 days should be good. If it doesn’t do the trick then slowly increase the dose. Stay at new dose for about two weeks to see if it does the trick. A lot of new guys want instant results and end up over using and way over dosing AI and that works against them. The AI needs some time to work then your body needs time to adjust to the new levels then the signs take some time to come through.
I wanted to state something I sort of already stated. Even with long esters like enanthate , decanoate or undecanoate it is always better to take two equal shots per week vs one big one. It’s just easier to manage if you keep your levels as steady as possible. Estrogen, emotional, gains, everything is easier to manage if you keep your levels as steady as possible.
I realize your plan was for 600 mg of each. I just can’t say ok to that without knowing more and even then I wouldn’t just because I know some idiot will read 1200 mg per week on a second cycle and just use it to justify something dumb. In reality I think you would be ok but I just don’t think going over 1000 per week is justifiable this early. Take from me I was always concerned with total mgs and kept things low while friend just drank vials for shots and giggles. I don’t even ask them where they run their gear anymore and for myself, even being cautious that threshold dose has steadily gone up. I use to run around 1500 if I had three different compounds and I did it only every other cycle aka once a year. Even that dose doesn’t get me the returns I use to get. It’s just a fact of this game, as you develope the same dosage has a lower and lower mg to body pound ratio and thus less effective. And that doesn’t even take into account for tolerances and the like.
Go easy you want to be able to successfully run gear for years because being the 50 yo that is jacked and ripped is awesome, 20 something girls will always have daddy issues. Or if you like dudes I bet the 20 something’s have daddy issues too. Plan your game to be that 50 year old. I am still years away but I am already appreciating the looks I get from the young ones.
If you absolutely just had to run it to 1000 you could get a simple test bottle and add I. 200 of test or you could take and extra 1/2 cc of the blend. I don’t think there will be any appreciable difference at the end in regards of test or blend to get you from 800 to 1000. I will say some guys do seem to react to EQ. I don’t but some do so they always run test higher. My theory is the EQ and deca problems are connected to those long as esters, just look at test e vs test p. The enanthate has all these bloating and estrogen sides associated where as the same mg of test p doesn’t.
Okay I have ranted on my tangent enough.
Feel free to ask for clarification, I definitely started and didn’t slow down till now so who knows what will transmit as I intended.
Which sucks. But whatever. I know any cycle is playing with your body. And I do plan to get blood work I’ve already got my pre cycle done and I’m all on point there.
