Critique my first cycle

[Archamage]

Hey guys-

I'm looking for some experienced feedback on starting up my first cycle. First off, I'm 32 y/o, 5'8", 165#, ectomorph, hard gainer. Been actively lifting since I was 18. No prior cycles to this point, nor have I ever taken any pro-hormones. The gains I have been able to make have been through busting my a$$ in the gym, good supplements and following a very strict diet (more on diet in another post).

Proposed cycle:
-Test E 500mg q/wk (maybe cyp @ 400 q/wk)
-Clomid 20mg
-PCT being nolva @ 300mg day1, 100 day2, and 50 days 3-21.

Just looking for some feedback before going ahead and getting the gear. Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: Critique my first cycle

the test only cycle is the smartest move on a first cycle. You wont need more than 5-600mg a week. I like HCG at the end of the cycle and clomid after HCG. I am not a fan of nolvadex. You sound like you are on the right track.

I'm curious, why do you say your not a fan of nolvadex? Thanks for the input.

Re: Critique my first cycle

Nolva gives me a freakn headache @ 50mg ed, & ur proposing 300mg on day1. OUCH! Remember CLO is part of PCT try not to start it too soon after ur last pin. By the way how long r u lookn go 8/12/24 wks?

Re: Critique my first cycle

Plan on going for 10-12 weeks. Ideally, I'm looking for clean, lean gains of ~ 15lbs. I've got my diet pretty well dialed in and have been fine-tuning it oer the past few weeks.

I'd like to hear of other's proposed PCT, if possible. I have been going through the archieves and came across this (300/100/50) and have been trying to find as much information as I can.

Suggestions?

AS LONG AS YOUR DIET IS ON POINT, 400-500MG/WEEK FOR 10-12 WEEKS WILL YEILD SOME NICE GAINS. AGAIN, ITS ALL IN YOUR DIET, THESE AREN'T MAGIC INJECTIONS YA KNOW.

Re: Critique my first cycle

Here's somthin I used during my last cycle. http://www.bulkmuscle.com/pct/ it helpd calc when 2 start PCT. This thing takes into a acct the TE esters helps pin point the day that PCT would be best optimized.

I don't have 2 big of problem w/ gyno so 40-50 mg ed of Nolva is good for me during the actual PCT phase I chose sumthin like this:

wk 1: clomid 100mg Nolva 40mg
wk 2: clomid 50mg Nolva 30mg
wk 3: clomid 50mg Nolva 20mg

Re: Critique my first cycle

The cycle itself, enthanate @ 500 mg per week looks good. I've never run Nolvadex as part of PCT so I cannot help there. I'll run HCG (say 500iu 2x per week) beginning a few weeks into the cycle to help keep testicular atrophy at bay. Then I'll jump into clomid therapy a few weeks post cycle, depending upon which compounds I've used in my cycle.

Shit, my bad. I screwed up the PCT schedule. What I MEANT to write was:

PCT- CLOMID
3 weeks after last injection
1ST DAY 300MG OF CLOMID
2ND DAY 100MG OF CLOMID
THEN FOR THE NEXT 19 DAYS 50MG A DAY 21 DAYS TOTAL OF PCT

Re: Critique my first cycle

ALL LOOKS GOOD BRO...TEST ONLY CYCLE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO BUDDY....500-600MG A WEEK AND YOU SHOULD BLOW UP WITH PROPPER DIET AND EXERCISE OF COURSE.....

Re: Critique my first cycle

Your pct should start two weeks after last shot, Not 3
I also run the 100mg dose of clomid for 7 days before droping to 50 mgs.
Test E or C with be fine also.

Re: Critique my first cycle

If you want to run nolva as part of pct, imo id run it with clomid. Like 100mg clomid for 1 wk and 3wks at 50, run nolva 20mg a day thruout pct. Ppl have different ways of running clomid like 300-100-50, but with this cycle of just test, i think this will work good for you.

I think you have the nolva and clomid backwards bro! With that said, the clomid, in my opinion, should be 300 mg day 1, 150 mg day 2, 100 mg days 3-7, 50 mg days 8-21. But that's my opinion. Also, I would take the nolva unless you know for sure you are prone to gyno. Limiting estrogen will limit gains so even if you do take it, I wouldn't start it until half way through. Again, that's my opinion.
