I have been reading as much as I can regarding a first cycle. This is a protocol I have developed so far and I am hoping for some advice and critique, all which I would be grateful for.
My stats:
22 years old (Training with weights since the age of 13)
6ft
115kg
Squat-230kg
Bench-180kg
Deadlift-260kg
I believe my Arimidex dose may be considered higher than some suggest but my older brother when cycling test had high oestrogen levels which appeared quickly as well. So I thought I would start off there and try dial it in as I go.
I need to read up more on HCG. What would anyone recommend in terms of dose, when to start and when to finish?
Test e 300 mg"" for 12 weeks is great for a first cycle, I usually put guys on 400 mg, especially since your a bigger guy, maybe see how your body reacts to 300 then bump it up. Also, at that low of a test dosage, you may not need an AI. It’s good to have one on hand in case estrogenic sides pop up, but I wouldnt just throw it in right off the bat. Hope this helps!
With your size and your age, 300 will probably be barely above normal test ranges. Everything else looks great however if you’re going to put in all the time, effort and money for supporting medications then you might as well just run 500 and get some real results.
You do not need to take arimidex after your test dose is discontinued. Unless you’ve reached your final test injection and your e2 is still incredibly high there’s no real need to keep taking it. It accumulates half-lives just as any other drug, so as your test half-lives are breaking down so too are those from the arimidex. If you keep taking it for two weeks after your cycle ends you run the risk of crashing e2 right as you’re going into pct.
