I am planning my first cycle (not counting PHs) which I will begin in a few months. The cycle will be Test-E @500 for 12 weeks. My main goal is to understand how my body reacts to gear. My second goal is to put on as much LBM as possible during the 12 weeks. I will be eating very clean, but above maintenance and expect to put on some fat.
I want to do a Clen/T3 cycle after to lean out. How long should I wait to run Clen/T3? Is there anything else I can run in addition to Clen (except Test) to reduce my body catobolizing muscle? Should I just wait after PCT (8 weeks is a long time) to start the Clen/T3 cycle?
I don’t want to run Clen/T3 during my test cycle because I want to monitor my body and understand how it reacts to test, first and foremost. I am concerned about running Clen/T3 immediately after my Test cycle (during PCT) as my natural test will be shutdown and (I believe) my body will be in a catabolic state until I complete my PCT.
Any advice is much appreciated.
