Rate My Cycle

Some background info, this will be my first cycle. I don’t really care for orals, nor the water retention/hepatoxity that generally comes with them. That said, I’ve got some quality Anavar and I figured I’d use it. Only throwing it in there for a slight kick-start, just to feel something before the gain train starts rolling.

Cycling 10Km+ a day and popping Fish and Flaxseed oil like skittles so for four weeks of mild dose Var I don’t have any huge concerns for my lipids. I did consider using this at the back end of the cycle, but just out of (understandably unfounded preference) opted to use it at the start.

I’m starting the Arimidex from day 1 at a really low dose, for my own comfort more than anything else. If I start feeling low estro sides I’ll dial it back. If I feel high estro sides, obviously I’ll dial it up. Starting low, bringing it up to standard dose around week 4-5 and then lowering it again a week before the end of the cycle to taper down.

Running HCG from week 4 till the end at week 12, kind of self explanatory though I am thinking I could probably pull it down to 500iu a week split over two days.

Nolva only PCT 40/40/20/20

Last but not least, 12 weeks of Test E at 500mg/week split mon/thurs

Week 1-4 Anavar 40mg/day split 20mg morning & evening

Week 1-4 Arimidex 0.125mg EOD
Week 5-11 Arimidex 0.25mg EOD
Week 12 Arimidex 0.125 EOD

Week 1-12 Test E 500mg per week split Mon & Thurs

Week 4-12 HCG 750iu per week split Mon, Wed & Fri

Week 15-16 Nolvadex 20mg 2x/day
Week 17-18 Nolvadex 20mg/day

Stats if relevant, 198lbs, going of charts on google probably around 12-13% bodyfat 6’ tall
Got about 3 years of training behind me. Took a year and a half off due to working pretty remotely with no real way to train. Been back for 3 months. Was pretty fat but the past 3 months have been one big cut, so all is good. Time to bulk.

looks good for the most part, but i have a few suggestions for ya.

i’d run the Anavar at the end, as you have to wait for most of the test ester to clear prior to PCT anyway.

also, i don’t think you need that much HCG during the cycle… it prolly won’t hurt since you’ve got an AI lined up already. the AI should be ran until PCT, though, to prevent any rise in estrogen prior to this…

and nolva doesn’t need to be used at anything over 20 mg/day, but it could be used for 6-8 weeks just fine.

i’d go like this:

Week 1-12 Test E 500mg/week
Week 1-13 HCG 500iu/week
Week 1-14 Arimidex 0.125mg EOD
Week 11-14 Anavar 40mg/day
Week 15-20 Nolvadex 20mg/day

Bump the anavar up a bit if you can. 60mg is okay, but 100mg is better.

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll feel a bit more comfortable with the lower HCG for longer.

I would love to run 100mg, haha. Only have around 150ish 10mg tabs though, and only really running it to use it and be done with it. Maybe next time around.

Looks ok to me. Is this your first cycle you didn’t mention? Other than the Anavar being pretty low in my opinion it looks pretty good on paper.

7

I’d keep the anavar at the beginning as that’ll get you gaining right from the start which’ll be very motivating. Need to double the var dose though!

Other than that, looks ok.

8

That’s alot of cardio everyday man if your wanting to put on some weight I hope your eating enough to cancel out that deficit from cardio

First cycle, The var is pretty low, but I am really only throwing it in the for some slight boost. Got some on hand and don’t really want to buy more/not enough to run more than say 50mg for 4 weeks.

Would love to double it, but not really that keen on getting more, not starting for a little while yet though so I may end up buying more and doubling the dose.

It’s a lot of cardio, but as a cyclist its necessary cardio… Diets pretty dialed in for calories though so I’m not afraid that i’ll be missing out on gainZ.

I missed the bit about the cardio earlier. Dude, if you’re doing a lot of cycling I’d drop the var, otherwise you’re going to get some pretty horrendous calf pumps

Yeah, that’s definitely a point I didn’t consider. Though with its fairly short half life I could drop it pretty quickly. I wonder if its worth seeing how it goes at first, The cycling isn’t really high intensity cardio work, mostly just one big flat ride, 5k each way at least. Might just eat plenty of bananas and see how it goes. Worst case scenario I drop it and still have a couple months of Test E… Can’t really lose there.

Never know until you try? Or more likely, I wish I never tried. Haha.

the pumps from anavar can’t be couterracted with potassium. That’s for cramping, not pumps. If you’ve good var, then cycling’ll cause hellish pumps and there’s not much you can do about it.

Some people say taurine helps but I’ve never thought so.
