Hey guys, new to the forums here (writing, that is) but not to the life. I'm starting a cycle in about a month and have one specific question (but of course am open to general comments and observations). I've been lifting for over 20 years, I'm 35 yrs old, 5'10, currently around 180 pounds. I managed to stay away from the dark side until earlier this year when I ran a test e/EQ cycle at 600mg/600mg per week. I loved it, responded very well, not moving much on the scale (maybe 5kg) but recomping very nicely. I live in Rio, so diet is VERY different than what it can be in the US and general physical activity is much higher.
Since I waited so long before doing any kind of hormone, I believe I was in a much better position for success here. I know how my body responds to different diet and training protocols NATURALLY, and since I never stopped studying or researching steroids I was in a great position to be successful and safe (IMO). I ran the injects for 14 weeks, then ran 30 days of winny (40mg/day) and anavar (20mg/day). For PCT, which I started the day after my last dose of the orals, I tapered Nolva for 5 weeks. Also, I ran hcg all through the cycle stopping before PCT (250 IU twice per week). I also started using low dose cialis (10mg/day) which I continue to do. For AI, I chose exemestane. I didn't feel that I needed it at all until 6 weeks into the cycle when I had some water retention. I took 12.5mg twice per week and that was all I needed. I did have some acne, but that's something I get from time to time anyway on account of the climate and diet changes from hopping continents.
Now, the one mistake I feel that I made was not migrating to a shorter ester later in the cycle. I wasn't really planning on running any orals, or would have run them with the last month of the injections, but for some reason never figured in the fact that the long half-life of the test e and EQ means that at some point there isn't enough of the drug in my system for an anabolic effect, but too much to allow for recovery. That's why I just switched to orals for a month before PCT. Ideally, I would have had some test prop in there as well. So, for my next cycle I plan on using the same test e/EQ base, but then switching to andromix (test p/tren a/mast a, 50mg/each per ml) for a certain amount of time beginning a week after the last test e/EQ injection. This is where I'm open to suggestions. On one hand, the conservative and safe old fart in me thinks it wise to use this at a minimal dosage (say, 1ml eod) for a minimal amount of time just to let the long esters clear my system (say, 4 weeks). On the other hand, given my base I could probably get away with running the andromix for longer at a higher dosage. 1ml per day would give me 350mg per drug per week, and running it for 6 weeks (40 days would polish off 4 vials of the stuff) the total cycle length would be about 20 weeks and I'd get the most out of the tren and other compounds. I'll take hcg throughout the cycle along with cialis this time (though my blood pressure was perfect), and along with the andromix I'll take anavar and winny. I'll also start generic HGH blacktops at cycle start and continue until I finish what I have, which should be about 170 days worth. Until then I'm just taking a peptide combo for hgh secretion (ipamorelin and cjc-1295 w/o DAC). I want to start this cycle after I finish with the peptides I just reconstituted, which should be about a month from now. Oh, and I do have prami and caber on hand for prolactin sides, exemestane, and nolva. If the cialis isn't enough to keep BP in check, I can give blood. I will keep a log here if anybody is interested.
Thoughts?
