I just started my first cycle last Saturday so I can’t give a whole lot of knowledge other than what I have read in my own research. I’m currently taking 12.5 mg of Aromasin EOD but am in the phase where i’m trying to figure out how much i actually need.
Almost same stats, i’m 25, 179.5 starting weight and was 13% bf.
After reading a ton and even more talking with friends who have done cycles, everyone says to do a test only first cycle. This way you know what you react to, keep it simple, and first cycle you make a shit ton of gains anyways so you don’t need the extra stuff. I am even doing 375MG of Test Cyp a week. Lower than your 500. We will see how it goes, most folk seem to think that’ll still be plenty as its not an exponential curve of how much test to take. Then for my second cycle i’ll go up to 500. But I am in a slight debate about this so it could change down the road.
For the PCT, you want to give 2 weeks after final injection to let the test leave your system before starting PCT or its a waste. You may also want to look into taking HCG for those 2 inbetween weeks. Gets the testies kick started to help you better keep all the gains you just worked so hard to get.
Best of luck to you and if you care to follow along with my journey:
