First Cycle for Strength Powerlifting

Pharma
1

Yes I know, another first cycle thread, but I’m reading the other posts and I would like to debate certain issues. So let´s cut to the chase

Stats:
Male; 26 years Old; Training for 6 years; RAW Powerlifter
BW: 203 lbs (92 kg) height: 6 ft (1,82 cm) %BF: 12 % (fairly cut for a Powerlifter)

Best Lifts @ 198 lbs (90 kg):
Squat 530 lbs (240 kg)
Bench Press 340 lbs (155 kg)
Deadlift 600 lbs (270 kg)

So now I decided to use gear for the first time in my life, I’m looking at Test Enanthate/ Tren / Dbol,

W 1-12 Test Ena 500-600 mg W
W 1-6 Dbol 25 mg ED
W 1-8 Tren 50-100 mg Every other Day

PCT
W 13-14 OFF
W 15-16 Nolvadex 40 mg ED
W 17 Nolvadex 20 mg ED

Please criticize substances used, quanitities, duration, PCT, keeping in mind that my main goal is strength and that I am a beginner. I do care about the aesthetic part but I don’t trade it for the weight on the Barbell.

If you think something would work better: SHOOT.

Am I correct in saying that steroids are legal to purchase/own in Portugal? You can buy them in the pharmacy without prescription?

3

No. You need prescription to get them at the pharma

4

Drop tren, dbol 40-50 mg. IMO 25 mg is not enough.

5

I’d drop Tren since its your first run and add more test. 25-50mg of Dbol will be plenty.

6

I thought about using Tren because side by side with Anadrol, people say that it’s the one that gives you the most bang for your buck on the strength department, and the side effects of Anadrol seemed a little much.

I took into consideration the fact that Tren doesn’t aromatize.

And what about training? I have the supplemental and acessory work locked, however I’m not quite sure what kind of “periodization/progression” to use, I guess that I souldn’t go linear, but not quite sure if going Westside is the best way. Ideas???

7

Looks good to me, I d add 0,5 mg of letrozole to control estradiol! 0,5 mg ed From beggining to end!

Why would you not use a linear progression? Westside is a good program but its not the only program that works if your on drugs. You almost a 1500 total drug free at 198. Your already well ahead of many lifters even one on drugs. So obviously you have found a training style that works pretty well for your body. Once you hop on gear it’ll work even better. Hell you could respond horribly to Westside and even with the drugs not do so well with it. If it is not broken do not try to fix it.

I have some issues with the Westside approach, but that’s another thread.

the problem with linear, is that I guess that when the gear starts to kick in the percentages will be too easy.

I’m thinking of using a Progressive Overload system of some sort, maybe using Block Periodization.

So after your opinions I decided to change it up to

W 1-12 Test Enanthate 500-600 mg/W
W 1-6 Dianabol 50 mg ED
W 1-8/10 Deca 400 mg/W

PCT
W 1-12 Letrozole 0,5 mg/D
W 13-14 OFF
W 15-16 Nolvadex 40 mg/D
W 17 Nolvadex 20 mg/D

What do you think?
Should I add HCG in weeks 13-14

.5mg a day of letro is a mammoth dose. You’ll probably only need that eod or even e3d.
